Kidde Edwards 1505-AQN5 Flush Mount Magnetic Door Holder

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 1505-AQN5 is a flush mount magnetic door holder designed for fire and life safety applications operating on 24 volts AC or DC. The unit holds open fire-rated corridor doors during normal building operation and releases them automatically when the fire alarm system activates, allowing the doors to close and contain smoke and fire spread. It mounts flush to the wall for a clean, low-profile installation. Fire alarm technicians and life safety contractors install this type of device as part of a code-compliant door control system in commercial buildings.

This door holder is suited for use in commercial and institutional occupancies where fire-rated door assemblies are required to remain open during normal operations but must close on alarm. Typical installations include corridors, stairwells, and egress pathways in hospitals, schools, offices, and similar facilities. The device connects to a 24-volt fire alarm control panel circuit, releasing the held door upon signal from the panel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 80, and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel circuit before wiring the device. Verify door alignment and holding force after installation to confirm proper operation. Do not install on non-rated door assemblies where fire-rated separation is required by code.
