Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary material of the catch?

The product is crafted from high-quality solid brass, ensuring a heavy, durable construction.

Does this catch include the necessary hardware for mounting?

Yes, it includes both the catch body and the corresponding latch keep.

Can this be used on bathroom cabinets?

Yes, but ensure the room has adequate ventilation, as prolonged direct exposure to high humidity may eventually affect the finish.

Is the finish matte or shiny?

The satin chrome finish provides a muted, professional sheen rather than a mirror-like polish.

What are the dimensions of the latch keep?

The latch keep measures 52mm in height by 15mm in width.

How do I clean the catch without damaging it?

Wipe it down with a soft microfiber cloth; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

The catch does not latch securely.

Check the alignment between the catch and the keep. You may need to slightly adjust the position of the keep by loosening its screws and shifting it horizontally.

The handle feels loose after installation.

Ensure the mounting screws are tightened fully. If the screw holes in the wood have become stripped, insert a small amount of wood glue or a tooth pick to provide new grip for the screw threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Solid brass build ensures longevity
  • Ergonomic beehive design improves grip
  • Satin chrome finish resists fingerprint smudges

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial furniture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Spira Brass Beehive Cupboard Catch requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill and a screwdriver. Begin by measuring the center-to-center distance required for the catch body, then mark and drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting. The latch keep must be mounted in direct alignment with the catch mechanism; test the fit before tightening the screws to ensure the latch seats fully into the keep without excessive force. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the catch down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the satin chrome protective layer over time.
