DynaLock 6267 Series Latching Palm Switch Buttons, Key Reset, SPDT Form “Z”

The 6267 is a latching palm switch: press it once and the contacts stay transferred until someone resets it with a key. It won't drop back on its own the way a momentary button does. That makes it a deliberate-action control for holding a maglock or door circuit released until an authorized person restores it, rather than a routine everyday request-to-exit button. If you want the door to re-secure as soon as the hand leaves the plate, a momentary switch is the right choice instead.

SPDT Form Z gives you one common with both a normally open and a normally closed contact, so a single press breaks one circuit and makes another at the same time. On an access control job that lets you drop power to a maglock on the NC side while signaling the panel or an alarm shunt on the NO side. Just remember the contact stays in the transferred state until it is key reset.

The standard plate is the single-gang size. Two other plate options can be specified: a narrow plate 1-3/4 inches wide for mullions and narrow stile frames, and a two gang faceplate 4-9/16 inches wide. Pick the narrow plate when you're mounting on a storefront mullion where a standard plate will overhang the glass stop.

The DynaLock 6267 is a latching palm switch with key reset, so it holds its state until a key restores it. If the opening needs the door to release only while the button is pressed, use a momentary device instead. The RCI 908 Series electronic exit button is offered with maintained operation, while the RCI 909 Series flush mount rocker switch is a momentary switch rated 250VAC 10A, and the Securitron PB3 Series push buttons and the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch are the other common request-to-exit choices.

The 6267 is a red palm switch on a brushed stainless US32D plate used as a request-to-exit control, and its face is not marked for accessibility. For a barrier-free actuator, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the handicap symbol in satin stainless steel, which is the marking building occupants look for at an accessible entrance.

An anti-tamper switch can be specified on the 6267. It's a separate contact that reports if the plate is removed from the box, which is what an institutional or government spec usually calls for on a REX device in a secured corridor. Every plate configuration, narrow, single gang or two gang, can be ordered with or without it.

The 6267 latches and needs a key to reset, so it's the wrong part for a routine push-to-exit. For momentary operation, look at the Securitron PB3 Series push buttons, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol, or the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch if you're mounting on a narrow mullion. For an illuminated momentary, the Securitron PB4L or PB5 series are the illuminated push buttons.

It functions as a latching release with key reset, which suits a supervised release point, but it isn't marked or labeled as an emergency release. If the spec calls for a marked emergency egress button, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton is marked "Emergency Release", and the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button comes with interchangeable LED lenses. Those are the ones to quote when the drawing says emergency release.

The DynaLock 6267 palm switch ships with a red button on a brushed stainless US32D plate and no legend text. Where the device has to read as an emergency device, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is marked "Emergency Release", the RCI 908 Series button carries red EXIT text, and the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button uses interchangeable LED lenses.

On the DynaLock 6267 the key is only used to reset the latched button after it has been struck; the release itself is made by the palm. If the intent is that only a keyholder can trigger the release at all, a keyswitch is the correct device, such as the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series.

The 6267 can be ordered with a bi-color red/green LED at 12/24 VDC for status indication. Among illuminated alternatives, the Securitron PB4L Series uses an illuminated halo around a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button. The difference to weigh is that the 6267 remains a large latching palm actuator, while those are conventional push buttons.

The 6267 is offered on a narrow plate 1-3/4 inches wide for mullions and narrow stile frames, and the Trine 342 is also a narrow style electric door switch, so both are aimed at the same tight frame condition. They are not the same device, though: the 6267 latches and requires a key to reset, so swapping in the 342 changes how the control behaves after it is operated.

Both are held-state release devices rather than simple momentary buttons. The RCI 919 Series is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish, restored by turning the knob back. The DynaLock 6267 is struck with the palm and stays latched until a key resets it, and comes standard in brushed stainless steel US32D. Choose on who should be allowed to restore the device after it is operated.

Brushed stainless steel, US32D, with a red button as standard. US32D is the common satin stainless finish on commercial door hardware, so it lines up with the pulls, push plates and exit trim on most storefront and institutional openings without looking like an add-on.

It's a commercial access control device, part of DynaLock's 6000 Series request-to-exit controls. The palm-sized plate, stainless faceplate and key reset are aimed at schools, healthcare, government and multi-family back-of-house openings, not homes. Property managers standardizing a building can order the same 6267 across openings and vary only the plate width and the LED or tamper options to suit each location.

Not a direct one. The Securitron PB3 Series is a standard push button, while the 6267 is a latching palm switch with key reset and SPDT Form Z contacts, and can be ordered with an anti-tamper switch and a two gang faceplate 4-9/16 inches wide. If the drawing calls for a latched state and key reset, the PB3 does not meet it; if a plain momentary release is all that is required, it does.
