Product Description
The DELTANA BC218U15A is a ball catch door hardware component designed to hold a door in the open or closed position without a traditional latch mechanism. The catch uses a spring-loaded ball bearing that seats into a strike, providing light resistance to keep the door in place. At 2.1 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.8 inches in height, this is a compact unit suited for interior doors where a low-profile, unobtrusive hold is needed. The antique nickel finish gives it a classic appearance that coordinates with period-style and transitional hardware sets. Installation is handled by carpenters, finish contractors, and general tradespeople.
The BC218U15A is appropriate for residential interior doors including cabinet doors, closet doors, passage doors, and light commercial interior applications where a full latch is not required. It is sold individually and is well suited for projects that require a clean, hardware-visible installation with a consistent antique nickel finish across the door set.
Key Features
- Spring-loaded ball bearing mechanism holds door without a traditional latch
- Compact profile at 2.1 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.8 inches high

Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball catch for standard interior door applications where a low-profile ball catch is specified.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or general contractor using basic hand tools including a drill and appropriate bit for the mortise or surface-mount application. Ensure the door and frame are square before setting the catch position so the ball seats evenly into the strike. No power shutoff is required for this hardware installation, but confirm the door swing and clearances before final fastening.
