Big Mat Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hi all,Has anyone got any recommendations for a cabinet alarm that links to your phone?Only want something cheap and simple that notifies me if anyone tries to open the cabinet?Don't want to spend a fortune as we'll be putting a full alarm system in new house when we move in a month or two. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgsontour Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 A little overkill in my opinion, more easier to hide the cabinet or make a dummy one more visible but consider a shed alarm, baby monitor or any stand alone system that has wifi but remember to be stable the alarm really needs to be powered, the cheap Chinese battery type bits of kit need updating.

WalkedUp Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I have a shed alarm in my gun room. It’s great and my wife loves it because at 3am every time I sleepily get my kit to go wildfowling the entire house gets a nice reminder I’m heading out and have a heart attack then bleed from the ears.

I set the house alarm at night which does not include upstairs and have wondered down a few times and set if off. Got a sign say this door is alarmed and leave it on the carpet by the door. Works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I somewhat like the frisson of danger each time I open the door 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried going down the 'gun room' argument a few years ago Unsurprisingly, I've still just got gun cabinets, and about 2500 cartridges in the garage !

WalkedUp Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I have multiple safes inside the gun room so have no issue in terms of approval. But the room is getting too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Why do you want your cabinet alarming, would it not make more sense to just alarm your front door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
