Hmm... This is the second time in a couple of days that a question has come up that made me immediately think "Magnetic Reed Switch". I think a normally-open magnetic reed switch will solve your problem. You might need a more powerful magnet than the one that comes with the switch to get your 1" range to work consistently, but that shouldn't be hard to come by.

I was actually thinking a Hall-effect sensor. A reed switch would require too strong a magnet at that distance to also be compact.
I can see your point. The tradeoff, I think, would be a slightly more complicated circuit and possibly having to take polarity into account. Other than that, makes sense to me.
Your best bet is probably either online (try digikey.com or eBay) or at a place like Radio Shack. They are used as window sensors in home security systems, so you may even be able to pick one up from a local locksmith or security company.
