I would say: flush mount a reed switch in the door surround next or just

Just buy an alarm door contact or even one of those cheap battery
powered window alarms they had in poundland, self adhesive, contain a
reed switch and a sounder. I think they were a pound for four, I bought
some because I wanted the batteries for something else.
