The loud 120 decibel alarm sounds when a door or window opens, helping to deter intruders and alert residents. The alarms are easy and convenient to install, requiring no wiring, and come with mounting hardware and instructions. They are designed for indoor use only and include a built-in low battery test button to easily check battery life.

The alarms are ideal for use in homes, garages, apartments, dorm rooms, mobile homes, RVs, offices, and more.
While many users found the alarms to be effective in deterring intruders and providing peace of mind, some users experienced issues with the adhesive tape not holding up over time. Additionally, some users reported that the alarms fell off their doors within a few days, scattering the small batteries across the floor and posing a risk to pets and children.
