Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The National Hardware 5.51 in. H x 3.46 in. W x.98 in. D Drive-In Ball Catch in Black offers a discreet, reliable closing solution for interior doors. Built from durable metal and finished in classic black, it blends seamlessly with most decors while delivering dependable operation day after day.

  • Drive-in installation: Quick, tool-light setup that drives the unit into the door edge for a clean, low-profile look.
  • Ball catch mechanism: Provides dependable tension to hold a door closed, with smooth reopening when you need to pass through.
  • Material and finish: Solid metal construction paired with a versatile black finish that complements a wide range of hardware styles.
  • Dimensions: 5.51 inches (H) x 3.46 inches (W) x 0.98 inches (D) to fit standard interior door applications.
  • Package details: Hardware included, 1 piece per bagged package for simple ordering and replacement.
  • Catch type: Ball catch designed for lightweight interior doors and closet applications.

Ideal uses: Perfect for interior doors in bedrooms, hallways, home offices, and closets where a clean, unobtrusive closure is desired. Ideal for lightweight doors that benefit from a reliable, simple-to-use closing mechanism without bulky hardware on the face of the door.

Installation tips: Install the drive-in ball catch into a prepared bore in the door edge. Use the included hardware to secure the unit, then align the strike area on the jamb so the door closes smoothly and the ball engages properly. After installation, test several opening/closing cycles and adjust alignment if needed to ensure a consistent hold without sticking.
