Don-Jo 1714-620 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Don-Jo 1714 ball latch used for on a door?
The 1714 is a ball catch, the spring-loaded ball unit that mortises into the top edge of a door and holds it shut against a strike in the frame. There is no knob, lever, or bolt involved, so it is used on doors that just need to stay closed: closets, bedroom and bathroom doors, utility rooms, and light passage doors. If the door needs to latch with a handle or lock, a ball catch is the wrong part and a tubular latch or bore lock is what you want.
2) Does the Don-Jo 1714 ball latch come with a strike plate, or do I have to buy one separately?
A full lip round corner strike is packed with every 1714, so the door-edge unit and the frame strike ship together. Nothing else is needed to complete the catch itself. The round corner on the strike means it drops into a radius-corner routed frame prep as well as a square mortise you dress out.
3) Is the Don-Jo 1714 ball latch rated for commercial doors?
It is a residential-grade catch, built for interior doors in homes and apartments rather than commercial openings. For multi-family work it holds up fine on unit closet and bathroom doors, but a corridor door, a stairwell door, or anything on a fire-rated opening is outside what this part is built for.
4) What is the Don-Jo 1714 ball latch made of, and will it hold up in a bathroom?
Cast aluminum. That means it will not rust the way a plated steel catch can, which matters on bathroom and utility room doors where humidity is constant. Cast aluminum is also lighter than a solid brass catch, so the spring does the holding rather than the mass of the part.
5) What finishes does the Don-Jo 1714 ball latch come in, and how do I match my existing door hardware?
Five finishes: 605 polished brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, and 620 antique nickel. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so if the knobs already on your doors are marked 619, order the 1714 in 619 and it will match. Most of the catch buries in the door edge, but the strike lip and the ball housing show when the door is open, which is what you are matching.
6) What is the difference between a drive-in ball catch and the Don-Jo 1714?
The 1714 is a mortise-style catch that ships with a full lip round corner strike, so it seats in a routed door edge and the strike screws to the frame. A drive-in catch, like the Delaney Drive-In Ball Catch or the Orca Hardware 70DR Series Drive In Ball Catch With Radius Strike, has a barrel you hammer into a drilled hole instead, which is quicker on new doors where you can bore straight in. Pick drive-in when you are drilling fresh, mortise when you are matching an existing routed prep or want a screwed-on face.
7) What else could I use instead of a Don-Jo 1714 ball catch?
Three other ball catches sit in the same slot. The Emtek 8802 Door Ball Catch is the option to look at when the rest of the door hardware on the job is Emtek and you want the finish families to line up. The Delaney Drive-In Ball Catch and the Orca 70DR Series are drive-in units, so they suit a bored hole rather than a routed mortise. The 1714 is the one that arrives with its strike already in the box.
8) Will a ball catch hold a closet door closed on its own, or do I need a lock too?
A ball catch holds the door shut by spring tension only, so it keeps a closet or bathroom door from drifting open but it does not secure anything. Anyone can pull it open. On a bedroom or bathroom door where privacy is wanted, the 1714 handles the catching and you still need a privacy set or a separate latch for the lock function. On closets and utility doors, the catch alone is usually the whole job.
9) Does the Don-Jo 1714 ball latch have a handing, or does it work on left and right hand doors?
No handing. A ball catch is symmetrical, so the same 1714 works on a left hand or right hand door and on a pair of doors where both leaves need a catch at the head. Order by finish and quantity only.
10) Is the Emtek 8802 door ball catch the same thing as a Don-Jo 1714?
Both are ball catches for door use. The Don-Jo 1714 is a cast aluminum residential ball latch measuring 2-1/4 inches by 1 inch, offered in 605 polished brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, and 620 antique nickel, and each one is packed with a full lip round corner strike. The Emtek 8802 is a door ball catch in Emtek's Ball Catch series. If a job is being specified around Emtek trim, the 8802 is the ball catch within that line; if the requirement is a cast aluminum catch supplied with a full lip round corner strike, that is the 1714.
11) Do I need to buy a strike separately with the Don-Jo 1714, or with the comparable ball catches?
The Don-Jo 1714 is packed with a full lip round corner strike, so the catch and its strike arrive together. Among the comparable ball catches, the Orca Hardware 70DR Series is also supplied with a radius strike. When you are pricing a job by the opening rather than by the piece, those two are the ones that carry their strike with them.
12) Can I buy a single Don-Jo 1714 ball latch or does it come in a bulk pack?
The 1714 is packed in a shelf pack of 20. That suits an apartment turn, a punch list across a floor of units, or a builder stocking a job, since you are almost never replacing one catch on its own. For a single door repair you are buying 19 spares.
