Unless you have two surfaces where the two parts of the alarm can mate together perfectly, this device is useless. In my case, for example, I tried to use it on a door with the typical rounded trim around it. I don't know of many doors that aren't trimmed out. You could go deaf trying to adjust it, and you won't be able. At least this explains why it's so cheap!

I received this today and only one of the two sets work, so minus 2 stars. The broken set's alarm works but when the 2 pieces are placed together, the alarm doesn't shut off, rendering it useless. Granted, I only needed one for my college dorm room next year, but having 2 working sets would have been better.

The alarm is loud, annoying and intrusive upon the ears as expected. The black switch on the left piece makes it easy to turn it on or off. Each set requires three small AG13 batteries (those small, round batteries) and are already installed, which is a nice touch.

Overall, it is a good piece of equipment if you get working sets. I got this for a measly $5 so I can't complain, but I get the feeling they give you 2 in order to make up for failure rates.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Stay On!, August 19, 2009

We purchased this alarm, hoping to use it on our doors and windows. The problem was that it didn't STAY on, so the crazy loud alarm would go off all hours of the night! (Imagine having to search for the fallen piece in the dark, after you got scared like crazy cuz you thought someone broke into your house!) I don't understand where else it would stick on to, if it doesn't stick to painted walls and the moldings. Maybe on wallpaper (which not too many houses have anymore...) The concept is good, but the quality of the product itself needs quite a lot of work.
