Re: discreet door/window closure sensors?

["Raymond Kelly" <raymondtkelly@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,
Haven't determined the exact position yet. I haven't fitted them yet
either - but my builder is waiting for me to do it and can't do final
finish around the windows until I do. Maybe I've got the luxury of not
having them surrounded yet with final finish!!
It seems there are lot of finicky HA things to do that are now holding
up my builder!!
I was thinking high up on the side near the hinge (mine are top swung
out as well) and looks accessible!!
Got to do this WE

between the window and frame. It's finding somewhere to mount them that's
the problem. The surface mount would possibly work better but are ugly and
obtrusive.
