Glad I had this!!,
On our recent trip to Egypt and Jordan we stayed at the St. Catherine’s Plaza Hotel in Jordan, the hotel was not very secure and had no added security locks or chains on the door. It was 7 am, I was just waking up when I heard steps coming up our staircase outside and then there was a key in our door and our door being unlocked. We had set the GE Smarthome Door alarm the night before and of course when they tried to enter our room the alarm went off scaring them away, I could hear them running very fast down the stairway. I am so glad I had bought this for our trip or we may have had an unwanted stranger in our room. I highly recommend this alarm!

Affordable and Works Great!,
Even though I keep a gun next to my bed, it really bothered me that if someone managed to get into my house, I probably wouldn’t wake up in time to get to it. (I’m a VERY deep sleeper and my bedroom’s on the 2nd floor)
I’m so glad I decided to order this!
It’s VERY loud and the 4 I ordered work on all my doors leading outside.
I even found a way to use this on my sliding glass door. By propping it gently against the sliding part of the door, and then putting something heavy behind it, to hold it in place, the alarm will go off if the door’s opened.
Like the other reviewer said, I love that it’s portable, so I can bring it with me to hotels and stuff.
Anyways, between how well it works, the simplicity of using it and the very reasonable price. I very highly recommend this!

Effective and LOUD,
This product will not disappoint you. 120 decibels is no joke. Fire/Police sirens are approx. 120 decibels. Gunshot approx. 140. Most sound charts start the pain threshold at 125. Excellent product and a cheap/simple security measure. Understand this is just an added level of security (like a tall fence, door lock), not an all-encompassing security solution. I’m not worried about amateur/undetermined intruders now. However, now I’m worried about waking the dead… that might be problematic. They’re always so angry.
