George Risk Industries 2020-12-B Recessed Door Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 2020-12-B is a recessed door contact designed for use in security and alarm systems. This normally closed magnetic contact fits into a 3/8 inch diameter bore hole and comes pre-wired with 12 inch leads in brown insulation, making it ready for direct connection to alarm control panels or zone wiring. The recessed design keeps the contact concealed within the door frame or door edge for a clean, tamper-resistant installation. Electricians and alarm technicians install this type of contact on entry doors, windows, and access panels in both residential and light commercial applications.

The 2020-12-B is suited for perimeter protection applications where an unobtrusive, flush-mounted contact is required. The brown lead insulation blends with wood door frames and cabinetry commonly found in residential settings. The 12 inch leads provide adequate service length for routing wire through the door frame cavity or raceway to the nearest junction point. This contact is typically installed in hinged door or window applications as part of a hardwired security or access control system.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch diameter body fits standard recessed bore holes in door frames and doors
• 12 inch pre-attached leads eliminate field splicing at the contact body
• Brown insulation for discreet installation in wood or similarly toned frames

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation recessed magnetic door contact compatible with standard hardwired security and alarm panel zone inputs requiring a normally closed contact loop.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or alarm systems technician. Drill a 3/8 inch diameter bore hole to the required depth in the door frame or door edge before inserting the contact body. De-energize the alarm panel or disconnect the zone circuit before making wire connections. Secure lead wiring in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements and local authority having jurisdiction guidelines.
