A magnetometer is configured to sense, in three directions, a magnetic field that changes as a moveable element moves, and to determine the position using the measured magnetic field. During calibration 310, an output value is registered from the sensor when the moveable element is in a first predetermined position 311, and that output value is used as a reference value 313 in determining the position of the moving element. Reference values may be taken for several predetermined positions. The moveable element may be a door or window leaf, may be a locking drive rail, or may move during operation of a latch mechanism, which may be operated using a handle, and the predetermined positions may relate to the door or window being open or closed (311, 317, 320) and/or secured or unsecured (314). A user interface may be provided to signal (e.g. during calibration) when the moveable element is in the predetermined position (312,315,318,321).
