Push Latch – Catch, Latches & Strikes

How to Use Push Latches

Push latches are simple to install and use, requiring minimal tools. Start by selecting the latch size and style that best suits your cabinet or panel door. Position the latch base on the frame where you plan to install it, ensuring it aligns with the door panel. Secure the latch base with screws or adhesive, as needed, and attach the corresponding catch to the door panel. Once installed, a gentle push on the door panel will engage the latch mechanism, allowing the door to pop open or close with ease. After setup, test the latch to confirm it holds securely and functions smoothly, providing reliable access control.
