Reliable Protection with Hardwired Contacts
Secure your property with hardwired contacts that deliver consistent, professional-grade security for doors, windows, and other vulnerable entry points. Unlike wireless sensors, hardwired contacts are directly connected to your alarm system, ensuring immediate detection of any breach with little risk of interference or downtime. These devices are trusted in the security industry because of their stability, accuracy, and ability to provide real-time alerts when an entry point is compromised. Hardwired contacts are also known for their durability and reliability over time. Since they don’t rely on batteries, they require little to no maintenance, making them a cost-effective and worry-free solution. With options like recessed, surface mount, and overhead door contacts, you can choose the right style that fits seamlessly with your security setup.
At Zions Security Alarms, we carry a wide selection of hardwired contacts, including recessed, surface mount, and overhead door models. Whether you’re safeguarding residential or commercial spaces, these sensors are a cost-effective and durable option to strengthen your security system.

Aluminum Commercial Door Contact
The Aluminum Commercial Door Contact is an overhead door contact from our series of commercial contacts. Also, just like other commercial contacts we carry, the Hardwired Protected Cable Door Contact can withstand power surges up to 2400VDC. You will install the device in areas that are more prone to lightning strikes or power surges. If the contact did not have the surge protection, a nearby lightning strike could easily fuse the internal contact of the device. Not only does it have a protected cable but the actual contact itself is made from high-grade aluminum and making it also tamper-proof with the protected wire.
Commercial Contact with Leads
The Commercial Contact with Leads is a surface mount magnetic contact with leads instead of terminals. It’s also a member of the series of commercial contacts. All commercial contacts are designed to protect against lightning strikes and power surges. As commercial contacts are often installed in outdoor buildings, power surges can be a major problem.
