Not a whole lot of information here to work with.

One place to start might be the normally closed and normally open magnetic door
switches available from Radio Shack or other hobbyist sources. The half where
you connect the wires has either a normally open (Cat # 49-533, $4.97 USD) or
normally closed (Cat # 49-532, $5.99 USD) reed switch, which is activated by a
magnet in proximity. That will give you a switch indication if something
moves. It also has the advantage of not requiring an additional power source,
and can be connected directly into your electrical circuit without getting into
the details of how the circuit works.

Need a better answer, provide more info about your problem.

Good luck
