Product Information
Full details
The Paulstore Adjustable Roller Catch is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure internal doors that do not require a locking mechanism, such as cupboard doors or passage doors. Its primary benefit is the reliable ball mortice design, which ensures a smooth, consistent closure and easy push-pull operation, though users should note it is not intended for high-security applications or heavy external entrance doors.

FAQs
Can this be used on bathroom doors?
It is generally not recommended for bathroom doors as it does not provide a locking mechanism for privacy.
Is this suitable for heavy doors?
No, this roller catch is designed for lightweight internal doors and cabinets, not heavy exterior or solid oak internal doors.
Does it include the strike plate?
Yes, standard kits include both the roller catch and the corresponding strike plate for the door frame.
Can I paint over the visible part of the catch?
While possible, it is recommended to mask the ball mechanism to prevent paint from interfering with the smooth latching action.
How do I adjust the tension?
Typically, you adjust the tension by rotating the head of the catch or using an adjustment screw located on the face, depending on the specific model variation.
Troubleshooting
The door does not stay closed firmly
Adjust the tension of the ball catch by turning the adjustment screw or increasing the depth of the housing in the mortise.
The ball catch feels stiff or makes noise
Clean away any debris from the ball housing and apply a small amount of dry lubricant to the ball mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, mark the location on the door edge and use a chisel to create a clean mortise that fits the catch body perfectly. Once set, the tension can be adjusted by rotating the internal mechanism or adjusting the depth of the housing. Compatibility is excellent for most standard wooden internal doors. To care for the product, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the ball bearing periodically if you notice increased resistance. Ensure the strike plate remains aligned with the ball for consistent performance.
