Edwards 46E Door Contact

Product Description

The EDWARDS 46E is a door contact designed for use in security and alarm signaling systems. Door contacts detect the open or closed position of a door by completing or breaking an electrical circuit when the door moves. The 46E is a compact, low-profile component installed at the door frame and door surface, making it a standard choice for licensed alarm and low-voltage electricians performing security or access control installations. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and suited for both new construction and retrofit applications.

The EDWARDS 46E door contact is typically installed in residential and light commercial settings as part of a broader intrusion detection or access monitoring system. It is mounted at door frames where reliable open or close status reporting is required. Alarm system installers and low-voltage electricians integrate this contact with control panels and monitoring equipment to provide real-time door status. Its compact form factor supports discreet installation on a variety of door types.
