Deltana MC326 Magnetic Catch 3-1/8" x 1" x 9/16"

That's the whole point of the MC326. Deltana magnetic catches hold the door closed magnetically so you don't have to cut in latch hardware, which leaves the door face clean and cuts the install labor. Push to close, pull to open, no strike prep, no bore, no handing to get right. Where you still need a latch is anywhere the opening has to lock or resist force; a magnetic catch keeps a door shut, it doesn't secure it.

The closest cross-brand counterpart is the Trimco 810, a heavy-duty magnetic catch from Trimco's 810 Series. Both are magnetic catches that hold a door closed without latch hardware, so either one suits a cabinet, closet, or passage door where you want a clean face with no visible latch. The Deltana MC326 is a steel catch measuring 3-1/8 inches by 1 inch by 9/16 inch, so if you are swapping one for the other on an existing door, confirm the Trimco 810 body will drop into the mortise or surface footprint the MC326 leaves behind before you order.

No, mounting hardware ships with it. Each MC326 comes packed in an individual poly bag with its mounting hardware, sold one per unit. If you're doing a run of doors, order one per opening; there's no multi-pack bundling to account for.

Steel construction, and Deltana rates the MC326 for commercial use. Steel rather than a plastic-bodied catch is what matters on a door that gets pulled dozens of times a day in an office, a clinic, or a hotel back-of-house. For apartment turns and casework in a managed property it holds up to the same cycling as the rest of the trim.

No handing on the MC326. A magnetic catch and its strike plate mount to opposing faces, so the same part works on a left or right swing and on either an inswing or outswing application. That's one of the practical reasons to spec magnetic catches across a building instead of latches: one part number covers every door in the run.

The Trimco 810 Series heavy-duty magnetic catch is the other magnetic catch on the shelf, and it's the one to look at when the door is heavier or the opening sees hard use. The Deltana MC326 is a steel-bodied catch at 3-1/8 x 1 x 9/16 inches, which suits cabinet doors, closets, and light passage doors. Between the two, size the catch to the weight of the leaf, not the width of the stile.

No. The Deltana MC326 is a magnetic catch, and so is the Trimco 810 from the 810 Series. A magnetic catch holds a door in the closed position and eliminates the need for latch hardware for a cleaner face, but it does not throw a bolt and it does not secure the opening. If the door needs to be locked, resist forced entry, or carry a fire label, a magnetic catch is not the part to specify in place of a latch or lockset. Use a magnetic catch where the only requirement is keeping the door shut, such as cabinet doors, closets, and non-rated passage doors.

Both the Deltana MC326 and the Trimco 810 are commercial-duty magnetic catches, so either can be standardized across a building. The Deltana MC326 is rated for commercial use and is built in steel at 3-1/8 inches by 1 inch by 9/16 inch, which gives you one size to specify on every door. The Trimco 810 is a heavy-duty magnetic catch within the 810 Series, so it comes from a broader family if you expect to spec more than one catch style across the same facility. For a fleet standardization decision, pick on the mounting footprint your doors already carry and stay with one part number from there.
