DynaLock 6850 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the 1-60 second PTD on the DynaLock 6850 actually do?
PTD means push-to-delay: pressing the plate releases the lock and holds it released for a timed interval you set anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds, so someone has time to get through the opening before the mag lock or strike re-secures. That built-in timer is why you may not need a separate egress timer module in the loop. Switching is SPDT Form Z.
2) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock 6850 pushplate for a narrow aluminum storefront stile?
The DynaLock 6850 is a recessed narrow pushplate machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage, designed for aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out preparation. The closest narrow-profile alternative is the Trine 342 Narrow Style Electric Door Switch, which is also built for narrow stile applications. The DynaLock 6850 carries a 1 to 60 second push-to-delay timer and an SPDT Form Z contact arrangement, so if the opening needs the built-in adjustable delay rather than a plain switch, the 6850 is the one that provides it.
3) If I do not need a built-in time delay, what can I use instead of the DynaLock 6850?
The DynaLock 6850 pairs a recessed narrow pushplate with a 1 to 60 second push-to-delay timer and SPDT Form Z contacts. For a straight momentary release with no onboard delay, the Securitron PB3 Series push button or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton marked Emergency Release are simple switch-only options, and the RCI 950 Series round push plate is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. With those, any delay has to come from the access control panel or a separate timer module.
4) Is a mortise keyswitch or rotary release button an equivalent substitute for the DynaLock 6850 pushplate?
No. The DynaLock 6850 is a push-to-exit pushplate: the user presses an engraved plate and an SPDT Form Z contact set releases the lock for the 1 to 60 second delay period. The ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch requires a key to operate, so it is an authorized-user device rather than a free egress control. The RCI 919 Series rotary release button is turned rather than pushed and is a maintained device, meaning it stays in the actuated state until turned back, and the RCI 908 Series is likewise maintained. Those are not drop-in stand-ins for a momentary all-active egress pushplate.
5) What finishes does the DynaLock 6850 pushplate come in, and which is standard?
Eight finishes: Satin Aluminum US28 (the standard finish), 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 matching a storefront, the bronzes and Black Satin are the usual picks against anodized aluminum frames.
6) Is the timed PTD version the right choice, or should I use a momentary exit button?
Pick by what the lock needs. The 1-60 second PTD holds the release for a set interval, which suits a mag lock or electric strike on a storefront where the person has to pull the door and walk through. A momentary switch only releases while you press it, and DynaLock notes all momentary models in the 6700 and 6800 Series are "all active" operation. If you want a small momentary button instead of a full pushplate, the Securitron PB3 Series or Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch cover that role.
7) I need a pushplate with a handicap symbol instead of PUSH TO EXIT. Is the 6850 available that way?
The 6850 comes engraved PUSH TO EXIT; DynaLock handles other engraving as a factory special. If you need a wheelchair symbol off the shelf, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol is a momentary switch in satin stainless that serves that purpose.
8) What are the alternatives if I need an emergency release button rather than a recessed exit pushplate?
A timed exit pushplate like the 6850 is a normal egress control, not an emergency pull. For a marked emergency device, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is marked "Emergency Release" and the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button uses interchangeable LED lenses. If you need key control of the circuit instead of a push, look at the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch.
9) Does the DynaLock 6850 mount surface or does the frame have to be cut?
It is a recessed plate, so the frame does get prepped, but the narrow recessed design keeps that cut-out minimal, which is why it works in storefront stile. If you cannot cut the frame at all, a flush or surface button such as the RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch or an illuminated Securitron PB5 medium round button is the direction to go.
10) Which release button should I use instead of the DynaLock 6850 when the opening needs an illuminated or emergency-marked device?
The DynaLock 6850 is an engraved PUSH TO EXIT pushplate in solid aluminum with no lamp. When the specification calls for illumination, the Securitron PB4L Series offers an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button. For a dedicated emergency release device, the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button uses interchangeable LED lenses, and the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button carries red EXIT text with maintained operation.
11) How does the DynaLock 6850 compare with the RCI 909F-MO on switching capacity?
The DynaLock 6850 uses a PTD contact rated 10 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC at 10A. Both are therefore 10 amp devices, but the 6850 presents an engraved solid aluminum pushplate with an adjustable 1 to 60 second delay, while the 909F-MO is a flush mount rocker in a beige finish. The 6850 is offered in eight finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Dark Bronze US10B, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26, Bright Brass US3 and Satin Brass US4, which matters when the device has to match surrounding storefront hardware.
12) Is the DynaLock 6850 rated for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
It is a commercial, heavy duty egress control, machined from solid aluminum rather than formed sheet or plastic, so it holds up on doors that get pushed all day. It is not a residential device.
