DynaLock 6765 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the DynaLock 6765 pushplate fit an aluminum storefront frame?
Yes. The narrow recessed 6705 Series models, including the 6765, are built specifically for aluminum store front frames and need only minimal cut-out and preparation. The 6765 is the recessed single gang version, so it drops into a single gang box rather than requiring a wide plate cut into the stile.
2) Is the DynaLock 6765 a momentary button or does it stay latched when pressed?
It latches. The 6765 is an alternate action SPDT switch, so one press transfers the contacts and they stay there until the next press. That is what you want for a door you need to hold unlocked, not for a simple push-to-exit release. If you need momentary release that drops the lock only while pressed, pick a momentary configuration from the 6705 Series instead, or a momentary button such as the RCI 950 Series round handicap push plate or the Securitron PB3.
3) What is the contact rating on the DynaLock 6765 switch, and can it carry a maglock directly?
The 6765 uses the standard 6705 Series rating of 6 A at 125VAC. Only PTD-configured plates go to 10 A at 125VAC. Six amps at 125VAC is ample for switching a low voltage maglock or strike circuit or triggering a controller relay, but size the load against that figure before wiring anything heavier through the plate.
4) What is an equivalent handicap push plate if a momentary switch is needed instead of alternate action?
The DynaLock 6765 is an alternate action SPDT device, meaning one press latches the contacts and the next press releases them. If the door control needs to release only while the plate is held, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the handicap symbol and uses a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. Both are actuator plates wired into an access control or mag lock circuit rather than locks themselves.
5) Which push button suits an aluminum storefront stile better than a single gang recessed plate?
The DynaLock 6765 is a recessed single gang plate machined from solid aluminum, designed for narrow recessed installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out. Where an even narrower switch body is preferred, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. Both target the same slim vertical framing, so the choice comes down to the cut-out you can make in the stile.
6) Is an emergency exit button a substitute for the DynaLock 6765 handicap pushplate?
No. The 6765 is a heavy duty egress control plate carrying a blue engraved handicapped symbol, intended as an accessible door actuator. 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" - both are labeled for emergency release duty rather than accessible actuation, so swapping one in changes what the device tells the user to do.
7) What finishes does the DynaLock 6765 handicap pushplate come in?
Eight: Satin Aluminum US28 (the standard finish), 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 an existing storefront or a run of other openings, the bronzes and black satin cover most anodized aluminum entrances; US28 is what ships as standard.
8) Is this pushplate rated for a high traffic commercial entrance?
Yes. The 6705 Series plates are heavy duty commercial egress controls machined from solid aluminum, with the handicapped symbol engraved and filled in blue rather than printed or applied as a label, so it will not wear off under constant palm and wheelchair-arm contact.
9) What does SPDT give me that a plain single-circuit button doesn't?
Single pole double throw gives you one common with both a normally open and a normally closed contact, so the same press can release a lock and simultaneously signal something else, like shunting an alarm input or triggering an automatic operator. A single-circuit exit button only breaks one path. On the 6765 that transfer is alternate action, so both contacts hold their new state until the plate is pressed again.
10) What are the alternatives if I need a switch that can't be operated by just anyone?
A handicap pushplate like the 6765 is open to anyone who walks up to it. For controlled release, ZenSupply carries the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch, which requires a key, and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton marked Emergency Release for break-glass style egress. The Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses is another option where you want the release visibly marked as emergency-only rather than a general ADA actuator.
11) I need a narrow-style switch for a storefront stile but not a handicap plate. What else is there?
The Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is the comparable narrow-stile option we carry without the handicap symbol. The DynaLock 6765 is the choice when the opening needs a visible ADA actuator, since it carries the engraved blue handicapped symbol; the Trine 342 suits a plain release in the same kind of tight aluminum stile.
12) Do I need a separate power supply or controller with the DynaLock 6765?
Yes, the plate is a switch only. It carries no power of its own; it makes and breaks a circuit at up to 6 A, 125VAC, so you still need the lock power supply, the maglock or electric strike, and any timer or relay the sequence calls for. Order those separately.
13) What are the alternatives if the actuator needs to be illuminated?
The DynaLock 6765 is a non-illuminated aluminum plate with a blue engraved symbol, offered in finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Bright Chrome US26, Black Satin US19 and Bright Brass US3. For a lit actuator, the Securitron PB4L is an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. Those are round button devices rather than single gang plates, so the wall or frame prep differs.
14) If the maintained action is what matters rather than the plate format, what else does that?
Alternate action on the DynaLock 6765 holds its state between presses. Two other release devices offer maintained operation: the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button in satin aluminum. The 908 is a labeled exit button and the 919 is turned rather than pushed, so both change the user action even though the switching behavior is comparable.
15) When should a keyswitch be specified instead of a handicap pushplate?
The DynaLock 6765 is an open actuator any user can press, which is the point for accessible egress. Where the release must be restricted to authorized staff, the ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series, requiring a key to operate. Facilities often use both: a keyswitch for staff control and a handicap plate for public accessible operation.
16) Can I use the DynaLock 6765 as a flush wall switch in a drywall opening instead of a storefront?
Yes. It is a recessed single gang device, so it mounts to a standard single gang box in a wall as readily as in a prepped storefront stile. If you would rather have a rocker rather than a plate in a flush wall location, the RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is an alternative we stock, rated 250VAC 10A.
17) What is a simpler flush switch option than the 6765 pushplate?
The DynaLock 6765 is a machined solid aluminum plate with contacts rated 6 A at 125VAC for non-PTD models. A plainer flush device is the RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish. It has no handicap symbol and is a rocker rather than a push plate, so it does not serve as an accessible actuator.
18) How does the DynaLock 6765 differ from a standard Securitron PB3 push button?
The 6765 is a recessed single gang plate in solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol and alternate action SPDT switching, available in eight finishes from Bright Brass US3 to Dark Bronze US10B. The Securitron PB3 Series is a general purpose push button rather than a symbol engraved accessible plate, so it covers door release duty where accessible marking is not required.
