    help with new house alarm Accenta 8

    if you mean visually then yes, they are symmetrical. green on the left then red on the right and is approx 5cm apart. thought there might be something wrong as i read it could be a tamper or shows after the alarm has been set off.

    new house front door locks to change all

    All the Doors in the area are like this, that's why I want to keep a mortis lock at the bottom so it's a pain for any thieves. Alarm will go off but anything to slow them down or be a detterant I suppose. I'll look into the glass grills too tho! Thanks!

    Hi alarm, I have a pbs2 in the middle so I guess that is good enough so far. Do you have any links to the other 2? I'll be fitting it myself but I don't really know what they look like, as in can I get them all from Yale? Also how do I get all 3 or even just the top and bottom keyed...

    new house front door locks to change all

    PS: Currently I need to turn a key and pull the handle together in order to open the door, i prefer to have to turn a key and open the door (after unlock any mortislocks etc). even when i am inside, i need to pull 2 levers to open the front door, its not the end of the world but a nuisance.
