Hi all

I have a Kidde smoke alarm with a non-removable battery. Last night it started beeping to indicate a low battery. When I try to remove the alarm from it's ceiling mount, all I can do is twist the alarm around one way and then back again. At no point in this twisting process does the alarm come away from the mount. I have tried pulling, shoving and everything, but the alarm will not come free from the ceiling mount.

Does anyone have any idea how to remove these things? I don't want to have a night disturbed by the thing beeping every few seconds.

Many thanks

M.
 
It's off! It appears to have been stuck to the ceiling (the fire service put it up for free when doing door to door fire safety rounds).
