It might be the brackets that activate the switches, are they bent or loose? ___\⭐️Lone|Star|State/___

Checked them and they look solid. No cracking or movement. The front lower hinge is shot which may mean it was catching it. I have bent them back, turned them through 90degrees so they bend outwards towards the door plate. Should suffice until morning.
I think the alarm went off because the button wasn't held behind the plate and slowly crept back out, suggesting the door was opened while armed. I wonder if just removing the knackered buttons would keep the alarm happy??

Yes. Just unplug them. The switch is open when the door is closed. Easy to remember ![]() |

Cheers. The olay in the door due to a broken hinge is causing the striker plate to come in at an angle. I have three left of the aftermarket replacements which are made of a more brittle plastic.
