Product Overview

The 4M KidzLabs Intruder Alarm is a DIY circuit-building kit that lets builders assemble a working kick wire door alarm. The kit includes an alarm platform, buzzer with wires installed, trigger plate, wires, battery case, and detailed instructions for constructing a functional security device with a transparent casting. Once assembled, the alarm can be installed as a door alarm using a string trigger and metal pegs to detect when someone enters a room, making it both a hands-on electronics project and a working spy gadget.

  • Teaches the science of connecting electrical circuits through assembly of a functional intruder alarm
  • Triggered whenever the included plate is disturbed, alerting to unwanted intrusions
  • Transparent cyber-look casting gives the finished alarm a spy-gadget appearance
  • Suitable for science projects or hands-on electronics exploration
WARNING:
CHOKING HAZARD
Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
