Default 'Garage door open' warning light


"F" news@nowhere wrote in message
o.uk...
We've got a new sectional garage door that's for ever being left open if
the button to close it isn't pressed as soon as we've finished with it and
are back in the house.

Has anyone got a simple warning light solution that I could install inside
the house that will illuminate when the door has been left open.
Preferably not requiring wiring being installed as I've just tidied up
after wiring the button.

And yes, I know it's much simpler just to remember to press the button to
close it, but it's not happening.

I had exactly this problem with my garage door.
Arranged a push button / momentary action switch on the frame with a
suitable striker plate.
Bulkhead fitting on exterior wall with 15w lamp visible from house.
Door open - light on.
