Builder drilled 3/4" Hole - I have 3/8" sensor...now what?

[dxp178]

OK guys and gals....I have a question for you.

This evening I went ahead and unboxed my wired contact sensors for each of my doors. I see that my builder put in a 3/4" stopper to hold the wires in the frame of the door. I see my sensors are only 3/8" wide....what can I do?

A. Send back my sensors and get 3/4" sensors....

B. Is there a white rubber stopper or grommet which I can put in the hole to hold my sensor?

"A" would probably be the easiest to remedy without worrying about them popping out randomly.

B. You could try to use a 3/4" wooden dowel and drill the center and maybe be able to use the 3/8" contacts.

You can use the 3/8 to 3/4 adapters, but if it were me, I'd get the 3/4 sensors. The adapters do not look as nice, plus they cause the sensor to protrude a small but noticable amount, sometime enough to cause interference with the door.

Switch to the 3/4 sensors. You will be happier.
