George Risk Industries 8080-T-W Recessed Door Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 8080-T-W is a recessed steel door contact with a terminal connection, designed for installation in door or window frames as part of a hardwired security or alarm circuit. The contact body is constructed of steel and finished in white, sized at 3/4 inch to fit standard recessed bores. It provides a reliable magnetic contact point that signals an open or closed state to a connected control panel. Licensed alarm installers and low-voltage electricians are the typical trades that specify and install this type of component in residential and commercial security systems.

This recessed contact is suited for interior and exterior door frames in both residential and light commercial applications. The terminal-style connection allows for direct wire attachment without plug-in connectors, making it well-suited for hardwired intrusion detection layouts. The white finish blends with standard door and frame colors for a clean, low-profile appearance once installed.

Key Features

• Recessed steel construction for flush, concealed installation
• Terminal connection style for direct hardwired hookup
• 3/4 inch body diameter fits standard recessed bore applications
• White finish for low-visibility integration with light-colored frames
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed door contact for hardwired security and alarm systems requiring a 3/4 inch recessed magnetic contact with terminal connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage alarm technicians or electricians in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 731 guidelines. De-energize the alarm circuit and confirm the panel is in service mode before wiring the terminal connections. Drill the recessed bore to the specified diameter and depth before seating the contact body to avoid frame damage. Do not overtighten or force the contact into an undersized bore, as this can compromise the magnetic alignment and contact performance.
