These window and door alarms work great. We didn’t originally buy them for home security, but because our child sleepwalks and we were worried he might walk out of the house during the night. Installing these gave us a lot of peace of mind. They’re very easy to install and come with sticky tape, so you can quickly place them on windows or doors. The alarm is loud and definitely enough to wake you up. You can set it to make a simple chirp or a full alarm depending on what you prefer. They can definitely be used for home safety or to alert you when someone opens a door or window, but for our situation they’ve been extremely helpful. Overall, a great product that gives us extra peace of mind.

Super simple installation! Batteries are installed and ready to use. And boy does this little alarm pack a punch for loudness! Wow!! I purchased this alarm for a sense of more security. I live on the ground floor of an apartment complex and transients are always walking thru the area sleeping under bushes, awnings, and for me, I had one sleeping on my patio. You can only imagine the fright I felt opening my curtains to that situation. I do have an aluminum pole in my slider door, but the alarm just gives me that added sense of security. Its on 90% of the time and my kids now know they just can't open the door without the alarm going off. ( It is placed high enough so little hands can't reach it). I feel it is quite effective and for what I paid well worth the added peace of mind. I bought the pack of 2 for just under $21, and passed the 2nd one on to my neighbor with children!

---04/02/2015 UPDATE--- Amazon's stellar-as-always customer service sent me a replacement 2-pack (and paid for the return shipping for the defective pack). I've had these installed in my flat for about four months now. Four stars because "I like it", but that's because I don't expect anything that it can't deliver. Let's get real: these are rated highly because they're extremely loud and very inexpensive. They're not rated highly because they are advanced security. They're great for guarding against the kids opening something they shouldn't, and they're so-so for using as a door chime (it's much too loud to keep on all the time, but a good defense against small children wandering away). I bought them so I can truthfully tell my insurance company that I have burglar alarms installed, to get a home-security discount on my property insurance. I'll be taking them with me when I move out to another home. I'll say it again: the siren is LOUD. It will most definitely cause temporary (or permanent) hearing damage if you're exposed to it for more than a few seconds at a time. Even the chime (a loud, shrill, electronic 'ding-dong') hurts a bit if you're right under it when it sounds. Even so, if you're truly serious about protecting yourself against burglary or home invasion, then for goodness' sake, spend more than $9. With proper placement, will this startle the bejeezus out of someone breaking in? Yes, but only briefly. Anybody with half a brain will be able to locate the siren within a few seconds, and will probably notice the easily-accessed switch on the side to turn it off. That means this alarm is really only useful if A) the burglar is easily scared off, or B) there's somebody around to hear it and investigate. I knew that when I bought them, and was fine with it. They do exactly what I expect them to, and they do that limited thing very well. They were easy for me to install. I took about 10 minutes with each one, determining the best way to install it on my flat's wonky doorframes, testing tolerances and distances, and installing carefully. If you wanted to install them in 90 seconds each, though, you could easily do that. They come with custom-cut 3M Command Strip adhesive pads. Peel, stick, press, peel, stick, press, done. They use included button-cell batteries. A green LED flashes when the siren sounds to show that the unit is working correctly; it doesn't stay lit. This will probably not protect your house while you're on vacation, but it will keep your smaller children where they're supposed to be, and will likely protect your doors while you're sleeping at night. For $9, that's a pretty great deal. ---12/10/2014 ORIGINAL REVIEW--- Temporary two stars because the speaker in one of the alarms was dead right out of the package. The LED turns on just fine, but no noise gets emitted. The other unit is fine, and works quite well, but what good is a two-pack when only one works? Currently working with Amazon to get a replacement, and will update with a full review once I have a fully working package.

To the ladies with babies that want a peace of mind at night when your man ain't home...... Don't walk....RUN to purchase these. I don't have the money for fancy security systems right now. I wanted something cheap in price but not cheap in quality. These are just that. Easy to install and extremely loud. The sensors are accurate, with no delay in response; when the magnets separate the alarm is instant. I set it to the alarm mode so its a constant loud obnoxious sound when it goes off. It will wake even the deepest of sleepers.

Works exactly as expected. Very easy to set up and the alarm is loud enough to get your attention right away. Gives peace of mind for windows and doors, especially for added home security.

My car was broken into in March and the steering column was tampered with in an attempt to steal the car. The man who tried the theft looked up at our cameras as he walked up our driveway, right under a bedroom window, and took only seconds to break into the car. Our dogs never made a sound, and so we heard nothing. It was all caught on our neighbor's cameras and our neighbors also heard nothing as their two dogs never barked either These dogs bark at kids walking by, motorcycles, school buses going down the street, and birds if they chatter loudly, but they slept through the breaking in. I felt unsafe and unable to sleep. I ordered these alarms in the hopes it would keep someone from entering our home or, at the very least, alert us by making the dogs bark! We also have a young child who visits our home from time to time and a pool, this child can run like the wind so an adult is always nearby, so this alarm would give us a heads up before he even gets the door open. It is loud. I know everyone leaving a review says it is loud, so believe it. They are very loud. The alarms can be installed in a minute and work perfectly if you line them up correctly. The adhesive strips stick very well on metal and vinyl. Mine has been turned on and off several times a day and the adhesive has not given way at all. They are simple to turn on and off, so I set them every night before I go to sleep. I dread someone in the house forgetting to slide the button down to turn them off before they try to open the door or bedroom windows because I jump out of my skin. About those dogs; mine dogs go insane from the chime and the alarm sounds. One of them is an escape artist or should I say, he was. He used to push a screen door open and let himself out into a fenced in yard but now he dreads setting off the alarm and waits for the alarm to be turned off. If anyone sets it off by accident we have an immediate three ring circus of noise, bedlam. I think the noise factor between the alarm and the dogs will certainly be a deterrent for would be thieves, and probably scare off univited company as well.

LOUD. Easy to install, just uses adhesive. However in the two pack I bought, only one works. The one that doesn’t work will sound off when I turn it on but does nothing when I put it next to then away from the magnet portion. That’s the only reason I gave 3 stars instead of five. Fortunately I only need one right now.

Easy to put it and works perfectly

As described, good quality, arrived quickly, recommended seller.

Good product as the brand represents little over priced for the brand name.

Muito bom, fácil de instalar, todos funcionando perfeitamente.

Simple to install and operate. Value for money..

The GE Personal Security Window/Door Alarms are a great, no-fuss way to enhance home security. Installation was incredibly easy, and the magnetic sensors work reliably on both doors and windows. I appreciate the flexibility of the Off/Chime/Alarm modes, making it suitable for different situations. The alarm sound is loud enough to grab attention, offering great peace of mind. With five in the pack, it’s excellent value for securing multiple entry points in your home, office, or even an RV. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a straightforward security upgrade!
