There are several different types of door switches, in two main categories of "Recessed Switches" and "Surface Mount/Overhead Switches".  The categories are exactly what they imply.

Door switches can also be set to an "entry/exit" zone, which means that when it goes into alarm, you have a pre-designated amount of time to disarm the system or exit the premise before the panel goes into alarm.
