DynaLock 6830 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does momentary SPDT mean on the DynaLock 6830 exit pushplate, and can I use it to both release a maglock and trigger an auto operator?
SPDT means a single pole, double throw contact set: one common with both a normally closed and a normally open leg. Momentary means the contact transfers only while the plate is pressed and returns as soon as it is released. That gives you the NC leg to break power to a maglock or strike and the NO leg to signal an operator, alarm shunt, or access panel at the same instant. If you need the contact to stay transferred until someone resets it, the 6830 is the wrong switch, you want a maintained device such as the RCI 908 Series exit button with maintained operation.
2) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock 6830 narrow pushplate for an aluminum storefront stile?
The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch, the same narrow-profile approach the DynaLock 6830 takes for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out. Both are built to fit the limited width of a storefront stile rather than a standard single-gang box, so the Trine 342 is the natural cross-reference when a 6830 does not suit the opening. The DynaLock 6830 is a momentary SPDT plate engraved PUSH TO EXIT, machined from solid aluminum.
3) I need a wider push plate than the DynaLock 6830 for a drywall wall location - what should I use instead?
For a wall mount where the narrow storefront profile is not needed, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel, and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. Both are round-format actuators rather than the narrow recessed plate geometry the DynaLock 6830 uses for aluminum store front frames, so they suit an opening where a larger, more visible target is wanted.
4) The DynaLock 6830 is momentary - what do I order if the switch has to latch and stay actuated?
The 6830 is a momentary SPDT plate, so the contact transfers only while pressed. When the opening needs the switch to hold its state, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text is a maintained operation device, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button is also maintained, in a satin aluminum finish. Choose maintained where a door must stay released until someone resets the switch.
5) My egress device needs to read as emergency release, not push to exit - is the DynaLock 6830 the right part?
No. The 6830 carries engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage. For an emergency-marked device, 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. Both are intended for the emergency release application rather than routine egress release.
6) Does the 6830 pushplate come already engraved, or do I have to order signage separately?
The plate is engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" from the factory, so there is nothing separate to order for standard egress marking. The body is machined from solid aluminum. Custom wording is handled as a factory special rather than a stocked option.
7) What finishes can I get the DynaLock 6830 pushplate in to match the rest of my storefront hardware?
Eight finishes: 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 dark anodized aluminum storefront, US10B is normally the closest match; clear anodized frames pair with US28.
8) What else could I use instead of a DynaLock 6830 narrow pushplate for exit release?
Depends on the opening. For a narrow aluminum stile, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is the closest alternative format. If you have wall space rather than a mullion, a round plate like the RCI 950 Series momentary push plate with handicap symbol suits an accessible entrance, and the Securitron PB3 Series push buttons cover a standard single-gang button. For emergency release rather than routine egress, look at the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER marked "Emergency Release".
9) I want an illuminated exit button. Does the DynaLock 6830 light up?
No. The 6830 is a plain engraved momentary plate with no illumination. If the spec calls for a lit button, the Securitron PB4L with its illuminated halo and stainless button, or the Securitron PB5 medium round illuminated push button, are the ones to look at instead.
10) Is a pushplate like the DynaLock 6830 the right choice, or should I be specifying a keyswitch?
Two different jobs. The 6830 is a free egress release anyone inside can press, marked PUSH TO EXIT, with the contact transferring only while it is held. A mortise keyswitch such as the ACSI 1310-1 restricts operation to a key holder, which is what you want for controlled unlock or a shunt that the public should not touch. Many storefronts carry both: the plate inside for egress, the keyswitch outside for authorized entry.
11) Can I use a Securitron PB3 or PB4L in place of a DynaLock 6830?
They are different form factors. The Securitron PB3 is a push button and the PB4L is an illuminated halo with a stainless push button, so both are button-style actuators. The DynaLock 6830 is a machined solid aluminum plate with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage in a narrow recessed profile for aluminum store front frames. If the frame prep was cut for the 6830 plate, a round button is not a drop-in; if you want an illuminated indication at the exit point, the PB4L gives you that where the 6830 does not.
12) What should I specify instead of the DynaLock 6830 if release has to be restricted to authorized staff?
A pushplate is an open actuator - anyone who touches the DynaLock 6830 plate transfers its momentary SPDT contact. If release needs to be limited to key holders, the ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch, which requires a key to operate rather than a press. Facilities often use the keyswitch on the secure side and keep a PUSH TO EXIT plate like the 6830 on the egress side.
13) Is the RCI 909F-MO rocker switch an equivalent to the DynaLock 6830?
They share momentary action but differ in format and rating. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A and comes in a beige finish. The DynaLock 6830 is a momentary SPDT pushplate; DynaLock rates the PTD contact at 10 A at 125VAC and all other configurations at 6 A at 125VAC, and the plate is offered in eight architectural finishes including Satin Aluminum US28 and Dark Bronze US10B. Pick the rocker where a flush switch plate suits the wall, and the 6830 where you need an engraved egress plate in a matching door finish.
14) Which push button matches an ADA-marked barrier free opening better than the DynaLock 6830?
The DynaLock 6830 is engraved PUSH TO EXIT and can be ordered with special engraving from the factory. If you want a factory handicap symbol instead, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries a handicap symbol and is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel - same momentary action, different marking and a round format rather than the narrow recessed plate.
15) Is the DynaLock 6830 heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
It is rated heavy duty and built for commercial use, with the switch body machined from solid aluminum rather than formed sheet or molded plastic. That is the construction you want on a lobby or tenant entrance that gets pressed hundreds of times a day.
