HOMOTEK 2 Pack Commercial Heavy Duty Door Roller Catch, Drive in Ball Catch with Strike Plate Solid Zinc Adjustable Silent Door Latch, Spring Tension Roller, Black

WORKS GREAT

Perfect match for replacing my 30-year-old brass roller latches for my front door. There were more expensive roller latches that I could have purchased, but these were well constructed and worked great.

This is a great deal. For what you get, it's a fantastic price. The spring is strong and works well. The installation is fast and easy, as long as you have tools to cut out the recessed area, like a drill, hammer and chisel. They mount very securely and work as intended. Operation is pretty easy; with a smaller door it might take a little more umph to get it to work but on a heavy-duty door it works just fine.

As the title says, it's difficult to evaluate this product. Construction is extremely rugged; I have no doubt that it will be a durable, high quality product. It would be well suited for heavy commercial doors that get a lot of use, like hospital rooms, etc.But...I ordered these for a pair of interior doors (large pantry) without really thinking about the design. Most catches that serve this function are 'ball' type catches. You screw the striker to the frame (just like this one) and you drill a ~3/4" hole in the door to mount the ball/spring cylinder. With this one, it requires a fairly large, rectangular hole in the edge of the door. This is fine with solid wood or metal-clad commercial doors, but with the 1 3/8" thick, hollow core interior doors that are so common these days, it's going to significantly affect the strength of the door. And it's also going to be a major job to cut that rather large rectangular hole in the door, with typical homeowner tools. (I'm much better equipped than most, and I'm still not looking forward to it.)So...if marketed as a purely commercial product, 5 stars. If marketed to diy homeowners, I'd have to say one, purely on the installation difficulty plus the structural issues in a residential door.

This is a great roller catch. I’ve installed it on a steel commercial door that was being pushed open from wind gusts. This roller catch installed fairly easily and holds the door in place without any issues. It’s great.I wholeheartedly recommend this catch hardware. It is excellent!!

This catch is quite strong - perhaps overkill for normal situations. Installation isn't as easy as a regular bullet catch, but it's quite a bit more robust.

Seems like they sourced good parts for these they are great and easy to install.
