DynaLock 6815 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between alternate action and momentary on a DynaLock handicap pushplate?
The 6815 is alternate action: press once and the contacts stay switched, press again to switch back. That suits a mag lock you want held unlocked until someone presses again. If you want the door to release only for a timed or held interval and return on its own, you need a momentary model instead. DynaLock notes that all momentary models feature "all active" operation.
2) What else could I use instead of the DynaLock 6815 narrow pushplate?
If the opening is a wide jamb or a wall rather than a narrow storefront stile, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries the same handicap symbol in satin stainless with a momentary switch. For a narrow style opening from another brand, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. If you want a plain exit button with no accessibility symbol, look at the Securitron PB3 Series or the RCI 908 Series exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation.
3) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock 6815 narrow pushplate for an aluminum storefront frame?
The DynaLock 6815 is a narrow recessed handicapped pushplate designed specifically for aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out preparation. If you need another narrow-style switch sized for the same slim stile, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch built for that profile. The difference is the engraved blue handicapped symbol and alternate action SPDT switching on the 6815, where the Trine 342 is a plain narrow switch.
4) I need a handicap push plate but my wall opening is round, not narrow - what should I use instead of the DynaLock 6815?
The 6815 is a narrow recessed plate intended for aluminum store front frames. For a round opening, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries a handicap symbol and uses a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. Note the switching difference: the RCI 950HP is momentary, while the DynaLock 6815 is alternate action SPDT, meaning it latches state on each press rather than signaling only while pressed.
5) What are the electrical contact ratings on the DynaLock 6805 Series pushplates?
The 6815 is an SPDT switch. On the 6805 Series, PTD models are rated 10 A at 125VAC and all other configurations, including this one, are rated 6 A at 125VAC. Size your mag lock power supply, relay coil or door operator input against the 6 A figure.
6) Can I get the DynaLock 6815 pushplate in a finish that matches my existing door hardware?
Eight finishes are offered: Satin Aluminum US28 (the standard), Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19 and Bright Chrome US26. For a property manager standardizing across a building, US28 matches clear anodized aluminum storefront and the bronzes match anodized bronze frames.
7) Is the DynaLock 6815 handicap pushplate durable enough for a busy commercial entrance?
It is a heavy duty commercial egress control, machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol. The symbol is engraved into the metal rather than printed, so it will not wear off under high traffic the way a screened graphic does.
8) Is a DynaLock 6815 pushplate the right part for an emergency release next to a mag lock?
No. The 6815 is an accessibility egress control with a handicap symbol, meant for everyday push-to-exit or operator activation. For a dedicated emergency release you want a button marked and built for that duty, such as the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch marked "Emergency Release".
9) Is the Securitron PB3 a substitute for the DynaLock 6815 handicapped pushplate?
They are not interchangeable for a barrier-free opening. The Securitron PB3 is a push button, not a plate with the engraved handicapped symbol; the DynaLock 6815 is a solid aluminum plate machined with a blue engraved handicapped symbol for accessible egress and door operator actuation. Use the PB3 where a general-purpose button is acceptable, and the 6815 where the drawing calls for an ADA-style actuator plate.
10) I want a maintained-action exit switch like the DynaLock 6815 but with EXIT text instead of a handicap symbol. What are my options?
The DynaLock 6815 uses alternate action SPDT switching, which holds its state between presses. The RCI 908 Series in the RE-MA configuration is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, giving you the same latching behavior with exit marking. The RCI 919 rotary release button is also offered with maintained operation and a satin aluminum finish, which matches the DynaLock 6815 standard satin aluminum US28.
11) How does the DynaLock 6815 contact rating compare with the RCI 909F rocker switch?
Non-PTD DynaLock 6805 Series models such as the 6815 are rated 6 A at 125VAC, with PTD models rated 10 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909F-MO flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A. If your control circuit runs above the 6 A level, size the switch accordingly.
12) Does the DynaLock 6815 need a key to operate, or can anyone press it?
Anyone can press it. It is a push plate switch with no keyed control. If you need authorized-only release on the same opening, a mortise keyswitch such as the ACSI 1310-1 is the type to specify, and it can be wired alongside the pushplate.
13) Can I use an illuminated push button in place of the DynaLock 6815 pushplate?
Only if the accessible symbol is not required. The DynaLock 6815 is a heavy duty plate machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol and is offered in eight finishes including bright brass US3, satin brass US4, dark bronze US10B and bright chrome US26. If you want a lit actuator instead, the Securitron PB4L offers an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. Neither carries the handicapped engraving.
