George Risk Industries 4460A Surface Mount Mini Aluminum Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 4460A is a single-gap, surface-mount mini aluminum contact designed for security and access control applications. This compact magnetic contact mounts directly to the surface of a door, window, or frame without requiring a routed channel or mortise cut. The aluminum construction keeps the unit lightweight while providing durability in typical low-voltage alarm circuit installations. Electricians and security system technicians install this type of contact as part of perimeter detection loops in both residential and light commercial systems.

The 4460A is suited for surface-mount installations where a flush or recessed contact is not practical or preferred. Its mini form factor makes it a common choice on narrower door or window frames where a standard-size contact would not fit cleanly. The single-gap configuration is appropriate for standard normally-open or normally-closed alarm circuit wiring in perimeter security loops.

Key Features

• Single-gap design for straightforward perimeter alarm circuit integration
• Surface-mount installation eliminates the need for routing or mortising
• Mini aluminum housing — compact profile for narrow frames and tight spaces
• Aluminum construction provides lightweight durability
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount magnetic contact for use in residential and light commercial perimeter security and access control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified security system technician. De-energize the alarm control panel circuit before wiring the contact. Secure the contact body and magnet to opposing surfaces — frame and door or sash — so that the gap alignment meets the manufacturer's actuation specification. Follow applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines when routing and terminating leads.
