REFLECTOR: Door lock microswitch wiring

[Geoff Gerhardt]

Folks,

I want to put microswitches in the door to detect the lock plunger
position.  I will wire this into my annunciator panel which has an audible
alarm.  But, I'm wondering if anyone else has wired their door open sensors
inside the door as I'm interested in seeing how you ran the wires.  I'm
concerned about fatigue of the wires having to flex every time the door
opens/closes.  At Oshkosh, I saw that Lancairs have some nice plunger-type
connectors on their doors (see attached).  I found the manufacturer for
these and was considering using one.

I remember a year or so ago, after that tragic crash due to a door open,
there was discussion about this.  Anyone else putting door-open sensors in
the doors?

Thanks.

Geoff
