ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for detecting the forced opening of a door. The apparatus comprises a paper sheet with a frangible conductive path thereon. The sheet has holes therein for the passage of a retractable bolt and fasteners, which are used to secure a strike plate to a frame. The sheet is then concealed behind the strike plate and the conductive loop surrounds the fastener holes. When the door is forced open without retraction of the bolt, a crack appears on the surface of the frame surrounding the fasteners. This crack causes a break in the conductive loop. This break is then detected by a detecting device electrically connected to a part of the loop, thereby triggering an alarm.
