Alright guys,
The time has come to start installing the security contacts for the new house. I have chosen to go with the GRI super mini surface mount contacts for all of the windows.
However, I need some input on contacts for the doors. I have 3 different needs for contacts on my exterior doors.
1) The wire is run to the top frame of the door
2) The wire is run to the non-hinge side of the door
3) The wire is run to the hinge side of the door
The reason for the different locations was either due to framing limitations, plumbing boundaries, or some other "blockage".
So what do you guys think would be the best solution for each of those areas? The choices seem to be:
Plunger Type
Roller Ball Type
Surface Mount
Recessed Mount
I would prefer to use the GRI contacts, but if you have found something that works better, let me know!
Thankyou!
