DynaLock 6805 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a DynaLock 6805 narrow pushplate fit an aluminum storefront frame?
That is exactly what the narrow recessed 6805 is built for. DynaLock designed the narrow models for installation in aluminum store front frames, and they need only minimal cut-out and preparation. If you are mounting on a wall or a wide mullion instead, the narrow profile is unnecessary and a standard-width plate is the easier fit.
2) What does the 1-60 second PTD on the DynaLock 6805 actually do at the door?
PTD is a push-to-delay timer built into the plate. One press releases the lock and holds it released for an adjustable interval anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds, so someone using the handicapped pushplate has time to cross the opening before the mag lock or strike re-secures. You set the delay on the unit to suit the door and the traffic.
3) What is the contact rating on the DynaLock 6805 PTD pushplate, and can it switch a mag lock directly?
The PTD version is rated 10 A at 125VAC, which is the heavier of DynaLock's two ratings on the 6705/6805 family (all other switching configurations are 6 A at 125VAC). That 10 amp contact will carry a typical low-voltage mag lock or electric strike load directly, and it gives you headroom if the plate is also breaking an AC circuit or a power supply feed.
4) If I want a round handicap push plate instead of the narrow DynaLock 6805, what should I look at?
The DynaLock 6805 is a narrow rectangular recessed pushplate machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol. For a round format carrying the same handicap graphic, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. The round RCI 950 requires a round cut-out rather than the narrow stile prep the 6805 is designed around, and it is momentary only, where the 6805 in the 1-60 second PTD configuration holds the output for an adjustable delay.
5) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock 6805 narrow pushplate for a storefront door with limited stile width?
The DynaLock 6805 is a narrow recessed handicapped pushplate designed specifically for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out preparation. If a different narrow-profile switch is needed for the same kind of narrow aluminum stile, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. Both are intended for tight stile openings; the 6805 adds the blue engraved handicapped symbol and the 1-60 second push-to-delay timing in an SPDT Form Z configuration, while the Trine 342 is a plain narrow switch without the engraved handicap graphic.
6) I need the release to stay latched on rather than time out. Is the DynaLock 6805 the right choice?
The DynaLock 6805 in the 1-60 second PTD configuration is a timed device, holding the output for an adjustable delay before restoring. If the door needs to stay released until someone resets it, a maintained device is the better fit: the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text is a maintained operation button, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button is also maintained, in a satin aluminum finish that matches the 6805 standard satin aluminum US28.
7) What is SPDT Form Z switching and how do I wire the 6805 into my access control panel?
Form Z on the 6805 is a single-pole double-throw contact set, so you get both a normally open and a normally closed path off a common terminal. Wire the normally closed side in series to break power to a mag lock, or use the normally open side as a dry request-to-exit or release input to your panel. Having both on one plate means you can drop the lock and signal the controller from the same press.
8) Is the DynaLock 6805 pushplate tough enough for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
It is a heavy duty commercial egress control, machined from solid aluminum rather than stamped or molded, with the handicapped symbol engraved and filled in blue instead of applied as a label. Engraving is what keeps the symbol legible on an entrance that gets pressed hundreds of times a day, which is why this holds up better than a silkscreened plate in schools, hospitals and multi-family lobbies.
9) Should I order the PTD timed version or a plain momentary pushplate?
Take the PTD if the door needs to stay unlocked long enough for someone to get through on their own, since it holds the release for an adjustable 1 to 60 seconds. A momentary plate only releases while it is pressed, which suits a door where an operator or an attendant is doing the work. Note that momentary models in the 6705/6805 family feature all active operation, and they carry the lower 6 A at 125VAC contact rating rather than the PTD's 10 A.
10) Can I use the 6805 pushplate as the release for a keyed or maintained function instead?
The 6805 is a timed-release plate, so it always returns to its normal state after the delay expires. If you need the door to stay unlocked until someone deliberately changes it back, look at a maintained device like the RCI 919 Series rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum, or a key-controlled unit such as the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch. Those keep the state; the 6805 will not.
11) Can I match existing bronze or brass hardware with a DynaLock 6805, or do I need a different brand?
The DynaLock 6805 is offered in eight finishes, including Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26, Satin Aluminum US28, Bright Brass US3 and Satin Brass US4, so bronze and brass openings can be matched directly. Among comparable actuators, the RCI 950 handicap push plate comes in satin stainless steel and the RCI 919 rotary release in satin aluminum, which are the silver-tone options rather than bronze or brass.
12) For an emergency egress release, should I specify the DynaLock 6805 or a marked emergency button?
The DynaLock 6805 is a heavy duty egress control pushplate carrying a handicapped symbol, which suits an accessible actuator role. Where the application calls for a device explicitly marked for emergency use, 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. Those carry emergency identification the 6805 does not, while the 6805 provides the accessible handicap marking they do not.
13) Is a Securitron PB3 push button a substitute for the DynaLock 6805 handicapped pushplate?
They are not interchangeable for an ADA-style actuator application. The Securitron PB3 is a push button switch, while the DynaLock 6805 is a handicapped pushplate machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, sized narrow for aluminum store front frames. If the opening calls for the handicap-marked actuator plate, the PB3 push button will not carry that marking. For a plain release button where no handicap symbol is required, the PB3 is the simpler device.
14) What should I use instead of the DynaLock 6805 if I need an illuminated release button?
The DynaLock 6805 is a machined aluminum handicapped pushplate with an engraved blue symbol and no illumination. When the opening calls for a lit actuator, the Securitron PB4L offers an illuminated halo with a stainless push button, and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. Both are round button formats rather than the narrow recessed plate profile the 6805 uses for aluminum storefront stiles.
15) What is the difference between the DynaLock 6805 pushplate and a mortise keyswitch like the ACSI 1310-1?
They control the opening in different ways. The DynaLock 6805 is a free-access handicapped pushplate, so anyone can press it to release the door. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series, which requires a key to actuate and is used where the release must be restricted to authorized holders. Facilities often use both on one opening: the keyswitch for controlled entry and the 6805 plate as the accessible egress actuator.
16) Which alternative handles a higher switching current than the DynaLock 6805?
The DynaLock 6805 in PTD configuration is rated 10 A at 125VAC, with other switching configurations in the series rated 6 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909F-MO flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC at 10A, so it carries the same 10 amp capacity at a higher voltage. The 909F is a flush mount rocker in a beige finish rather than a machined aluminum handicap-marked plate, so it is the choice only where no accessible actuator marking is required.
17) I have DynaLock 6705 plates on other doors in the building. Is the 6805 the same thing?
They are the same family of handicapped pushplates, sharing the solid aluminum construction, the blue engraved symbol, the finish range and the same contact ratings (10 A at 125VAC on PTD versions, 6 A on the others). The 6805 designation here is the narrow recessed configuration for aluminum storefront frames with the 1 to 60 second PTD and SPDT Form Z switching, so match the model number, not just the family, if the cut-out in the other doors already exists.
