Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our ANSI/BHMA certified heavy duty elbow catch

Is it ANSI/BHMA-certified?

Yes, our heavy duty elbow catch meets ANSI/BHMA A156.9 B33023 Grade 1 standards. This certification ensures the latch has been rigorously tested for durability, security, and performance in commercial applications. The Grade 1 rating is the highest level of certification available for cabinet hardware, guaranteeing reliable operation through thousands of cycles in high-traffic environments.

What is it made out of?

Our heavy duty elbow catch features solid brass construction with a 316 stainless steel spring mechanism. Unlike competitors who use cast aluminum, our brass construction provides superior strength and corrosion resistance. The 316 stainless steel spring ensures consistent tension and long-term reliability, even in demanding commercial environments. The finish is US26D Satin Chrome for a professional appearance.

Does the installation template come with it?

The EC-TEM installation template is available separately and is not included with the elbow catch. This professional-grade template ensures precise installation and proper alignment for optimal performance. The template is reusable and designed for millwork professionals who need consistent, accurate installations across multiple projects. It's particularly valuable for large commercial installations where precision is critical.

Does it come with screws?

Screws are included with the EC-2-26D individually packed model, which comes with both the latch and strike in a polybag with mounting hardware. The EC-1-26D bulk packed model includes the latch and strike components but does not include screws, making it ideal for contractors who prefer to use their own fasteners or have specific screw requirements for their applications.
