I put a combination lock on a supply room that I know will remain
unsecure much of the time. People who use the supply room will simply
forget to lock it as they leave. What I would like is an audible --
non irritating -- alarm, or an intermittent beep (like a lot of
microwaves have when you forget to remove your food after one minute
or so). Oh yea -- I just about forgot about my hotdog.

The alarm or periodic beep happens only when the door is open, and
turns off when the door is closed. The switch can't be that
complicated, but works essentially in reverse of what you would
think. I couldn't find anything of the nature at Home Depot or Lowes,
so I thought I'd see if someone in internet land might know of such a
switch, or product that has this functionality.

Thanks for any suggestions!

A door strike and keypad will keep it secure.
Only those allowed in will get in, and it will always be lock unless some
one blocks it open.

Sounder alert An integrated sounder can be programmed to activate if the
door is left open too long. The sounder volume is fully adjustable to 85 dB.

If you install a door position switch and READ the instructions you could
get this DS160 device to do what you're asking.
