The doors for the freezers in the dairy ( the dept i work for ) and frozen have alarms that go off if the doors are kept open. Recently these alarms have gone off and i have closed the door to both the diary and frozen since they are close together several times and they continue to ring. Is there any other way to shut them off, this happened a few days ago about 30 minutes from my shift ending.
I'm gonna guess your store management doesn't want you to play McGuyver and monkey around with the switch. Just report it to your store manager, and have them call in the maintenance guys.
Just locate the ground wire and cut it or locate the door open switch (its on the top on our freezer door frame) and tape it down that will trick the circuit into thinking the door is always closed. But if the contacts in the switch are dirty it may still think the door its open even though it its not.

Before you start tricking the sensor, tell management. What happens if God forbid the doors open and nobody knows? Thousands of dollars in shrink will happen. At my store there are probably more cameras in the backroom than the front end, the front end being the department that handles thousands in cash each day. They know employees do stupid things so they keep an even closer eye on us.

Thanks for the suggestions! I do not plan to try to mess with the wires since there is so much "money" invested in those freezers. If it happens when i am working i plan on telling one of the managers that the alarms for those doors are acting up. On the subjects of cameras makes one wonder how many and where they are since they have there eyes on the whole store!
It's the opposite here. There's more cameras in the front end than the back room.
Our registers each have a camera pointed down at them. Then along the very front of the store there's five spread out for a "panoramic" view of the registers. Then there's two pointed at all entrances. There's then a few more sets of cameras pointed at the hallspace between the registers and the aisles. Plus one camera specifically for our beer aisle, and one at our pharmacy aisle with the "expensive" stuff.
Our backroom? Only four. Two cameras at the main back hallway where we keep backstocks (one at each end), and two in receiving (again, one at each end).
Nothing else, period. None in the coolers, produce prep room, meat/seafood, etc.

So there are "plenty" of cameras on the front end of your store. Where i work from what i have seen in the back there is a monitor to show if a delivery guy is there so there is probably a camera there. Guess you must have the hook up on "info" if you know about the cameras since i know they dont want people knowing the locations of the cameras?
