GE Personal Security Window and Door Alarm, 1 Pack, DIY Protection, Burglar Alert, Wireless Chime/Alarm, Easy Installation, Home Security, Ideal for Home, Garage, Apartment and More, White, 56789

These window and door alarms are definitely a great investment if you don’t want the expenses of a traditional alarm system. I installed these alarms on all entry doors to my home and all windows that open. The alarm is extremely loud and can be heard easily anywhere in the home. The 3M two sided tape seems to be holding so far. Overall a great inexpensive investment for extra security.

Put this alarm on the bedroom door upstairs so I could hear if my toddler aged grandkids were up or sleep walking. Was nervous about them and the stairs. It works great. Alerted me when they were up and leaving their room. The alarm is VERY LOUD.

These are very load and easy to install. I almost didn't get them after reading some reviews of how hard it was to open the battery department to remove the plastic tab. First off there was no need to remove it. You simply pull the tab out. Secondly the door for the battery compartment comes off easy. So unless you aren't able to figure out simple things this will work for you.

Initial impressions only. First thing to note - make sure you have a very small Phillips-head screwdriver for the battery case. If you have an eyeglass repair kit, it will work. Secondly, I bought this set specifically for the chime feature. I have varying needs for the door/window sensors from "this window should never be opened and will be alarm-setting only" to "this door is opened often and I just want a chime on it to alert me during the day." Very few sensors, even at higher price points, have the chime, so I can't be too picky, but it's LOUD and very high-pitched - it's less of a chime than a screech. It's a short blast of the alarm. Someone with average hearing will be able to *clearly* hear the chime from the other side of the house. When in the same room, it's too much. My plan to keep most of the sensors on chime during the day isn't going to work. I will give myself and my cats heart attacks every time the chime is activated; it's not the neutral "bong" I was expecting. Luckily, the switch to adjust the settings are easy to reach so you will just have to get in the habit of resetting it as needed. I'm not looking forward to testing each one as I install them, but, again, at this price point, it's a small inconvenience. Finally, each sensor requires 4 LR44 1.5v batteries. Go ahead and toss a bulk pack into your cart now while you are thinking about it. Another positive is the large battery test button on the front. It's easy to check if you need to replace the batteries, and the notification is a change in the light color, not an alarm.

This product was purchased to keep my little escape artist inside the house. We installed locks he can't reach but, since other people go in and out, there's no way to guarantee they stay locked ALL the time. This handy device helps fill the gap by making sure mama knows EVERY time someone goes through the door! It's VERY easy to install -- if you don't have any trim around your door. If you have trim, you'll need to either forego the alarm or cut into the trim to make a space, because this needs to sit flush. But assuming you have the space for it, just make sure the area is clean and dry and stick it on with the (included) adhesive foam strips. It comes with batteries already installed; you'll just need to remove the piece of plastic preventing them from making contact so they don't burn out prior to purchase. They are, however, some weird button batteries, so when it's time to replace them, they can't be replaced with a trusty AAA. The overall device -- both pieces -- is a little smaller than I had anticipated. I'd say it's a little smaller than two side-by-side boxes of matches. It has three settings: off, alarm, and chime. Off is pretty self-explanatory. I assume if it's set to alarm, it will go off continuously when the door or window is opened. We keep it set on chime, so it goes off once every time the door is opened. It makes a very loud, obnoxious digital chiming sound; you've probably heard it if you've ever been in a store that announces your presence with an electronic chime. It isn't a very pleasant sound if you're standing right beside it, but I'm able to hear the downstairs door from upstairs, so there are benefits to its being as loud as it is. I wish it were designed to use a AAA battery, because the button batteries are exceptionally hazardous around children, but I have no complaints about the alarm's functionality.

These are life savers! When my husband and I moved we were in a not so safe area! We had someone break in through the back door one night and the alarm went off. It scared the guy away, these could have saved our lives. We no longer live in that location but we left them on all the windows and doors for the next people who moved in. They work well! They are very loud and can be heard from one side of a 1,500 sq ft home to another.

This alarm is the best way to add some security to your home without breaking the bank. I ordered two for my front and back door. It comes with everything you need to install the alarms. The adhesive is strong enough to stay glued on the surface, whether it is the moulding or the door itself. The first few times, i had to readjust the positioning and it was still able to stick securely. The sound of the alarm is loud enough to alert neighbors. It can scare pets, so that should be a consideration when purchasing. I either leave the mode either off or Alarm. The Chime sound is not as loud but can still scare pets. I believe this is a great solution for anyone on a budget, especially those renting. Overall, i would recommend this product for those who want something simple that still gets the job done.

Très bonne petite alarme pour protéger les fenêtres du sous-sol.Et le bruit a l’ouverture est assez striden.

I live in a somewhat remote rural area, and in a house with a number of downstairs windows and doors. For security reasons, and following some minor thefts in other properties nearby, I needed either a full alarm system or individual alarms for windows and doors. I saw these, and thought I would give them a try. There are two parts to each alarm - the main alarm and a smaller, magnetised piece that fits on either the door/window or door/window frame. The parts are attached to window/door by the supplied double sided sticky patch (this is a surprisingly strong bonding sticky patch, and I have no doubt it will remain in place for some time). The two pieces of the alarm shoould be attached in such a way that there is a narrow gap between the two parts. To turn the alarm on one simply moves the side switch on the main alarm piece down as far as it will go. (Moving it half way down gives a single chime when the door/window is opened). To turn off the alarm simply close the window/door, or physically move the switch to the 'off' position. The alarm itself is quite loud (110 - 120 decibels - I have seen both quoted in literature and on the box! Whatever it is, it's loud!) This package, with 12 alarms for £50 (the price I paid) has turned out to be good value as far as meeting what I needed, the ease of installation and the noise each alarm makes when triggered; as such I can recommend them. (These are my own thoughts on an item I have bought myself and found useful.)

Amazing

Very effective and LOUD!

Very loud alarm and chime! Easy to set up and install. I particularly like that the magnet receiver does not need to be directly flush but within .5 0.5-inch range, so it works well for patio doors, the inside of door frames OR flush to the door and the outside of the doorframe. Make sure you clean and dry the area well, and rub the tape with the seal still on to warm it up and get it sticky!
