DynaLock 6751 Series Pushplates, Recessed Single Gang, Alternate Action SPDT

Alternate action means the 6751 latches: press once and the contacts stay transferred, press again and they return. Because it holds state, it suits keeping a maglock or electric strike released for a period (a delivery door held unlocked, a shop door on free access) without a separate timer or relay. If you need the door to release only while someone is pressing, pick a momentary model from the 6700 and 6800 pushplate range instead. The 6751 is SPDT, so you get both a normally open and a normally closed contact off the same press.

Yes. The narrow recessed models in DynaLock's 6700 and 6800 pushplate line were built for aluminum store front frames and need only minimal cut-out and preparation. The 6751 is the recessed single gang, alternate action SPDT version, so it drops into a single gang recess rather than needing a surface box. For a glass front installer that means one pocket in the frame or adjacent wall and no surface projection to get knocked.

The DynaLock 6751 is a recessed single gang pushplate with alternate action SPDT switching, machined from solid aluminum and engraved PUSH TO EXIT, with narrow recessed models designed for aluminum store front frames and minimal cut-out preparation. If you need another narrow-profile switch for the same kind of stile, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. The difference to weigh is the actuation: the 6751 is an alternate action (push on, push off) SPDT plate, while the Trine 342 is sold simply as a narrow style electric door switch, so confirm the switching you need before mixing the two on one opening.

No. The DynaLock 6751 is the alternate action SPDT version, meaning the contact latches in the switched state until pushed again; DynaLock notes that the momentary models in the 6700 and 6800 line are the ones with all active operation. For a true momentary release, the Securitron PB3 push button, the RCI 950 round push plate with handicap symbol in satin stainless steel, the RCI 909F-MO flush mount momentary rocker switch, and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton marked Emergency Release are all momentary-operation devices.

The DynaLock 6751 latches because it is the alternate action SPDT pushplate. Two peers offer maintained operation for the same purpose: the RCI 908-RE-MA in 32D is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, and the RCI 919-MA in satin aluminum is a rotary release button with maintained operation. The 6751 differs in form - it is a recessed single gang engraved pushplate in solid aluminum - while the 908 is a button with EXIT lettering and the 919 is a rotary release that requires a twist rather than a push.

It comes engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" as standard, machined into solid aluminum rather than printed or labeled, so it will not wear off in a high traffic lobby. Special engraving is available by consulting the factory. If you specifically need a wheelchair symbol instead of exit wording, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries a handicap symbol.

Where there is no room to recess a plate, look at a surface or flush mounted button instead. The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch for tight aluminum stiles. The RCI 909 Series is a flush mount rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A. Securitron's PB3 push button and the illuminated PB4L and PB5 round buttons are options where you want a smaller footprint or a lit button. For a dedicated emergency release, the Securitron EEB or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER marked "Emergency Release" apply. Note the RCI 909F-MO and the ACSI momentary unit are momentary, so they will not hold a lock released the way the 6751's alternate action does.

Functionally close, yes. Alternate action on the 6751 is the same idea as maintained operation on RCI's buttons, the contact stays where you put it until the next press. The RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text and the RCI 919 rotary release button are both offered in maintained versions, the 919 in Satin Aluminum finish. The physical prep differs, though: the 6751 is a recessed single gang plate, so it is a swap for another single gang recessed plate, not for a round button hole.

If you want only authorized staff to toggle the lock, a push plate is the wrong device, anyone can press it. The DynaLock 6751 is an open egress control engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" for free egress on the secure side. For key-restricted control, an ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch is the type to specify. Many jobs use both: the key switch for staff control of the lock and the 6751 plate for code-required egress release.

The DynaLock 6751 is the broader finish option: it ships in Satin Aluminum US28 as standard and is also offered in Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26, Bright Brass US3, and Satin Brass US4. Among comparable switches, the RCI 950HP round push plate is a satin stainless steel device, the RCI 919-MA is satin aluminum, and the RCI 909F-MO is beige, so those are the fixed-finish choices where a bronze or brass match is not the goal.

The DynaLock 6751 is a machined solid aluminum plate with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage and no illumination. Where a lit device is wanted, the Securitron PB4L is an illuminated halo with a stainless push button, the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button, and the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button uses interchangeable LED lenses. Those are round button styles rather than a recessed single gang engraved plate, so the wall or frame preparation is different.

They solve different problems. The DynaLock 6751 is a free-access egress control - a recessed single gang pushplate engraved PUSH TO EXIT that anyone inside can operate. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch, which restricts actuation to a keyholder. Use the 6751 where occupants must release the door unaided, and a keyswitch such as the 1310-1 only where authorized-key control is the intent.

The DynaLock 6751 carries engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage rather than an accessibility symbol, though DynaLock will quote special engraving. If the drawing calls for the handicap symbol on the actuator, the RCI 950HP is a round push plate with the handicap symbol and momentary switching in satin stainless steel. Note the actuation difference: the 6751 is alternate action SPDT while the 950HP is a momentary switch.

The DynaLock 6751 is engraved PUSH TO EXIT. Where the opening needs emergency-release identification instead, 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. Both are momentary-style emergency devices, whereas the 6751 is an alternate action SPDT plate, so the downstream wiring to the lock differs.

Commercial, heavy duty. The 6751 is machined from solid aluminum as an egress control for institutional and commercial openings, not a residential doorbell-grade button. That construction is why it holds up on school, healthcare, and retail exit doors that see thousands of presses.
