    Intruder alarms only usually trigger when not set for 3 reasons,
    1 Tamper faults,
    2 Battery problems
    3 Being a bit crap.
    Tamper faults are usually loose connections assuming a wired system or any of the boxes will have a microswitch or similer that might need adjustment.

    I used to be in the trade and unless things have changed drastically, by your thread title I’d say it’s the 3rd option.
    Maybe try getting the fitters back or get a proper system installed by a firm with call out back up.

    Thanks,I thought a Yale lock would be decent.Its a fob controlled job and that seemed to confuse the technician.A proper alarm would be £950.00!

    If TSG Can’t/Won’t help I imagine Yale will have a customer helpline.

    It’s over 12 years since I worked on intruder alarms but we would dread being called to a DIY system like that as they were almost always a pain in the backside.

    I have no idea what would have been fitted for £950 but you would usually be able to drag somebody out at any hour to sort any issues.
