DynaLock 6800 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is another narrow-style exit switch for an aluminum storefront frame besides the DynaLock 6800?
The DynaLock 6800 narrow recessed pushplate is designed for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out preparation. The Trine 342 is also a narrow style electric door switch, so it addresses the same narrow-stile mullion application. The DynaLock 6800 is machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage and a 1-60 second timed delay with SPDT Form Z switching; the Trine 342 is catalogued as a narrow style electric door switch without that engraved signage and timer combination.
2) If I need a simple momentary exit button instead of a timed-delay pushplate, what should I use?
The DynaLock 6800 covered here is the 1-60 second push-to-delay (PTD) version with SPDT Form Z switching, which holds the output for a set interval after the plate is pressed. If you only need a contact closure while the button is held, the Securitron PB3 push button and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch, which is marked Emergency Release, are momentary-type devices. The RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A.
3) I need an ADA handicap-marked exit plate, not PUSH TO EXIT engraving. What is the alternative?
The DynaLock 6800 narrow pushplate is engraved PUSH TO EXIT. For an accessibility symbol instead, the RCI 950HP is a round push plate with a handicap symbol and momentary switching in satin stainless steel. DynaLock notes that special engraving on the 6800 requires consulting the factory.
4) What should I use if the exit device needs to stay released until someone resets it?
The DynaLock 6800 version described here uses a 1-60 second push-to-delay with SPDT Form Z switching, so the output returns on its own after the timed interval. Where a latched state is wanted instead, the RCI 908-RE-MA is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, and the RCI 919-MA is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish, which matches the DynaLock 6800 standard satin aluminum US28 finish.
5) Is the DynaLock 6800 pushplate already marked for exit, or do I need to add a label?
The plate comes engraved PUSH TO EXIT, so no stick-on label is needed. The engraving is machined into the solid aluminum plate. DynaLock handles special engraving as a factory order, so nonstandard wording has to be specified up front.
6) Is this pushplate heavy duty enough for a busy commercial entrance?
It is rated heavy duty for commercial use, and the plate itself is machined from solid aluminum rather than formed sheet or plastic, which is what holds up at a retail or office entry that gets hit hundreds of times a day.
7) Do I need a momentary pushplate or the timed 6800 version?
Pick by what is downstream. If your access panel or maglock controller already has its own relock timer, a momentary switch is all you need, and DynaLock's momentary models in the 6700 and 6800 families are all-active operation. If nothing in the circuit holds the release, the 1-60 second PTD version does that job itself. Momentary and maintained alternatives we carry include the Securitron PB3 Series push buttons and the RCI 908 Series exit button with maintained operation.
8) What else could I use instead of the DynaLock 6800 in a narrow aluminum stile?
The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch, so it is the closest form-factor alternative for a slim stile. If you have wall space rather than a narrow stile, the round plates work better: the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol for accessible entries, or the Securitron PB5 medium round illuminated button where you want the button lit. Note that none of those is described as carrying the 6800's 1-60 second timer, so keep the timing in the panel if you switch.
9) Is the DynaLock 6800 an emergency release device?
No. It is an egress control engraved PUSH TO EXIT, intended as a normal request-to-exit or release station. If the specification calls for a dedicated emergency release, look at the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release instead.
10) I need to match existing bronze or brass hardware on the storefront. Does the DynaLock 6800 or a comparable offer more finish choices?
The DynaLock 6800 narrow pushplate is offered in eight finishes: Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26, and the standard Satin Aluminum US28. Among comparable exit switches, the RCI 950HP round push plate is specified in satin stainless steel, the RCI 919-MA in satin aluminum, and the RCI 909F-MO in a beige finish, so those are single-finish devices where bronze and brass matching is needed.
11) Is a mortise keyswitch a substitute for the DynaLock 6800 pushplate?
No. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch in the 1300 Series, so it is operated by a key and is intended for authorized control rather than free egress. The DynaLock 6800 is a heavy duty egress control machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage, pressed by any occupant leaving. If the opening needs both, they are separate devices rather than one replacing the other.
12) Which exit buttons are illuminated if the DynaLock 6800 is not?
The DynaLock 6800 is a machined solid aluminum pushplate with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage and an engraved-plate appearance rather than a lit face. For a visually lit device, the Securitron PB4L is an illuminated halo push button with a stainless button, the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button, and the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button uses interchangeable LED lenses.
13) For a 10 A at 125VAC exit switch, what else matches the DynaLock 6800 PTD contact rating?
The DynaLock 6800 PTD models carry a contact rating of 10 A at 125VAC, with other switching configurations in the 6700 and 6800 series rated 6 A at 125VAC. Among comparable devices, the RCI 909F-MO flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A, so it carries the same 10 amp current capacity in a flush rocker format rather than an engraved narrow pushplate.
14) Can I standardize on the 6800 pushplate across a building with both storefront doors and hollow metal openings?
You can keep one look and one switching configuration across a facility, since the 6800 family covers multiple switching options and the same eight finishes. The narrow recessed version is the one intended for aluminum store front frames with minimal prep, so for wide-stile or wall-mounted locations you would order the appropriate 6700 or 6800 plate format in the same finish rather than forcing the narrow plate into every opening.
15) Is the Securitron EEB the same kind of device as the DynaLock 6800 push to exit plate?
They serve different roles. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, intended as an emergency release device. The DynaLock 6800 is a heavy duty egress control pushplate engraved PUSH TO EXIT, machined from solid aluminum in a narrow recessed profile for aluminum store front frames, with a 1-60 second timed delay. The ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is likewise marked Emergency Release rather than push to exit.
