Who Burstcatch is for

  • Pubs, clubs and restaurants

    Built for high-traffic washrooms. Burstcatch is the standard fitting across JD Wetherspoon pubs, so cubicles stay in use and you stop paying for repair call-outs.

    Pubs, clubs & restaurants → 

  • Schools, hospitals and care homes

    Staff can get into a cubicle quickly in an emergency without damaging the door or lock, so the toilet stays in use for everyone else.

Upgrade your existing hardware in minutes

Simple, one-time installation. Once Burstcatch is fitted, forced entry won't damage your cubicle lock again.

Burstcatch® is a one-time replacement for your standard toilet catch, and your original lock stays in place. The catch only releases under heavy force, so the door opens without structural damage. Its spring-loaded mechanism then resets on its own, ready for normal use.

Depending on use, a single Burstcatch can save up to five times its purchase price in the first year. A typical engineer call-out costs £60 or more.
