I just had my house repainted so I had to remove all the door and window sensors.  How can I get new double sided sticky pads to remount them? I could find nothing in the knowledgebase or elsewhere for such information.. Does X10 send the replacements, can I order them? Please advise quickly so I don't get robbed :-[
Thanks,
Mike

Usually when you buy them, they come with a couple extras in the box...but I've found them to separate from the actual magnets after a while anyway, which I've had to fix with superglue...I would suggest just buying a role of double sided sticky padded tape from either a hardware store or office supply store and cutting it to size with an exacto knife

go to the hardware store and get double sided tape cut it to fit.

Hmmm... an 8 hour echo...

Anyways, as Brandt has mentioned, I too originally had issues with the two-way tape drying out and causing false alarms when the sensors fall. For the past 3+ years I have been using adhesive velcro instead of tape and have not had a sensor fail yet. So there are different methods of attachment when & where screws are not practical.
