There are several GE contacts you can use. The 2315AL is normally used for track
mounting on overhead doors.  It has a 3" operating gap.  Another is the 2515AL
with a stated gap of up to 6".  The 2747A-L has a gap of up to 2".  I've used
that one on a few sites as well.

Yep.  It's almost impossible to keep them aligned more than a few years.
