You can use a parallel port easily.  For the keypad part, use an Intel 8279 - it&#039;s a keyboard controller.  (It&#039;s old technology - circa 1978 - but it&#039;s still the easiest way to interface a keypad.)

For the sensor, hang a 1k resistor on the 5 volt line and connect the sensor between the other end of the resistor and ground.  Connect the junction of the sensor and the resistor to a pin on a parallel port.  (I&#039;d use an isolation resistor and a buffer chip to keep transients from blowing the port.)  Then you watch for a transition on that port pin - whether it goes from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 depends on whether the sensor is open or closed when the door is closed.  They come either way.</description>

Wouldn&#039;t it be simpler with USB.
You can much easily find components for usb and it is easier to program.</description>
