Default Sticking an alarm door contact magnet to a UPVC door

My parents have had a front door changed along with some other work. This
now means the surface mount alarm door contact will not clear the gap

above
the door. I removed the magnet from the plastic case and stuck it to the

top
of the door with Sticks Like S*** to make it fit. It did not stick.

Can someone suggest a better adhesive for sticking metal to UPVC please? I
do not want to be left with globs of old glue on the door from failed
attempts! The Sticks Like S*** came off the door easily.

PS It is the magnet out of one of these
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TS012.html and the reed switch was
sunk back, skimmed over and is not visible.


Er double sided tape on a new contact,wipe the area with meths and it'll
stic like s**t. :-)
Well they have on my DG doors.
