Security Alarm question

[kywildcats4life]

Any installers/consumers ever installed or had problems with a break glass sensor inside a garage?

The garage is not heated/cooled. The reason I ask is the security company installed a break glass sensor inside my garage when the house was built. It did not last very long before it malfunctioned and I started bypassing it because it would randomly trigger the alarm. The company told me to adjust the sensitivity setting because the temperature change in the garage was causing an issue with it as the seasons changed. They later said they don't normally install sensors in unconditioned settings. (I can see this for a motion detector) The sensor is hardwired.

Does this sound legit or is the company not wanting to replace it? Just seeking advice to see if I should have the thing replaced with a new sensor, or removed permanently?

That excuse is ******** -- they're obviously setting you up to be robbed by one of their associates. I'd advise contacting the authorities. You've got rights, dammit.

I suggest laying either bear traps or land mines underneath your garage windows. When the security company flunkies come to rob you, they will wish they had never been born.

Sorry, I can't help either. I just love to read questions on Amazon when 10 very helpful people reply "sorry, can't help you."

But now the real purpose of my reply. What brand of alarm do you have? I'm looking for one now, and your brand might be a good addition to the "No" list.

Good luck.

OP- Sounds like the company is just effing with you. Like it's some kinda prank or something. Prolly have cameras installed in your house watching you get irate and confused. While they laugh at your expense.

I have one question that must be answered before I can respond: Did the installers take a dump in your crawl space?

It was installed by a local company. The keypads are "Honeywell," I believe all the parts are as well.
