Hello-
The sensor I used is a non contact IR sensor. It is a Normally Closed Sensor and Opens when it sees the reflection of the signal. (When it sees the door.) This sensor is around $10 which I thought was reasonable.

The cabinet I am using is an IKEA, SEKTION 802.65.398, but the screw spacing is all the same for all the SEKTION cabinets as far as I know.
This is a simple mount I designed to be used with the above mentioned sensor. I used left over screws from the cabinet builds that worked perfectly. The screw dimensions are Head: 7.3mm, Body: 6.2mm, Length: 12.9mm. I included these measurements because I found some that were slightly different. Since I did this project a year ago, I don't remember exactly where the screws came from.
The sensor mount spacer was used and can be scaled for different thicknesses if necessary. If you make it too thick, you may need longer
