  1. Take some bendable wire and tape it to the AA battery case make sure you make it in a C shape, and that the end lands were the paper was bent.
  2. Take two screws and screw in the buzzer.
  3. Open the door and see if the bendable wires end (the one connected to the positive AA battery casing) lands on the buzzers open positive end. The result should be the buzzer going off.

Final Adjustments:

If the wire doesn't stay on the buzzers positive wire bend it a little or adjust the tape, if it still doesn't work repeat.
