Composition: A brass ball catch is mainly composed of a brass body, an internal spring, and a steel ball. The brass body provides durability and a decorative touch, while the spring and steel ball are responsible for its functional mechanism.
Working Principle: The spring inside the catch exerts force on the steel ball. When a corresponding part approaches, the steel ball, under the action of the spring, pops out and snaps into a groove or hole on the mating part, thus holding the two parts in place. When a certain external force is applied, the steel ball overcomes the spring force and retracts, releasing the fixation.
Features
Material Advantages: Made of brass, it has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and strength. This ensures that it can withstand frequent use and has a long service life.
Aesthetic Appeal: Brass has a unique metallic luster, which can present various colors such as gold and bronze. It adds an ornamental touch to furniture and can be well-matched with various home decor styles, enhancing the overall aesthetics.
Convenient to Use: It is easy to operate. When the cabinet door or drawer is closed, the ball automatically snaps into place, and it can be easily opened with a gentle pull.
Applications
Furniture: Commonly used in wardrobe doors, cabinet doors, and drawers to keep them closed and prevent them from opening accidentally. For example, in some high-end furniture brands' product lines, brass ball catches are widely used to improve the quality and user experience of the furniture.
