Why Choose the DPS-M-BK?
The DPS-M-BK is a strong choice when the door contact needs to be hidden from view while still providing dependable door status monitoring. Because it is recessed into the door and frame, it is less visible than surface-mounted contacts and helps maintain a finished commercial appearance. The metal-door design uses a larger magnet to support reliable operation in steel door applications.
