Fitting Contacts To Upvc Door

Featured Replies

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

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??

cheers for any advice.

I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
