Fitting Contacts To Upvc Door

[Paul P]

CQR make one just like the Grade 1 suface contact but its grade 2 it has a small tamper switch instead of one of the spare terminals.

Seen it at ifsec this year and looked good for domestics.

Nothing on there website, do you have a part number?

Is there any real reason you cant fit a surface contact at the bottom ?

I dont really do much Intruder, so I'm not familiar with regs, but my neighbour fitted his own that way and its a lot less noticeable, easier to hide the cable as well.

maybe but be careful with surface contacts at the bottom, they rarely stay where intended for long, also the glass part wont liked being hit with the hoover

[Guest anguscanplay]

hundreds, nay thousands of them i`ve fitted at the bottom of doors it makes no difference in the real world (unless like RB your always hoovering your door LOL)

[daiashthomas]

[Guest anguscanplay]

[alarmman62]

honestly stay away from new doors eeeeek headaches when it comes to warranties find out from the door or window manufacturers if ther is anything that can be done as one guy i know had some holes drilled for contacts to be fitted pre install

knights plastics do em, yend 21.

I have been fitting CQR FC505 to PVC doors for years, we dont now due to grading. Infact we dont bother with doors on domestics as there is still not a good grade 2 contact we can find that is not poted.

No way, is this allowed now.

Years ago if i couldnt get to the door or it was a decent one, id use a pir to start timer.

Then i was told i couldnt use a pir or electronic device to start timer, is this true??

for any advice.
