    Hi there

    New to Boards.ie and hoping someone can help. I have an Aritech CS 350 alarm system. I'm considering disabling the system completely and wondered is it safe to just cut the wires to all sensors. I've taken the sensor boxes off the windows and had no problem there but now have wires dangling and not sure if it's safe to clip them back. Any advice would be great.

    Yes, no problem.

    But I would not do this, because you may want a wired alarm system again and it may cost a lot to get it wired again! There are much more modern alarms available now (although it may be possible for the current alarm to be fixed). Installing a new system with new sensors and it can look very neat, increase security and increase the value of your property.

    In todays world I would not reccomend anyone gets rid of their alarm!

    Many people now install and maintain their own alarm for small money. All the information/support you need is available here for free! If you dont feel up to that there is no shortage of alarm installers that will install a modern alarm for you often in just a few hours.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Good thinking. Will just tidy away wires that are there. We're thinking of getting something more modern in so no harm to have the wiring there. Thanks again!:)

    Your best option if you want to hide the wires is to buy some 5 or 9 way junction boxes , cut the wires back to 3 -4 inches, mount the boxes tight to where the wire come out of the plaster & put the wires in the junction box.
    Nice & tidy & still there if you need them.
