About this asset

Wall-mounted electromagnetic door holder Revit family built for life safety coordination, door hardware scheduling, and fire compartmentation. This Revit family represents a standard wall-mounted electromagnetic door holder used in fire and smoke barrier doors. The asset features a clean rectangular housing profile with an integral face magnet catch for holding hinged fire doors open during normal building operations. Its geometric model includes simplified boundary geometry along with symbolic electrical schematic cross lines and a central contact disk in elevation views. The compact casing coordinates neatly against corridor walls behind door swings without clashing with adjoining wall baseboards or electrical rough-in boxes.

The download is a 266 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this family directly into a Revit project to coordinate door hardware sets across architectural and electrical disciplines. Place the element on partition walls behind door leafs, aligning the mounting height with corresponding armature plates on the door stile. Because it maintains a lightweight geometric footprint, it keeps documentation views responsive while populating hardware schedules and fire compartmentation submittals without bloating project file sizes.

Essential for commercial corridors, hospital egress routes, educational facilities, and hospitality developments, this component satisfies life safety and code-required hold-open releases linked to fire alarm panels. Architects, specifiers, and electrical engineers use this model when assembling magnetic door release schedules, cross-corridor smoke door packages, and egress path specifications. It pairs naturally with architectural fire-rated swinging doors, overhead door closers, and wall-mounted electrical junction boxes.
