PDQ 577626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a PDQ 577 adjustable ball catch do, and when would I use one instead of a latch and strike?
The PDQ 577 is an adjustable ball catch: a spring loaded ball mortised into the top edge of the door that holds into a strike in the frame head. It keeps a door closed by friction only, so there is no latchbolt, no handle action needed, and the door pushes open from either side. Typical use is a closet, wardrobe or dummy-trim door where you want the leaf to stay shut without a working lockset. If the opening needs a positive latch or any security function, a ball catch is the wrong part and you want a roller latch with a strike or a true latchset instead.
2) Can I use a PDQ 577 ball catch on a fire rated door?
No. A ball catch holds by friction and provides no positive latching, so it is not the hardware for a fire rated opening, which needs a latch that keeps the door closed under pressure. In PDQ's general hardware line the item that carries fire-code language is the privacy door latch, which is listed as ADA compliant and meeting NFPA 80 Sections 5.2.4.2 and 5.2.13.3. For a rated closet or corridor door, specify a latching device, not the 577.
3) What does the "adjustable" part of the PDQ 577 ball catch mean for installation?
The tension on the 577 is adjustable, so after mortising it into the door edge you can dial the holding force up or down. That matters on jobs where the door is heavy or the hinges have settled: too light and the leaf drifts open, too heavy and the door is hard to pull. It also lets you equalize a run of closet doors so they all feel the same, which is the reason property managers tend to pick an adjustable catch over a fixed one.
4) What finishes does the PDQ 577 ball catch come in, and how do I order the right one?
Three finishes: 605 bright brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, and 626 satin chrome. The finish code lands on the end of the part number, so you order 577605 for bright brass, 577613E for dark oxidized satin bronze, or 577626 for satin chrome. Satin chrome 626 is the usual choice when the rest of the opening is in satin chrome or brushed nickel trim; 613E reads as a dark oil-rubbed bronze.
5) Does the PDQ 577 ball catch include the strike plate?
The 577 is sold as the adjustable ball catch assembly. PDQ lists its roller latch strikes (T strike, ASA, full lip, angle stop) as separate items in the same general hardware line, so if you need a particular strike style for the frame head, specify it as its own line on the order rather than assuming it ships with the catch.
6) Is a ball catch enough to stop a closet door, or do I still need a door stop?
A ball catch only holds the door closed; it does nothing to limit swing. If the leaf can hit a wall or a fixture, add a stop. PDQ's general hardware line covers wall stops in convex, concave and adhesive-backed bumper styles, floor stops in low dome, high dome, riser and offset, kick down stops in 4 inch and 5 inch lengths, and a 5 inch hinge stop, so you can pick the stop that matches the swing and the finish of the 577.
7) Will the PDQ 577 ball catch work on a pair of closet doors that meet in the middle?
Yes, that is a common application: mortise one catch into the top edge of each leaf with its strike in the frame head, so each door holds independently. Because nothing projects into the opening between the leaves, there is no interference where the doors meet, unlike a latch and strike arrangement that would need an astragal or mullion. Order one 577 per leaf.
8) What is the difference between the PDQ 577 ball catch and a PDQ roller latch?
Both hold a door shut without a lockset, but they sit differently in the opening. The 577 ball catch mortises into the top edge of the door and holds with a spring loaded ball, so it is near invisible when the door is closed. PDQ's roller latches mount in the door edge like a latch and are supplied against a T strike, ASA strike, full lip or angle stop strike, which gives a firmer hold and a more defined closing action on a heavier door. Pick the ball catch for light closet and wardrobe leaves, the roller latch where the door has weight or air pressure working against it.
9) Is the PDQ 577 ball catch rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
It is catalogued by PDQ as a commercial product, part of the general hardware line of stops, holders, latches and door accessories that finish out a commercial opening. So it suits closet and wardrobe doors in offices, schools, hotels and multi-family corridors, not just houses.
10) I need to match a PDQ 577 ball catch to the rest of the door accessories in my building. Will the finishes line up?
They should, within PDQ's standard architectural finish codes. The 577 is offered in 605 bright brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze and 626 satin chrome, and PDQ's other general hardware accessories, stops, holders, hooks and silencers, are offered in sets of the same standard architectural finishes. Note that the exact finish list varies by model, so a stop you want in 613E may not offer it; match on the code, not the description.
