would last forever. The remotes had a keyed version too but I don't
remember the part number to that one. Was it the # 256? Or was that the
one with the silver front, single key and red LED and tamper switch?
They ones with the red and white lights both came with either the push
button or the 2400 flat key locks or the 1300 round UL key or with a UL
round key.

You should introduce your own line of simple alarms like that. Something
for the Luddites.

Luddite Alarm Systems


LAS-1 Bells and string.
LAS-2 Bells and wires.
LAS-3 Includes everything in a LAS-1 and a LAS-2, but includes a 12 Gage
sounder.  Only available in the south.
