At KN Crowder, our vision is clear: to be leaders in manufacturing quality entranceway hardware. For architects and designers, specifying door hardware goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about ensuring functionality, durability, and a seamless design experience. Our patented Catch ‘N’ Close sliding door systems are a prime example of how we deliver on that promise, offering superior performance and a luxury experience across a range of applications.
Our Catch ‘N’ Close system is a patented soft-close mechanism, featured in various sliding door systems that bring a sophisticated touch to any project. Whether you're working on residential or commercial designs, our Catch ‘N’ Close sliding door systems offer a smooth, quiet, and reliable solution every time a door opens or closes.
You'll find this system in several of our product lines, including:
This versatility allows architects and designers to specify a high-performance solution that enhances both function and aesthetics.
KN Crowder is proud to be the first to use advanced gas spring technology in our Catch ‘N’ Close systems, creating a door-closing mechanism that is truly top of the line. This system can be installed on both the opening and closing ends of doors weighing up to 300 lbs. or as narrow as 18 inches wide. Rigorously cycle-tested for up to 50,000 cycles, the Catch ‘N’ Close system ensures durability and reliability, eliminating door slamming and safeguarding both the door and its hardware from wear and tear.
Our Catch ‘N’ Close systems are designed to streamline the installation process. The closing devices are discreetly integrated into the track, eliminating the need for additional installation steps. In our Crowder Frame pocket door systems, we’ve introduced a Catch ‘N’ Close slot for doors with a minimum width of 30 inches, allowing for easy device replacement without removing the door, trim, or cutting into the drywall. This thoughtful innovation not only facilitates smooth installation but also ensures effortless maintenance over time.
Every project is unique, which is why KN Crowder offers fully customizable hardware solutions. Whether you need specific finishes to match your design vision or specialized configurations to fit unique spaces, our sliding door systems are tailored to meet your exact specifications. We collaborate closely with architects and designers to ensure that our products not only enhance the design but also deliver lasting quality.
From modern corporate environments to industrial residential projects, our custom finishes and configurations ensure that the hardware perfectly complements your architectural intent.
In addition to our Catch ‘N’ Close sliding door systems, KN Crowder offers a range of commercial-grade door locks and pulls, including barrier-free and ADA compliant sets. By providing high-quality locks and pulls alongside our sliding door hardware, we simplify the specification process, making it easier to create cohesive, high-performance entranceway solutions.
At KN Crowder, we believe that quality hardware is key to the success of any project. The Catch ‘N’ Close sliding door systems exemplify this belief, offering unparalleled performance, luxury, and durability in a variety of applications.
