George Risk Industries 180RS-12-W Recessed Door Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 180RS-12-W is a recessed door contact designed for use in security and alarm systems. This steel-bodied contact mounts flush inside a drilled cavity in a door or door frame, keeping the sensor concealed and protected from tampering. The white finish allows the unit to blend with painted door frames in residential and light commercial installations. It is typically installed by alarm system technicians or licensed electricians working on low-voltage security circuits. The 3/4-inch body diameter and 5/8-inch lead length are the primary dimensional characteristics that determine fitment in a given door or frame application.

This recessed contact is suited for residential and light commercial door monitoring applications where a low-profile, hidden installation is preferred over surface-mount sensors. Common use cases include entry doors, interior doors, and cabinet doors in security panel installations. The steel construction provides durability in door-edge environments where plastic contacts may be subject to mechanical wear over repeated door cycles.

Key Features

• Recessed mounting design keeps contact concealed within door or frame bore
• Steel body construction for durability in high-cycle door applications
• White finish for discreet appearance in painted frame installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation recessed door contact for residential and light commercial security and alarm system applications where a 3/4-inch bore diameter is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed alarm technician or low-voltage electrician. Before installation, de-energize the security panel circuit serving the door zone. A 3/4-inch spade or Forstner bit is generally required to bore the mounting cavity to the correct depth and diameter. Follow all applicable local low-voltage wiring codes and the alarm panel manufacturer guidelines when wiring and terminating the contact leads.
