Window and Door Alarms

Keeping your Home Safe Starts at the Entry Points

Window and door alarms are the first line of defence for any home security system. These simple devices alert you the moment a door or window opens, helping you protect your family and your property. Whether you want to monitor a main entrance or a basement window, adding these sensors is an easy and effective way to gain peace of mind.

How Door Alarms Protect Your Entrances

Door alarms work by using two magnetic pieces. One piece goes on the door frame and the other goes on the door itself. When the door opens, the magnetic connection breaks and the alarm sounds. These home door alarms are great for front doors, back doors, and even the door leading to your garage. For more advanced protection, you can choose smart door alarms. These smart options send an alert to your phone the moment someone enters your home, even if you are not there.

How Window Alarms Secure Your Home

Windows are often overlooked, but they are common entry points for intruders. Installing window alarms helps ensure every part of your home is covered. Most sensors are small and fit easily on different types of frames. If you want to check your home security while at work or on vacation, smart window alarms are a helpful choice. They connect to your home Wi-Fi so you can monitor your house and get notifications  from an app on your phone.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

You can install most basic battery-powered sensors yourself in just a few minutes. However, some may be more complex and require professional installation. To keep your system running well, follow these simple tips:

·         Test your alarms once a month to make sure the sirens are loud and operational.

·         Check the batteries regularly and replace them every year.

·         Ensure the sensors are clean and free of dust or build-up.

·         Make sure the magnets are lined up correctly so the sensor can trigger properly.
