Try Digikey, Mouser, Newark, and other electronics distributors -
Search for "Microswitch", lever, snap action, limit switch.

Microswitch (TM Honeywell) seems to be used as a generic name for
switches that are operated by things, rather than directly by people.
Searching for "Microswitch", Digikey offers 5400 items, and suggests
the other keywords I suggested above.
