All I can say is WOW! This little wireless door alarm holds it's own! Yes it's very small and the plastic that it's made from is a bit cheap, but the easy way that you can program and arm it, and the loudness of the alarm from such a small cheap little thing is amazing! Even in chime mode it's still pretty loud, and even pushing the buttons to put in your code and arm the thing is loud. As a first line of defense this thing will definitely draw attention. It comes with 2 ways to attach (1) double sided tape or (2) screws. So far for me it was really easy to program my code and set up the alarm, the most important thing is to make sure that you have the alarm lined up with the magnet so that it works properly. Once the alarm is aligned with the receiver magnet, (at least in my case) it works like a dream. The price for this thing was crazy cheap and once you program it you have 30 seconds to open the door and close it before the system arms and a crazy loud alarm goes off. This is a really good first line defense because people will definitely hear it go off, and for the price it's pretty damn good. I'm really happy with it. UPDATE: A year and a half later, this alarm is still going strong. It's still as loud as ever, and I have moved twice since I originally bought this. This alarm still works great, and now I know that peace of mind only costs ten dollars.

I bought this pack of alarms a couple months ago when I moved to a new apartment. It was robbed 2 weeks after I moved (through the fire escape window). The crooks stole thousands of dollars worth of things, but most of all, I felt so violated. I live in an older pre-war building in Queens NY, so I wasn't sure if a real alarm system would be cost-effective, plus I not even sure how long I'll be living there (and you need a landline, which I gave up years ago). With that said I purchased this package because I had the freedom to set my own 4 digit code for the door alarm. I thought this would be a good way to scare off any potential intruders if they broke in through the door or fire escape windows. They were easy to set up, the door alarm was easy to set as well. I originally had it set to the "chime" feature, but it was so obnoxiously loud. I knew my neighbors would not be happy with me if they had to hear it every time I came in and out of my apartment. The alarms are very loud as well. My boyfriend "accidentally" tested one of the window alarms one afternoon and it was loud enough for people on many floors to hear. I also like the option to set them on/off/chime so I have the freedom to open an alarmed window while I'm home. I feel a lot more comfortable leaving the apartment for long periods of time now that I have these. Learn from my misfortune! If you live in a city put these on windows that someone may have easy access to. Don't wait until something happens to buy them!

I must say, being a cautious buyer when I am venturing into a type of product Ive never owned, it took me a while to decide to purchase this. Now to be honest, I'm glad I did. This alarm system is darn good for the cheap price. I live in a somewhat shady area (saving to buy a house), and needed something for a little security. It comes with one big main door alarm and magnet, and 3 smaller ones for windows and/or doors in the house (not as loud as the main one, but a about half as loud to scare off someone). First I must say, and after reading the other reviews I must agree, the larger alarm component which is meant for the door is shockingly LOUD! And I mean so much that you can feel your eardrums throbbing. It even warns you in the manual that prolonged exposure can cause deafness! (seriously) I am like the reviewer that wanted a quick, cheap, but effective alarm system to scare off an intruder in lieu of nothing. I think this will do the trick. Activation is a cinch, and pretty user friendly. PROS: Cheap LOUD Dependable (except once, it went off when I walked in, scared the crap out of me) Makes me feel safer at night CONS: (after being armed) I would really love to see an adjustable timer for alarm set-off so that when you open your door, a robber doesnt have 30 seconds to snatch and grab stuff. A little beep emits when the door is open, but u cant tell an alarm is about to go off. The main door alarm is too loud for me to set at night. If it went off at night while I was sleeping, it would seriously give me a heart attack. Needs a volume control.

Worked well until they fell off the door. Adhesion not so great.

Easy setup! Changing password was easier than I though it would be. I had to change the tape because it wasn't sticking to my unstainted/unpainted door.. Only downside to this product is that It's not animal friendly (loud) no matter where you are In the house it's ear popping.. Yes I recommend this product but not for pet owners..
