There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing, but I thought I could figure out the wiring and make it work. I was more concerned with drilling a bad hole in my brand new door--too large, or not lined up with the other sensor.
Not to worry. It was close enough (as other reviewers have mentioned, the magnet seems strong). And the wiring was correct. The alarm works. And it cost me less than ten dollars.
The carpenter repairing one of our window sills caused enough vibration for our sensor to fail. I pulled it out and soldered one of these in place. [Be sure to clean wires well.... there's probably some corrosion.] No problem (several months ago) and it sure beats a $100 service call from the alarm company.
I have to confess that the brand name was a factor in my choice because you want reliability, but who knows if these are any different than the generic ones I ordered at the same time? They LOOK identical, but the innards are invisible and important so I suggest the Honeywell name gives some comfort to Management (ahem).
One hint: put silicon sealer around these when you put them in.... you don't want water leaks around your window and my alarm wiring showed unusual corrosion so I'm guessing improper sealing of my original sensor contributed to the carpenter's 'event'.
