I have windows that sometimes I’d prefer stay open a bit even when I arm the system at night. I’m searching for some extra adhesive backed magnets to place on the window frames where the window could be opened to and still be protected.
I know Surety used to sell them but I no longer see them on the website. A cursory search online doesn’t turn them up either, just a bunch of sensor/magnet sets which would be wasteful to buy and then toss the bits I don’t need.
We do not sell individual magnets at this time, recently I looked for a specific sensor magnet which ended up looking like you could get individually, and the same place may sell others. See that post here:
Thanks Jason, that’s a good start.
J.P.
Another option might be to go with a wired sensor pack and use the magnets that come with the surface contacts. You can get these in packs of 5 or 10 for about $2 per sensor.
Also be sure to leave about 4-6 inches in between the magnet placement. If two magnets are installed one above the other too close together it will mess with the magnetic field quite a bit and make it harder to successfully close the sensor.
@jpk911 try here Qolsys Sensor Magnet (QR0030-840) (lowvoltagesupply.com) I buy parts and pieces from them all the time
Yep, I browsed through there and found something that should work. I ordered a few, the shipping is a bitch but whatever. Can’t find any other place selling what I’m after.
Thanks Jason. Good tip on the sensor placement. I’ll do some testing before permanently affixing the new magnet.
