What is the "Proper" way to attach lead wire to in wall wire



Hi:

I'm pre-wiring my house, and have a 16/2 homerun wire to each of my doors.
My exterior doors are hung.  I have recessed magnetic switches, Senco
1125W-N, that I would like to install now, before the drywall and moldings
are in place.

I can think of a dozen ways to connect the 12 inch lead wires to the cable,
but what is the "proper" way to make the connection?

I have not decided on the actual alarm system yet.  Do I need to add a
resister to the ends of the cable where the switches are?  If resisters are
needed, can they be connected to the end of the wire inside the control box?
Each cable is connected to only one switch, except the double French door.
I will put a switch in for each door in series.

Seems like information I should be able to find published, but I've searched
the web and many books from the library.  I can't find exact instructions on
the correct way to connect the cable to the lead wires.

Thanks,
John
