## Catch 'N' Close® — Patented Soft-Close Technology

Catch 'N' Close is KN Crowder's patented gas spring technology that allows smooth,
controlled soft-closing and soft-opening of sliding doors. The door automatically
slows and closes itself for the final few inches as it travels to the open or closed
position — without any user assistance.

- **Cycle Tested:** 50,000 cycles without fail
- **Door Capacity:** Up to 300 lbs per door; minimum 18 inches wide
- **Safety:** Eliminates accidental door closure on users' fingers — ideal for
  facilities serving children, the elderly, and individuals requiring additional care
- **Silent Operation:** Eliminates slamming and bouncing; suitable for condominiums,
  hotels, hospitals, offices, conference rooms, long-term care facilities, bedrooms,
  and bathrooms
- **Ease of Use:** Door gently glides to fully open or closed position without
  user assistance
- **Technology:** KN Crowder is the first to apply gas spring technology to sliding
  door soft-close systems
- **Maintenance:** The Catch 'N' Close Slot in Crowder Frame pocket door systems
  allows device replacement without removing trim, the door, or cutting into drywall
  (applies to pocket door systems with a minimum door width of 30 inches)
- **Installation:** Closing devices are discreetly integrated into the track —
  no extra installation steps required
