Hi all,

I am looking for a 2 way key switch to use as part of a 2 way switched
lighting circuit. I can find things like this but that is single way.
Does anyone know of a two way equivalent?

How secure must it be? Most public buildings (i.e. shops/schools) use normal
secret key switches unless security is actually important. Obviously, there
is only one key pattern, but it is fine to stop children playing with the
switches.

You normally see them in grid ranges.

i.e.

So you can assemble a grid switch that has any combination of switches and
indicators that you need.

Thanks for the reply. I currently have a secret switch but i have found
that someone else has a key and is using the lights hence the
requirement for a key.

CPC do a DPCO switch; take a look at SWO1119 or SWO1121.

MK Logic Plus do a DP grid keyswitch. This could be wired as a SP two-way.

No it couldn't if both sides of the DP switches close in the same
direction.

You're right off course. Must have more coffee.

What, to get "on" course?

Heh heh. That typo certainly changed the meaning of what I meant to say.

Must have even more coffee and not just rely on the spell checker so much.
