My question, are you using 3M brand strips or the ones shipped with the SimpliSafe system? Things may have changed since 2018, but when I bought SS3, my Keypad and a Motion Sensor fell twice. I found it baffling, as, like Captain, I had no issues with any sensors falling with SS2 for 4+ years. Upon further inspection, I learned SimpliSafe included different (and quite honestly) inferior strips with the new systems - they were not 3M.
If the strips are indeed 3M, Captain's advice is a wise way. If they are not 3M, do as I and many others have and replace the less-known brand with them. I have never used screws and have not had any components/sensors drop when the strips are genuine 3M in 7 years.
