Can I also use roller catches for heavy doors?
Yes, roller catches can also be used for heavy doors, but their suitability depends greatly on the specific load capacity of the roller catch. Roller catches are available in a wide variety of sizes and materials that can handle different weight limits.
It is important to select the roller catch according to the intended application. The following aspects should be given particular consideration:
- Type of material: Roller catches made from durable materials such as stainless steel or brass are more long-lasting and better suited for heavier doors.
- Size of the catch: Larger roller catches can generally support more weight. The size should be proportional to the door size.
- Design of the catch: Roller catches with a double-catch design offer greater holding force and are therefore recommended for heavy doors.
- Load capacity: Every roller catch has a specified load capacity. Make sure it can support the weight of your door.
A catch that is too small or too weak can cause the door not to close properly or the catch to wear out over time. Therefore, it is advisable to read the product specifications carefully before purchasing and, if necessary, consult a specialist.
