    Upgrade Your Cabinet Security with the Ives 2" Elbow Cabinet Catch

    Posted by Will on Jan 26th 2024

    Just wanted to share my thoughts on the Ives 2" Elbow Cabinet Catch. I really like how sturdy and reliable it is, keeping my cabinet doors securely closed. Installation was a breeze too, no need for any fancy tools. However, the catch mechanism can sometimes be a bit stiff, requiring a firm push to open the door. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for keeping your cabinets organized and secure.

    IVES 2" Elbow Cabinet Catch

    Posted by Walter on Dec 12th 2023

    The IVES Elbow Cabinet Catch has a simple, yet effective design that securely keeps cabinet doors closed—a definite plus. However, I noticed that the screws provided were a bit short, which could be inconvenient for thicker cabinets. Despite that, once properly installed, it works like a charm.
