Door Contacts

Magnetic switches that signal when a protected door or gate opens.

Door Contacts

Door contacts are the simplest sensors: a magnet and a switch that alert the alarm panel when a door opens. They can be surface-mounted, concealed or heavy-duty for roller shutters and metal doors. They are suited to every entry point on a premises.

What we do

  • Selection of contact type for each door (surface, recessed, roller shutter)
  • Installation and alignment of magnets and switches
  • Wiring or wireless transmitter fitting
  • Connection and programming at the panel
  • Open/close testing
  • Door labelling and handover

What we need from you to quote

  • Number of doors and gates to be monitored
  • Door material and type (wood, metal, roller shutter, glass)
  • Whether wiring can be concealed or surface-mounted
  • Alarm panel make and available zones
  • Wired or wireless preference
  • Any doors that are frequently left open
