What it does

  • Print-in-place design, no assembly or supports required
  • Compact size with soft snap action for cabinets, doors, and gates
  • Optimized clip design for reliable hold without excessive force
  • Must print flat on bed to align with layer strength
  • Perfect for DIY projects and custom storage solutions

This Door Retaining Catch is a compact, functional latch designed for cabinets, small doors, and gates. The print-in-place design means it comes off your printer ready to use, no supports, no assembly, just a working latch with a satisfying snap action.

The catch features a refined female clip that delivers reliable retention without being overly stiff, making it easy to open and close repeatedly. Its smaller footprint makes it ideal for lighter-duty applications where a full-size latch would be overkill.

For best results, orient the part flat on your print bed. This ensures the layer lines work with the mechanical stress rather than against it, giving you a durable, long-lasting latch that won't split under use.
