Gri GI-E18412WGW Recessed Door Contact Switch White

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. GI-E18412WGW is a recessed door contact switch designed for installation in steel door frames and similar entry points in security and alarm systems. Recessed contacts are embedded flush into the door or frame, providing a concealed magnetic contact that triggers an alarm circuit when the door is opened. This type of component is commonly installed by security system technicians and licensed electricians during new construction or retrofit projects where a clean, tamper-resistant appearance is required.

Recessed door contacts like the GI-E18412WGW are used in residential and commercial security applications where surface-mounted contacts are not suitable. They are typically installed in steel doors and metal door frames common in commercial entry points, utility rooms, and secured access areas. The white finish allows the contact to blend with common door and frame finishes in light-colored installations.

Key Features

• Recessed installation keeps the contact concealed and tamper-resistant
• Designed for steel door and frame applications
• White finish for a clean, low-profile appearance
• Sold individually as a single unit per package

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed security system technician or electrician. De-energize the alarm or access control panel circuit before wiring the contact. A drill and appropriate hole saw are required to bore the recessed cavity in the door and frame. Follow all applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements for the jurisdiction.
