Paul,

The 957 is usually mounted to the bottom of the door. The sensor part
with the cable connected is affixed to the floor using screws and anchors
(there are various types available at hardware stores) near one side of
the door. The magnet is affixed to the door itself such that the two are
aligned and nearly touching with the door closed. When the door opens the
magnet moves away, causing the sensor to open the alarm circuit.

Another option is to mount the sensor to the wall above the door. The
advantage to this location is the wire isn't likely to be snagged by
rakes, shovels and other household stuff that folks leave in the garage.
If you mount it to the wall, just be sure to leave enough room so that the
magnet doesn't bump the sensor as the door opens. The 957 has a 2" gap
which means that the magnet can be mounted nearly 2" away from the sensor.

If you need more specifics on the procedure, ask and I'll detail it a
little better for you.
