Will the alarm go off if someone inside the house tries to open the door

We were never able to get he door stop under the door -- it was too thick. It's sitting in a drawer unused.

Yes, if it's in place, it will go off when the door opens from either side.

Yes...the design is when the door is being opened the alarm goes off regardless of which side of the door somebody is. If you want to open the door from the inside just remove the door stop and open the door.

It's just a door stop, so yeah, if you don't move it to the side then it will go off.

It will go off if anybody moves the door toward the wedge. Of course if the wedge is on the wrong side of the door it could be removed by anybody.

I don't see why not. Once the device is lay down, right next to the edge and next to the door and you turn on the switch, the moment that any part of the door touches the metal slider........the alarm goes off! And it's not a toy, the sound is loud. I hope this helps.

Yes, the alarm still goes off if the door is left open. I just tried it tonight. The door closed when the alarm went off. When you open the door the alarm goes off. The alarm is a high pitched beep. I have high frequency hearing loss and cannot hear it in the next room.

Only if she opens a door or window. Example: The base unit is attached to the door "frame" and the little unit is attached on the door right next to the base unit. You arm the base unit at night, and when the door is opened the alarm will go off! The same procedure applies with a window.

I doubt it very much. I have one of mine on the glass IN the door (the glass is about 2' square) and it does go off once in a while for a sharp knock. I use the HI sensitivity setting, not the LOW. I turn mine off when I'm expecting a visitor. In my case, I want to know if somebody is messing with the door. Great peace of mind at night.

I don't think so but if someone is trying to open your gas door I would put a door switch there so when they open it the alarm will sound.

I would think so. As soon as the door knob is disturbed, the alarm goes off. I don't think it matters which side of the door you place the alarm. I hope this helps.

Pretty much yes, con sometimes it go off by it self maybe because I had another alarm that was ready install or the person didn't know what he was doing. It's really good product yes I would recommend it

If you push the lock button it resets the unit and it allows another set of numbers to be dialed in. You get 3 attempts I believe before the unit will sound an alarm for those in the house to know that there is a probable attempt of j authorized attempt. If it is a party one would think that there would be the owners and others inside so any 'smart' visitor would have to try the regular way when visiting someone which is to push the door bell button. For party cases the best approach would be to lift the cover and disable the 60 sec auto lock feature.

No. This locks the door from inside . Door opens in and basic use for when u sleep.. or just. Extra safety. I think you would bee better off with a door alarm and or motion alarm.. siren is loud and some will call your cell if activated. Good luck chris

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall

Hi! No, unless that door was never opened. The alarm would go off anytime you closed the door, so unless you're just protecting that door and not using it--I wouldn't buy it for that purpose.

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

Yes, just do not input your secret code, if the code has not been entered it will not respond to the door (window) being opened. It has to be "armed" with your code to either chime or alarm. Hope this answers your question. It will only "go off" you have entered your code.... This unit is very easy to use.

It has settings for Low, High and Off.To avoid false alarms, you have to "aim" the sensor at the door. That way it doesn't matter if there's movement in the room.

supposedly it will activate if the door knob is turned then the door is pushed but not successfully opened as in a door that is locked. In other words, the alarm senses the jiggle of the door. You'd have to tweek the sensitivity for it to sense the push of the door but not trigger as a false alarm.

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).
