DynaLock 6785 Series Handicapped Pushplates, Recessed Single Gang, Momentary SPDT

That is exactly what the recessed narrow models in the 6705 Series are built for. The 6785 is a recessed single gang plate machined from solid aluminum, and the narrow recessed versions are designed for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out and preparation. If you are working a glass front with narrow tube framing, this is the style of plate to use rather than a wide square plate that needs a bigger opening.

6 A at 125VAC. The 10 A at 125VAC rating quoted for the 6705 family applies to the PTD (push to die) configuration only; all other switching configurations, including this momentary SPDT, are rated 6 A at 125VAC. Size your relay, mag lock circuit, or power supply loop accordingly.

No. The 6785 is the recessed single gang version, meant to sit into a prepared cut-out or a single gang box in the frame or wall. For a surface application you want a surface mount plate or a round surface button instead. Among the alternatives stocked, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol and momentary switch covers the same accessible egress function in a round plate format.

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 egress push plates. The DynaLock 6785 is a recessed single gang plate machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol and a momentary SPDT switch, offered in eight finishes including Satin Aluminum US28 and Dark Bronze US10B; the RCI 950HP is a round plate in satin stainless steel. Choose by plate shape and the finish you need to match.

The DynaLock 6785 is a narrow recessed model designed for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out preparation, so it suits a narrow stile directly. If you need a narrow-style switch without the handicap marking, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch covers the same narrow-stile application.

No. The DynaLock 6785 is a momentary SPDT switch, so the contacts change state only while the plate is pressed. For maintained operation, look at the RCI 919 Series rotary release button, which is maintained and comes in satin aluminum, or the RCI 908 Series exit button with maintained operation.

No. All momentary models in the DynaLock 6705 Series feature "all active" operation, so pressure anywhere on the plate face actuates the switch. That matters on an accessible egress button, where a user may hit the plate with a forearm, elbow, or wheelchair, not a fingertip in the center.

A single pole double throw switch gives you both a normally open and a normally closed contact off the same actuation, sharing a common. That lets one plate break a mag lock or electric strike circuit while simultaneously signaling an access control panel, alarm shunt, or door position input. If you only need to break power to a mag lock on egress, a single-throw button will do it; if you need a second signal at the same instant, the 6785 momentary SPDT covers both from one device.

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. The handicapped symbol is blue engraved on all of them, so the symbol reads the same whichever frame color you are matching. For a dark anodized storefront, US10B or US19 will disappear into the frame; US28 is the match for clear anodized aluminum.

It is rated heavy duty and commercial, machined from solid aluminum rather than stamped or plastic, with the handicapped symbol engraved into the metal instead of printed on. Engraving is the detail that matters on a door hit hundreds of times a day, since a silkscreened symbol wears off and an engraved one does not.

It depends on what the button has to say to the user. For an accessible entry actuator, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the same handicap symbol with a momentary switch. If the device is an emergency egress release rather than a door operator actuator, look at the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM pushbutton marked "Emergency Release". For a narrow storefront stile where you want a small button rather than a plate, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch and the Securitron PB3 Series push buttons are the narrow-profile options.

Momentary, which is what the 6785 is, closes only while the plate is pressed and then resets, so it pulses a door operator or drops a mag lock for the duration of the press. Maintained switching latches in position and holds the circuit until someone changes it, which is what you want for a supervised unlock or a hold-open. If maintained is what the job calls for, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button are both maintained operation devices.

They serve the same door-release function but are not the same device. The Securitron PB3 is a push button; the DynaLock 6785 is a recessed single gang solid aluminum pushplate carrying an engraved handicapped symbol, which is what an accessible entrance actuator has to show. If you want an illuminated button instead, Securitron also offers the PB4L with an illuminated halo and stainless button and the PB5 medium round illuminated push button.

The 6785 is a push-to-actuate plate with no key control, so anyone can operate it. Where the release must be restricted to authorized staff, the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series is the key-operated alternative in the same electronic access control role.

Momentary 6785 models other than PTD versions are rated 6 A at 125VAC, with PTD contacts at 10 A at 125VAC. If you need a higher voltage rating on the contacts, the RCI 909F-MO flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A. Note the 909F is a flush rocker in a beige finish rather than an engraved handicap pushplate.

Yes, and that is the practical reason to spec the 6785 across a portfolio. The switching stays identical (recessed single gang, momentary SPDT, all active, 6 A at 125VAC) while the plate finish changes per opening across eight options, from Bright Brass US3 on a lobby door to Dark Bronze US10B on bronze anodized storefront. Your electricians wire every opening the same way and your stock of spares is one part.
