A door or gate alarm sounds the moment someone opens a way into the pool area, so you hear about it before anyone reaches the water. All-Safe carries alarms for hinged doors, sliding glass and screen doors, windows that open toward the pool, and the gate in your removable mesh pool fence.
Each unit covers one opening, and most have an adult pass-through so you can come and go without setting it off. Several models are UL 2017 listed. There is more below on matching a model to the opening you need covered.
A hinged door, a sliding glass or screen door, and a pool fence gate each want a different unit. For a hinged door or window into the pool area, the Poolguard DAPT-2 and the Poolguard DAPT-WT both mount on the frame. For sliding glass and screen doors, the Techko S287 is built for them and adds a strobe alongside the siren. For the gate in your pool fence, the Poolguard GAPT-2 is the outdoor-rated one.
Each alarm covers one opening. Walk the route from the house to the water and count every door and window that opens toward it — most homes need more than one unit. The Techko S189 ships with two magnetic sensors, and the Poolguard Screen Door Kit is an add-on set of extra sensors for screen configurations.
Most of these have an adult pass-through, so you press a button before opening the door and it stays quiet. They differ in what happens after. The DAPT-WT resets itself after five minutes, while the DAPT-2 sounds within about seven seconds of a door opening and keeps sounding until you reset it by hand. If a siren alone is easy to miss in a busy house, the S287 adds a strobe to it.
An alarm tells you a door or gate has opened. It does not keep it closed. Used with a removable mesh pool fence or a pool safety net, the two cover different moments — the barrier limits access, the alarm lets you know if that changes. To cover the water itself as well, see pool alarms. Requirements vary by city and county, so check your local pool fence code for what applies where you live.
