Sentrol Reed Switches & Magnetic Contacts

Shop Sentrol reed switches at CTC Communications, including roller door reed switches, recessed reed switches, flush-mounted magnetic contacts, surface-mounted contacts and heavy-duty magnetic switches for compatible security alarm systems.

Reed switches are commonly used in alarm systems to detect when a door, window, roller door, shutter or other opening point has been opened. One part of the contact is installed on the frame or jamb, while the magnet is fitted to the moving door or window.

Sentrol magnetic contacts are used across homes, shops, warehouses, industrial sites, roller doors, steel doors and commercial security installations. The right model depends on the door type, mounting style, gap size, contact output and environmental conditions.

Sentrol Roller Door & Heavy-Duty Contacts

Roller doors, overhead doors, curtain doors and shutters often require stronger magnetic contacts than standard door or window reed switches. Sentrol heavy-duty contacts are designed for larger openings, wider gaps and more demanding commercial or industrial environments.

  • Roller doors and shutters – Use heavy-duty contacts designed for larger moving doors.
  • Overhead doors – Monitor garage, warehouse and loading dock doors.
  • Armoured cable options – Provide additional cable protection in exposed or high-use areas.
  • Wide gap models – Help support installations where perfect alignment may be difficult.
  • Aluminium housing options – Suitable for selected heavy-duty surface mount applications.
  • Tamper-prone locations – Choose suitable mounting and cable protection where contacts are visible or exposed.

Common models in this range include the Sentrol 2202AU-L, 2202A-L28, 2205A-L, 2302A-L, 2207AH-L, 2505A-L and 2507AH-L.

Installation tip: Roller door contacts should be positioned to avoid impact damage, water exposure where possible, excessive movement and poor magnet alignment.

Recessed, Flush-Mounted & Surface-Mounted Reed Switches

Reed switches can be installed in different ways depending on the door, frame and desired finish. A recessed contact gives a cleaner appearance, while a surface-mounted contact can be easier to install on existing doors or commercial openings.

Mounting Style Advantages What to Check
Recessed / Flush Mounted Cleaner finish with the switch hidden in the door or window frame. Frame material, drill size, contact diameter, magnet alignment and cable access.
Surface Mounted Easier to retrofit where drilling into the frame is not suitable. Mounting surface, cable protection, appearance, gap size and fixing method.
Steel Door Recessed Designed for selected steel door and metal frame applications. Door material, required cutout, gap size and contact type.
Wide Gap Allows more space between the magnet and switch. Door movement, frame alignment and manufacturer gap rating.
Normally Closed / Normally Open Different output types suit different alarm wiring and panel requirements. Alarm zone wiring method and panel programming requirements.
SPDT Contacts Provides changeover contact options for selected installations. System wiring requirements and installer specifications.

Why Professional Installers Always Prioritise Reed Switches

In professionally designed alarm systems, reed switches are not optional — they are essential. Motion detectors react after movement occurs, but magnetic contacts detect intrusion at the point of entry. Proper perimeter protection using high-quality reed switches significantly reduces false alarms and improves overall system reliability.
