More Smoke Detectors!
Smoke detectors are installed in your house to protect you and your family! It is recommended that one be installed in every room of the house. Check to see how many you have, you may be surprised at that number! Well no worries, they are inexpensive and eazy to install. Let's run through a typical installation.
Tools needed: Screwdriver or drill, pencil, threaded drywall anchors (recommended)
1) Read over the directions thoroughly for installation and operation!
2) Locate the rooms or areas that you want to install the detector in.
3) The best place to install a detector is on the ceiling about 8" away from the corner of the wall and ceiling. The wall will work also if you stay about 10" down from the ceiling.
4) Once you have your spot picked, remove the back cover from the face of the detector.
5) Place the back cover on the wall or ceiling and mark the two screw locations with your pencil.
6) Screw your threaded anchors into the two locations until flush with the wall/ ceiling.
7) Put your back cover back in place and screw the screws into the anchors, securing the cover to the wall/ceiling.
8) Now attach the face to the cover ( usually a twist lock ).
9) Insert a new 9 volt battery, and push the test button and wait for the sound.
Another eazy-fix that will keep you safe and secure in the event of an emergency!
