Magnetic cabinet door switches

I am looking for the best deal on Magnetic door switches, would like to buy them in some kind of volume discount. Anyone have recommendations? The best price I have found so far for one was on amazon @ $6.50.

"Magnetic door switches?" Can you clarify? Are these switches to turn on lights when the door is opened? Something else?

Yes they are used to activate lighting when doors are opened. The DS has one standard on the pantry door.

OK...understand. Sounds like you are going to automate some other aspects of your DSDP.

My only thought on looking for the least expensive switches would be that reliability and price are usually on opposite ends of the scale. I've not had good luck with the Chinese-made electrical stuff, which is usually lower-priced. Maybe I've just been unlucky.

Agreed, looking for price brake on good quality purchasing 10 or more

A few years back, I picked up micro switches at Granger's for the kitchen cupboards. Maybe try them. Can't remember the price. Sorry Bob, I should have read your post first.
