George Risk Industries Inc. 180MC-12-W Door Channel Magnet

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. 180MC-12-W is a door channel magnet contact designed for use in security and access control applications. This magnetic contact set consists of a magnet component that mounts in or alongside a door channel, working in conjunction with a corresponding switch to detect door position. When the door closes, the magnet aligns with the switch to complete or break the circuit, signaling the control panel. Security installers and low-voltage alarm technicians typically handle installation of this type of contact. The white finish allows for a clean, unobtrusive appearance on light-colored door frames and channels.

This contact is suited for residential and light commercial door security installations where a recessed or channel-style mounting is required. The channel magnet configuration makes it appropriate for metal door frames or hollow aluminum extrusion channels where a surface-mount contact would not be practical. It is sold as an individual unit and is part of the S180 series from George Risk Industries, a manufacturer known for security contact components.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation magnet component for S180 series door contact assemblies. Consult the corresponding switch component specifications to confirm pairing before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage security technicians or alarm system installers. De-energize the security panel circuit before wiring or replacing contact components. The magnet must be aligned precisely with the mating switch to ensure reliable actuation. Follow local building codes and the security system manufacturer guidelines for low-voltage wiring and contact placement.
