When my house was wired, I had the electrician put wires and drill holes for 3/4" roller plunger contacts for a few of the doors. I'm not sure what he was thinking, but on 2 of the doors, he DID NOT put the hole on the hinge side, and on one door he put the hole in the TOP of the door frame! I really don't want these contact switches rubbing the door everytime we open and close it. It seems like they'll ruin the wood if I do that. So, I'm looking for an alternative.
I found some 3/4" recesses magnetic contacts that could work, but they say "steel door" set on them. What exactly does that mean? Based on the photos, these look like they'll work, and the holes are 3/4". The steel door part is what I didn't understand.
If this isn't the right thing, what are my alternatives?
Thanks,
Stacy
