Entry Sensor is showing "Open" even when my door or window is closed.

Entry Sensor is showing "Open" even when my door or window is closed.


If the Entry Sensor is showing "Open," when the door or window is physically closed, check the following:

1. Entry Sensors have two components: a large rectangle (sensor) and a smaller rectangle (magnet). The magnetic field between them determines if the system detects if the sensor is Closed (aligned) or Open (separated). 

2. Are both components present?

  • Yes: Make sure they are no more than ½ inch apart. If they are too far apart, move one piece closer to the other. Open and close the door or window to reset the status.
  • No: Look around the area for the missing piece. If you find it, reattach it to 3M Command Strips or another strong double-sided tape.
  • If you cannot locate the missing part, contact Member Support at 800-669-7779  to order a replacement.
