First of all, please use code fencing ([How to ask a good question / Help Us Help You](https://community.openhab.org/t/how-to-ask-a-good-question-help-us-help-you/58396))

I can’t see what your plan is, but I think you can solve it with a timer:

```php
rule “Alarm”
when
    Item Door_Status changed
then
   createTimer(now.plusMinutes(1), [|
        if (Door_Status.state == OPEN && Corridor_Right.state == ON)
        {
          Kitchen_Left.sendCommand(ON)
          Gateway_SoundVolume.sendCommand(20)
          Gateway_Sound.sendCommand(1)
        }
  ]
end
```
