   Wink, Some bullet catches are adjustable as to tension. A bit of WD40 dabbed on to the strike plates will make for a smooth 'latching'

   As far as door pull placement goes, I've found that placing them below the center gives it an elegant look. (It takes away the 'boxy' look)

   I once worked with an architect who had all the wall light switches located at doorknob height.

   (Made the room appear taller)

   On sliding doors they not only look neat, but they are low enough to slide the doors without them 'Skittering'   Stein.

   Thanks for taking the time to reply.  If you could only add one furniture design book to your library which one would it be?

   Sorry, Wink, but I'm not 'into' building furniture,(although I have built A child's rocking chair and some headboards and footboards for my bed.

   My 'Forte', is doors and locks, sliders, bifolds, bipassing and swinging.I'm familiar with bullet catches, magnetic catches secret latches and touch latches.Most builders hardware including hinges,locks and security hardware Electric door openers and electronic access control too. If I can help you with any of those topics, just ask. Stein
