You’re looking at a door alarm, but you’re thinking about the cottage that sits empty for months at a time. Or the college apartment where the deadbolt doesn’t inspire confidence. Or maybe you’re thinking about your elderly parent who lives alone and worries about someone trying to get in at night.
This dual-mode alarm handles both scenarios. Mount it on a door or window as a perimeter alert. Carry it as a personal alarm. Same 120dB output either way – loud enough to be heard three houses down and sharp enough to disorient someone who wasn’t expecting it.
The pull-chain mechanism is deliberate simplicity. No fumbling for buttons when adrenaline hits. No wondering if you pressed hard enough. Pull the chain, get the noise. Every time.

Common Questions
How loud is 120dB compared to other alarms?
120dB is significantly louder than most smoke detectors (85dB) and comparable to a car horn at close range. It’s loud enough to be heard clearly from neighboring properties and will definitely get attention indoors.
Can I use this as a travel door alarm in hotels?
Yes, the portable design works perfectly for temporary door security. The battery operation means no dependence on room power, and the pull-chain won’t accidentally trigger from door movement like motion-sensor models might.
How long does the 9V battery last?
In standby mode, expect 4-6 months of battery life. The alarm will sound for several minutes continuously when activated. Battery life depends on how often the alarm is triggered and ambient temperature.
Will this work on sliding doors or windows?
Yes, as long as you can mount the base unit and position the pull chain so opening the door/window will pull it. The mounting hardware works on most frame materials including wood, metal, and vinyl.
