1st gen. contact sensors won't mount on my doors because of rounded mouldings

Question

I bought a 1sst gen. alarm system a few years ago and I'm finally getting around to installing it.  I just discovered that these contact sensors won't mount on my doors because my door casings are rounded, so whichever piece I put on it points inward.  If I put a wedge to straighten it out, it's too high.  I see there's an extension, but it's only available for the 2nd gen. and I'm definitely not buying another one.    I figured I'd post this issue here.  I can't be the only person who has ever experienced this.

Hi @jdcma. Check out this Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018549231-How-to-Install-your-Ring-Alarm-Contact-Sensors-on-Different-Types-of-Doors-Windows-and-Trim) for tips on installing your Contact Sensor. You may have to take out the magnet to allow for a tighter fit in odd shaped areas. I hope this helps!
