What Detector Or Device To Put On Automatic Glass Sliding Door

Hi Everyone,

 

We installed a Texecom Premier Wireless system for a client recently (bells only).

 

The challenge we had was that their front door was an automatic glass sliding door.

 

We did try to mount a wireless door contact to it but it always seems to fall off.

 

Does anyone have any better ideas of what we can do to keep this door secured?

 

Thanks!

How did you mount the device, Epoxy based two part glue should do the trick. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003BPX9EK

Hi Adrian,

 

Thanks for the fast reply. Engineer has just used double sided tape for now.

Just spoke to him and I hope to get a photo next but because of the gap between the glass and the rail, it is going to be impossible to make it work.

 

So we are considering just installing another detector in the area (can your detectors be set to "curtain" mode?) or as one of your colleagues suggested - install a beam linked to a wireless device.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks,

J.

Beam linked to contact inputs would be favourite, we do not have any curtain wireless devices at this moment.

Thanks Adrian,

 

Seems like that is the only way.

 

My only issue with a beam is that it can be much more easily by-passed.

Only if the path of detection can be viewed

bin the contact, push to set outside and start entry on detector.

 

bit rough, but glass doors are a twa t.

Who said the Front Sliding Door was the entry route? :whistle:
