ACSI 1310-7 Mortise Keyswitches Single gang, 2 momentary switches, 1 LED (red or green), wall mount

The 1310-7 is a key-operated switch used to control electric locks, electric strikes, electric exit devices and similar control applications. Because it takes a mortise cylinder, the opening can be keyed into the building's existing master key system, so the same key that works the mechanical doors also releases the electrified one.

Two momentary switches and one LED indicator, available red or green, all in a single gang wall mount plate. Momentary means each switch makes contact only while the key is turned and returns on release, so it suits a momentary door release rather than a latch-on/latch-off lockdown.

DPDT unless otherwise noted on the specific model. Double pole double throw gives you two independent sets of transfer contacts per switch, so one switch can release a lock and simultaneously signal an access control panel or shunt an alarm contact without adding a relay.

No. The 1310-7 is not ADA compliant, and a key-operated switch requires tight pinching and twisting, which is exactly what an accessible actuator avoids. For a barrier-free release use a large push plate such as the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol, or a palm switch like the DynaLock 6210 Series.

No, both switches on the 1310-7 are momentary, so contact holds only while the key is held over and drops on release. For a latching function that stays in position until switched back, look at an alternate action or maintained device such as the DynaLock 6115A alternate action pushbutton, the RCI 919 Series rotary release with maintained operation, or the RCI 908 Series in maintained.

Both are wall-mounted control devices that switch an electric strike, electric lock or electric exit device, but the access method is different. The ACSI 1310-7 is a mortise keyswitch: it takes a mortise cylinder so the opening can be keyed into a facility master key system, and it carries two momentary switches plus one LED (red or green) in a single gang. The Securitron PB3 is a push button series, so anyone at the door can press it with no key required. Choose the 1310-7 where you want release restricted to key holders, and a PB3 style button where free release from the secure side is the intent.

No. The RCI 919 is a rotary release button, turned by hand, and the RCI-919-MA version is maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish - it restricts nothing, it just changes the actuation from a press to a twist. The ACSI 1310-7 is a mortise keyswitch that accepts a mortise cylinder, so only a key holder can operate it, and its two switches are momentary. If your requirement is that the opening be keyed to the building master system, the 1310-7 is the device that does that.

No. The 1310-7 is not ADA compliant, and it is a keyed switch rather than a large actuator. For a barrier-free actuator use the RCI 950 Series round push plate, which carries the handicap symbol and is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. Many jobs use both: the 950 push plate for public barrier-free operation and the 1310-7 keyswitch for authorized override or after-hours control.

The 1310-7 has two momentary switches, so contact is made only while the key is turned. For a latching state you want an alternate action or maintained device: the DynaLock 6115A is a one pushbutton, one gang, alternate action unit in the 6000 push button series, and the RCI 908 electronic exit button in the RE-MA configuration is maintained operation with red EXIT text. Use the 1310-7 where a momentary pulse to the strike or exit device is what the control panel expects.

The 1310 is a mortise keyswitch, meaning it is built to accept a standard mortise cylinder so the opening can be keyed to the facility's master key system. Specify the cylinder separately in the keyway and finish that matches the rest of your doors, and have it keyed by your locksmith before install.

Use a keyswitch when the release has to be restricted to key holders, which is the point of the ACSI 1310 mortise keyswitch. If anyone in the room should be able to exit, an unrestricted button is cheaper and faster: the Securitron PB3 Series push button, the RCI 908 Series exit button with red EXIT text, or the Trine 342 narrow style switch for a door frame with no room for a gang box.

The ACSI 1310-7 is a single gang wall mount mortise keyswitch with no weather rating stated. For an outdoor opening, the DynaLock 6171 is a weatherproof pushbutton with a blank faceplate, built for exposed locations. The tradeoff is access control: the 6171 is a button anyone can press, while the 1310-7 restricts operation to a key and adds a red or green LED for status.

They serve different roles. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, intended as an emergency release at the door. The ACSI 1310-7 is a mortise keyswitch for routine control of electric locks, strikes and exit devices, keyable to a facility master system, with two momentary switches and a single red or green LED. If the code requirement on the drawing is an emergency exit release, the EEB addresses it; the 1310-7 does not replace that function.

Yes, if keyed control is not required. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish, and the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch for tight frame applications. Both are unrestricted actuators. The ACSI 1310-7 adds the mortise cylinder for key control, a second momentary switch, and a red or green status LED in one single gang plate.

For gloved or hands-full staff, the DynaLock 6210 Series palm switch is an alternate-action SPDT device sized to be struck with a palm or elbow. The ACSI 1310-7 is a commercial keyswitch requiring a mortise key, which is the right device where you need to limit who can operate the opening rather than speed up traffic through it. Facilities often specify the palm switch on the clean side and the keyswitch on the controlled side.

One LED is fitted, red or green, and it gives a local visual indication of door or lock status at the switch point. If the application also needs a sounder, that is a separate device: the DynaLock 6300 Series audible annunciator runs on 6 to 28 VDC.

Yes, the 1300 Series mortise keyswitches are commercial access control devices, intended for electric locks, strikes and electrified exit hardware in facilities that run a master key system.

Not the same way. The 1310-7 carries one LED, specified red or green, mounted in the single gang plate alongside its two momentary switches as a status indicator. The Securitron PB4L is an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button, where the illumination is part of the button itself to mark and light the actuator. If you need a separate status lamp reporting lock state next to a keyed control, the 1310-7 arrangement is the one built for it.

No. The 1310-7 is a mortise keyswitch with two momentary switches and a single red or green LED - its indication is visual only. For an audible signal, the DynaLock 6300 Series audible annunciator operates on 6 to 28 VDC and is added as a separate device. The two are commonly paired so the keyswitch controls the opening and the annunciator sounds on the condition you want reported.
