The STI Universal Button Kit is a must-have for security dealers and low-voltage integrators who want to streamline installations and reduce inventory complexity. If you’ve ever had to postpone a job because you didn’t have the right REX button or message plate, this solution was built for you.
With over 300 possible configurations in a single part number, the UB-1 lets you build what you need on-site—without delays, special orders, or excess SKUs in your van.
Why Choose the STI Universal Button Kit?
Push buttons are one of the most common components in access control and life safety systems. But choosing the right one—momentary vs. maintained, red vs. green, “EXIT” vs. “EMERGENCY”—can be a challenge.
The STI UB-1 eliminates this problem by packaging all the essential parts into one kit. From switch type to color to message plate, it gives you complete flexibility in the field.
