djandysp Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Had to go to a fault a few years ago, customer had spent a grand on his patio doors, looked amazing. One of the so called install "engineers" had fit surface contacts on the doors not realising that the centre strut was actually a part of one of the doors, needless to say when the company I worked for at the time got the bill for some new doors he didnt last long hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 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. Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawandorder Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I have always managed with normal surface contacts, you fit the contact at the top of the frame but inside the profile so it's hidden when the door is shut. Sometimes there isn't enough room to fit the magnet on the dorr with sufficient clearance so I take it out of the housing and bed it in silicon. You need to use some creative drilling to hide the cables but it's worth it. Incidentally I once fitted an alarm in a house that had Everest doors, these were pre-drilled for standard 20mm flush contacts, all you had to do was remove a couple of blanking plugs. Happy days!

amateurandy Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Everest doors, these were pre-drilled for standard 20mm flush contacts, all you had to do was remove a couple of blanking plugs. Not any more I suspect. My new Everest back door certainly didn't have that, and looking at the locking mechanisms I can't see how they would do it.

whistle Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Elmdene make a nice G2 non sealed, flush and surface contact. 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.

SUBS Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 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.

james.wilson Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 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 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
