Overview
GE Electromagnetic Door Holders are ruggedly constructed and
attractively designed. The housings are baked with a durable polyester undercoating and are available in either a chrome or brass
finish.
The floor or wall section houses the electromagnet while the
contact plate attaches to the door. The contact plate has a shock
absorbing nylon (swivel) ball which allows the plate to adjust to any
door angle. Floor units are available in single-door or double-door
(back to back) versions. Wall units are available in flush or surface
mounted versions. GE door holders should be installed wherever
doors may be effectively used to confine smoke and fire, or where
the release of a self-closing door from a remote location is desirable
for other reasons. Always consult your local Authority Having Jurisdiction with any questions regarding a specific application. Fail-safe
operation is an inherent feature of GE Security door holder-releases.
If power fails, doors are released automatically but may be opened
or closed manually at any time. All units are free of moving parts,
are self-contained and require no maintenance.These door holderreleases have a holding force of approximately 15 to 25 Lbf (66 to
111N). The device holds a door open while energized.
When de-energized by a relay controlled by the fire alarm system or
other switch, the door is released to a closed position, checking the
spread of smoke and flames. Electromagnetic door holders should
be used and installed in accordance with local Building Codes and
Standards.
