2) What door types and weights is this magnet compatible with?
Works with steel doors, wood doors with steel plates, and aluminum doors. Check door weight capacity in manufacturer specifications. Verify door material contains ferrous metal for magnetic attraction. Non-ferrous doors require steel strike plates.

Verify voltage and amperage requirements in product documentation. Most commercial door magnets operate on 12V or 24V DC systems. Connect to fire alarm panel or access control system. Consult electrical specifications before wiring.

Clean magnet face regularly to remove debris and metal particles. Test release function monthly with fire alarm system. Check mounting screws for tightness. Inspect wiring connections annually. Replace unit if holding strength decreases significantly.
