DynaLock 6735 Series Handicapped Pushplates, Single Gang, Momentary SPDT

Yes. The 6735 is the single gang version of DynaLock's 6705 Series handicapped pushplates, so it mounts to a standard single gang box or single gang cut-out. If you are putting a switch into an aluminum store front frame instead, look at the narrow recessed models in the same series, which are made for that application and need minimal cut-out prep.

SPDT momentary means one set of contacts that transfers while you press and returns when you let go, giving you both a normally open and a normally closed side off the same push. The normally closed side is what you wire in series with maglock power so pressing the plate drops the lock for the duration of the press; the normally open side can simultaneously trigger a timer, relay, or alarm shunt. Contact rating on the 6735 is 6 A at 125VAC (the PTD models are the 10 A at 125VAC version).

If a rectangular single gang plate does not suit the wall or jamb, the RCI 950 Series is a round push plate with the handicap symbol and a momentary switch in satin stainless. For a narrow jamb or store front mullion where a gang plate will not fit, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. Where you want a small illuminated button rather than a large actuator surface, the Securitron PB4L and PB5 are illuminated push buttons. Note that only the 6735 and the RCI 950HP carry the handicap symbol, so if your opening needs the ADA marking, stay with one of those two.

The 6735 is a momentary handicapped actuator, not an emergency release. It reads as an accessible door actuator with the blue handicapped symbol, and it only unlocks while held. For a marked emergency release you want a device labeled as such: the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton is marked "Emergency Release," the Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, and the RCI 908 Series has red EXIT text with maintained operation. Maintained operation matters there, since an emergency release is usually meant to stay released until reset.

Momentary only. Release the plate and the contacts return, so the 6735 gives you a timed or held-open release only if you feed it into a timer or door operator that holds the cycle. If you need the switch itself to stay in the released state until someone resets it, use a maintained device instead, such as the RCI 919 rotary release button or the RCI 908 Series with maintained operation.

The closest match is the RCI 950HP, a 950 Series round push plate carrying the handicap symbol with a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. Both are momentary handicap-marked actuators for automatic door and egress control. The DynaLock 6735 is a single gang square plate machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicap symbol and a momentary SPDT switch, and it is offered in eight finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Dark Bronze US10B, Bright Chrome US26 and Bright Brass US3, where the RCI 950HP is described as a round plate in satin stainless steel.

Use a maintained-operation device rather than the DynaLock 6735, which is a momentary SPDT switch that only makes contact while pressed. The RCI 908 Series 908-RE-MA is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, and the RCI 919 Series 919-MA is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish. Choose those where the door must stay released until the switch is reset, and the 6735 where release should last only as long as the press.

For a narrow storefront stile, look at the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch, which is built for that profile. Within the DynaLock 6705 and 6805 families there are also narrow recessed models specifically designed for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out and preparation, while the 6735 itself is the single gang square plate version.

It does. All momentary models in the 6705 and 6805 series use "all active" operation, meaning the whole plate face actuates rather than a small button in the center. That is what makes it usable for someone approaching with a wheelchair, a cart, an elbow, or a hip.

Eight finishes: Satin Aluminum US28 (the standard), Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19, and Bright Chrome US26. If you are matching existing store front hardware, US28 and the bronzes are the usual pairings; for a building standardized on brass trim, US3 or US4 will line up.

It is built for it. The 6705 Series plates are machined from solid aluminum, not stamped, with the handicapped symbol engraved and filled blue so it does not wear off the way a printed or applied symbol does. The catalog rates them as heavy duty egress controls for commercial use.

No. The 6735 is rated 6 A at 125VAC. Only the PTD contact versions in the series are rated 10 A at 125VAC. If you are switching a load near 10 amps, run it through a relay off the 6735 rather than through the plate contacts, or spec the PTD version.

Not for an ADA actuator application. The Securitron PB3 Series is a push button, and the PB4L and PB5 Series are illuminated buttons - the PB4L with a stainless button and illuminated halo, the PB5 a medium round illuminated button. None of them are described as carrying a handicap symbol. The DynaLock 6735 is specifically a handicapped pushplate with a blue engraved handicap symbol, which is what a barrier-free door operator actuator normally has to show.

Emergency release calls for a marked, dedicated device. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release. The DynaLock 6735 is marked with a handicap symbol instead and is intended as a heavy duty egress and door operator actuator, so it should not be substituted where the opening requires emergency release identification.

Use a keyed device. The ACSI 1310-1 is a 1300 Series mortise keyswitch, which requires a key to actuate rather than a plate anyone can press. The DynaLock 6735 is an open handicap pushplate with momentary SPDT switching, intended for free public actuation, so it is the wrong choice where only keyholders should release the door.

Yes. The RCI 909F-MO is a 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish, which suits a staff-only or back-of-house release where no ADA marking is needed. The DynaLock 6735 is the handicap-marked plate version, machined from solid aluminum and offered in architectural finishes such as Satin Aluminum US28 and Dark Bronze US10B for public-facing openings.
