Can the Easy Fit Door Contact be used in a sash window? How would it be installed?
Helena, London
The door contacts can be fitted to this type of window providing they can be installed so that both elements are in contact so that if the magnetic field is broken the alarm triggers.
In the installation instructions it says that the magnet should be on the door and the sensor on the frame. We don’t have room on the frame to fit the sensor, we would have to do it the other way around. Will this matter?
Tierney, Sheffield
As long as both are flush when the door is closed you can have the sensor or magnet on either the door or frame.
Are these suitable for use in slightly humid conditions, eg bathrooms?
Iain, Bristol
Yes, the Easy Fit Door Contacts are suitable for bathroom use and can withstand slight humid conditions. However I would always make sure that the bathroom is well ventilated.
