Don-Jo 1724-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much weight will a Don-Jo 1724 magnetic catch hold?
The 1724 magnetic catch is rated at 14 lbs of holding force. That is enough to keep a light interior door, cabinet door, or closet leaf closed against normal traffic, but it is a catch and not a latch, so it holds a door in position rather than securing it. If you need a door held open or held closed against wind load or heavy use, a magnetic catch at this rating is not the right part.
2) What size is the Don-Jo 1724 magnetic catch, and will it fit a narrow door stop?
Body measures 3-1/8 inches by 1-3/4 inches. Lay that footprint against your stop or frame face before you cut in: on a standard commercial stop you have room, but on a thin residential stop the 1-3/4 inch dimension is the one that runs out first.
3) Do I have to buy a separate strike for the Don-Jo 1724 magnetic catch?
No. Multiple strikes ship in the box with the 1724, so you can match the strike to the door and frame configuration you actually have without a second order line.
4) Does the Don-Jo 1724 magnetic catch meet an ANSI/BHMA standard?
It carries ANSI/BHMA B43161. For a facility spec that calls out a BHMA designation for catches, that is the number to put on the submittal.
5) Can I use the Don-Jo 1724 magnetic catch on a fire rated door?
No. A magnetic catch is a door retention accessory, not a latch, and a fire door assembly has to positive-latch. Use the 1724 on non-rated openings, closets, cabinet and cupboard doors, and pair rated openings with a listed latching device instead.
6) What finishes does the Don-Jo 1724 magnetic catch come in?
Two: 605 polished brass and 626 satin chrome. If the rest of the openings in the building are on satin chrome lever trim, 626 is the match; 605 goes with polished brass lock trim and older bright-brass suites.
7) Is the Don-Jo 1724 magnetic catch solid brass or plated steel?
Brass is the substrate. That matters in damp or coastal work and in healthcare and hospitality interiors where a plated steel catch starts showing corrosion at the strike face after a few seasons.
8) How is a magnetic catch different from a roller catch or a ball catch?
A magnetic catch holds by magnet against a steel strike, so there is no mechanical detent to wear out and no click as the door closes. That makes it the quiet option for offices, exam rooms and libraries. A roller or ball catch gives you an adjustable resistance you can dial up, which is what you want when the door needs a firmer hold than the 14 lbs the 1724 provides.
9) Is the Don-Jo 1724 a commercial magnetic catch or a residential one?
Commercial grade. Don-Jo builds the 1724 for office, education, healthcare, retail, multi-tenant residential, government and warehouse openings, which is why it comes brass-bodied with a BHMA designation rather than as a builder-grade catch.
