Dortronics WR5276-HD29-E1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Dortronics WR5276 push button hold up mounted outside in the rain?
That's what the WR5276 is built for. The button is sealed to IP65, which covers water projected from a nozzle from any direction, and the actuator is brushed stainless steel. A neoprene gasket ships with it to seal the switch plate against the wall or box. Operating range is -25C to 70C, so freeze and summer heat are both inside spec. It's a commercial-grade device, and it's the one to reach for on a loading dock, a parking structure, or any wash down area rather than a standard indoor exit button.
2) Can one Dortronics WR5276 button both drop the maglock and signal the access control panel?
Yes, and that's the reason to spec it. The WR5276 carries dual Form Z contacts: 2 normally open and 2 normally closed with a floating common, so the circuits stay isolated from each other. Typical wiring is the normally closed pair breaking lock power while the normally open pair sends the request-to-exit signal to the panel. Contacts are rated 2A at 24VDC and 2A at 125VAC, so size the lock load accordingly, and use a relay if you are switching more than that.
3) What size wall plate does the Dortronics WR5276 waterproof button come on, and can I get a two gang?
Standard supply is a 1 gang plate. Two other sizes are called out by prefix: an N prefix gives a narrow 1-3/4 x 4-1/2 inch plate for a mullion or a tight jamb, and a D prefix gives a 2 gang plate at 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches. Custom plates and text can be made to specification if none of the three fit the opening.
4) Is the Dortronics WR5276 a momentary button or does it latch?
Both operations exist in the WR5276 series, momentary or alternate action, so you pick which one you order. Momentary makes contact only while pressed, which is the normal choice for push to exit. Alternate action stays in state until the button is pressed again, which suits holding a door unlocked for a delivery window or an event. Order the momentary version and you also choose whether you want the illuminated LED ring or not.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Dortronics WR5276 stainless push button for an interior exit door where a sealed exterior button is not needed?
The Dortronics WR5276 is built around a brushed stainless steel 3/4 inch actuator sealed to IP65 for wash down and exterior use, with dual Form Z contacts giving 2 normally open and 2 normally closed circuits. For a dry interior vestibule the Norton Rixson 503 is a vestibule-function SPDT momentary push switch rated 15 amps, and the Norton Rixson 504 is a dual SPDT momentary vestibule switch with a stainless steel face plate. The 504 is the one to look at if you need two independent momentary circuits the way the WR5276 provides them, while the 503 covers a single circuit.
6) For a hospital or clean room exit where staff cannot touch a button, what replaces a Dortronics WR5276 push button?
The WR5276 is a mechanical push button with a 550 +/-50 gF actuator force, so it requires contact. Where hands-free operation is required, the RCI 913 is a microwave motion switch using Doppler radar technology intended for sterile environments, the RCI 910TC is a touchless actuator with 433 MHz remote control operating on 12/24 VDC, and the Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches. The Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch supplied with single and double gang black faceplates, which matters if you are matching an existing two gang box.
7) Is a Schlage Electronics 7764 or 7766 a substitute for a Dortronics WR5276 button?
No, they do different jobs. The WR5276 is a push button a person operates to release a door, with dual Form Z contacts rated 2A at 24VDC and 2A at 125VAC. The Schlage Electronics 7764 and 7766 are magnetic door position switches, single pole double throw, the 7764 concealed flush mount and the 7766 surface mount. Those report whether the door leaf is open or closed to the access control system; they are not actuated by a person and will not serve as a request to exit button. On many openings both are installed, the WR5276 to request exit and a position switch to monitor the door.
8) What does the LED ring on the Dortronics WR5276 need to run red and green?
The bi-color LED ring runs on 24VDC, 120 mA peak and 20 mA operating current, and it shows red or green. It can indicate switch status or be driven independently by another device. If you want it to flip between red and green for status, you need the #4801RB610 relay as well, so add that to the order. If you don't need the indicator at all, the button is also sold without the LED.
9) How do I get a Dortronics WR5276 exit button engraved "Push to Exit" or "Emergency Door Release"?
Five standard legends are available on the WR5276 plate by suffix: xE1 Push to Exit, xE2 Panic, xE3 Emergency Release, xE4 Push to Release, xE5 Emergency Door Release. xE6 is custom text for anything else, including facility specific wording. Specify the legend suffix with the plate size prefix when you order.
10) Does the Dortronics WR5276 button meet the delayed unlock requirement my AHJ wants?
An optional FT timer is offered on the WR5276 for compliance with NFPA and BOCA codes, giving a fixed 30 second unlock. The AT option gives an adjustable 2 to 60 second delay instead if the inspector wants a different hold. Both are ordered options, not built into the base button, so call them out on the order.
