Re: Door jamb switch

Found my problem. Never realized that pipe threads are tapered and when I used the tap on the pillar I ran the tap all the way thru. And of course the nut on the door jamb switch is not tapered so we are trying a few rounds of tin foil wrapped around the threads. Tightened it up quite a bit but not 100% but think it will hold. If not was suggested to try some fine copper wire wrapped in the threads of the nut. If not will chase down a Caddy switch and use the rivnut.
