hey everybody I'm Ethan James with the

honest carpenter comm in this video I'm

gonna give you some important tips about

ball catch latches these things you see

on top of closet doors and some interior

double doors

the reason these ball catches exists is

because most double doors don't have

anything to latch on to exterior double

doors or French doors have this thing

called an astragal it's a t-shaped piece

that lets the doors overlap each other

this way one door can lock into the top

jamb and the threshold below then the

other door can hit the a through like a

stop and the rest more or less secure

but closet doors don't have an astragal

they have a gap between them so you need

something else to keep them closed and

what the hardware industry has come up

with is these ball catches the ball
