Re: Limit Switch?

Anything sold as a limit switch is a limit switch. A button-type switch is not a limit switch, unless it is sold as a limit switch (which I'm 90% certain that your particular switch is not).

It may be possible to find or make a "locking" limit switch; that's for you to find, as I'm not quite certain those exist commercially and your particular design may or may not be conducive to adding a latch of some form.
