hi, can anyone tell me if it is ok to use a standard door contact from b&q as my yale one is bust.a new yale one is 18 pouunds and b&q is 8 pounds .do i have to have the same make as the alarm
If it is a wireless system then only the manufacture's equipment can be used.
If it is a wired system then almost any magnetically operated contact can be used as the panel is only looking for a closed contact when the door is shut. There may be resistors with the contact but these can be "fitted" into a replacement switch ( sensor ) body.
