We will be in touch
Anyone recommend a good company for a relatively inexpensive solution, in or around London?
I believe I'm looking for:
Intruder alarms on front / back doors
Same on the workshop shed 1m away from the house, concrete block build and powered, houses the bikes
Same on the garage door at the end of the garden, again powered but 20m away from the house.
Any suggestions as to what type of kit I should look /ask for would be good, but as we all know nothing's really infallible so as mentioned, inexpensive prevention rather than fort Knox is the brief.
All the shed, garden and garage area are lit with movement detectors and bikes are behind a Yale locked and padlocked door, and locked together with a wrist sized magnum chain / lock already, FYI.
Cheers.
Buy a wireless alarm and fit it yourself. Drill holes, screw mount, add batteries, follow instructions to programme, buy some bike bling with the saving.
Wireless alarms hmmm
Cant mind the brand but we had one that wasnt cheap , had a yellow box with a blue beacon
But what i can tell you is they can be disabled in seconds - ours wouldnt stop going off In the middle of the night and my dad was working away so i took a sledge hammer to the box. It shut up fairly quickly 🙂
Word of advice from a an alarm specialist I was talking to last week. Don't tell your insurers you've got one as it doesn't make that much difference to your policy costs, but the minute you haven't got it set and you get burgled kiss goodbye to your claim!
Why would wireless be any easier to disable than wired?
was more the fact it was going off all the time due to stupid sticky pads that didnt hold the sensors in the right place.
