alarm contacts

[frhrwa]

I have one set left of alarm contacts for doors and windows.. its the round drill in model.. drill a hole and shove one side in, mount the wired side to the inside framework aligned and wire it up.. can't seem to find them anywhere anymore.. ? any ideas? thanks..

A lot of companies still sell them.

I have a lot of the bi metal 2 piece contacts but I think "Door King" sells alarm systems as well as gate openers.

Also always try "all electronics".

One source would be closet door switches but I think those are mainly plunger types. Might even find one of those in the hardware store.

Another source is interlock switches for industrial equipment.

here are a few magnetic ones. Looks pricy.

You may find other alternatives in the switch section of Digikey or Mouser. I think I saw some optical based sensors in that configuration somewhere too.

A bit on the expensive side here but you get the point.

got my alarm contact/magnets today.. they're perfect, a little small, I didn't read the measurments but looked at the picture, but they will work fine, probably better small anyway..