11) Is the Dortronics WR5276 button hard enough to press that it won't get bumped by accident?
Actuator force is 550 +/-50 grams on a 3/4 inch diameter stainless button. That's a deliberate press, not a brush past, which is part of why it works in exterior and industrial spots where carts and shoulders go by. If you want zero contact instead of a firm press, a wave or touchless actuator is the other direction, for example the Locknetics WS-200 flush mount wave switch or the RCI 910TC touchless actuator.
12) What is a better exit switch for a clean indoor lobby than the Dortronics WR5276 waterproof button?
The WR5276 is the exterior and wash down answer, sealed to IP65 in brushed stainless. Indoors, where sealing buys you nothing, there are quieter looking options: the Locknetics TS-100 touch switch with dual LED status and a programmable timer, the Norton Rixson 503 vestibule switch as a plain SPDT momentary push, or the Locknetics CSW-100 / CSW-200 concealed desk release when the receptionist should release the door out of sight. Pick the WR5276 when weather, wash down, or abuse is the real problem.
13) Can the Dortronics WR5276 button switch 120V line voltage to a door operator or a light?
Contact rating is 2A at 125VAC and 2A at 24VDC, so a small 120V load inside 2 amps is within the contacts. Anything heavier, a motor, an operator, or a bank of locks, needs a relay between the button and the load rather than the switch carrying it. Same on the DC side: size the maglock or strike draw against that 2A figure at 24VDC.
14) Will a Dortronics WR5276 push button tell my panel the door is actually open?
No. The WR5276 reports the button being pressed, not the position of the door. Its Form Z contacts signal the access control system on a press and can break lock power at the same time. For door position you need a separate magnetic contact, such as the Schlage Electronics 7764 concealed flush mount door position switch or the 7766 surface mount version, both SPDT. Most exterior installs use both: the button to release, the contact to monitor.
15) What is the difference between a Dortronics WR5276 exit button and a Command Access REXKIT-CL request to exit kit?
They signal request to exit from different places on the opening. The WR5276 mounts on the wall as a stainless push button with 2 normally open and 2 normally closed contacts on a floating common, so it can drop lock power and signal the panel at the same time. The Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable request to exit switch kit in an SPDT configuration that goes inside CL180 Series cylindrical locks, so the exit signal comes from turning the lever rather than from a separate button. Choose the REXKIT-CL when the opening already uses a CL180 Series lock and you do not want a wall device; choose the WR5276 when the release point is a button away from the door or exposed to weather.
16) What alternative to the Dortronics WR5276 gives key control instead of an open push button at an exterior door?
The WR5276 is an unrestricted 3/4 inch stainless button any passerby can press, sealed to IP65 for exterior mounting. Where the release must be limited to authorized staff, the Detex CS-400 Series electronic keyswitches include LED indicators and are made for access control systems, so operation requires a key rather than a press. The RCI 916 Series is a tamper resistant push button switch with a blue handicap logo on a 1-3/4 inch button, which resists abuse while still being open to anyone. Both change who can operate the door, in different degrees.
17) If I want a release button that is hidden rather than visible on the wall like the Dortronics WR5276, what should I use?
The WR5276 is a surface visible button, supplied standard on a 1 gang plate with a narrow N plate at 1-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch and a 2 gang D plate at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, and it can carry legends such as Push to exit or Emergency door release. The Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with an SPDT switch, mounted under a reception counter where the public cannot see or reach them. Use the concealed release for a staffed desk and the WR5276 where the button must be found and read by anyone leaving.
18) I need a status indicator and a timer at the door - does the Dortronics WR5276 do that or is there another switch?
The WR5276 covers both through options: a bi-color red or green LED ring shows switch status or can be driven independently by another device, and an FT fixed 30 second or AT adjustable 2 to 60 second time delay is offered for NFPA and BOCA code compliance. The Locknetics TS-100 is a touch switch with dual LED status indicators and a programmable timer built in rather than optional. Where an audible alert is wanted instead of or alongside a visual one, the RCI 903 Series is an audible alert at 80 to 96 dB with a tamper resistant design.
19) Which Dortronics model number is the 3/4 inch round stainless waterproof entry button?
Model 5276-HD29 in the Dortronics WR5276 Series, the heavy duty exterior grade waterproof switch with the 3/4 inch round stainless entry button. Plate size prefixes (N narrow, D two gang) and legend suffixes (xE1 through xE6) modify that base designation, so the full ordered part number depends on the plate and text you pick.
