Ives CL11 Invisible Cabinet Latch — Push-to-Open, Completely Hidden
The Ives CL11 is a fully concealed cabinet latch designed for installations where no visible hardware is acceptable. Push once to latch; push again and the latch releases and pushes the door open — no pulls, no handles, no exposed strike. At 1-1/4" x 1-7/8" x 7/16", it installs at the top, bottom, or side of the door, either mortised or surface-mounted to the stop. Brass and plastic construction, 13-pound opening force, and ANSI/BHMA A156.9 (B03272) compliance make it a proven choice for commercial cabinetry.

- ANSI/BHMA A156.9, B03272 — commercial-grade certification
