    Abstract: A method of detecting a position of a movable building structure includes mounting a readable code in association with a first surface of the movable building structure or with a second surface of a second structure. A code reader is mounted in association with the other of the first surface and the second surface. The readable code is read by the code reader to thereby verify that the first surface of the movable building structure is disposed in opposition to the second surface of the second structure.

  • Patent number: 7714718
    Abstract: A security assembly includes a first building structure at least partially defining a building opening. The first building structure has a first surface. A movable building structure is movable between a closed position in which the movable building structure covers the opening and an open position in which the movable building structure uncovers the opening. The movable building structure has a perimeter with a second surface disposed in opposition to the first surface when the movable building structure is in the closed position. An optical sensor apparatus includes an electronics module mounted in association with the first surface or the second surface. The electronics module has an optical emitter and an optical receiver. The optical emitter emits a first beam. A reflector arrangement is mounted in association with the other of the first surface and the second surface.
