The side that swings open. They are recessed though, so I guess I don't see why there would be any issue, unless I have a pile of poo or something on my shoe, and somehow find a way to magically kick it in the air, which in that case it may just as easily land on the top of the door (if I'm good enough).

Sorry, I should have phrased the question differently. I meant on the side opposite the hinges, but either on the top or bottom on that side.

comment How do I choose a recessed alarm contact switch?
I am going with the stubby/earth magnet contact for the windows. Too many unknowns with what I am drilling into, and warranty implications. If there are no downsides of this contact, then I don't see the benefit of the press fit ones that require drilling into the windows. I am using miniature press fit ones for the doors. Thanks for your help.

@user1563835 I'll look into that. I'm not sure offhand. Thanks.

These are the windows: silverlinewindows.com/vinyl-windows/new-construction-windows/…. Why is it difficult to install? Doesn't it just require a hole drilled, wires spliced, and run to control panel?

What exactly do you mean by areas? I basically have windows and doors that I want to install contact sensors into. I'm assuming the correct choice will be very specific to the door and window, however, I wasn't sure what other factors may determine the best choice.

Are motion sensors powered by the security wire? If so, does this change anything?
