- How loud is the alarm?
- The siren is rated at 110 dB, roughly as loud as a car horn or a power tool at close range. That is enough to startle someone tampering with the lock and to alert people nearby.
- What batteries does it take?
- It runs on AA batteries. Plan to check and replace them periodically, since the alarm only works while the batteries hold charge.
- Is it really weatherproof?
- The body is stainless steel, which resists rust and corrosion outdoors. The alarm electronics still sit inside the body, so keep the battery compartment sealed.
- How many keys come with it?
- Three specially cut keys are included. Keep one spare off-site in case the main keys are lost.
- Will it fit my gate or shed hasp?
- It is a large padlock at about 4.75 inches tall. Check that your hasp or chain opening is wide enough for the shackle before buying.
- Does the alarm sound when the lock is cut?
- The alarm is triggered by tampering with the lock, such as movement or force on the shackle. A determined thief with power tools may still defeat it, so treat the siren as a deterrent rather than a guarantee.
