Re: Overhead Door Magnetic Contact

["Crash" <robosama@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem with putting them on the very top is that I've seen the bad
guys push in on the bottom of the door with the front of a vehicle and
bend the door enough to crawl through. I also stopped putting them on
the floor because the cables get broken by idiot forklift drivers
(etc). The Sentrol 2315s are a good compromise as you can easily place
them anywhere on the track. Try one...you'll never use anything
else...they're worth the extra bucks for sure.
