The Kidde 1500-7 is an adjustable catch plate extension rod for Kidde electromagnetic fire door holders. It bridges the gap when the door surface sits 5-1/4" to 7-1/2" from the frame-mounted holder, keeping the catch plate properly aligned without shimming or custom fabrication.
Built for the fire door installer
UL and ULC listed (File #R6291), this extension threads directly into Kidde electromagnetic door holder catch plates. The adjustable length covers a range of recessed and offset door configurations without stocking multiple fixed-length rods.
