Secure your facility and increase your revenue with PTI’s industry-leading door alarms. Whether you are building from scratch or upgrading an existing site, we provide the most reliable unit-level security in the Australasian and Asian markets.
Wired alarms are the gold standard for reliability. By hard-wiring every unit directly to your controller, you eliminate battery maintenance and ensure a stable, tamper-proof connection 24/7.
Upgrade your security without the cost of conduit or complex wiring. PTI’s wireless alarms allow you to add individual unit protection to operational facilities with zero tenant disruption.
What is the main difference between wired and wireless door alarms?
Wired alarms are physically connected to the controller, making them ideal for new builds with no battery maintenance. Wireless alarms use radio frequencies, making them perfect for retrofitting existing sites without the need for extensive cabling or conduit.
Can I mix wired and wireless alarms at the same facility?
Yes. Our systems are flexible, allowing you to use wired alarms for a new multi-storey wing while using wireless sensors to upgrade older, existing units on the same site.
Do individual unit alarms integrate with my current management software?
Absolutely. Both solutions integrate seamlessly with StorLogix Cloud and most major self-storage management software (PMS), allowing for automated arming and disarming when a tenant enters their gate code.
How long do the batteries last in wireless door alarms?
PTI wireless sensors are engineered for high performance with long-life batteries. Depending on activity levels, batteries typically last several years and the system will alert you via StorLogix when a battery is running low.
Will metal storage units interfere with the wireless signal?
No. PTI uses advanced frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum technology specifically designed to penetrate steel environments and bypass interference, ensuring a reliable signal throughout the facility.
Are these alarms tamper-proof?
Yes. Wired systems detect if a wire is cut or bypassed. Wireless sensors are supervised, meaning the system monitors them constantly and will trigger an alert if a sensor stops communicating or is tampered with.
Can I install these myself, or do I need a technician?
To ensure your warranty and security integrity, we recommend installation by a certified PTI technician or an authorised security partner. We provide full support across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.
Do door alarms really allow me to charge higher rent?
Market data across the APAC region shows that facilities with individual unit alarms consistently command higher premium rates and experience lower turnover because tenants feel their specific belongings are better protected.
What happens if a tenant forgets to close their door properly?
The system can be configured to send an automated alert (email, SMS, or push notification) to the site manager or the tenant if a door remains unlatched after a set period.
How quickly can a wireless system be installed?
Because there is no cabling required for the units, a wireless retrofit is significantly faster than a wired installation, often completed in a matter of days with minimal disruption to your daily operations.
