fluush can work, the ready cables 3/8 th round or the small ali type. if you can remove the skirting installing to the lower leading edge etc, various ways to fit a contact on uPVC doors, the slim surface type contact often allow the magnet to sit happily in the profile, or remove the casing and use a suitable coloured sealant after hot melt glue to secure the magnet, options depend in frame construction and cable route after that.

My door has a filler panel, so thats the cable route sorted as i have ti remove the existing door ready fir them (keeping old timber door for the wife's mothers - coffin )

Getting cables to the door isn't the issue. Did a job a few weeks ago and was made aware that any drilling of the door would void the warranty on the door.

Not ire how true that was but sounded like its a get out clause for the door guys

its simple enough to put concealed in upvc,

however risk v reward means we don't do it for subscribers very often

last one I recall is patio contacts within the grove of the door, cable passing though the frame into 18x9 mini trunk & soldered rather than jb.

Anglia and Everest are likely to moan, Everest claim to use a gas in the sealed sections, but this is my door.

i stipulate the client seeks advice from door installer regarding drilling them, not being into DS tape or velcro (yup seen that too), they are leftto decide between security or door design considerations.
