Trimco TRI-802.626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between the Trimco 802 and the 804 cabinet catch?
Size is the difference. Both are 3-way detent catches with a machine finish; the 802 measures 3/8 x 1-5/16 inches and the 804 measures 1/2 x 2-3/4 inches. Pick the 804 where you want more engagement surface on a larger or heavier cabinet door, the 802 where the frame or stile is tight.
2) Should I use a 3-way detent catch or a magnetic catch on cabinet doors?
A 3-way detent catch, like the Trimco 802 and 804, grips mechanically and holds the door in position from three directions, which suits doors that get pulled on hard in commercial casework. A magnetic catch such as the Trimco 810 holds by magnet instead; that one is zinc plated steel with dual triple poles for added holding power. Detent catches give you positive feel and tolerance for some misalignment; magnetics are quieter and have no moving parts to wear.
3) Will an Emtek 2270 fit the same cabinet prep as a Trimco 804 catch?
Plan on a different prep. The Trimco 804 is a 1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch 3-way catch and the 802 is 3/8 inch by 1-5/16 inch, both narrow bodies. The Emtek 2270 is 2 inch by 2-1/4 inch, so it is wider and shorter than the 804 and will not drop into the same mortise or screw pattern. If you are replacing catches across an existing run of casework, staying with the matching Trimco 802 or 804 size keeps the existing prep usable.
4) What finishes do the Trimco 800 Series 3-way cabinet catches come in?
Two: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Both are offered on the 802 and on the 804, so you can match either size to the pulls and hinges already on the casework. If the cabinet hardware in the space is satin chrome lever and pull stock, 626 keeps it consistent.
5) Are the Trimco 802 and 804 cabinet catches made of brass or steel?
Brass, with a machine finish. The 801/802/803/804 3-way catches are all brass; only the 810 magnetic catch in the same family is zinc plated steel. Brass matters where cabinets sit in humid areas such as kitchens, locker rooms, or coastal hospitality buildings.
6) I need to standardize cabinet catches across a building. What else could I use besides the Trimco 802?
Within Trimco, the 801, 802, 803 and 804 are all 3-way brass detent catches, so you can run one style at different sizes across a facility and keep the same look and feel. If you want a larger brass latch from another maker, the Emtek 2270 brass cabinet latch measures 2 x 2-1/4 inches. For doors where a mechanical catch is the wrong answer, Trimco's 810 magnetic catch is the alternative in the same series.
7) What is the difference between the Trimco 802 and 804 cabinet catches and the Emtek 2270 brass cabinet latch?
Both are brass cabinet hardware, but they work differently. The Trimco 802 and 804 are 3-way detent catches in a machine finish, sized 3/8 inch by 1-5/16 inch for the 802 and 1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch for the 804, and they hold the door closed by spring detent from three directions. The Emtek 2270 is a brass cabinet latch measuring 2 inch by 2-1/4 inch, a larger footprint than either Trimco catch. Choose the Trimco 802 or 804 when you want a small concealed catch behind the door face; choose the 2270 when you want a larger latch body.
8) I need a decorative finished cabinet latch, not a machine finish catch. What should I use instead of the Trimco 802?
The Trimco 802 and 804 are 3-way detent catches supplied in a machine finish and offered in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome, and they mount concealed where the finish is not on display. If you want a cabinet latch that is a visible brass piece, the Emtek 2270 brass cabinet latch at 2 inch by 2-1/4 inch is the alternative in the same cabinet hardware family.
9) Are these Trimco catches meant for commercial casework or residential cabinets?
Commercial. Trimco lists the 800 Series catches for commercial and industrial buildings, government and military facilities, hospitality, multifamily and mixed-use, and office buildings. They work fine in a residential cabinet, but they are specified and built for institutional casework duty.
10) Is there a mounting template for the Trimco 802 and 804 cabinet catches?
Yes. Trimco publishes a template drawing for the 802-804 cabinet catches, which is what you want in hand before boring the cabinet frame and the door for the strike. Use the size for the model you ordered: 3/8 x 1-5/16 inches on the 802, 1/2 x 2-3/4 inches on the 804.
