The positions will keep the door locked, keep the door unlocked and unlock the door momentarily. i found the exact switch that I need from Doorking (pictured below) except that it's designed for electronic locks, not magnets. The switch I need has to have it's momentary position cut the power from the magnet, not provide power like door strikes need. I've been looking everywhere with no luck. Any help appreciated. Aaron

Check with Craftmaster hardware 800-221-3212, someone there can probably help you with locating exactly what you need. Jeff Lead Field Engineer, MSCNS

For the hold open you would use a key switch which is again SPDT. Don't know what kind of security this would provide if anybody can just walk over and flip a switch to keep the door unlocked. Both are readily available from security dealers like ADI. -Hal CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some comments made by me are known to the State of California to cause irreversible brain damage and serious mental disorders leading to confinement.
