Securitron DPSWBK Door Position Switch Wood Door Black

Product Description

The SECURITRON DPSWBK is a door position switch designed for wood door applications with a black finish. Door position switches signal an access control system or alarm panel when a door is opened or closed, providing real-time status monitoring at the door leaf. The DPSWBK installs directly onto wood door frames and is suited for commercial and light commercial access control installations. Licensed security and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this type of device. At 0.06 pounds, the unit is compact and lightweight, measuring 3.25 inches long by 3 inches wide by 1 inch tall.

The DPSWBK is used in access control and door monitoring applications where a wood door is present. It is typically installed on interior or exterior wood doors in commercial buildings, offices, and institutional facilities. The switch integrates with access control panels, alarm systems, and building management systems to report door open and closed states. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for new installations and retrofit projects where door status monitoring is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of door position switches is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or security technicians. Power down the access control panel or alarm zone before making wiring connections to avoid false alarms or equipment damage. Refer to local building codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for low-voltage wiring requirements. Do not force the switch housing during mounting, as overtightening fasteners into wood frames can crack the substrate or misalign the switch gap.
