GE Personal Security Window and Door Alarm, 12 Pack, DIY Protection, Burglar Alert, Wireless Chime/Alarm, Easy Installation, Home Security, Ideal for Home, Garage, Apartment and More, White, 45989

I really like these for throughout the home. They are loud and you can chose between two different alarm noises. Easy to install on doors, windows, etc .

I love that these are sturdy and has a screw keeping the battery area closed so if it hits the floor, it doesn't stop working. The quality is the best. Its surrounded by think plastic and will survive wear and tear.

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.

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.

Perfect and easy installation and perfect for my slide up windows (yep the old school slide up) they worked good. They did not fit for my patio door though.

Works great and LOUD

Living alone, I wanted some kind of security alarm to alert me if someone breaks in but didn't want to spend a fortune. This door alarm is perfect for my small apartment, it's simple to install and use. I did forget to turn off the alarm when opening the door in the morning a few times which was definitely startling, it is quite loud but in the event of someone breaking in hopefully the noise would be enough to deter them, or at least alert me right away even while sleeping. I'm glad I only had to pay $10 for an effective alarm.

I would have given these a five-star rating if this hadn't happened: I bought the 12 pack, to have enough for all the windows. So I installed them all, the day they arrived. That night, at 5 a.m. the alarm on one of my bedroom windows went off. It's extremely loud, and extremely jarring, to say the least, when it happens when you're sound asleep.I stopped it, and reset it, and attempted to go back to sleep. At six O'clock it went off again. I turned it off and left it off.To be clear, the window had not been moved in the slightest. The next day I checked the batteries to make sure it wasn't simply a matter of weak batteries, but that wasn't the case. There's a button you press to check the batteries, and it lit up the tester light green. Having malfunctioned twice, and cost me several hours sleep, it went into the garbage can. It's not going to have another chance to do it again, and I'm certain it would have. I was just glad it happened to me, and not another member of the family, because it would have scared them out of their wits. So instead of a 12 pack, I got an 11 pack for my money.Consequently, I now have serious doubts about the other eleven. Are they eventually going to go off for no reason and scare the hell out of my family? Are they even going to work correctly, if there's an actual break-in attempt?Basically, I now have zero confidence in these. The best I can say is, they aren't very expensive, and they are loud enough to wake the dead. I thought of GE products as being well-made, but I won't be buying any more of their brand.
