1072 series recessed magnetic contacts
recessed flanged magnetic contacts with wire leads
3/8 in. dia.
The 1072 series recessed contacts are designed for applications
where the added integrity of mounting screws is needed. The
contacts work well in both wood and metal frame doors and
windows.
The two mounting holes provide additional strength to prevent the
contact and magnet from becoming dislodged due to environmental
changes. Such changes may occur when the door or window frame
warps and misaligns from moisture or the settling of a building. No. 2
sheet metal screws come with the switch.
A wide gap model is available to protect against false alarms from
loose-fitting doors and windows.
• Recessed installation makes contacts less
visible, more difficult to detect and defeat
• Corrosion resistant, hermetically sealed
switch works well in moist or dusty areas
• Available wider gap distance helps
prevent false alarms caused by loose-
fitting doors and windows
