FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Loops Counter Flap Catch?
The product measures 80x38mm.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
This catch is primarily designed for indoor use in residential and commercial furniture. Using it outdoors may accelerate wear due to weather exposure.
Does the catch come with mounting screws?
Hardware requirements may vary based on your mounting surface, so please check your specific packaging for included fasteners.
Can this be used on heavy doors?
The catch is designed for standard cabinets and counter flaps; it is not recommended for heavy doors that require high-load industrial latches.
How do I keep the bronze finish looking new?
Clean it regularly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid abrasive chemicals that can damage the surface coating.
Troubleshooting
The catch does not click or hold the door closed.
Check the alignment of the strike plate and the main catch; the components may need to be adjusted slightly closer or further to ensure proper engagement.
The screws feel loose or the unit is wobbling.
Ensure that you are using appropriately sized screws for your cabinet material and that they are driven flush into the mounting surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard tools, including a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape to ensure the catch and the corresponding strike plate are perfectly aligned. Before permanent fixing, it is recommended to test the closure to ensure the tension is sufficient.
Compatibility: This catch is compatible with most standard wooden cabinets, retail counter displays, and furniture flaps.
Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and functionality, wipe the bronze surface periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may strip the protective finish of the bronze coating. If the mechanism becomes stiff over time, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant can restore smooth operation.
