DynaLock 6145A Four Pushbuttons, 2 Gang, Alternate-Action SPDT, 6000 Series - Pushbuttons

Alternate-action means each button latches: press once and the contacts stay transferred, press again and they return. That's what you want for holding a maglock released for a delivery window or keeping a door unsecured during business hours. If you want the door to release only while someone is pressing, you need a momentary switch instead, like the RCI 908 Series maintained/momentary exit buttons or the Securitron PB3 Series. The 6145A gives you four of these latching buttons on one 2 gang plate, all with SPDT contacts.

Yes. An additional set of SPDT contacts can be ordered per button, so each button can drive the lock release on one set and shunt the alarm point or signal the panel on the other. Base configuration is a single SPDT set per button across all four.

No. The 6145A is a request-to-exit control station, not a life-safety emergency release. If the code official or the drawing calls for a marked emergency release at the opening, use a device built for it, such as the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER marked "Emergency Release". The 6145A can sit alongside one, but it doesn't replace it.

The DynaLock 6145A carries four pushbuttons on a 2 gang plate with alternate-action SPDT switching, so it is built for controlling several devices from one location. If one opening needs one button, the Securitron PB3 Series push button or the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch are single-button release devices. The RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text is another single-button option and is a maintained-operation device, which behaves like the alternate-action action of the 6145A rather than momentary.

The 6145A switches are alternate-action, meaning each press latches the state until pressed again. For a button that only makes contact while held, look at the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release, the RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A, or the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol, which is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel.

An anti-tamper switch is an orderable option on the 6145A. In a corridor, lobby, or anywhere the station sits outside a controlled space, it reports a plate removal back to the panel. It has to be specified at time of order.

No. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series, so it is key-operated and restricts who can actuate the door. The DynaLock 6145A is a four-button, 2 gang alternate-action SPDT pushbutton station that anyone at the door can press. Use the keyswitch where authorization matters and the 6145A where free request-to-exit or multi-device control is wanted.

The 6145A is a four-button pushbutton station in brushed stainless steel US32D, actuated by individual buttons rather than a large plate. For a wheelchair-accessible actuator, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the handicap symbol and is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel, which is the form a user pushes with a hand, elbow or forearm.

The 6145A is a general request-to-exit control with four alternate-action SPDT buttons and optional anti-tamper switch. Devices built specifically for emergency release include the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER, which is marked Emergency Release. The RCI 919 Series rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum is another dedicated release device.

The 6145A can be ordered with an additional set of SPDT contacts per button, so one press can signal a maglock and a separate alarm or monitoring circuit. Among the alternatives, the RCI 909 Series flush mount rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A, which suits a heavier line-voltage load rather than added low-voltage contact sets.

It's a commercial access control device. The 6145A is built for commercial openings running on a panel or maglock power supply, with SPDT switching and voltage-specific illumination options, not for residential use.
