Multi-Function Entry Sensor

Ajax DoorProtect G3

Four sensors in one. The smartest entry contact.

A wireless door and window sensor that combines opening detection, shock detection, tilt detection, and magnetic-masking protection in a single compact device. Detects forced entry, sustained vibration, door-tilt, and magnetic interference — replacing what would normally need three separate devices.

Why DoorProtect G3

More than just a door contact.

Traditional door contacts only detect opening. DoorProtect G3 detects four different intrusion methods — including sophisticated tampering attempts that would defeat standard sensors. One device, comprehensive protection.

01

Opening Detection

Magnetic reed switch detects the exact moment a door or window is opened. Standard reliable functionality, the foundation of any intruder alarm.

02

Shock Detection

Built-in accelerometer detects sustained vibration from forced-entry attempts: kicks, prying, drilling. Sensitivity adjustable per installation.

03

Tilt Detection

Detects when a door is being tilted off its hinges or a window forced from a closed-but-not-opened state. Catches bypass methods other sensors miss.

04

Magnetic Masking

Detects attempts to defeat the contact by holding a strong magnet near it (a known burglar tactic). Generates a tamper alert immediately.

05

7-Year Battery

Lithium battery powers all four functions for up to 7 years. Battery health reported to the Hub — you'll know months before replacement is needed.

06

External Input

Wired input terminal lets you connect a third-party detector (panic button, glass break, smoke) into the Ajax system through DoorProtect G3.

Where DoorProtect G3 Goes

On every entry point.

DoorProtect G3 is the standard entry-point sensor for most Ajax installations. We typically fit one on every external door and window plus key internal doors that protect valuables.

External Doors

Front, back, and side entries

Primary protection at every exterior door. Detects opening, vibration from kicks, and tilt from forced bypass attempts.

Windows

Ground-floor & accessible windows

Casement, sash, and sliding windows. Compact size suits all window types. Discrete white or black finish.

Internal

Stockroom, safe, and office doors

Internal protection for high-value rooms. Restrict access during specific hours, alert on out-of-hours opening.

Outbuildings

Sheds, garages & gates

1.6km wireless range reaches outbuildings. Weatherproof variants available for exposed locations.

DoorProtect G3 FAQ

DoorProtect G3 questions answered.

What's the difference between DoorProtect Plus and DoorProtect G3?

DoorProtect G3 is the latest generation, adding magnetic-masking detection (older versions don't have this). G3 is what we recommend for new installations. The older DoorProtect Plus is still functional and supported but lacks the magnetic-masking protection.

Will it work on metal doors and frames?

Yes — DoorProtect G3 is designed for both wooden and metal installations. For metal doors and steel frames we use the Ajax-compatible spacer kit which prevents the magnet from being affected by the metal. We supply spacers as standard for metal doors at no extra cost.

Can it be used on garage doors and roller shutters?

Yes — there are configurations specifically for garage doors. For roller shutters we sometimes use a different mounting approach with a tilt-only mode. We assess at site survey and recommend the right configuration.

Is the magnetic-masking really useful?

Yes. Strong neodymium magnets are commonly used by burglars to defeat older alarm contacts — they hold the magnet next to the sensor while opening the door, fooling it into thinking the door is closed. DoorProtect G3 detects abnormal magnetic fields and triggers a tamper alarm. This single feature stops a known bypass technique.

How loud are the alerts?

DoorProtect G3 itself is silent — it's a sensor, not a siren. Alerts sound through the system's siren (typically StreetSiren Plus G3 outdoors and HomeSiren indoors). Configure which sirens trigger and when in the Ajax app.

Will it false-trigger from wind or vibration?

Shock detection sensitivity is adjustable. We tune it during installation to your specific door — sensitive enough to detect kicking attempts, not so sensitive that strong wind gusts trigger it. We also test extensively before signing off the installation.
