George Risk Industries 180-12WG-G Door Wedge Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 180-12WG-G is a steel door wedge contact designed for use in security and alarm systems. This contact provides reliable detection of door position, signaling open or closed states to a connected alarm or access control panel. Built from steel construction, it is suited for installations where durability and consistent performance are required. The wedge-style form factor allows it to fit flush in applications where standard surface-mount contacts may not be appropriate. Licensed alarm and security technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.

This door contact is typically used in residential and light commercial security installations where steel door frames or non-standard door geometries require a wedge-profile contact. It is well suited for retrofit and new-construction alarm panel wiring projects. The gray finish allows it to blend with common door and frame colors in standard installation environments. It is sold as an individual unit.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability in door-frame applications
• Wedge-style profile designed for flush or recessed contact placement
• Gray finish for discreet installation on standard door frames
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or small-scale installation
• Compatible with standard alarm and access control wiring configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation contact for steel door security and alarm systems requiring a wedge-style magnetic contact.

Installation Notes

Installation of door contacts should be performed by a licensed alarm or low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable local codes. Disconnect and de-energize the alarm panel circuit before wiring or replacing contacts. Ensure the contact and magnet are aligned correctly at the door gap to guarantee reliable open and closed detection. Do not over-tighten mounting hardware, as this may affect contact alignment or damage the housing.
