Will this alarm work on a door that opens outward?

It depends on if there is some type of insulation to keep the prongs in place. The V shaped prongs need to squeeze in between the door and the door frame to work.
1386624
yes, it will work on any door that the prongs can be inserted between the door and door frame. I hang it on the door knob then put the prongs between the door and frame.
1386625
Yes, it should work on any door where the prongs can be wedged between the door and the door frame. Then when the door is opened the prongs separate to activate the alarm.

Yes it will work on an out-swinging door. Loop the cord around the door knob and slide the trigger between the door and the jamb, or place the alarm on the floor and the trigger between the bottom of the door and the floor.

Yes. It works based on the door opening either way as long as you can put the trip sensor in the door jam.

I lined it up, opened the door. When the alarm went off, I took the backing off and stuck it permanently. It works perfectly. Someone opened my door one night and I heard the alarm from upstairs. The intruder left promptly. Also, it alerts when children leave or enter the house, or leave the door open.

NO, this will only work to secure the door from the inside. For example if your in your room (or a hotel room). One suggestion be sure you have the key handy in case you need to get out in a hurry. I hope this was helpfulCharlie

If the door has a glass window on it I would assume it would work the same way. If the window breaks or vibrates it should set off the alarm.

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.

I don't think it would work. The plunger is a gravity plunger not spring loaded. Also when the mail man comes and open an close it you would never know if he came or not. Because when he close it the light would go off an the alarm would stop sounding.

Yes, it will as long as the detector is near the door. I have a home based CPR business and use it at the door in my house to monitor traffic on that level. It works perfectly for me. I have no complaints.

It will work if you add a door sensor and possibly a motion dtector on the upper level.

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.

The alarm emits a light beep when activated (turned on) and the same when deactivating it. When it detects movement it emits a LOUD alarm that will awake anyone in the house. I used it to detect movementOf a walker used by the patient. I leaned it against the walker so that it fall over if the walker was moved. It worked like a charm.....

I don't have a more expensive pool alarm to compare it to, but I can tell you that it works really well for us. It will work with either one or both of the alarms - although, I bought it thinking it could work for two doors side-by-side (I have 2 sliding doors right next to each other) and it does not, it is meant for one door and has the extra set of alarms for a screen door.

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :) I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened. Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner. Hope this info helped!

This alarm will work on anything if you are not familiar with installing alarms I would suggest paying a proffesianal

You can select any door for a chime feature that will alert you to set the alarm upon exit

Yes, the door sensor should work on all doors, as long as contact is made the alarm will arm.The motion sensor might be a problem with large clear balcony /clear doors, quick moving shadows or car headlight at dusk might set off the motion sensor. Keep the motion sensor away for large doors and windows and you should be fine.We have the unit for 3-4 years and it worked perfectly, because we have walked into the house few times without turning off it first and it scared us each time ;)

It will work as a door monitor. There is a beam of red light emitted from the unit. (Just like an overhead garage door). If anything interrupts the beam, it will sound an alert on the receiver unit. We clipped the receiver unit to our belt so that we could be in other parts of the house. If our patient (elderly, and a fall risk), got out of bed, the alarm would sound. The unit itself (the part with the beam), does not sound an alarm, just the receiver unit.
