DynaLock 6852 Series Pushplates, Recessed Narrow, Alternate Action DPDT

It latches. The 6852 is an alternate action DPDT switch, so one press transfers the contacts and holds them, and the next press returns them. That suits holding a maglock released for a delivery or propping an opening in an unlocked state. If you want the door to release only while the button is held, pick one of the momentary 6800 models instead, which are the ones with the "all active" contact operation.

The DynaLock 6852 is a recessed narrow pushplate designed for installation in aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out preparation. A comparable narrow-profile option is the Trine 342 Narrow Style Electric Door Switch, which is also built in a narrow style for slim frame stiles. The 6852 is machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage and uses an alternate action DPDT switch; the Trine 342 is an electric door switch in the 342 series.

The DynaLock 6852 uses alternate action DPDT switching, meaning the contacts latch in position with each press rather than returning on release. If you need momentary action, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel, and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is a momentary unit marked Emergency Release. Note that DynaLock momentary models within the same pushplate family feature all active operation.

The plate is machined from solid aluminum with "PUSH TO EXIT" engraved into it, so no stick-on label is needed. DynaLock will do special engraving on request through the factory if your facility needs different wording.

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. US28 matches clear anodized aluminum storefront; the bronzes cover dark anodized frames.

Two pole double throw gives you a second isolated contact set, which is what you want when one set drops the maglock or electric strike and the other signals the access control panel, shunts an alarm zone, or drives an indicator. If you only need a single dry contact to break a lock circuit, a single-pole button such as the Securitron PB3 or the Trine 342 narrow style switch covers it with less wiring.

Depends on the opening. In a narrow aluminum frame, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is the closest alternative in shape. On a wall or a wide mullion where plate size is not a constraint, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text is available in a maintained version like the 6852's latching action, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button gives a twist-to-release action in Satin Aluminum. For a life-safety emergency release, the Securitron EEB with interchangeable LED lenses or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER marked "Emergency Release" are the buttons made for that duty. An ADA-marked option is the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol.

Yes. If the alternate action DPDT of the 6852 is not the form factor you want but you still need latching behavior, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text offers maintained operation, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button is also a maintained-operation device, supplied in satin aluminum. The 6852 is a recessed narrow pushplate with engraved PUSH TO EXIT lettering, standard in Satin Aluminum US28.

The DynaLock 6852 is a non-illuminated pushplate machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage. For an illuminated device, the Securitron PB4L Series pairs a stainless push button with an illuminated halo, the Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button, and the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button uses interchangeable LED lenses.

The DynaLock 6852 is a push to exit pushplate, so anyone at the door can release it. If the opening requires a keyed release so only authorized staff can operate it, the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch from the 1300 series is the device to specify instead of a pushplate.

The DynaLock 6852 is a recessed narrow pushplate machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage and alternate action DPDT switching, offered in eight finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Dark Bronze US10B and Bright Chrome US26. The RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A with a beige finish, so it is a rocker rather than a pushplate and comes in a single beige appearance.

The DynaLock 6852 carries engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage as standard. If the graphic you need is the accessibility symbol, the RCI 950 Series round push plate is supplied with a handicap symbol in satin stainless steel with momentary switching. Special engraving on DynaLock pushplates is available by consulting the factory.

It is rated heavy duty and built for commercial service, with the body machined from solid aluminum rather than molded plastic. That is the reason these get specified on retail and office storefront doors that see constant egress traffic.

Yes. The 6700 and 6800 pushplates are one family offered in multiple switching configurations and finishes, with narrow recessed versions for aluminum storefront and other configurations for the remaining openings. You can keep a single engraved "PUSH TO EXIT" appearance and one finish, such as Satin Aluminum US28, across the facility while varying the switch type per door.
