Abstract
An alarm system signals an attempt at intrusion through an opening framed to receive first and second panel members movable between opening and closing positions, as specifically shown in the form of a sliding glass door and screen door combination. An electrical switch mounted upon one panel has an element responsive to a magnetic field for developing a signal. A magnet mounted upon the other panel is productive of a magnetic field that interacts with the element of the switch upon movement of both the first and second panels to their closed positions. A signaling device coupled to the switch yields an alarm indication upon the beginning of the movement of either one of the panel members away from its closed position.
