Magnetic Door Alarms: The Only Thing More Exciting Than a Package Delivery
A Love Letter to Magnetic Door Alarms (and Screwfix)
Okay, let's be real. You're not going to win any awards for interior design with a magnetic door alarm. It's not exactly a statement piece, like that vintage record player you're *totally* going to get around to fixing. But hear me out, because these little guys are the unsung heroes of the smart home world.Why I'm Obsessed with Magnetic Door Alarms
- They're ridiculously affordable. Seriously, you can snag a pack of two for less than a tenner at Screwfix. That's cheaper than a fancy coffee, and way more satisfying.
- Easy peasy installation. No need to call in a professional (unless you're really, really bad with sticky tape). Just peel and stick, and you're good to go.
- They actually work! No more wondering if someone's snuck in while you were out. The piercing alarm will let you know if anyone's trying to get past your front door (or even your pantry, because let's be honest, we all have that one nosy family member).
- They're surprisingly versatile. You can use them on windows, cabinets, even your fridge if you're feeling extra paranoid about your leftovers.
