Install high or low?
High at the top of the door if the wireless alarm is intended to warn you of a child or older person attempting to leave the house.
Low and close to the floor if the door alarm is intended to scare intruders away. In addition to the wireless door alarm you should also install a door chain lock close to the bottom of the door.
