    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello again telectrix. In my original message that began this thread I explained that I was having to fit Alarm Magnetic contacts to some of my Home`s windows and doors because the wireless Alarm`s RF receiver had failed - it was no longer receiving the transmissions from the few wireless...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello again Resu, Thanks very much for replying to my question about using your recommendation `Mitre Fast` regarding the use of the `Activator` spray. I have the Alarm Magnetic contacts wired up [cables clipped to joists in floor voids above] and hanging down from ceiling to Magnetic contacts...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello telectrix, Thanks for your message. The Window frames and Door architraves are made from pieces of moulded UPVC `trim` which are fitted around the windows and doors - apart from a section closest to the window and door which measures 35mm x 5mm there are no flat surfaces to use any size...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello again Resu, Thanks for the recommendation / information. I really appreciate your thoughts on this and I am not trying to contradict you or be awkward but what do you think about this: I would be concerned that trying to apply a line of Superglue down the cable route [on the UPVC...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello EalingBadger, Thank You for your reply and for the link. Sorry that my reply to your message was slightly delayed after responding to Member SWD - I had to take what turned out to be a very long telephone call. I was not intending to ignore your message and I had already used the link...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    SWD - I know that You are replying with these ridiculous messages just to irritate me and you have succeeded. If You really think that people who live in `Better areas` don`t get Burgled you need lessons in realities of life. There are NO areas of London where `an Alarm is not required`. Your...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello DPG, Thanks for your message. I do have a good sense of humour but I find it impossible to know whether some Members comments are serious or joking. Especially when I receive replies which because of what I have described make no sense or are completely inappropriate in terms of...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello telectrix, How would buying and installing about £500.00 worth of Burglar Alarm Kit be easier than gluing 4 x 150mm sections of Alarm detector cable around the shape of the Window frames / Door architraves ? I have obviously alienated myself with some Members over my messages on this...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello again telectrix, I was trying to be polite. I know that anything like `Blu-tac` - even if white would have to be applied like a putty and wider than the diameter of the cables. The `White` colour would be nothing like the brilliant white of the UPVC - even the very white Alarm cable pvc...

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello telectrix, Thanks for your suggestion. Would I be correct in thinking that I would need to use pieces of the white `blu-tac` that were wider than the diameter of the Alarm cable and that it might also discolour and make the cables more noticeable on the brilliant white UPVC ? Chris

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello again, Because this thread has become so long-winded perhaps it should not be closed until I can at least post the result of the `Superglue Test`. Then there would at least be an answer to whether Superglue is suitable for gluing pvc insulated Alarm cable to UPVC. Chris

    Gluing alarm cables to UPVC Window frames & Door architraves

    Hello matt4321, I have mentioned a few times that I only have 4 x 150mm sections of the Alarm cable to glue to the Window frames and Door architraves - total cable length 600mm. I have been hoping for a recommendation for a small tube of adhesive - not because of cost but because I would have...
