Door Alarm Test and how to make your own DIY door alarm

Chris's avatarByChris

Today we decided to test a couple of different Door Alarms as well as make our own DIY Door Alarm. In the video below we will show you how you can make your own alarm very easily.

 

What you need is the following:

  • 10-12ml Syringe
  • 9v Battery
  • 8-12mm Steel Ball
  • Buzzer 9v Connector
  • 2 metal Thumbtacks
  • Hot Glue Gun (Optional)
  • Magnet (Optional)

We also tested two other popular alarms, one of them is a door knob alarm that you simply hang over the door knob and when someone touches the knob or handles the alarm will go off.

This alarm is perfect if you are staying in a hotel or something like that where you need a quick and easy way to secure the door.

 

The other alarm we tested was a magnet sensor. These alarms work really well for securing doors, windows, closets, or really anything that opens. They are really cheap and work well for what they are intended for.
