I had that problem , a auto electrical fella came round to sort out my indicator problem and full beam, anyhow I told him about the alarm , he told me to spray w40 in every lock about once a week then every month just to be on the safe side , I did this and the alarm works perfectly , also make sure you give the boot lid a good slam and spay w40 on the bonnet release also, 5 quid of w 40 last you for years👍
