Ultra Slim Door Guard Alarm (2-Pack)

We ordered two of these alarms to see if they were what we needed - we are ordering 4 more because they are exactly what we hoped they would be. We spend a lot of time at a cabin in a remote area where we can't expect neighbors or the sheriff to respond quickly nor will traditional monitored alarm systems work. There have been frequent burglaries in the area by both common criminals and by illegals traveling through. My wife is alone occasionally and needs a reliable alarm system to alert her if anyone tries to break in so she will have time to phone for help as well as prepare to defend herself if it doesn't frighten them off. The alarms will also be set when we aren't there and hopefully work as a deterrent. These alarms are sensitive and loud enough that you wouldn't want to be standing next to them for very long. With the hanging loop that can go over a door knob or be used to hang the alarm on a window latch there is enough flexibility to use them in various ways. The loop can be opened to go around something such as a closed handle or large door knob that the loop can't fit over. The alarm could even be used on items that someone might snatch and run with - although you couldn't have them 'armed' if you were going to move the item. Perhaps on a laptop in a library or coffee shop? A briefcase, suitcase or purse? A motel room door? They come with 3 AAA batteries. They have a chime setting as well as an alarm setting. Although we have the stick-on type of window alarms on some windows, we will use these on our other windows by hanging them on removable locks that can be screwed onto window frames. An excellent product for our needs.
