Do the two mounting surfaces have to be flush for this alarm to work (in the closed position) or is 1/2" difference ok?

should be level, but where I put them there as 0.5cm space between one and another and so works, hope you find it useful this answer

I'm not an expert, but i don't think just a half-inch difference would affect this unit's performance. The two parts create a magnetic field between each other, so i assume that if they are still pretty close to one another, it should work.At this price, i would take a gamble. ;)

Yes it does, we just tapped a piece of cardboard to the back of the one piece to make it work. It's our toddler alarm for my daughters room, lol

Mind are approximately 1/4" apart but I don't know whether or not they would work at 1/2".

Yes it has to be flush but we just taped a piece of cardboard to the back and attached it to the door. It's our toddler alarm for my daughters room. Lol

Yes It sets flush to surface. If area is uneven there may be escapees. Rodswhich connect sections will secure it in place

From a technical standpoint, I have no idea. From a physical standpoint, they're both flush mounted, which means they sit in a hole. If you already have a mounting hole for one, the other will not fit.

The sensor is proximity based. There is generally an inch of movement allowed before the alarm will trigger. You can also fudge the sensor about an inch to get the alarm to trigger immediately if desired. The flexibility allows the sensor to be mounted backwards or offset for unusual mounting locations.

Sorry to say I don't know, but I would measure both distances, one should be 1/2"

Rachel,Yes both of mine are flush mounted just like a normal fan would be. The down rods were way too long for what I was trying to do. The hard part was finding a switch that would work with two fans. The one that comes with it is great for one or if you are running them on separate lines.

I was worried about that myself, but I had a rectangular box similar to what is sometimes shown below as, "other items you might like ... " in the Amazon ads that accompany the RAB sensor. With the rectangular or octagon surface-mount box, the cover plate usually has four FIPT 1/2" holes - two at a slight angle. This worked great for me because I was surface-mounting the box to a sloped eave. Considering that the surface box and cover plate is a nominal expense, it might give you more options regarding angle of the sensor. If your 4" x 4" is flush mount (inside the eave) maybe all you need is the cover plate with two offset angled holes and two flat holes. Be advised the mount swivels only one direction, and you might have to loosen the mount screw to swivel. If you force it the wrong direction it will break. It has a weird angle when shipped to make it fit inside the carton. This sensor truly does work at 190 or more degrees (beyond 180 degrees) which is pretty cool. Always kill the breaker before installing, no matter how good or comfortable you are working with hot circuits, because you can easily fry the sensitive ICs inside the sensor. I would add that the first RAB sensor I bought was just short of five years old when it began misbehaving occasionally - coming on long before sunset and an occasional false on. I call RAB and they said the warranty was 5 years, so I boxed it up and sent it to the manufacturer. They quickly shipped me a brand new replacement, so now I have a spare to use somewhere else if needed.

HI I did not use it i gave it a present to my mechanic who explaned to me that it takes extra work to mount it and he said it's not worth I ended up have him build me his special type of alarm..but this is what i got and I really like it its called Trimax TCL65 Wheel Chock Lock by Trimax. good luck!

I'm not sure. Had a custodian install mine ... and it actually ended up not being a flush mount .... there was a pipe we didn't anticipate ...

I haven't installed this one yet. Installed similar at prior home. Should be able to mount from either side. With the door open at a 90 degree angle, it should take no more than 1 additional inch of the remaining opening.

Yes. It locks securely in the closed position. I haven't had any issues with mount. I would purchase another one tomorrow.

Since you van flush mount the fan it should be.no problem with a 1/2 inch mount on a flat ceiling not a pitched ceiling!

The punch code unit (not sure about window alarms) has some flexibility. Meaning the sensors do not need to be perfectly line up next to each other. I have my sensor a little over 1/4 inch off. I mouned the punch code on my door using 3m command strips, so as to not drill into the door, then used double sided sticky tape for the magnetic sensor onto my door frame.

The ones I installed required a gap of < 1/2 inch to function correctly. The smaller magnetic portion has some flexibility for mounting with different height bases. You might be able to get creative and make it work.. I have had to mix up how I mount them.. on some doors I mounted the larger module on the trim and some on the door surface. It's hard to know for sure it will work until you try. Also, because this sensor has a remote sensor header you could put something like a rolling plunger switch inside the door frame and run a thin wire (I used leftover cat5) between the two.

Should be OK if you mount it close to the front edge of the cabinet bottom.

You may have to adjust the trim, but there is a lot of options with installation. As long as you have the alarm and it's magnetic tab mated properly this should work.

This is the same configuration that I have. This piece will eliminate any "wobble" where the adapter connects to the 2" receiver. It does an excellent job and I would recommend. If there is "wobble" where the 1 1/4" end of adapter connects to rack this will not address. Hope this helps.
