Garage Door Alarm Contact
This overhead door alarm contact uses a wide magnetic gap built for the vibration and travel distance of a garage door, something a standard door contact sensor is not designed to handle. The Monitoring Center's technicians mount the magnetic contact sensor along the track and header for a connection that holds up to years of daily use.
This device is available as a wireless alarm contact or a wired alarm contact, so it can report through your existing panel or integrate with The Monitoring Center's smart home features whether you are adding new equipment or upgrading what is already installed. Either configuration delivers a fast, dependable open door alert the moment the connection breaks.
- Wide Magnetic Gap for Reliable Contact
- Wireless or Hardwired Configurations
- Professional Installation Included
- Compatible With Most Monitored Panels
Why Add a Garage Door Alarm Contact?
A garage is often the least secured entry point on a property, even when every other door and window carries its own alarm sensor. An overhead door left open, whether by accident or forced entry, can go unnoticed for hours without an overhead door alarm contact watching that specific opening.
This contact closes that gap in garage door security by tying the overhead door directly into your monitored system. The Monitoring Center's operators receive the same signal from a triggered garage door alarm contact as they would from any other burglar alarm contact on the property.
Professional Installation and Monitoring
Placement and wiring matter as much as the device itself, which is why The Monitoring Center's technicians handle every step of installing your new device, from panel wiring to final testing.
Correct Mounting
The Monitoring Center's technicians identify the correct mounting location along the door's track.
Seamless Integration
Garage door sensors can easily extend your existing security alarm monitoring system.
24/7 Monitoring
Our UL-Certified monitoring center is notified upon unauthorized opening of your overhead door.
Compatible With Most Alarm Systems
This overhead door alarm contact fits well alongside other additional alarm products in a complete monitored system, and it works with many setups not currently connected to The Monitoring Center. Not sure if your panel qualifies? Call, and a security advisor will check in minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes it different from a standard door contact sensor?
A garage door alarm contact is built with a wider magnetic gap and sturdier housing to handle the travel and vibration of an overhead door, while a standard door contact sensor is sized for hinged doors and windows.
Can this device work with my current alarm system?
In most cases, yes. This device is compatible with the majority of monitored panels, and The Monitoring Center can confirm compatibility with a quick call.
Is professional installation required?
Most overhead door alarm contacts require careful mounting to avoid false alarms and missed signals, so The Monitoring Center's technicians handle the full install for you.
