My quest to convert my doors to electrified locks has been completed and for most it has been a success.
One issue left solving is that it is no use to lock a door if it has not been properly closed and latch bolt latched.
I do have recessed magnetic switches in the door frame, which were of the wide-gap variety, and not sensitive enough to detect a door ajar, even after I replaced them.
So my idea is to add a lath bolt monitor, to actually detect the door latched. SDCSecurity makes these, but they are asking an arm and leg for it, which is nothing but a micro-switch mechanically activated by the latch bolt.
Are there others out there that you would recommend?
