Battery Top Cover
The plastic cover on my smoke alarm is stuck.?
The plastic cover on my smoke alarm is jammed and I can't get it off.
It keeps beeping because the battery needs replacing - anyone got any tips for removing it without breaking it ?
Why do they have to put smoke alarms on the ceiling where you have a job reaching them ?
I know smoke and hot air rises but wouldn't they work just as well on a shelf or on top of a wardrobe etc where you can get at them ?
if you cannot open the smoke alarm in the normal way, most battery operated types have an opening hinge on the other side. Try prising the lugs that locate into the hinge base (carefully) - to open them normally you sometimes have to squeeze the plastic cover slightly out of shape to romove it.
Smoke alarms are as you say placed on ceilings to give you the eariest possible warning of a fire as smoke rises, they should never be placed on shelve or on lower positions, also they should not be positioned within half a metre of wall to ceiling corners (smoke plumes do not travel in straight lines and miss corners). When positioning them - think how smoke plumes react and where the possible fire is likely to smoke fill first, admittedly replacing batteries may be difficult, but even moreso if you are six feet under!
If you do damage the alarm - buy a new one or in many areas your local Fire Service will arrange to come and fit one for you Free, along with a fire safety survey for you.
