FAQs

What type of doors is this touch catch suitable for?

This touch catch is designed for lighter interior doors such as loft hatches and standard cupboard doors.

Does it require a handle?

No, this is a handle-less design. You operate it by simply pushing the door to open and pushing it to close and latch.

What is included with the product?

The product comes complete with all the necessary fixings for installation.

How do I install it?

Installation involves mounting the latch mechanism to the door and a strike plate to the frame, using the provided fixings. Ensure proper alignment for smooth operation.

What is the main benefit of this touch latch?

The primary benefit is its ability to provide a clean, minimalist, handle-free appearance on doors.

Can this be used on heavy doors?

It is best suited for lighter doors. For very heavy doors, a more robust latching mechanism might be required.

How do I clean the touch catch?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Latch does not engage when door is pushed closed.

Ensure the strike plate is correctly aligned with the latch. Check that the door is closing fully and not obstructed. Adjust the position of the strike plate or latch if necessary.

Door does not pop open when pushed.

Verify that the latch mechanism is securely mounted and functioning freely. Check if there is any binding in the door hinges or if the door is rubbing against the frame. Ensure the strike plate is not too tight against the latch.

Latch feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any debris or obstructions in the latch mechanism. Ensure the door hinges are lubricated and the door is hanging straight. Lightly lubricate the moving parts of the latch if necessary (use a dry lubricant if possible).
