Sure-Loc BC1 11P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Sure-Loc ball catch rated for commercial door traffic?
No. The Door Guard ball catch is a residential-duty item. For heavy commercial openings in an office or school, specify a commercial-grade catch or a latching device instead.
2) Does the Sure-Loc ball catch come with the strike plate and screws, or do I need to order those separately?
Mounting hardware is included with the Sure-Loc Door Guard ball catch, so nothing extra is needed to hang it beyond a drill for the edge bore.
3) What finishes does the Sure-Loc Door Guard ball catch come in?
Two finishes are orderable: 11P Vintage Bronze and 15 Satin Nickel. Both are part of the Sure-Loc Door Guard line, so the finish matches other Sure-Loc hardware on the same doors.
4) When should I use a ball catch instead of a standard latch on a closet or French door?
A ball catch holds a door closed without a knob or lever, which is why it is the usual choice on double doors, inactive French door leaves, and closet doors fitted with dummy trim. If the door needs to be operated or secured by handle, use a passage or privacy latchset instead. The Sure-Loc Door Guard catch is meant for residential doors of this kind.
5) What are the alternatives if I need a drive-in ball catch rather than this Sure-Loc one?
Drive-in style options include the Delaney Drive-In Ball Catch and the Orca Hardware 70DR Series Drive In Ball Catch, which comes with a radius strike that suits a routed radius-corner mortise. The Emtek 8802 Door Ball Catch is another catch of the same type to consider for decorative trim matching.
6) Is the Sure-Loc ball catch handed, or does one part work on left and right hand doors?
Handing is not a factor. A ball catch mounts in the top or edge of the door with the strike opposite it, and it works the same regardless of swing direction, so one part covers both left and right hand doors.
7) Which ball catch should I use when the strike has to sit on a radiused or rounded edge condition?
The Orca Hardware 70DR Series Drive In Ball Catch is supplied with a radius strike, so it is the one to specify when the strike location calls for a radiused plate. The Sure-Loc Door Guard Ball Catch is a residential-duty ball catch offered in Vintage Bronze and Satin Nickel and ships with its mounting hardware included.
8) I need a ball catch to match Emtek trim on the rest of the doors - is the Sure-Loc Door Guard the right pick?
If the other hardware on the opening is Emtek, the Emtek 8802 Door Ball Catch is the catch from that same line and will follow Emtek's finish naming. The Sure-Loc Door Guard Ball Catch is finish-matched across the Sure-Loc range, offered in Vintage Bronze and Satin Nickel, so it is the better choice when the surrounding hardware is Sure-Loc.
9) Is a ball catch like the Sure-Loc Door Guard the same thing as a roller catch or a magnetic catch?
No. The Sure-Loc Door Guard Ball Catch is a spring-loaded ball catch, the same basic device as the Delaney Drive-In Ball Catch, the Emtek 8802 Door Ball Catch, and the Orca 70DR Series. A ball catch holds an inactive or closet door shut by seating a ball into a strike; roller and magnetic catches use different retention methods and different door prep, so they are not drop-in swaps for one another.
10) Is this a battery or electronic door catch?
No power involved. The Sure-Loc Door Guard ball catch is purely mechanical, a spring-loaded ball in the door edge that holds against a strike, so there is nothing to wire or no batteries to replace.
