DynaLock 6810 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does alternate action mean on the DynaLock 6810 exit pushplate?
Alternate action is a maintained switch: press once and the contacts latch in the new state, press again and they return. It stays where you put it, so it suits holding a mag lock released for a delivery or an open-for-business period. DynaLock's momentary models are the opposite, they only make contact while pressed and all momentary versions feature "all active" operation.
2) What is another narrow push switch for an aluminum storefront frame besides the DynaLock 6810?
The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch, which is the same narrow profile approach the DynaLock 6810 takes - the 6810 is a narrow recessed pushplate machined from solid aluminum and designed for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out preparation. The Trine 342 is the closer match on form factor than the round or flush plate styles, so it is the one to look at when the frame stile is the limiting dimension.
3) The DynaLock 6810 is alternate action - what do I use if I need the switch to release only while pressed?
The 6810 is an alternate action SPDT pushplate, meaning it latches on one press and releases on the next. If you need momentary operation instead, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is marked "Emergency Release" and is a momentary device, and the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol is also a momentary switch. On the DynaLock side, all momentary models in the 6700 and 6800 series feature "all active" operation.
4) Is the DynaLock 6810 push to exit plate tough enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is a heavy duty commercial egress control, machined from solid aluminum rather than stamped or plastic, with "PUSH TO EXIT" engraved into the plate so the marking cannot wear off or peel like a label.
5) Should I use an alternate action pushplate or a momentary one for my mag lock?
For everyday egress you want momentary, since the lock re-secures as soon as the button is released. Choose the alternate action 6810 when someone needs the door to stay unlocked hands-free, for example during loading or business hours. Many jobs use both: a momentary plate at the door and an alternate action plate at the desk.
6) What other narrow stile exit switches could I use instead of the DynaLock 6810?
The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch, the closest alternative for the same tight storefront stile. If the opening allows a round plate instead, look at the Securitron PB3 or the illuminated Securitron PB4L and PB5. For a surface exit button with red EXIT text and maintained (latching) action like the 6810, the RCI 908 in the maintained version is the comparable choice.
7) What does SPDT give me on the DynaLock 6810 that a simple two-wire button does not?
SPDT gives you one common with both a normally open and a normally closed contact, so a single 6810 can drop power to a mag lock and simultaneously signal an alarm shunt, a timer, or an access panel input. A plain two-wire button only breaks or makes one circuit. Keep the total load inside the 6 A at 125VAC rating.
8) How do the finish choices on the DynaLock 6810 compare with other exit switches?
The DynaLock 6810 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 Satin Aluminum US28, with Satin Aluminum US28 as the standard. Among the alternatives, the RCI 919 rotary release is listed in satin aluminum, the RCI 950 round plate in satin stainless steel and the RCI 909F-MO rocker in beige. If you are matching bronze or brass storefront trim across a building, the 6810 range is the one that covers it.
9) I need a maintained-action exit button rather than a plate - what are the options next to the DynaLock 6810?
The 6810 is a plate-style egress control with alternate action switching and engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" signage. For a button rather than a plate with similar latching behavior, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button carries red EXIT text with maintained operation, and the RCI 919 Series is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish. The 919 turns rather than pushes, so confirm which action the egress sequence calls for.
10) Which alternatives to the DynaLock 6810 are illuminated?
The 6810 is a machined aluminum pushplate with engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" lettering and no illumination. If the opening needs a lit device, the Securitron PB4L has 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. All three are round button formats rather than the narrow recessed plate of the 6810.
11) Is a mortise keyswitch a substitute for the DynaLock 6810 pushplate?
No. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch, so it requires a key to actuate and is used for authorized control rather than free egress. The DynaLock 6810 is a push-to-exit pushplate with alternate action SPDT switching that anyone can operate by hand. They serve opposite sides of the opening and are not interchangeable, though both may appear in the same access control package.
12) What switch handles a higher voltage circuit than the DynaLock 6810?
The DynaLock 6810 is rated 6 A at 125VAC, with the PTD contact configuration in the same family rated 10 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A, so it covers a higher voltage circuit. Note that the 909F-MO is momentary and comes in a beige finish, while the 6810 is alternate action and offered in metal finishes.
13) I need an ADA handicap symbol on the actuator - does the DynaLock 6810 offer that?
The DynaLock 6810 is engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" as standard. If the opening requires the handicap symbol on the face, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the handicap symbol and is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. DynaLock does accept special engraving requests through the factory for the 6700 and 6800 series if you want to stay with the narrow plate format.
14) Can I get the DynaLock 6810 engraved with something other than PUSH TO EXIT?
Standard plates ship engraved "PUSH TO EXIT". DynaLock does special engraving on the 6700 and 6800 Series, but it is a factory order, so it has to be arranged with the manufacturer rather than picked as a stock option. If you need a fixed alternate marking off the shelf, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER comes marked "Emergency Release".
15) Does the 6810 need a key to operate, or can anyone press it?
It is a free-press pushplate with no key control, so anyone at the door can operate it. If you need the release restricted to staff, a keyswitch such as the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch is the type to specify instead.
16) What is a simpler push button alternative to the DynaLock 6810 pushplate?
The Securitron PB3 Series push button is a straightforward non-illuminated push button, and it is the plainer option next to the DynaLock 6810, which is a heavy duty egress control machined from solid aluminum with engraved signage and alternate action SPDT switching. Choose the 6810 when you need the narrow recessed plate in a storefront stile and the latching action; the PB3 when a basic button in the wall will do.
