Don't know about the Skycatch, but the male part of the Hatchlatch is a teflon or nylon knob that they tell you to epoxy onto the stock Cessna door stop which is attached to either the wing (A&B models) or the wing strut (48 model). I didn't trust epoxy alone so I pinned it in place using a piece of safety wire in addition to the epoxy. No,I don't have any basis of approval for that mod, sorry.
I really like the Hatchlatch set-up, the only trouble I've ever had with it was when I let the door get away from me when opening it with a strong tailwind. The door skewered itself on the striker, and I had a hell of a time un-skewering it. My own fault, not the Hatchlatch's.
