DynaLock 6268 Series Same as Model 6267, With “LOCKDOWN” Faceplate Signage

Four choices decide the part: anti-tamper switch yes or no, bi-color red/green LED (12/24 VDC) yes or no, single gang or the 4-9/16 inch two gang faceplate, and the audible sounder, which only goes on the two gang plate. Everything ships US32D brushed stainless with a red button unless the configuration says otherwise.

The 6268 is a plate-mounted palm switch and its wide option plate alone is 4-9/16 inches, so it wants real wall or frame width. For a narrow application the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is built for tight stiles, and the RCI 950 Series round push plate is another small-footprint option.

The DynaLock 6268 is a 6200 Series palm switch pushbutton carrying "LOCKDOWN" faceplate signage, otherwise the same as the Model 6267, in Brushed Stainless Steel US32D with a red button. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, so the signage and indication approach differ: the 6268 announces a lockdown command at the faceplate, while the EEB is set up for emergency egress release with lens-based indication. If the wall station needs to read LOCKDOWN rather than emergency exit, the 6268 is the one built for it.

The DynaLock 6268 is factory marked "LOCKDOWN" on the faceplate, so it is not the right call for an emergency release station. The ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked "Emergency Release" and a momentary switch, which matches that application directly. Keep the 6268 for the lockdown station and use the 1320-1-MOM-ER where the signage has to read Emergency Release.

The 6268 is a palm switch with LOCKDOWN signage, so it is not the part for a barrier-free actuator. The RCI 950HP is a round push plate with a handicap symbol and momentary switching in satin stainless steel, which is the intended device for an accessible door release. Use the 950HP at the accessible entry and reserve the 6268 for the lockdown control point.

The DynaLock 6268 is a 6200 Series palm switch pushbutton offered in multiple switching configurations for request to exit control, with optional illuminated or audible monitoring. If you specifically need maintained rather than momentary action, the RCI 908-RE-MA 32D is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, and the RCI 919-MA 28 is a rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum. Those two hold their state after actuation, which suits a latch-and-hold lockdown or release sequence.

Physically it is a palm switch pushbutton from DynaLock's 6000 Series request-to-exit (REX) family, offered in multiple switching configurations. The 6268's only distinction is the "LOCKDOWN" faceplate marking, so it is typically used where a single palm press triggers a lockdown or lock-release signal at a door. The switch contacts do the work; the signage tells staff what the press does.

An anti-tamper switch is an orderable option on the 6268, and it can be combined with the LED, the sounder, and either faceplate width. Worth specifying on switches mounted in public corridors or anywhere the plate could be pried at.

If the wording is what matters, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is marked "Emergency Release" and the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button carries red EXIT text with maintained operation. For an unmarked illuminated button, the Securitron PB4L with its illuminated halo or the PB5 medium round illuminated push button are alternatives. The 6268 is the one to use when the plate specifically has to read LOCKDOWN.

A palm button like the 6268 is for anyone who needs to act fast, with no key and no credential, which is the point of a lockdown control. If you need the function restricted to authorized staff, a keyed device such as the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch is the better choice. Many facilities run both: a keyswitch at the admin office and buttons at staffed points.

The DynaLock 6268 can be ordered with a bi-color red/green 12/24 VDC LED for monitoring, which is a separate indicator on the faceplate. If you want the button itself lit, the Securitron PB4L has an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. The tradeoff is that those illuminate the actuator while the 6268 pairs its indicator with the LOCKDOWN faceplate marking.

No. The DynaLock 6268 is a palm switch pushbutton actuated by hand, marked LOCKDOWN on the faceplate. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series, which requires a key to operate and mortises into the frame or door rather than mounting to a gang box. They serve different intents: the keyswitch restricts who can trigger the circuit, while the 6268 is a marked, immediate-press station. Pick the keyswitch only when you want key-restricted actuation.

Brushed Stainless Steel US32D faceplate with a red button as standard. That US32D plate matches the satin stainless look of most commercial door hardware and access control plates, so it blends into an existing wall of stainless devices.

It is a commercial-rated electronic access control device, which is why the LOCKDOWN plate exists in the first place: schools, clinics, and offices that want a single deliberate palm press at a staffed location. The palm-style button takes a flat hand rather than a fingertip, which suits gloved or hurried use.
