DynaLock 6745 Series Handicapped Pushplates, Single Gang, Momentary DPDT

The 6745 is a momentary double pole, double throw pushplate, so you get two independent sets of contacts that both change state while the plate is pressed and reset when it's released. That lets one press do two jobs at once, for example dropping a maglock on one pole while signaling a door operator, alarm shunt, or annunciator on the other. Contact rating on the 6745 is 6 A at 125VAC (the PTD version of the series is the 10 A at 125VAC part). All momentary models in the 6705 family use "all active" operation.

Not as-is. The 6745 is a single gang plate, which mounts to a standard single gang box or cut-out. For narrow aluminum storefront stiles DynaLock builds narrow recessed models in the same 6705 and 6805 pushplate families, and those are the ones meant for storefront framing with minimal cut-out and prep. If you are working a glass front opening, ask for the narrow version rather than the single gang 6745.

Momentary. The contacts transfer only while the plate is pushed, which is what an automatic door operator or a maglock release circuit normally wants: one press, one release cycle, then the door recloses and relocks. If you need a switch that latches on and stays on until someone presses again (holding a door unlocked, for instance), a momentary plate is the wrong choice. Maintained-operation alternatives ZenSupply carries include the RCI 908 Series exit button and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button.

Depends on the shape of the opening and the switching you need. For a round handicap actuator instead of a rectangular gang plate, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the handicap symbol with momentary switching in satin stainless. For a narrow stile or storefront mullion, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is the slim alternative. If you want an illuminated button so users can find it at night, look at the Securitron PB4L with its illuminated halo or the PB5 medium round illuminated button. None of those are DPDT the way the 6745 is, so if you're switching two circuits off one press, stay with the 6745.

No, they serve different functions. The ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is marked "Emergency Release" and the Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses; both are intended as emergency egress devices, typically covered or annunciated. The DynaLock 6745 is a heavy duty egress control pushplate with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, meant for everyday barrier-free actuation, and all momentary models feature "all active" operation.

The nearest peer is the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol and momentary switch in satin stainless steel. Both are momentary-action handicap-marked actuators for automatic door and egress control. The DynaLock 6745 is a single gang plate machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol and a momentary DPDT switch, and it comes in eight finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Bright Chrome US26, Black Satin US19 and Bright Brass US3. The RCI 950HP is round rather than single gang rectangular and is offered in satin stainless.

For a narrow stile, look at the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch, which is built for that profile. Within DynaLock's own 6705 and 6805 lines there are narrow recessed models designed specifically for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out and preparation; the 6745 itself is the single gang version.

No. The 6745 is a momentary DPDT device, so the contacts transfer only while the plate is pressed. For an actuator that holds its state, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text uses maintained operation, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button is also a maintained device in satin aluminum. The 6745 is the choice when a momentary pulse to an operator or mag lock circuit is what the drawing calls for.

Eight: Satin Aluminum US28 (the series 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 actuators across a building, the bronze range is what pairs with dark anodized storefront, and US28 with clear anodized aluminum.

It's built for that. The plate is machined from solid aluminum, not stamped, and DynaLock rates the 6705 and 6805 pushplates as heavy duty egress controls for commercial use. The handicapped symbol is engraved and filled blue rather than printed, so it won't wear off under constant palm and elbow contact the way a silkscreened actuator does.

Its contacts are rated 6 A at 125VAC, so it can carry a 125VAC control or load circuit up to that current. The PTD models in the series are the heavier 10 A at 125VAC option. For low voltage DC maglock and access control circuits it's well inside rating; for anything drawing more than 6 A, switch a relay or contactor with it instead of the load itself.

The DynaLock 6745 is a machined aluminum plate with a blue engraved handicapped symbol and is not an illuminated device. For a lit actuator, the Securitron PB4L Series offers an illuminated halo with a stainless push button, and the Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button. Both are round buttons rather than single gang handicap pushplates, so confirm the opening does not require the barrier-free symbol before substituting.

That depends on whether the actuator should be restricted. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series, so only a keyholder can operate the door. The DynaLock 6745 is an open-access heavy duty pushplate with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, intended for public barrier-free actuation. Use the keyswitch where you want authorized-only release and the 6745 where any occupant must be able to trigger the opening.

They are different devices. The RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish, which suits a utility or back-of-house release point. The DynaLock 6745 is a solid aluminum handicap pushplate with momentary DPDT switching, offered in eight architectural finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Dark Bronze US10B and Satin Brass US4, so it fits a public-facing opening where the finish has to match adjacent hardware.

A handicapped pushplate like the DynaLock 6745 is for unrestricted use, anyone who presses it gets the door. If the release has to be limited to authorized staff, a pushplate is the wrong device and you want a keyswitch: ZenSupply carries the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch in the 1300 Series for that.
