danlevine Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hello All,We started testing out the GE Interlogix Door Contacts today. They seem to work great, except on a Metal Door. Does anyone know how to work around this? Pretty much 50% of the doors in NYC are metal...ThanksDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirill Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Is the door 100% steel or MDF sandwiched between steel front and back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.cytexone Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Kirill, the door Dan is referring to is 100% steel, as well as the surrounding areas of the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chambrick Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 How are you mounting the magnet and contact? I've used them successfully on steel doors. We mounted with some double-faced tape in center area and hot glue around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
