We have this box on the wall in one of our bedrooms and though I'm sure I've seen one before, we can't figure out what it's for. The black thing at the front is a key that turns and the two red things on top press down. Anyone know what it does?
Yeah, it's for the house alarm. We've got one in the house we're renting. If you press the red button the alarm goes off and you have to turn the key to deactivate it.
Well I never. We've only just moved in and there is an alarm system that we've not played about with yet. It would appear that it's probably linked to that. That'll be why I recognised it but couldn't place it. I've seen them in workplaces but not bedrooms! Thank you, I would never have guessed.
We have one of these in our hallway, but no key! There are two buttons on the front, not the top of ours. Our house is a former rental property (perhaps it's a standard feature )
My sister had one of those and we never knew what it did. Then one day my brother in law pressed it. We didn’t know the alarm code. There was no key. Looking back on it now nearly 15 yrs down the line I can laugh. We didn’t at the time .....
