Noncontact Switches

Magnetic Contact Alarm Switches

Wire contacts to an alarm system to alert when doors or windows are opened.

Magnetically Actuated Switches

These switches actuate when a magnet comes within sensing distance, and reset when the magnet moves away.

Tamper-Resistant Magnetically Actuated Switches

Prevent unauthorized use—these switches require coded magnets to actuate. They cannot be bypassed using ordinary magnets.

DC Magnetic-Object Proximity Switches

These switches detect magnetic objects—or objects with a magnet attached—through non-magnetic walls.

Close-Proximity Audible Alarms

Magnetic-Contact Door Chimes

No electricity or batteries are needed—as your door opens, the magnet and contact disc are separated, sounding a mechanical chime.

Motion-Sensing Door Chimes

A chime announces when someone passes through the infrared light beam and a counter keeps track of each entrance and exit.

Keypad-Controlled Door Alarms

Arm and disarm these alarms with a programmable code.

Key-Controlled Door Alarms

Arm and disarm these alarms with a key.

Key-Controlled Door Alarms with Strobe Light

Attract more attention with a strobe light as well as an audible alarm. Arm and disarm these alarms with a key.

Facility Door Closers, Openers, and Holders

Receivers for Remote and Keypad Transmitters

Wire these receivers directly to your automatic overhead door openers for their power supply.

Internet Gateway for Automatic
Overhead Door Openers

Use a smartphone or computer to control up to 16 Liftmaster automatic overhead door openers that are MyQ-enabled. Download the free MyQ mobile app to track activity and operate your doors remotely.

Automatic Overhead Door Openers

Also known as jackshafts, these openers operate 24-ga. or thinner overhead doors.

Keychain Remote Transmitters

Conveniently carry your transmitter with your keys to remotely operate automatic overhead door openers.

Remote Transmitters

Replace existing transmitters or team a transmitter and a receiver to remotely operate your automatic overhead door openers.

Keypad Transmitters

If you don't have your remote, you can still open and close automatic overhead doors with a private 4-digit PIN.

Automatic Door Openers

Nudge your door and these openers will open it the rest of the way.

Fire Alarm-Activated Wall-Mount Door Holders

For use with doors that already have a closer, these holders keep doors open with an electromagnet. When activated by a fire alarm, the magnet shuts off and releases the door.
