Ives CL22 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Ives CL22 ball catch work on an inset cabinet door where the strike comes straight into the front of the catch?
Both approaches work. The CL22 takes the strike into the body from either side or from the front, so it holds whether the door closes past the catch or runs straight into it. That three-way entry also means the catch is non-handed, so a left-swing and a right-swing door take the same part with no change in orientation and you don't have to specify handing when you order.
2) Can the Ives CL22 be surface mounted, or does it have to be mortised into the door?
Either one. The CL22 body can be surface applied or mortised, so a routed pocket has to accept a body measuring 3/4 x 3 x 3/4 inches, and the strike measures 7/16 x 1-3/4 x 7/8 inches. If you are working on thin panel stock or finished millwork you don't want to cut into, surface mounting avoids the rout entirely. Ives publishes a template covering the CL21A and CL22 for marking the hole locations.
3) The door edge is already bored for a drive-in ball catch - what catch fits that prep instead of the Ives CL22?
The Ives CL22 is not a drive-in catch. Its 3/4" x 3" x 3/4" brass body is either surface applied or mortised and fastened with the wood screws packed with it, so it wants a routed pocket or a flat mounting surface rather than a bored edge hole. For a hole already drilled in the door edge, the Delaney Drive-In Ball Catch and the Orca Hardware 70DR Series Drive In Ball Catch are both drive-in bodies that seat into that bore. Choose by the prep in front of you: bored edge goes to the drive-in catches, routed or surface mounting goes to the CL22.
4) Do I need to order a strike plate and screws separately with the Ives CL22 ball catch?
Strike and fasteners both come with it. Each CL22 is packed with wood screws, and the 7/16 x 1-3/4 x 7/8 inch strike plate is part of the catch, so on wood cabinet doors and frames there is nothing else to buy to complete the install.
5) My cabinet doors keep drifting open. Can the holding force on an Ives CL22 ball catch be adjusted?
Spring tension on the CL22 is field adjustable, so you set the holding force after it's hung rather than living with what came out of the box. Two stainless steel balls ride under that spring tension and grip the strike plate. Tighten it up for a door that swings open on its own, back it off for a light panel that a tenant has to yank to open.
6) Does the Ives CL22 meet ANSI/BHMA A156.9 for a millwork hardware spec?
Yes. The CL22 is compliant with ANSI/BHMA A156.9 under product code B13302. A156.9 is BHMA's cabinet hardware standard, so where a casework or millwork submittal calls out A156.9 catches, the CL22 answers it at the residential classification. That's the line to cite on the submittal.
7) Which Ives CL22 finish do I order to match the rest of the cabinet hardware in the building?
Five finishes cover it: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. Each part number carries the older US code alongside the BHMA number, so if your existing schedule is written in US codes, CL22 US3 is 605, US4 is 606, US10 is 612, US26 is 625 and US26D is 626. Match the number your other cabinet hardware was specified under and the catch will read the same across the run.
8) Is the Ives CL22 the right ball catch for a full-size passage door, or is there a catch better sized for that?
The Ives CL22 body measures 3/4" x 3" x 3/4", a compact size aimed at smaller cabinet doors and panels where there is little room in the edge or head. For a full-size passage door, the Emtek 8802 is a door ball catch and is scoped to that application. Both hold by ball pressure against a strike; the difference is the size of the leaf you are asking the catch to hold and the space you have to mount it in.
9) Which ball catch comes with a radius strike, and how does that differ from the Ives CL22 strike?
The Orca Hardware 70DR Series Drive In Ball Catch ships with a radius strike, which suits a rounded strike rout in the jamb or cabinet frame. The Ives CL22 uses a 7/16" x 1-3/4" x 7/8" strike plate, and its distinguishing feature is three-way entry: the strike can enter the body from either side or from the front, so the CL22 covers swinging doors, inset panels, and tight corner conditions where the approach direction is fixed. Match the strike shape to the rout that is already cut, or cut to whichever catch you are specifying.
10) The hardware schedule cites ANSI/BHMA A156.9 for cabinet hardware - which ball catch answers to that?
The Ives CL22 brass ball catch is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.9, B13302 and is classed for residential use, so it is the one to write into a schedule that calls out A156.9 for cabinet and millwork hardware. Alternates in the same hardware family include the Emtek 8802 door ball catch, the Delaney Drive-In Ball Catch, and the Orca Hardware 70DR Series drive-in catch, which differ in mounting style rather than in what they do - all four hold a door closed by ball pressure on a strike.
11) Will an Ives CL22 ball catch hold up in kitchen and bathroom cabinetry?
Brass body with stainless steel balls, which is what you want on interior casework in a kitchen or bath where humidity is the wear factor rather than weather. The finish is the part that shows, and it's available in bright and satin brass, satin bronze, and bright and satin chrome. This is interior hardware, so it isn't a candidate for exterior or wash-down locations.
12) How do you tell an Ives CL22 apart from the other ball catches when ordering by part number?
The Ives CL22 is a brass ball catch, model CL22, with a 3/4" x 3" x 3/4" body, a 7/16" x 1-3/4" x 7/8" strike, and three-way strike entry, ordered by finish suffix - CL22 US3 in 605 bright brass, CL22 US4 in 606 satin brass, CL22 US10 in 612 satin bronze, CL22 US26 in 625 bright chrome, and CL22 US26D in 626 satin chrome. The Delaney Drive-In Ball Catch and the Orca Hardware 70DR Series Drive In Ball Catch are drive-in bodies, the Orca one supplied with a radius strike, and the Emtek 8802 is a door ball catch. Mounting style and strike are what separate the part numbers, so confirm those before releasing the order.
