Rixson 996XK 689 Electromagnetic Door Holder

The Rixson 996XK 689 Electromagnetic Door Holder is a 1-1/2" wall extension/conversion kit (finish 689, sprayed aluminum) that accompanies Norton Rixson electromagnetic door holders and releases. This extension provides a precise 1-1/2" increase in mounting reach, enabling surface-mounted installations or conversions to alternate mounting configurations without altering the door actuation. Manufactured by Norton Rixson (ASSA ABLOY Accessories and Door Controls Group), the kit is designed to fit with the company’s electromagnetic door holder systems for reliable hold-open and release operation. The 689 sprayed aluminum finish offers a durable, low-profile appearance suitable for commercial environments and blends with standard architectural metalwork. Use cases include retrofitting existing holders where the original mounting location is obstructed or when adjusting mounting spacing to accommodate wall thickness, trim, or door-gap conditions, ensuring proper alignment with the door and strike.
