How does a gate alarm work?

Gate Alarm

Having a pool safety fence around your swimming pool is an important line of defense to keep your children safe. But while the pool fence may keep your kids out of the pool area when they are unsupervised, for some determined children, you may need to go an extra step. Consider adding a gate alarm, which will alert you if anyone opens the gate to your pool without permission. Most pool fence alarms mount directly onto the gate easily with two magnetic switches and they go off if the electric field is broken. While this provides security to keep kids out, an adult can also override the alarm to enter the pool area without setting it off. There are many gate alarm models to choose from and most run by batteries. Shop around for the alarm that will best fit your swimming pool fence.
