George Risk Industries Inc. 100-TCWG-W Wide Gap Surface Contact

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. 100-TCWG-W is a wide-gap surface contact designed for door and window security monitoring applications. Supplied with a protective cover and finished in white, this surface contact allows security and low-voltage alarm technicians to reliably detect the open or closed state of doors, windows, and access panels. The wide-gap design accommodates larger separation distances between the contact and its magnet, making it a practical choice where standard-gap contacts fall short. It is sold individually and is a direct-mount unit intended for surface installation.

The 100-TCWG-W is suited for residential and light commercial security system installations. It is typically installed on entry doors, casement windows, and utility access panels where a surface-mount approach is preferred over recessed installation. The white finish blends with standard interior door and window trim. Security alarm installers and low-voltage contractors are the primary trades that work with this contact type.

Key Features

• Wide-gap design accommodates greater separation between contact and magnet than standard contacts
• Protective cover included to shield terminals and wiring connections
• White finish for low-profile appearance on light-colored door and window frames
• Surface-mount construction eliminates the need for recessed drilling
• Sold as an individual unit for single-point replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface contact for use in residential and light commercial door and window alarm circuits where a wide-gap, surface-mount contact with cover is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage security alarm technicians in accordance with local codes and NFPA 731. De-energize the alarm panel or zone circuit before making wiring connections at the contact terminals. The contact and its corresponding magnet should be aligned carefully to ensure consistent actuation across the full operating gap. Verify gap distance against the manufacturer specification before finalizing the mount.
