Those were usually low-end Ademco

Redundant?

To some :)

Yep, that switch is hard to find at RS. They used to carry it on the card wall, but no more.

You're talking about the 'pin switch' that is a screw in cylinder that when the pin is pressed, it doesn't ground out. When the door opens, the switch grounds.

I have a remote start on one of my cars, and that was use as the hood interlock switch. I went EVERYWHERE local looking for one when it broke. For a while I left it disconnected so my remote start would work.

Anyway, one day I swung into one of those 'car stereo' stores along the highway that also had a sign up that they install remote starters and they had a whole drawer of the things. Reasonably priced too.

I did find them online at one the remote starter web sites, but they were just plain on drugs for what they wanted for the things, and they had a huge minimum order.

Wrong, they made them. But it was quite some time ago. They even sold them as kits.

Radio Shack never made alarm systems

Wow, you must be an expert! But you don't know squat.

RS made lots of stuff. And even made it for other companies that put their own name on it. Heck, even on major brand of computer was made in a RS factory and the company put their own name on it...

EXACTLY!! AllElectronics has them. Less than $1. Just use the search term 'Pin Switch'
