When…
— Contact alarm turned on
Then…
— Start Timer with duration 10 s
When…
— Timer is finished
And…
— Contact alarm is on
Then…
— Notification/Push message
— Start or replace timer with duration of 10 s
This example is made with the Chronograph App.

Homey has so many ways to get the job done 😀
When…
— Contact alarm turned on
Then…
— enable the flow “door open” _[this is a flowcard from flow_]
When…
— Contact alaram turned off
Then…
— disble the flow “door open”
When…
— every 20 second [_this is a flowcard from Time_]
Then…
— Notification/Push message

Yes it can be done with count down timer in the same way.
The examples being shown are using multiple flows, so that is how the Then is used twice as there are two flows.
