George Risk Industries 180-12-W Recessed Door Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 180-12-W is a recessed door contact designed for use in security and alarm systems. This steel-bodied sensor fits into a 3/4-inch diameter bore drilled into a door or door frame, keeping the contact hidden from view when the door is closed. The white finish allows it to blend with painted wood or hollow-core door applications. Electrically, it operates as a standard normally closed or normally open magnetic contact used to detect door position. Security installers and low-voltage alarm technicians are the primary trades working with this component.

This recessed contact is suited for residential and light commercial security installations where a clean, concealed appearance is required. It is typically installed in hinged doors where surface-mount contacts are not acceptable due to aesthetic requirements or door clearance constraints. The 1/2-inch lead length accommodates standard wiring runs within door frames. Each unit is sold individually.

Key Features

• Recessed installation hides the contact within the door or frame bore
• 3/4-inch diameter body fits standard recessed bore applications
• Steel construction provides durable housing for the sensor

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed door contact for residential and light commercial security and alarm panel systems requiring a 3/4-inch recessed magnetic contact.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage security technicians or electricians familiar with alarm system wiring. Power down or disarm the alarm panel before making any wiring connections. A 3/4-inch spade or Forstner bit is required to bore the mounting hole to the correct diameter and depth. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the panel manufacturer guidelines when terminating the leads.
