That magnetic door contact I ignored for years finally won me over
I used to only use recessed door contacts because I thought the magnetic surface mounts were for lazy installs. Then I had a job at an apartment complex in Austin where the doors had steel frames and zero room to drill. Slapped one on as a test and it's been solid for 8 months now with zero false alarms. Has anyone else found a situation where you had to switch your go-to part?

Yeah read a forum post where a guy swore by them for metal doors.

Yeah that steel frame situation is exactly what made me cave too lol. I had a job with metal door frames and no room for anything recessed, so I just threw a surface mount on there as a test. Honestly it held up so well I started keeping a few in my van for those weird spots.
