Simplex (454-101) Switch Keys (Set of 2)

The Simplex 454-101 is a set of two replacement switch keys for Simplex fire alarm control panels and associated equipment. These B-type (CAT 30 profile) keys are the standard access control mechanism used on a broad range of Simplex FACP housings, annunciator panels, pull stations, and auxiliary equipment to restrict unauthorized access to sensitive controls such as alarm silence, system reset, drill/test functions, and zone isolation switches. Keeping a documented set of replacement keys on-site is essential for facilities with multiple panels or distributed annunciators — key loss should never result in an inability to access panel controls during an emergency.

The 454-101 set includes two identical keys, providing a primary and backup key for operational continuity. These keys are OEM-specified for Simplex equipment and are machined to the precise CAT 30 profile required for proper operation of the lock cylinders used across the Simplex product line. Facilities managers, fire alarm service contractors, and building security teams rely on genuine OEM keys to ensure the lock mechanism operates smoothly without risk of damage from poorly-fitted aftermarket alternatives.
