Protecting Deeply Recessed Doors
APPLICATION
Surface Mount Applications
Five methods are presented here for protecting deeply recessed doors with surface mount contacts. Note that when mounting on steel, a spacer should be used behind the switch, and/or a wide gap switch should be used.
INSTALLATION
Method 1: Magnet with Spacers
Sentrol has a range of spacers available for each contact series. Stack spacers until magnet aligns with switch when the door is in the closed position.
Method 2: Interlogix Switch on Inside of Jamb
This is a desirable mounting technique because no brackets are required. Use only on a door with a reliable stop so that the door cannot swing inward and hit the switch.
Verify that the distance from the inside of door frame to inside of door does not exceed 1" (2.54 cm). If over 1" this application cannot be used - use Methods 4 and 5.
