Ring Alarm
door sensor showing open
I have one of my door sensors which is showing as 'open' constantly when the door is closed When I set the alarm I have to bypass this sensor in order to arm the system. I have tried troubleshooting steps but have not managed to resolve an issue It seems impossible to raise a support ticket with Ring despite paying a monthly subscription for a protect plan so I am hoping someone can help thanks in advance

C@ryanb2020 Thank you so much for the picture! Do you see the notch that is on the top of the sensor on the top right, and then the notch that is on the magnet on the left side? These notches need to be lined up and facing each other in order to correctly show if it is opened or closed. No worries though, just flip the main sensor piece 180 degrees, and you should see it working as it should!

Hey @ryanb2020. If you have had troubles getting in contact with our support team, it may be due to the restricted support we have be having, which you can learn more about [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041597471). Rest assured, I'm happy to help as best that I can! Could you please take a picture of how you have the magnet and Contact Sensor placed when the door is closed? I would love to see how you have the placement for these two pieces. In addition, let me know if the door is a metal door or if there is any metal nearby the two pieces. :)
