At only 2 1/2 inches long, the world's smallest window alarm inconspicuously protects your home from intruders. This unit uses a magnetic sensor to detect the opening of a protected window. A 105 dB alarm will then alert you to an attempted entry and scare off potential intruders. The owner may open the window or other protected object, without setting off the alarm by inserting a deactivation key. Once the deactivation key has been removed and the protected door or window is opened, the alarm will sound until the key is inserted or the door or window is closed. May also be used within the home to alert parents to children opening a gun or medicine cabinet or used to protect exterior doors, particularly those hard to protect sliding glass doors. Commercial uses include showcases and cash registers. Batteries included.

Does the job, but needs better adhesive
Review Date: February 5, 2009

The alarm works fine. I wish it used AAA batteries instead of the button cells, because those button cells will be expensive to replace someday and we have little ones in the house who might put one of those into the mouth.
Anyway, this does a good job, and the main benefit of this kind of alarm is that it also serves to keep people *IN* the house at night (we have a teenager who had snuck out at night a few times) because of the key system as opposed to a simple on/off switch. Too bad the batteries are easily accessible, but you can't have everything. Maybe we should put another set on the outside of the house! Heh.
The only problem is that the adhesive doesn't work well. Within 48 hours after installing alarms on several doors and windows, about 1/3 of them had already had one or both pieces fall off. One fell off a frequently used door and the battery case broke open when it hit the floor, but it works fine once we put it back together. After the 2nd time of a false alarm (fortunately not in the middle of the night), I went and bought a five-dollar tube of super glue. Solved the problem completely.
