I need the k***s that turn on a lamp -?

Question

I have several lamps that are missing the little black k***s to turn them off/on. I tried to go on line to see if I can order some, but I guess they are not called "k***s". Does anyone know what they are called? Thanks!

Answer 1

Go to ace hardware. They will have them there. Although you may have to the entire mechanism.

Answer 2

All you need to do is replace the "socket".  Usually $2-3.  EASY DIY.  The directions are on the package.
