ABSTRACT:
An improved rattle-free door catch is provided. The apparatus includes a catch retaining assembly having wall mounting plate with a concave ball-retaining member integral with its front side. The concave ball-retaining member includes a keyhole-shaped slot including a lower vertical portion and an upper open portion. A swivel ball is disposed within the concave ball-retaining member, and a rigid Catch retainer arm is affixed to the swivel ball at one end. At its other end, the rod has a ball cup, which includes an open end, a cylindrical lower interior portion, and a domed-shaped upper interior portion. The catch retaining assembly interacts with a catch assembly, which includes a catch mounting plate, an arcuate catch ball arm disposed from and terminating at one end in the front side of the catch mounting plate, and having a spherical catch ball disposed at another end. The catch ball is sized to fit snugly within the ball cup to create a non rattling fit.
