George Risk Industries E19512WGW Recessed Door Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries E19512WGW is a recessed door contact designed for use in security and alarm systems. This type of magnetic contact mounts flush within a door or door frame, keeping the sensing hardware concealed from view while maintaining reliable circuit continuity detection. When the door opens and the magnet separates from the switch body, the circuit state changes, triggering the connected alarm or access control panel. Security system installers and low-voltage electricians are the primary trades that specify and install this device.

Recessed door contacts like the E19512WGW are commonly used in residential and light commercial security installations where aesthetics and tamper resistance are priorities. The concealed mounting style suits wood and hollow-metal door frames. This unit is sold individually and is suited for new installations or single-point replacements in existing security or access control systems.

Key Features

• Recessed mounting design keeps contact hardware concealed within the door or frame
• Magnetic reed switch operation provides reliable open and closed circuit detection
• Individually packaged for single-unit replacement or new installation use
• Compact form factor compatible with standard recessed contact boring dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style recessed door contact for use in residential and light commercial security and access control systems requiring a concealed magnetic switch solution.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or certified security system technician. Power down or disarm the connected alarm panel before wiring the contact leads to avoid false triggers or panel faults. A drill and appropriately sized boring bit are required to create the recess in the door and frame. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the alarm panel manufacturer wiring guidelines during installation.
