hi all, previous owner of out house had the front door changed from a wooden one to a upvc one.
unfortunately ( i assume) when we changed the hall carpet we have found tucked in the corner a magnetic door contact wired to the alarm box in the downstairs loo.
i want to tidy this up, and extend the cable then put a diferent type of contact on suitable for a upvc door. so i have a couple of questions.
1) is wiring one one of these contacts standard.
2) if i cut the wires, then the alarm will sound, if i renter the alarm code after reconnecting the wires will the alarm stop sounding?
3) what should i expect to pay to get the alarm serviced and a new battery put into the box.
the wires to the door contact are . yellow, blue then a red and black that go to the same contact on the door contact.
