George Risk Industries M-180WG-W Magnetic Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries M-180WG-W is a magnetic-only contact designed for window guard applications. It provides the magnet component used in a two-part magnetic contact set, where the magnet pairs with a separate reed switch to complete an alarm or security circuit. When the magnet moves out of proximity to the switch, the circuit state changes, triggering the connected detection system. Finished in white, the M-180WG-W blends with standard window frame installations. Licensed security technicians and low-voltage alarm installers are the typical trade professionals who specify and install this component.

This part is suited for residential and light commercial window guard security installations. It is used in scenarios where a standalone replacement magnet is needed — either because the original magnet was lost, damaged, or mismatched with an upgraded switch assembly. The white finish is appropriate for painted wood or vinyl window frames common in residential construction. It is sold individually as a single unit, making it easy to source as a replacement without purchasing a full contact set.

Key Features

• Magnet-only component — compatible with corresponding reed switch contacts in two-part magnetic contact assemblies
• White finish for low-visibility mounting on white window frames and guards
• Designed for window guard mounting geometry
• Sold as an individual unit for targeted replacement use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement magnet for window guard magnetic contact assemblies requiring a separate magnet component in low-voltage security and alarm systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage security or alarm technicians in accordance with applicable local codes. De-energize the alarm circuit and place the system in test mode before replacing any contact or magnet component. Align the magnet within the manufacturer-specified gap distance of the reed switch to ensure reliable circuit actuation. Do not mount the magnet with ferrous fasteners that could interfere with the magnetic field.
