Sea-Dog Chrome Brass Elbow Catch - Cabinet Doors
Sea-Dog Chrome Brass Elbow Catch - Cabinet Doors — Product description
The Sea-Dog elbow catch is a simple, dependable way to keep the inactive side of a double cabinet door shut when you're underway. Chrome plated brass, surface mount, and small enough to tuck out of sight. If you've got cabinet doors that swing open in a chop, this is the fix.
If you run a boat with double cabinet doors, you already know the problem. The active door has a latch, but the inactive side just flaps around once the water gets rough. That's what this Sea-Dog elbow catch is for. It mounts on the inside of the inactive door and holds it firm against the frame so the active latch has something solid to close against.
It's made from chrome plated brass, so it holds up to the salt and damp that eat cheaper hardware alive. The surface mount design keeps installation simple. A couple of screws and you're done, no mortising required. At 1-1/8 inches, it tucks neatly behind the door and stays out of your way.
This one ships as a single catch in display packing. Great for galley lockers, head cabinets, nav station storage, anywhere a second door needs to stay put. It's small, it's cheap, and it does exactly one job well. We keep these on the shelf because boaters ask for them all the time.

Frequently asked questions
What is an elbow catch used for?
It holds the inactive side of a double cabinet door closed so the active door's latch has something solid to close against. On a boat, that keeps both doors from swinging open when you hit a wake.
Is this a surface mount catch?
Yes. It surface mounts to the inside of the door with screws, so there's no mortising or cutting into the wood. Installation takes just a few minutes.
What is it made of?
Chrome plated brass. The brass base stands up to the damp and salt you find on boats, and the chrome plating adds another layer of corrosion protection.
How many catches come in the package?
One. This is a single catch in display packing. If you're outfitting several cabinets, order the quantity you need.
What size is it?
It measures 1-1/8 inches in length, small enough to tuck neatly behind the door.
