Just a follow up from this morning's post. I went to my neighborhood ACE Hardware store and found the "perfect" screw for mounting of the motion sensors. I have installed them using #4, 1-1/4" length flat Phillips head screws. The head of the screw is perfectly flush inside the sensor mounting plate posing no interference when removing/installing the sensor. I also left the tape backing in place. Hope this helps someone down the road.
Don't know the #, but most hardware stores/big box stores have the measurements on the bins, which may also have the # on the bin as well. These screws are pretty tiny, they have a phillip's head - if you have a local hardware store, hopefully you have at least one screw saved, take with you, check their bins. Or, call SS for the correct size and, not sure if they will be able to provide you the screws, but you can at least ask, and ask for the size (#).
For those of you in need of some additional mounting screws for your SimpliSafe equipment, all you need to do is to contact our Support Team. They can be reached at Customer-Support@SimpliSafe.com or by phone at
1-800-548-9508 and would be happy to send out some replacement screws at no additional cost.
I am new to the forum. Just installed our new system and would like to screw mount the motion sensors to the walls. However the screws that came with the sensors are way to short to penetrate through the drywall and into the wood studs. Checking some of the forum responses, I see references to screw sizes #3, #4, etc. all with 1/2" length. Any recommendations on longer screw lengths that will work with the motion sensors?

It was a perfect fit! You can find them in the wood screws section of Home Depot. They come in a small bag 8 count.
