Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic SP440B Wireless Window Alarm, White
Customer Review: Simple and effective!
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to set up, and loud enough to wake the dead!
Two pieces (as pictured). You stick one to your door frame, and the other - to the door itself. Position them in such a way that they come together when the door is closed. Flick the switch to "ON", and you're set.
As soon as the door opens, and the two pieces are separated - RUN FOR THE HILLS (because it's about as loud as one of those air horns at baseball games).
So loud is this tiny gadget, that it creates a disorienting effect to the intruder.
For maximum effect, mine is set at "head-height". That way an intruder would have this "air horn" closest to his ears. Sweet!
Suggestion: Make use of the little sticky strips that come with the unit.
Customer Review: No one's getting in our window without us knowing
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this for the room at the far end of the house from our bedroom. I've long worried that if someone forced or broke that far window at night, we'd never hear it. With this alarm there's virtually no way someone will get in that window without the siren going off, and that should be enough to scare them away. If not, we'll be there with our dogs and baseball bat to welcome them.
This window alarm is very easy to set up. Because we live in hot FL and it's a south-facing window, I took the advice of some other reviewers and fixed the halves with velcro rather than using the included sticky foam. I also placed it at the bottom of the window rather than either side to make it even more difficult for an intruder to avoid tripping it.
Customer Review: Excellent product when you need an inexpensive alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
Having bought this alarm for my own windows, slider and screen doors, I recommend it highly. It is a very simple system and inexpensive way to secure your home, alerting you to an attempt at intrusion with a loud alarm.
When installed, the magnetic field is broken when the window or door opened and the alert sounds out.
There is a simple on and off switch when you do not want the system active.
For hotter, humid climates such as Florida, I have found using heavy duty velcro a more reliable way to secure the alarm for the long run than the double sided foam provided.
Buy this if you're worrying about breakins! You'll sleep better.
Customer Review: These work great for little kids and a great night time reassurance for break-in's
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought these years ago when our son was 2 and we had foster kids. We use them on doors as well as windows. They are great at night when my wife is alone. She feels safer woth these. The batteries have not been replaced for 4 years and they are still working awesome. We turn them on every night. This is alot cheaper than an alarm. We recommend these to everyone.Customer Review: Keeping the kids in
Summary: 5 Stars
Brought this alarm to keep my three year old from going out the front door without me hearing him.(I also have those plastic covers on the doorknobs, but he has mastered that.)It was easy to install,and seems to be working great so far. He tried once to open door while I was in bathroom, the alarm went off, and he shut the door quick, fast and in a hurry!
