Looking for some American pull stations that I can get here in the UK for a low price

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’m looking for some pull stations from the US that ship here to the UK without destroying the bank. I’ve checked eBay (which is my go-to place for things to buy for my collection) and found some, but they’re really expensive (mostly because of delivery). I could buy a knock-off Chinese pull station, but I doubt they’ll last a second before breaking. I’m also not sure if all the listings I saw came with reset keys. Anyways, any help, from refining my search to someone giving me a good listing, is welcome. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there’s not really any way to bypass the crazy costs of shipping between countries right now. One thing you could try is looking for other enthusiasts in the UK that already have an American pull station and seeing if they are willing to sell you one. As for keys, you can get those a lot easier. They are reused on many other devices. For example, the Simplex B-key/Autocall B-key/ Mircom 306B key (cat-30) is supposedly also used by Kentek. As a last resort, fire alarm locks are generally so bad that they can be picked in seconds by even a beginner.

This one is $10 (not with shipping)

Yes but import taxes will have it cost a lot.

Thanks for your replies. SlyFox Alarms, I’ll check out that Gamewell pull station you sent me and see if it ships to the UK at a fair price.

That pull station he sent is addressable so you would need a panel that runs on XP95
