My spouse at times gets restive, particularly at night, walks around, finds a door, then goes trough it. On trips in hotels results can be disastrous. Most postings on this subject extol benefits of GPS systems; but then the cat is already out of the bag.
Radio shack (and others) have motion detectors which are relatively inexpensive (~$30), battery powered, and, so--portable. Chime or alarm sounds are provided and they are loud. Such has solved my problem. . . for the moment. Dr. Chuck

at home I put alarms on the door that put out a loud charm or beep if they door is opened. I bought them at a local hardware store, and think they were also under $30. But they'll only work if you spouse can't figure out how to turn them off.
