You will need to get an installer to replace the contact on the front door.

I would say your front door contact is gone faulty. The best thing to do is get a replacement contact for the front door and replace it yourself. If you ring a few of the suppliers here you will get one local to you. If you cant get one local let us know and we will point you in the right direction.

Very easily changed. No need for an installer for this.
When you get a replacement (Ensure its Entry exit) turn the plastic screw 90 degrees & removed the lid on the existing contact.
Align the new contact lid the same way & it will snap onto the existing base.
No Wiring.
No Bother.
No Installer..:D

Also ensure when buying the contact it has a blue dot on it, this indicates it is a entry/exit sensor.
