DynaLock 6725 Series Handicapped Pushplates, Single Gang, Alternate Action DPDT

Alternate action means the plate latches: press once and the contacts transfer and stay there, press again and they return. DPDT gives you two independent sets of transfer contacts, so you can unlock a mag lock and signal a control panel or alarm shunt off the same press. Use it where the door needs to stay unlocked until someone presses again, such as holding a vestibule open during deliveries. If you want the door to release only for a few seconds and then relock, you want a momentary model instead, not the 6725. DynaLock notes that the momentary models in this family are the ones with all active operation.

6 A at 125VAC. Within the 6705 and 6805 pushplate family, only the PTD configuration is rated higher at 10 A at 125VAC, so size your load for 6 amps on the 6725. That is plenty for a mag lock or electric strike relay coil, but run heavier motorized operator loads through a contactor rather than switching them directly.

Two other routes ZenSupply carries. The RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the handicap symbol and is a momentary switch in satin stainless, so it releases while pressed and relocks when you let go, the opposite behavior to the 6725's latching alternate action. For a small round actuator instead of a plate, Securitron's PB3 and the illuminated PB4L and PB5 push buttons are the usual choices, though those do not carry the handicap graphic. Pick the 6725 if you need a latching two-circuit switch behind an engraved accessible symbol in a matching architectural finish.

No. The 6725 is an accessible egress actuator with a handicap symbol, not a marked emergency release. Where code or the spec calls for a labeled emergency device, use one built for it: the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton is marked Emergency Release, the RCI 908 Series button carries red EXIT text, and the Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses. Also note the 6725 latches on, which is wrong behavior for an emergency release that should not leave the opening unsecured after the event.

The 6725 is a single gang pushplate. Within the DynaLock 6705 and 6805 program, the narrow recessed models are the ones specifically designed for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out and preparation. If the mullion will not accept a single gang plate, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is the narrow-profile alternative to consider for that stile. The trade-off is that the narrow switch does not carry the 6725's engraved handicapped symbol.

The DynaLock 6725 is a single gang handicapped pushplate with an alternate action DPDT switch, meaning one press latches the contacts and the next press releases them. If the door control needs to signal only while pressed, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol uses a momentary switch and is offered in satin stainless steel. Both carry the handicap symbol, so the accessibility marking on the wall stays consistent; the difference is latching versus momentary contact behavior and the square single gang plate versus a round plate.

Satin Aluminum US28 is DynaLock's standard finish, and the 6725 is also built in Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19 and Bright Chrome US26. That gives you eight finishes, so property managers standardizing a building can match bronze storefront hardware or chrome interior trim without mixing brands.

Machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, and DynaLock classes these as heavy duty egress controls. The symbol is cut into the metal rather than silkscreened, so it survives high traffic entries where a printed graphic wears off. It is a commercial-duty device, not a residential doorbell-grade plate.

The 6725 is the switch and plate only. It is a dry-contact device, so it carries no power supply and no transformer, and you provide the single gang back box, the low voltage wiring, and the power supply or control board that actually drives the mag lock or strike. Budget those into the job. On a retrofit into an existing single gang box, the 6725 drops onto the box you already have.

Yes, that is what the DPDT arrangement is for. Double pole double throw gives two isolated transfer contacts on the one actuator, each with a normally open and a normally closed side, so one press can drop a mag lock on pole one while pole two shunts an alarm zone or signals an access panel. Keep both poles within the 6 A at 125VAC rating.

They are not interchangeable in intent. The DynaLock 6725 is a heavy duty single gang pushplate machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, and it uses an alternate action DPDT switch. The Securitron PB3 Series is a push button, so it presents a button rather than an engraved accessible-symbol plate. Where the opening is a power-operated door that requires the accessibility marking, the 6725 provides it; where a plain release button is acceptable, the PB3 is the simpler device.

The DynaLock 6725 is a solid aluminum single gang pushplate with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, finished as standard in Satin Aluminum US28 and also offered in Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19 and Bright Chrome US26. Its switch is alternate action DPDT. The Securitron PB4L uses an illuminated halo around a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button, so both add visual indication at the device. Where the requirement is a finish match to surrounding door hardware, the 6725 offers the broader finish range.

The 6725 is a public-use actuator with an engraved handicapped symbol and an alternate action DPDT switch, so anyone can operate it. Where operation must be restricted to staff with a key, the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series is the device to specify instead. The RCI 919 Series rotary release button with maintained operation and satin aluminum finish is another restricted-style actuator that holds its state after operation, like the 6725's alternate action switching.

The DynaLock 6725 falls under the 6705 and 6805 contact ratings of 6 A at 125VAC for all models other than PTD, which are rated 10 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A and comes in a beige finish. Confirm the coil or operator load being switched against those ratings, and note that the 909F is a momentary rocker while the 6725 is an alternate action DPDT plate with the handicapped symbol.
