Dormakaba EM501-24120-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the DORMA EM501 electromagnetic door holder used for?
The EM501 is a floor-mounted electromagnetic door holder that keeps doors open during normal operation and releases them when the fire alarm activates. It's designed for single door applications in commercial buildings.
2) What door sizes and weights is this holder compatible with?
Verify specific door weight and size limits in the manufacturer specifications. Most electromagnetic door holders handle standard commercial door widths. Check the template for proper positioning relative to your door dimensions.
3) Does this work with both left and right hand doors?
Floor-mounted electromagnetic holders typically work with any door swing direction. The unit mounts to the floor and the door contacts it when opened to the desired position.
4) What finishes are available for the EM501?
Check the product specifications for available finish options. DORMA typically offers standard architectural finishes to match door hardware. Contact us to confirm finish availability for your project.
5) What electrical requirements does this door holder have?
The EM501 requires low voltage power supply connection. It must be wired to the fire alarm system for automatic release. Verify voltage requirements and power consumption in the technical specifications.
6) Does this meet fire code requirements for door holders?
Electromagnetic door holders are designed to comply with fire safety codes when properly installed and connected to fire alarm systems. Verify local code requirements and installation standards with your AHJ.
7) What accessories or parts are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires the floor-mounted holder, door-mounted keeper plate, mounting hardware, and electrical connections. Review the installation template for specific hardware requirements and optional accessories.
8) How is the EM501 installed in the floor?
Floor mounting requires cutting a recess per the template dimensions. The unit sits flush with the finished floor. Follow manufacturer template for proper positioning relative to door swing and hinge location.
9) How do you adjust the holding force and position?
Holding force is typically factory set but may have field adjustments. Position is determined during installation by following the template. Test operation after installation to ensure proper door contact and release function.
10) Are there wall-mounted alternatives to this floor model?
Yes, DORMA offers wall-mounted electromagnetic door holders for applications where floor mounting isn't suitable. Browse our door hardware section for alternative mounting options.
11) Will this work in high-traffic areas?
Floor-mounted holders are designed for durability in commercial applications. The flush mounting protects the unit from foot traffic damage. Consider pedestrian flow patterns when positioning the door hold-open location.
12) What are the key measurements needed before ordering?
Measure door width, thickness, and weight. Note the desired hold-open angle and distance from hinge centerline. Verify floor construction type and depth available for mounting. Use the installation template to confirm fit.
