Abstract

A monitoring device for narrow stile, metal frame doors having a mounting plate securable to the door jamb adjacent the strike slot. A switch is mounted on a bracket extending from the face plate and the switch is connectable to an existing alarm system. A trigger normally engages the switch actuator pin. When the closure or door is closed and the dead bolt engaged in the strike slot, the trigger will disengage the pin allowing the alarm system to be armed.
