Glad I had this!!
By Rose-Lynne K. Osborn
On our recent trip to Egypt and Jordan we stayed at the St. Catherine's Plaza Hotel in Jordan, the hotel was not very secure and had no added security locks or chains on the door. It was 7 am, I was just waking up when I heard steps coming up our staircase outside and then there was a key in our door and our door being unlocked. We had set the GE Smarthome Door alarm the night before and of course when they tried to enter our room the alarm went off scaring them away, I could hear them running very fast down the stairway. I am so glad I had bought this for our trip or we may have had an unwanted stranger in our room. I highly recommend this alarm!

Affordable and Works Great!
By starry_night
Even though I keep a gun next to my bed, it really bothered me that if someone managed to get into my house, I probably wouldn't wake up in time to get to it. (I'm a VERY deep sleeper and my bedroom's on the 2nd floor)
I'm so glad I decided to order this!
It's VERY loud and the 4 I ordered work on all my doors leading outside.
I even found a way to use this on my sliding glass door. By propping it gently against the sliding part of the door, and then putting something heavy behind it, to hold it in place, the alarm will go off if the door's opened.
Like the other reviewer said, I love that it's portable, so I can bring it with me to hotels and stuff.
Anyways, between how well it works, the simplicity of using it and the very reasonable price. I very highly recommend this!

A MUST HAVE for traveling and even your house!!! CHECK your door SPACING. Read more for useful tips!
By R. Frank
I've been using this for about 3 years and here are some tips for using the GE Smart Home Door Stop Alarm.
1. Before purchasing make sure you have enough door spacing that the door stop alarm can be activated by the door opening and depressing the metal activator on the door stop alarm. (If there is not enough spacing then it will just push the stopper away from the door and won't go off)
2. When putting it in your baggage or luggage for travel I recommend either taking the battery out so it doesn't accidentally turn on in your bag or putting a piece of tape over the switch so it doesn't move.
3. When placing the device in your door, give it a test by opening the door and checking that it will activate the alarm. You can also place something heavy behind the door stop alarm so that it won't slide when the door is opened and touches it, raising the chances that it will depress the activator.
4. Make sure you keep some spare 9V batteries around for this and that you have one before you throw this in your bag. Check the battery by testing the alarm before you pack it away.
5. Place this on your door at every hotel you visit. This also makes a great gift for frequent travelers.
6. You need a small Phillips head to access the battery compartment.
If you have more feel free to add them below. Thanks!
4.5 stars for it being too easy to accidentally switch the alarm to on in your bag and a pain in the butt to change the battery. You need a small Phillips head to access the battery compartment.
