Nascom Overhead Door Standard Contact N205AU/ST, Universal Magnet, 3.5" Gap, 24" Armored Cable, Silver Aluminum
Know when the door moves.
A wired, armored magnetic contact for overhead doors. Its 3.5" standard gap tolerates door play, so commercial alarm systems can tell whether a roll-up or sectional door is closed.

Overhead doors rarely sit still.
Roll-up and sectional doors move and shift, so a tight-gap contact can lose the magnet. A wide gap and consistent detection keep the loop reliable.
Built for commercial overhead doors
A wide-gap contact with armored leads and a durable aluminum housing.
3.5" standard gap
A wide gap tolerates the play found on overhead doors.

Standard gap
