DynaLock 6211 Series Palm Switch Buttons, Alternate-Action SPDT, “EXIT” Faceplate Signage

Alternate-action means the 6211 palm switch latches: press once and the contacts transfer and stay there, press again and they return. That makes it right for holding a maglock or electric strike released for a period, propping an opening open for deliveries or moving days, or putting a door into an unlocked state until someone deliberately clears it. If you want the door released only while the button is held, a momentary switch is the correct choice instead, such as the RCI 950 Series round push plate with a handicap symbol or the Trine 342 narrow style door switch. SPDT gives one common with a normally open and a normally closed contact, so you can drive a lock and signal an access panel off the same press.

Both mountings are available. Order the 6211 on the standard faceplate for a single gang opening, or take the two gang faceplate option at 4-9/16 inches wide when you need the wider plate. There is also a narrow plate option at 1-3/4 inches wide for tight mullions and glass front jambs where a standard plate will not sit flat. Decide the plate before you set the box, because the audible sounder option can only be had on the two gang faceplate.

The DynaLock 6211 is a palm switch with alternate-action SPDT switching and EXIT faceplate signage, meaning the button latches in position rather than returning on release. The RCI 908 Series electronic exit button in the RCI-908-RE-MA 32D configuration also carries red EXIT text and uses maintained operation, so it covers the same latching-EXIT role in a smaller pushbutton format. The 6211 differs in offering a palm-sized button on a stainless faceplate with optional two-gang plate, bi-color LED, audible sounder, and anti-tamper switch.

The DynaLock 6211 uses alternate-action SPDT switching, so one press latches the contacts and the next press releases them. If the opening needs a contact that only holds while pressed, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is a momentary device marked Emergency Release, and the RCI 909 Series in the RCI-909F-MO configuration is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A. The RCI 950 Series round push plate, model 950HP, is also a momentary switch and carries the handicap symbol.

The DynaLock 6211 can be ordered with a narrow plate 1-3/4 inches wide, which is the tightest plate the 6211 is built on. If the opening needs a purpose-built narrow-stile device instead, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. The Securitron PB3 Series push button is another compact alternative for tight frame conditions.

The DynaLock 6211 is a request-to-exit palm switch with EXIT faceplate signage, not an accessibility actuator. For an opening where the control needs the international symbol of accessibility, the RCI 950 Series round push plate, model 950HP, carries the handicap symbol and is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel.

Standard finish is brushed stainless steel US32D with a red button, which is what most stairwell and corridor REX stations use. A green button is offered as an option across the plate sizes if your facility color codes green for free egress or you are matching other stations already installed in the building.

An anti-tamper switch is available on the 6211 and can be combined with any of the plate sizes, the green button, and the bi-color LED. It gives you a contact that reports if the plate is pulled off the box, which is what a detention, cash handling, or pharmacy opening usually needs on the spec. It is a build option, so it has to be called out on the order, not added later.

Yes. The 6211 is part of DynaLock's 6000 Series request to exit controls, and this model carries EXIT signage engraved on the faceplate, so it reads as an egress station without a separate label. It is a commercial device, meant for access controlled openings running maglocks, electric strikes or electrified hardware.

The 6211 is a large palm-style push button in brushed stainless US32D with an EXIT-marked plate and an alternate-action SPDT switch that latches on and off. Among the alternatives ZenSupply carries, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text is also a maintained-operation device, so it behaves similarly on the latch. The Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated button and the Securitron PB4L uses an illuminated halo around a stainless button, both of which are a round-button look rather than a broad palm plate. The RCI 919 is a rotary release, turned rather than pressed. Pick on how the door is meant to behave first, then on the plate style that matches the other openings.

The DynaLock 6211 carries EXIT faceplate signage and is a request-to-exit control, which suits a normal egress release point. For an opening where the button is specifically the emergency release, the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button offers interchangeable LED lenses, and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is marked Emergency Release on its face. Those carry the emergency wording the 6211 does not, since the 6211 faceplate reads EXIT.

The DynaLock 6211 is a palm switch with an alternate-action SPDT contact, a brushed stainless steel US32D faceplate, and a red button as standard, with a green button available. The RCI 919 Series in the RCI-919-MA 28 configuration is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish, so it is turned rather than pressed. Both hold their state after actuation; the difference is the actuation motion and the plate finish.
