Doors shift. Alarms shouldn't false.

Shifting or warping doors can cause false alarms when the magnet and switch drift apart. A wide gap gives the door room to move.
Built for quicker door installs
The N78G/STSD pairs a recessed switch and magnet with pre-attached leads for residential and commercial doors.
