George Risk Industries 20RS-12XWG-W Recessed Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 20RS-12XWG-W is a recessed contact switch designed for security and access-control applications. Recessed contacts mount flush into door frames or window frames, concealing the sensing element from view while maintaining reliable circuit continuity. When the door or window opens, the magnetic field breaks and triggers the connected alarm or control panel. Licensed security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trade professionals who specify and install this device.

This recessed contact is suited for residential and light commercial security installations where a clean, concealed appearance is required. It is appropriate for wood-frame doors and windows, which aligns with the XWG designation in the part number. The white finish blends with standard interior trim and painted frames common in residential new construction and retrofit security work.

Key Features

• Recessed mount keeps the contact hidden within the door or window frame
• White finish for clean integration with standard interior trim
• Extra-wide gap design indicated by XWG designation for greater installation flexibility
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed contact for low-voltage security and access-control systems installed in wood-frame doors and windows.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or alarm technicians in accordance with local security codes and NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control circuits. Drill the mounting hole to the diameter specified on the product documentation to ensure proper fit and magnetic alignment. Disconnect or power down the alarm control panel before wiring the contact leads to avoid false triggers or equipment damage. Verify magnetic gap tolerance after installation to confirm reliable switching operation.
