Double Door Wardrobe Sensor
Overview
The Beakn Double Door Wardrobe Sensor is an automatic door sensor purpose-built for double-door wardrobes, cabinets, and storage units. Recessed discreetly into the furniture frame, it detects either door opening or closing at close range (3–7 cm) and switches the connected LED light on and off accordingly — no switch to press, no app to open. It shares the same detection range, mounting size, and finish options as the Single Door Wardrobe Sensor, but is designed specifically to handle a double-door layout, triggering the light whenever either door is opened or closed.
It's a low-voltage accessory, wired inline with the wardrobe's LED light supply (12–24V DC), and operates fully standalone — light on when you open the wardrobe, light off when you close it.
Features
•Automatic light control for double doors — the connected light switches on the moment either door opens, and off when it closes.
•Door-triggered sensing — reacts to the door itself at 3–7 cm range, not general room movement, so the light is on only while the wardrobe is actually open.
•Discreet, recessed fit — installs through a small 8 mm / 10 mm hole in the frame, hidden from view for a clean finish.
•Finish options — Silver or Black to match wardrobe hardware and interiors.
•Energy saving — the LED light runs only while the wardrobe is open, cutting wasted power and extending LED lifespan.
•Standalone operation — no app, WiFi, hub, pairing, or remote required; works as soon as it's wired.
•Versatile fit — suits new furniture builds and retrofits into existing double-door units.
Use cases
•Bedroom double-door wardrobes — light comes on automatically when either door opens, helping you find clothes without fumbling for a switch.
•Kitchen and crockery cabinets — illuminates shelving instantly on opening, off again once closed.
•Dressing units and walk-in-style double doors — automatic light for grooming and dressing areas.
•Display cabinets — highlights contents the moment doors are opened.
•Office storage cupboards — automatic illumination for filing or supply cabinets with double doors.
•Drawers — can also be used where a drawer setup benefits from automatic door-triggered lighting.
•New builds or retrofits — equally suited to furniture designed around the sensor or added into existing double-door units.

•Coverage for double doors: positioned/wired so that opening or closing either door of the double-door set triggers the connected light.
•Wiring: low-voltage DC (12–24V) only — the sensor is wired inline between the wardrobe's LED light and its low-voltage power supply, so it directly switches that light.

•No setup required: once wired inline, it works immediately — fully automatic, no pairing or configuration.
FAQ
How does the Double Door Wardrobe Sensor turn the light on?
It detects when either door of the double-door wardrobe opens and switches the connected LED light on; when both doors are closed, the light turns off automatically.
Does it need an app, WiFi, or a remote?
No. It's a fully automatic, standalone sensor — open a door and the light comes on, close it and the light goes off. Nothing to set up or connect.
Does it need a neutral wire or mains wiring?
No. It's a low-voltage device (12–24V DC) that wires inline with the wardrobe LED light and its supply. There's no mains connection or neutral wire at the sensor.
Is it a motion sensor?
No — it's a door sensor, not a room-motion sensor. It reacts to the wardrobe door(s) opening and closing, detected at 3–7 cm, so the light is on only while the wardrobe is open.
What's the difference between this and the Single Door Wardrobe Sensor?
The Single Door version suits single-door wardrobes, cabinets, or drawers. This Double Door version is made for double-door wardrobes and controls the light as either door opens or closes. Both share the same 3–7 cm detection, 8/10 mm mounting hole, and Silver/Black finishes.
What size hole do I need to fit it?
A Dia 10 mm / 8 mm hole in the furniture frame.
What colours are available?
Silver and Black.
Can I use it in kitchen cabinets, dressing units, or drawers?
Yes — it suits wardrobes, kitchen/display cabinets, dressing units, office storage, and drawers, in both new and existing furniture, wherever a double-door layout is used.
Is there a wall switch as backup?
No — the design is fully automatic with no wall switch; the door itself is the trigger.
