No Longer Offering Slim Magnets?
I recently replaced my front entry door. The SS sensor and or magnet are too large to mount on the inside door frame and have door clearance to open/close. I thought I read in another thread that there is a slim magnet available. I contacted SS and they didn't seem to know about this. Can someone tell me if I have a misunderstanding?
If there is a slim magnet and/or sensor, would you share the part or model that I may reference when I contact SS? I can't use the standard sensor magnet on this door. FYI - the door is deeply inset about 4-5 inches. So, I cannot mount the magnet on the door and the sensor on the door casing because they are too far apart. The system shows the front entry door as being always open.
Thanks.

Hi all,
Slim Magnets can replace the regular magnet piece for your Entry Sensor, and can be used for tighter spaces. It measures 1.10"H x 0.39"W x 0.20"L.
If you're interested, reach out to our Support team!!

Make sure you tell them the dimensions. Most of the reps aren't aware of the slim magnets, and usually, people attempt to order them via phone and the rep sends the regular sized magnet. If a rep on the phone still doesn't know what you're talking about, ask for a senior supervisor who does.

I just got off the phone with "Thomas" at Simplisafe and he knew exactly what I was looking for.
The model number for the slim magnets is "MAG-SLIM" and they are still selling them. He shipped a couple of them off to me. They are 1/4" thick (including the adhesive pad) and easily clear the recessed door that I have.
(They arrived today so I edited my original post.)

I replaced all of my magnets with these from Amazon and they work great. You need to put two end-to-end for the right magnetic field:

I'm planning to create some sort of small plastic cover for them. But a small piece of 3M command strip behind it and it works great.

I discovered you can just take the regular SimpliSafe sensor and split it apart to get to the magnet, then stick that to the door frame with some 3M tape. I have no idea why they made that thing so huge.
