Contact Magnet Cover 2nd Gen.

How do you remove the magnet cover on a Ring 2nd generation door contact? I want to use screws to mount. I have installed using the adhesive strip. Thank you.

    Hey @Christies57. Are you trying to pop off the cover of the magnet, so that you can get the smaller magnet on the inside, like this image below? ![20181016_192111_revised.jpg](upload://qCaOrc3l6ekhi5LU9WfWII0Rj0E.jpeg)

      Yes this bothered me for awhile as the tab inserts on the back side of the magnet do not give you access to take the sensor apart. I used a small enough screw driver flat head and pulled with enough force to pry the 2 pieces apart. Also by trial and error I figured out that a #4 by 1/2 inch wood screw works with a 5/64th bit to mount the sensor. Screws for me mount better on windows that get full sun than the provided tape - on my old security system the tape would eventually melt off in the summertime on super hot days.
