Algorithm and pseudocode from a flowchart

enter image description here

I'm new to programming, and I became stuck here where I have to write an algorithm and pseudo code for this flowchart, but I'm confused on how to do the loop delay 2 seconds, or the add 2 seconds until it hits 10.

Thanks for your help!!!!

The pseudo code would be:

while (counter < 10)
{
    sensor read = read the door;
    while (sensor read == closed)
    {
        counter = 0;
        sleep 2000ms;
    }

    counter += 2;
    sleep 2000ms;
}

sound alarm;

I think that psuedocode can sometimes be harder than writing real code for people who are just starting. The psuedocode for those instructions can be pretty-well exactly as in the flowchard:

How to do the loop delay 2 seconds:

while (door_sensor_read is no)
    sleep for 2 seconds

and the add 2 seconds until it hits 10:
