Do Personal Alarms Actually Work As A Personal Protection Device?
If you have a quiet voice and cannot scream very loud and feel that no one may hear you when you do
, then a personal alarm can be just the personal protection device you need. Different alarms produce different levels of noise and depending on the type, they can set off an alarm noise that can be heard from around a mile way.
A keychain alarm is one good choice for a personal alarm. You can carry it on your keychain allowing it to be readily available when you need to use it. One type of a keychain alarm includes a whistle. To use the device all you do it press the alarm button when you feel you are in danger which then activates the alarm. On a keychain alarm when the pin is pulled off, this will also activate the alarm system. Even though its a tiny device which resembles a normal keychain it can still put off a siren sound that is as loud as a car alarm.
Another device is a door stop alarm which is designed to block doors from being broken into or opened. When someone tries to use that specific door then the door alarm will sound. To use the door stop you place it inside of the bottom of the door acting as a door stop. When the door is opened it places pressure on the alarm which makes the alarm go off. The alarm shuts off when the door is shut. Their purpose is to act as a door jam to keep out people from a room they should not be entering. That is another device that can save your life if you live alone and place one in front of all the doors.
There is also an alarm that can be hung on the inside of the door and all that needs to be done is set the chain to pull out when the door is opened. An alarm will sound when this happens notifying you that someone has come in uninvited. If you travel and stay in a hotel, these are ideal to take with you to make you feel safer as the alarm will sound very loudly. Other door alarms work when activated by motion. They are hung on the inside door knob and when someone tries to move the door, it will move the alarm and activate an ear piercing sound.
Above all, personal protection is very important and is very important to consider. A personal alarm is a great device to carry if you do not want to carry pepper spray, a stun gun or a TASER as it will notify the whole block with its very loud alarm. It will help notify people that you are in danger and they will be able to come to your aid.
