Wireless Door & Window Alarms - 2pk with batteries for £1

Just spotted these in the £1 section at Asda - a 2-pack set of "Handy Home" Door & Window Alarms. I have been looking out for some of these and was on the verge of paying £10 each in Homebase (different brand but similar product).

Each alarm comes in two halves (with self-adhesive pads) - you put one half on the door/window frame, and the other half on the door so that they match up. An magnetic contact between the two halves shows that the door is closed. When that contact is broken (by someone opening the door), the alarm sounds at 100 Decibels.

I've just bought two packs / 4 alarms (for the grand total of £2) so that I can instal them on both ground-floor doors and windows :)

    Havent personally bought these items nor can I vouch for their durability but I have purchased other items from them and they provide cheap but good knock offs :)

    Hope this helps
