Guest Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Can't you mount the magnet on the edge/lip/side of the door somehow and just shift back the reed switch a bit to accommodate it for when the door is closed? 66889[/snapback] That's what I said.
Guest paulm34 Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 On the edge of the door its beveled (set at angel)
Guest Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Stick it on there then and see what happens. As i said, peculiar angles still work, it doesn't have to be square on.

Guest paulm34 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 ok i will try that thanks for all your help
Guest paulm34 Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Just one more thing. What is the best way to stick the reed switch to door and frame. As my mate who installs alarms, gave me the reed switch which is meant to be screwed on. But he said just use adhesive tape?
Zak Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 There is no such thing as fitting magnetic contacts with adhesive tape (surely even a cowboy wouldn't/couldn't!!). Get him to give you the 2 screws that come with it - if need be drill a very small pilot hole although that probably won't be necessary.

norman Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 I always pilot the holes with plastic doors and would suggest you do the same as it makes for an easier fit. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
