DynaLock 6125M Two Pushbuttons, 1 Gang, Momentary SPDT, 6000 Series - Pushbuttons

The 6125M is a request-to-exit (REX) control station with two momentary pushbuttons in a single gang plate. Both switches are SPDT, so each button can release a mag lock or electric strike on one circuit while signalling an alarm panel or door controller on the other. Two buttons in one gang is the usual way to cover two separate doors from one location, or to split release and a second function at the same spot.

Yes. An additional set of SPDT contacts is available per button, on top of the standard SPDT set. That second set gives you an independent dry contact from the same button press, which is how you shunt an alarm zone, call a camera, or notify an access panel while the first set of contacts does the lock release.

No. The 6125M is momentary, meaning the contacts transfer only while the button is held and return as soon as it is released. For a button that latches the door open until someone resets it, you need a maintained switch: the RCI 908 Series exit button with red EXIT text is available in maintained operation, as is the RCI 919 Series rotary release button. Choosing momentary when the job called for maintained is the most common wrong order on this kind of device.

The DynaLock 6125M is a two-pushbutton, single-gang momentary SPDT control in the 6000 Push Button series, so both buttons live on one faceplate. Among other brands, the Securitron PB3 series push buttons and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch marked "Emergency Release" are the peer push-button controls, and each is a single-button device, so covering two functions at one opening means two separate plates rather than the one gang the 6125M uses.

The DynaLock 6125M switches momentary SPDT, meaning the contact transfers only while the button is held. Where a maintained contact is wanted, the RCI 908 series electronic exit button with red EXIT text is built for maintained operation, and the RCI 919 series rotary release button is also a maintained device in satin aluminum. Those hold their state after actuation instead of returning on release.

They are not interchangeable. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, intended for emergency release duty, and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is likewise marked "Emergency Release". The DynaLock 6125M is a general request-to-exit control with two unmarked momentary SPDT buttons, standard button color green. Swapping an emergency-marked device onto a routine exit point changes what the button tells the occupant, so match the marking to the intended use.

An accessible entrance calls for a marked actuator, and the RCI 950 series round push plate with the handicap symbol in satin stainless is the momentary switch built for that role. The DynaLock 6125M is a two-button momentary SPDT control with green buttons in brushed stainless steel US32D and carries no accessibility marking, so it suits staff-side release rather than a public door actuator.

An anti-tamper switch is available as an option on the 6125M. It reports if the plate is pulled off the box, which is what a spec for a secure corridor, a cash room, or a controlled institutional area usually calls for. It has to be specified with the order; the button is not supplied with it by default.

Pick by what the button is for. The 6125M is a momentary REX station: press it, the contact transfers, release it and the door relocks, which is what you want for everyday controlled egress and for a receptionist releasing a door. A dedicated emergency release is a different device, usually pull-station style or maintained so the door stays unlocked until reset; the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER marked Emergency Release are the products for that role. Many openings get both, one for daily traffic and one for life safety.

The 6125M carries two buttons on one plate, so it is more device than a single-door release needs. For one button, the Securitron PB3 Series push button is the plain option and the Securitron PB4L Series adds an illuminated halo around a stainless button if you want visual feedback. Trine's 342 narrow style electric door switch is the one to look at for a narrow aluminum stile. If the requirement is a large push plate for accessible egress rather than a button, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with the handicap symbol is a momentary switch built for that.

A pushbutton like the DynaLock 6125M, with its two momentary SPDT buttons, can be pressed by anyone reaching the plate. Where the release must be restricted to a keyholder, the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch in the 1300 series is the key-operated control in the same access-control family. If the goal is only to deter tampering with a pushbutton station, the 6125M can be ordered with an anti-tamper switch instead.

They differ in actuator type and rating. The RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish, so it is a rocker in a line-voltage-capable rating. The DynaLock 6125M uses two momentary SPDT pushbuttons on a brushed stainless steel US32D plate and can be ordered with an additional set of SPDT contacts per button for a second circuit. Choose by whether the opening wants a rocker or a stainless pushbutton station, and by the switching the panel expects.

Brushed stainless steel, US32D, with green buttons as standard. That matches the satin stainless most commercial push plates and door trim are specified in, so it will sit alongside existing 32D lever trim and exit devices without looking off. Green is the normal choice for a release button, as opposed to the red used on emergency break-glass style stations.

That is what the 6000 Series is built around. It is a range of request to exit controls offered in multiple switching configurations, all with SPDT contacts and all finished in US32D brushed stainless, so every station reads the same on the wall while the switching behind each plate suits the opening. The 6125M is the two button, one gang, momentary version within that family, which keeps a facility on one finish and one plate style across doors.
