Ives IVE-325-A92 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much space do I need behind the door for an Ives 325 catch?
Plan on a footprint of 1-1/8 x 2-1/16 x 5/8 inches for the catch body. That 5/8 inch figure is the one that decides the install, since it is the depth the case takes up off the mounting surface inside the cabinet or the door jamb. Mounting is surface applied with the sheet metal screws that come in the pack, so there is no mortise or routing to prep.
2) Does the Ives 325 magnetic catch meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial job?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.9, B43171, and Ives lists the 325 as a commercial-grade product. A156.9 is the BHMA standard covering cabinet hardware, so if your spec calls out a BHMA-compliant catch for casework in a school, hospital, or office fit-out, the B43171 designation is what you cite on the submittal.
3) Do I have to buy screws or a strike plate separately for the Ives 325?
No extra hardware to order. The 325 ships with sheet metal screws for mounting, and the strike is part of the catch assembly. Surface mount both halves, then adjust the magnet in its aluminum case so the door pulls up tight against the stop.
4) What finishes does the Ives 325 magnetic catch come in?
Two: 666 bright brass, ordered as 325-A3, and 673 aluminum clear coat, ordered as 325-A92. For a run of casework where the catch sits inside and never shows, the 673 clear coat is the usual pick; the 666 bright brass is there for openings where the hardware is visible and the rest of the suite is brass.
5) What is the difference between a double pole magnetic catch and a single pole one?
A double pole catch puts two magnetic poles into the same contact face, so the pull is concentrated where the strike meets the case instead of leaking around it. That is the configuration on the Ives 325, and it is why the catch gets 5 lbs. out of a body only 1-1/8 x 2-1/16 x 5/8 inches. The other half of the holding power on this one is the self-aligning magnet, which floats slightly so it seats flat against the strike even when the door does not close perfectly square.
6) Does the Ives 325 magnetic catch have a handing?
No handing to specify. The 325 is a surface-mounted magnetic catch with a symmetrical case and a separate strike, so the same part works on a left or right hand door. Order by finish only: 325-A3 for bright brass or 325-A92 for aluminum clear coat.
7) I need to standardize magnetic catches across a building. What is the alternative to the Ives 325?
For casework and light doors, the Ives 325 covers it at 5 lbs. with BHMA A156.9 compliance, which is what most spec writers want on the submittal. Where you have heavier doors in the same building, the Trimco 810 Series is the heavy-duty catch we carry, and running Ives on the casework and Trimco on the heavier openings is a normal split. Standardizing on one finish across both keeps the punch list short.
8) Can I adjust an Ives 325 after it is installed if the door does not pull up tight?
Yes, the magnet adjusts within its aluminum case, so you can dial in the gap after both halves are screwed down rather than pulling the catch and re-drilling. Between that adjustment and the self-aligning magnet face, a door that has settled slightly out of square can usually be brought back to holding without moving the strike.
