I need to replace the same type of male THREADED ball catch and spring on my closet door. The male part (pictured) screws into the brass female catch inside the top of the closet door. The treading allows the ball to be adjusted so the closet door closes securely. I'm not sure the one you recommended to Mr. Bowie, MD will work. Any thoughts?

Did you ever find an exact match for the OP ball catch??? I have the same one and need a replacement
I have this exact setup and issue. Did anyone ever find a solution for a replacement male threaded ball catch? Thank you
It was easy to remove the female part and the black plastic housing by pulling up with my finger in the center of the housing. I used pliers to slightly close the opening of the male piece on the end with the notches. I reassembled the latch and the ball was held securely. I place the housing back in first then placed the complete reassembled unit in the door. Works great.
