Bales catch
Sometimes referred to as ball catches, these are perfect for full-size doors as well as smaller cupboard doors. With a spring-loaded ball held within a cylinder, these catches are recessed into the edge of a door and a catch plate is fitted opposite the door.

Roller catch
This catch operates in a similar way to the Bales catch but has a roller in use instead of a ball. This allows for a greater range of adjustments to meet your door’s needs. The roller fitting and sticker plate are recessed into the door and jamb which allows for easy installation.
These door catches are available from places such as RS and are ideal for kitchen cupboards and wardrobe doors which some businesses may benefit from using.
Sprung roller catch
Ideal for internal doors, access doors, cupboards and wardrobes, these door catches are a versatile option that your business can use around the whole building.

Spring-loaded roller catches allow doors to be clicked into place when closing it meaning you and your employees will know when a door is fully shut. This will prevent any doors from being left open when not in use.
All of these catches are great choices to keep your doors shut at all times. This is one of the main ways to keep your business secure from crime and prevent cold air from getting into your business which is imperative to your ongoing success.
