many thanks for some good ideas, I had not considered that when open the gate itself will cause a blockage that may be similar to the post and therefore the post may not be as much of an issue at least on the hinge side. I like the look of single long hinge, I suspect the hook plates of hinges...

Hello, I have a rather rotten side gate that needs replacing. The current gate does have side posts but as the gap is small these posts hinder getting things like the bins or lawnmower through, our pushchair does not fit and needs folding to get through. I believe the gap wall to wall is 650mm...

I believe I have mine setup as the front door is final exit and sensors that detect you between the front door and the alarm keypad should be entry route not the door itself. I am not sure the numbers but it seems to work as expected. I am sure others can give you all the options.

You do want such a light to stick out tho, that is part of the deterrent no? I cannot say any flood light looking external lights are pretty , and wired ones with large armoured cable or trunking wrapped around the house is also a bit of an eye sore. I personally like the solar look although...

I believe I am, it's all powered down now but I was able to program my wireless devices, going to try and decipher some of the more advanced options on each but I believe what I have will work in the most basic fashion. 1 door contact on front door set as final exit, all pir in rooms set as...

After playing with the tamper screw I heard it click when I put the case on so now engaged. I assume the lack of functionality was due to the panel being in an anti tamper mode. Thanks again for some quick advice, calmed my nerves no end.

Many thanks, what page is the default procedure as I am not sure I have seen it or it did not sink in if I did. I did wire d1 to 4 and then connect the flat cable from the io board to the main face. I think that side is OK but suspect turning it on before this and setting nothing might have...

Hi there, hate to be new and jump in with questions but am banging my head against the wall with ringing ears. I have physically installed the main panel and a euro46 wired keypad. This is connected to the io board with no resistors as that seemed how the install manual has it. There are no...

Also check the manufacturer site. Might be cheaper than Amazon https://www.mrbeams.co.uk/lights/ultra-bright-spotlight-pack-of-3/ https://www.mrbeams.co.uk/lights/spotlight-xt-pack-3/ https://www.mrbeams.co.uk/lights/spotlight-pack-of-3/ 390 seem the brightest, hard to gauge which will...

Have you brought them already? The ultra bright spotlight model you linked https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BCCNZA2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=diynotcom-21 That does not network so will not be a problem.

I think for Mr Beams there are two options. Networked means the lights talk to each other. If one is triggered they all turn on. This gives a far more "secure" look to the action I suppose. This is like WiFi for a computer but you won't need a computer or wireless at home, it will use its own...

Wireless being without wires aka battery operated I believe, far less technical. I went for a solar pir light as I just wanted a few areas covered, in the end I have had a few styles but these are what I have settled with...
