I think I've only ever seen Americans mention the electromagnet-on-a-wall type of device for holding open fire doors.

Are you allowed the type that screw to the door and push a peg into the ground over there? They're meant to let go if they hear the alarm.

@InsertUser Looking at your posts it appears that you’re in/from Belgium? Your neighbors to the north have the electro magnets everywhere in institutional buildings (government, hospitals etc)

Nope. Hence having to use Google translate.

I'm not saying I've never seen the electromagnet version. I've just never seen Americans mention the other option.
