Kidde Edwards 1504-AQN5 Magnetic Door Holder Flush Mount

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 1504-AQN5 is a flush-mount magnetic door holder designed for fire alarm and life safety systems. It holds fire-rated corridor doors in the open position during normal building operations and releases them automatically when the fire alarm system activates. The unit operates on dual voltage input, accepting either 24 volts DC or 120 volts AC, which simplifies integration with a wide range of fire alarm control panels and building power configurations. Licensed fire alarm technicians and electrical contractors install this device as part of a compliant door control system in commercial and institutional facilities.

This door holder is suited for flush-mount installation on interior walls adjacent to fire-rated corridor doors in commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential occupancies. It is used in applications where doors must remain open for traffic flow but require automatic closure upon alarm activation. The flush-mount design keeps the unit close to the wall surface, minimizing protrusion into the corridor. It is sold as a single unit.
