DynaLock 6730 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is a momentary exit button like the 6730 the right choice, or do I need a maintained switch?
Momentary is what you want for normal request-to-exit or push-to-exit release: the 6730 makes the switch only while it is pressed, so the lock re-secures as soon as your hand comes off, usually through a timer or access control relay. Use a maintained switch when you need the door to stay unlocked until someone deliberately resets it, such as a hold-open or emergency release condition. The RCI 908 Series exit button and the RCI 919 Series rotary release are the maintained-operation options, and the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button covers the emergency release role.
2) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock 6730 pushplate for a narrow aluminum storefront stile?
The DynaLock 6730 is a single gang momentary SPDT pushplate machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage; the 6700 and 6800 families include narrow recessed models made specifically for aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out. If you want a different brand in that same narrow-stile format, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch built for the same tight mullion condition. The DynaLock keeps the engraved push-to-exit face and SPDT contacts; the Trine 342 is the narrow-profile switch approach without that plate signage.
3) I need an exit button that reads EXIT in red instead of an engraved push plate. What should I look at instead of the DynaLock 6730?
The 6730 is an aluminum plate with engraved PUSH TO EXIT text and momentary SPDT switching. If you specifically want red EXIT lettering and a button rather than a plate, the RCI 908 series electronic exit button carries red EXIT text, though the RCI-908-RE-MA version is maintained operation rather than momentary, so the contact stays transferred until pushed again. Choose by whether the door release should pulse or latch.
4) What do I use instead of the DynaLock 6730 if the opening needs an ADA barrier-free actuator?
The 6730 is engraved PUSH TO EXIT and is intended as an egress control, not a handicap actuator. For a barrier-free application the RCI 950 series round push plate carries a handicap symbol and uses a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. Both are momentary, so the wiring intent is similar; the difference is the face marking and the round plate shape versus the 6730 single gang format.
5) Can I use the DynaLock 6730 as an emergency release station?
The 6730 is engraved PUSH TO EXIT and is a heavy duty egress control, so it reads as normal egress rather than emergency release. Where the job calls for an emergency release station, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release and the Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses. Use the 6730 for everyday egress and one of those where the marking and function must call out emergency use.
6) I want the release to stay on until staff reset it rather than pulse. What replaces the DynaLock 6730?
The 6730 is a momentary SPDT device, so the contacts transfer only while the plate is pressed and all momentary models feature all active operation. For a held state, the RCI 919 rotary release button is a maintained device in satin aluminum, and the RCI 908 series with red EXIT text is also offered in maintained operation. Match the finish by noting the 6730 standard finish is Satin Aluminum US28, the same appearance family as the RCI 919 satin aluminum.
7) Does the DynaLock 6730 come engraved, or do I have to add signage?
The plate ships engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" out of the box, machined into solid aluminum, so no separate label or sign is needed to mark the egress point. Custom engraving is handled as a factory special order.
8) What finishes does the DynaLock 6730 pushplate come in, and which one is the stock finish?
Satin Aluminum US28 is the standard finish. Eight finishes are offered in total: Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26, and Satin Aluminum US28. For a building where the exit plates need to match existing lever trim or storefront framing across a lot of openings, the bronze and brass options let you standardize on one switch and still match each opening.
9) What does "all active" operation mean on the DynaLock momentary pushplates?
On the momentary 6700 and 6800 Series plates, the entire plate face is the actuator, not a small button in the middle. Pressing anywhere on it triggers the switch, which matters on an egress device someone hits in a hurry or in the dark, and for users who may not strike the center of the plate.
10) What are the alternatives to the DynaLock 6730 if I want an illuminated or round push button instead of a rectangular plate?
For a round plate, the RCI 950 Series round push plate is a momentary switch and carries the handicap symbol, which suits an accessible entrance. If you want the button lit so it is findable at night, the Securitron PB4L has an illuminated halo with a stainless button and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. The Securitron PB3 Series is the plain non-illuminated push button. The 6730 differs from all of these in being an engraved solid aluminum plate with SPDT switching.
11) Do I need a keyswitch instead of a pushplate for authorized-only release?
If the release has to be restricted to staff, a pushplate is the wrong device, since anyone can press it. The ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch is the key-operated option for that. Keep the 6730 pushplate for free egress on the inside of the opening, where the point is that anyone can get out.
12) Is a Securitron PB3 push button a substitute for the DynaLock 6730?
They solve the same release problem in different formats. The DynaLock 6730 is a single gang pushplate machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage and momentary SPDT contacts. The Securitron PB3 is a push button rather than an engraved plate. If the specification calls out a plate with push-to-exit engraving on a single gang box, the 6730 matches that; if it just calls for a release button, the PB3 is the simpler device.
13) Which alternative to the DynaLock 6730 gives me an illuminated release for a dark corridor?
The 6730 has no illumination; it is a solid aluminum plate with engraved PUSH TO EXIT lettering offered in finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Dark Bronze US10B, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26 and Bright Brass US3. For a lit device, the Securitron PB4L uses an illuminated halo around a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. Pick the 6730 when the finish needs to match surrounding trim, the PB4L or PB5 when visibility in low light drives the choice.
14) Is a mortise keyswitch like the ACSI 1310-1 an alternative to the DynaLock 6730?
They are not interchangeable in intent. The DynaLock 6730 is a pushplate anyone can press, engraved PUSH TO EXIT, intended for free egress. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch, so operation requires a key and it controls access rather than providing unrestricted egress. Specify the 6730 where occupants must release the door without a key, and the 1310-1 where the release should be restricted to keyholders.
15) What is a comparable momentary switch to the DynaLock 6730 with a similar contact rating?
The DynaLock 6730 is a momentary SPDT pushplate; within the 6700 and 6800 families the PTD contact rating is 10 A at 125VAC and all other models are 6 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish. Both are momentary, so either can pulse a release; the 6730 gives you a machined aluminum plate with push-to-exit engraving in eight finishes, while the 909F-MO is a flush rocker.
16) Is the DynaLock 6730 pushplate rated for high-traffic commercial openings?
It is a commercial, heavy duty egress control, machined from solid aluminum rather than molded plastic, which is what holds up on a doorway getting hit hundreds of times a day in retail, healthcare, or multi-family common areas.
