Had a chat with a fire inspector that shifted my view on door hold open devices
He was checking a building in Spokane and pointed out a magnetic hold open on a hoistway door that failed during their test last month. He said, 'Your code compliance is only as good as your weakest link, and that link is often the aftermarket accessory.' It made me double check every non factory part on my current job. How often do you guys test those third party hold opens under actual fault conditions?
