Sea-Dog Brass Stud Catch, #4 FH Fastener, 1-11/16 Inch - 222841-1

The Sea-Dog Brass Stud Catch (222841-1) is a door and panel catch built for applications that require repeated disengagement, such as cabinet doors, hatches, and compartment panels aboard a boat or RV. Unlike catches that rely on direct contact between the stud and panel surfaces, this design keeps the stud and panel separated, which prevents the wear and surface damage that comes from repeated opening and closing.

Holding strength is adjustable thanks to a stainless steel, spring-loaded ball built into the catch, so the tension can be set to match the size and weight of the door it is holding. The strike plate is also flexible in how it is installed, since it can accept entry from the front or from either side, giving installers latitude in mounting orientation.

This catch is constructed of sand cast brass and is sized to accept a #4 FH (flat head) fastener; fasteners are not included and must be purchased separately. It installs with four FH fasteners total. The catch measures 1-11/16 inches by 5/16 inch by 3/8 inch and weighs 0.074 pounds.
