Survivor[]

Survivor are round push buttons with black halo and white surface. They have either incandescent or LED illumination (both lamps are sold separately). The old-style Survivor buttons, however, are still available as special order. There are Adams Survivor buttons specially made to replace Westinghouse Type "A" buttons, Adams Survivor/O to replace Otis Touch/VIP buttons, and Adams Survivor/D made to replace Dover Traditional buttons. The Adams Survivor buttons/contacts are used for other Adams fixtures as well. There is also a California code compliant version.

The black variant of Survivor is extremely rare, the button consists of a black button with a halo. These buttons are discontinued.

Survivor/PLUS (also known simply as "Vandal Resistant") are round vandal resistant push buttons that have a patented “coined pocket” designed to support the button by the metal panel. It has two types; illuminated (with a small lamp on the center of the button), and non-illuminated (without lamp). There is also a California code compliant version, which is used for Schindler's vandal-resistant MT and HT.
