Default Sticking an alarm door contact magnet to a UPVC door

Being a UPVC door, I would pay a visit to your local tropical fish
store and ask them about fish tank adhesive. Industrial adhesive that
will do this job is a bit hard to find. So you don't want something
that will un-bond during the night.
Degrease both surfaces and abrade, before bonding the 2 parts
together. Or should that be, abrade, de grease and bond.
Proper vinegar smell silicone with stick to most things.



That would be plain old silicon sealant (without the fungicide).
Not a very good adhesive at all but good enough for the job as would any
old silicon sealant lying around.
Mines held on by double sided tape and has been there for ~10 years.


For many reasons, I have gone off the use of double sided tape. I have a
mini hub stuck to the top of my computer case and it keeps migrating. I
am using an aerospace grade tape as well :-(
