    Hello. I need instructions on installing K-2 BR Satel reed switches. The facility has windows made of PVC Oknoplast. I mean tips if it is possible, and if so, where and how to drill holes for reed switches.

    Always in the line of fittings where the factory and assemblers also drill. Several times, when the customer had objections, I reported the matter to the supplier. So far, I've always received a positive response, with detailed information on how to do it.
    Read Zbych's topic about reed switches.

    Now I also wanted to install contracted, 3-glazed windows with warm assembly in windows made of windowplast
    and I did not get approval because I will lose the warranty.
    Window fitters want 150 zlotys for one reed switch per installation.
    All I had to do was put on the glued ones. If it's under warranty, make sure you don't void it.

    And if I decide to drill for these K-2, what do you recommend? A wood pen or a regular drill bit for steel?

    You should not ask the manufacturer or window supplier for such things as the installation of recessed reed switches. It is known that they themselves want to earn on it (and they do not necessarily know what and how to do), so they will threaten to lose the warranty.
    I wrote and showed what a factory messed up sensor assembly looks like (for a lot of money) in the thread linked above by the Moderator Suvorov .

    By the way, I've seen so many messed up reed switch installations that it's hardly surprising that manufacturers or window suppliers are trying to defend themselves.

    If you hire someone else to install, they assume the risk.
    If you want to experiment on your own windows and you feel up to doing the installation yourself, then do it and don't ask.
    If you screw something up and the window falls apart (or there is a window or hardware failure related to your work), don't go to the window supplier to fix it, because you have a guarantee.

    If the written warranty does not say that it is not allowed, and you do it in accordance with the art, then no one has the right to withdraw the warranty for windows, because a properly drilled hole for the sensor does not affect anything that is covered by the warranty.

    He will take over the risk of possible incorrect installation, but he will not give a guarantee for windows, which we can theoretically lose during installation.

    It is necessary to read the warranty whether such installation does not involve interference / violation of the window structure. Or as he wrote suvorov it is worth writing to the supplier and asking how and where the factory and fitters install it.

    My many years of experience show otherwise. If any of you think that the factory will do it best, I refer you to the thread:

    I didn't write that the factory will do it best because I know it won't. I wrote that before installation, it is worth finding out where the "factory" mounts it to make sure that we can install it there ourselves and we will not damage the window.

    We don't need a factory for that. I don't even think that they will provide such information (I won't even mention the drawing), because what interest do they have in it?
    All you need is information about the manufacturer and profile type (if it is a PVC or aluminum window). There is no problem with wooden ones at all. Besides, there are general rules where you can drill and every experienced installer knows them.

    From user questions stonefree I conclude that he does not have such knowledge and is not an experienced installer, so I try to help him.
