The TK1000 door contact switch is a universal magnetic sensor designed to automatically control electric side steps. It reliably detects whether a vehicle door is open or closed and sends the corresponding signal to the side step controller. This enables the electric step to extend and retract automatically, improving both convenience and safety during everyday vehicle use.
Universal Door Contact Switch for Electric Side Steps
Quick Overview
The TK1000 is a universal magnetic door contact switch with a normally closed (NC) contact. Designed for 12 V electrical systems, it is compatible with our ETB, E1, E2, E3, X4 and EM1 electric side step systems and can be installed on virtually any vehicle.
The TK1000 magnetic door sensor has been developed to provide reliable door position detection for electric side step systems. As soon as the vehicle door is opened or closed, the sensor detects the position and sends the appropriate signal to the control unit, allowing the side step to operate automatically.
Its universal design makes it suitable for almost all vans, commercial vehicles, motorhomes and specialist vehicles equipped with a 12 V electrical system.

💡 Kurierbedarf Expert Tip
For reliable operation, the sensor and the neodymium magnet should be aligned precisely. Even small alignment errors may affect the switching performance. We recommend testing the sensor position before completing the final installation.
⚠️ Installation Notes
- Maximum tightening torque: 1 Nm.
- Tighten the lock nuts by hand only.
- Overtightening may damage the plastic housing.
- The electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified technician.
Things to Check Before Installation
- Confirm that your side step controller supports an NC contact.
- Ensure the vehicle operates on a 12 V electrical system.
- Check that there is sufficient space for both the sensor and the magnet.
- Position the sensor and magnet so they align accurately when the door is closed.
- Test the switching function before completing the installation.
