For anyone reading this, it is never a good idea to reply to an old post (On any forum) because as shown here, the question was asked over a year ago and the OP (Peter G) has never been back so will never reply to you. It is always best to start a new thread and pose your own question.

If as you say "At 7am every morning it beeps a quieter beep" smoke alarms do not have a timer (So they have no ability to beep at the same specific time each day) I suspect it is something else, an old clock, an old mobile phone, something in the loft? but I should also say that If you have an Ei141RC you should change it as soon as you can as it is an ionisation smoke alarm, I am also curious as to where you got the £125 figure you said, as they did cost less than £40 each.

According to this website click me the lock is NOT fire rated. (I used google)

This forum does not go to component level of any device, so I can only suggest: 1) Move your aerial 2) Have the detector changed 3) Consult the detector manufacturer 4) Install an RF filter.

Probably not. It depends what make/model of smoke alarm you currently have (i240c?) and more to the point what do you want to replace it with and are there any more smoke alarms? You can not "mix and match" brands of smoke alarm if they are interlinked, but all good smoke alarms should be interlinked. Also unless it has a 10 year battery, I would never suggest changing a mains smoke alarm for a battery smoke alarm.

That's nice. What make/model is the detector you have, how old is it? when did you last change the batteries? have you cleaned it? what is the problem you are having, how often does it happen?

Just saying, "Andy" asked his question in 2023, he has never been back, so the best thing to do will be to change all of the smoke alarms to something like Aico, as they are easy to install, and are reliable, and when they do "upgrade" they are always backwards compatible.

There is no direct replacement for the deta 1151, so it is up to you which brand to have, personally I like Aico, as they are very easy to fit, and are reliable, you will have to change all of the detectors you have at the same time. Click me

There is a simple solution, but it is not done as if there is a power failure, people will want to get out, having a door locked in a power failure is not a good idea.

I must agree with Anthony, although drypowder is good for most things (Except chip fryer fires) and it is cheap to purchase, once you use one, (indoors) you soon wish you hadn't. They do make a lot of mess, and considerably reduce visibility, I would suggest not one, but two 1 litre water mist extinguishers, that way you will always have one for spare, and when being used, clean up really is very simple (Because it really is de-ionised water) If you do not know, once a fire extinguisher has "been started" you can stop the discharge, but you can't then "put it back" for the next time, it will lose its pressure within a short time. I would also suggest you check your smoke alarms regularly, and if you haven't got any Click here

Put the spare wire in a wago connector (or similar) or a single "choc bloc" Do NOT wrap it in insulation tape because as time goes by the tape will become detached.

Make and model of the smoke alarm, has it happened since you initially asked? Is the red light flashing? If so, how often?

If you have symptoms of poisoning you should seek medical help. Regarding your smoke alarm: 1) Make 2) Model 3) Its age 4) When did you last clean it 5) When did you last change its battery 6) Does it activate every time you cook? 6a) Does it activate any other time, or only when you cook?

This is more of a legal question than a fire safety question, you need legal advice which this forum does not offer.
