DynaLock 6855 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a DynaLock 6855 pushplate fit in an aluminum storefront frame?
That is exactly what the narrow recessed 6855 is built for. DynaLock designs the narrow recessed models of the 6805 Series for installation in aluminum store front frames, and they require only minimal cut-out and preparation, so you are not hogging out a wide pocket in a narrow stile. If your opening is a hollow metal or wood door instead, a surface or wide recessed pushplate is the easier install.
2) What does the 1-60 second PTD on the DynaLock 6855 actually do?
PTD is the built-in push-to-delay timer. Press the plate and the contacts transfer, then hold that state for an adjustable interval anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds before returning, which is how you give a wheelchair user time to clear a door after releasing a maglock or triggering an operator. The 6855 is the timed version rather than a plain momentary plate, so you do not need a separate timer module in the can.
3) What contacts does the DynaLock 6855 switch, and what load can they carry?
SPDT Form Z, meaning one common with a normally open and a normally closed contact that transfer together, so you can break a maglock circuit and make an operator circuit off the same press. On the PTD models the contact rating is 10 A at 125 VAC; the non-PTD configurations in the series are rated 6 A at 125 VAC.
4) Can one DynaLock 6855 both release a maglock and signal a door operator?
Yes, because the switch is SPDT Form Z. The normally closed side can be wired in series with the maglock power to break it, while the normally open side closes to give the automatic operator its dry-contact activation, and the PTD holds both in that state for the interval you set, up to 60 seconds. At 10 A and 125 VAC the PTD contacts will handle a typical operator control circuit directly.
5) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock 6855 narrow recessed pushplate for a narrow aluminum storefront stile?
The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch, so it addresses the same narrow stile application the DynaLock 6855 recessed narrow pushplate is designed for in aluminum store front frames. The DynaLock 6855 carries the blue engraved handicapped symbol and a 1-60 second pneumatic time delay with an SPDT Form "Z" contact rated 10 A at 125VAC; if the opening needs a handicapped symbol plus built-in timing at the plate, the 6855 is the one that provides it.
6) Is there a handicap-symbol push plate other than the DynaLock 6855 if the door prep is a round cutout instead of a narrow rectangle?
Yes. The RCI 950HP is a round push plate with a handicap symbol and a momentary switch in satin stainless steel, which suits a round prep. The DynaLock 6855 is a narrow recessed plate machined from solid aluminum, intended for aluminum store front frames with minimal cut-out, and it uses a 1-60 second pneumatic time delay rather than a plain momentary contact.
7) Can I use a Securitron EEB or an ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER instead of a DynaLock 6855 pushplate?
Those are not interchangeable in intent. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked "Emergency Release" - both are emergency-release devices. The DynaLock 6855 is a heavy duty egress control pushplate with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, used for everyday accessible egress and door release rather than emergency-only release.
8) What should I use instead of a DynaLock 6855 if the release has to stay latched on until someone resets it?
For maintained operation, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text is offered in a maintained version, and the RCI 919 rotary release button is available with maintained operation in satin aluminum. The DynaLock 6855 is a momentary-style egress pushplate with a 1-60 second pneumatic time delay, so it releases for a timed interval and then restores itself rather than staying latched.
9) Is the DynaLock 6855 pushplate durable enough for a high-traffic public entrance?
It is a heavy duty egress control machined from solid aluminum, not a stamped plate or a plastic button, and the handicapped symbol is engraved rather than printed so it will not wear off under constant palm and elbow contact. It is a commercial-grade device intended for that kind of traffic.
10) What are the alternatives to the DynaLock 6855 if I need a round handicap push plate instead of a narrow recessed one?
For a round plate with the handicap symbol, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol in satin stainless steel is the closest swap, though it is a momentary switch rather than a timed one. If the constraint is narrow stile rather than shape, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is the other narrow option we carry. For a plain exit button with no accessibility symbol, look at the Securitron PB3 or the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button.
11) Will the DynaLock 6855 match push plates already installed elsewhere in my building?
If the other plates are DynaLock 6705 or 6805 Series units, yes, the 6855 is part of that family and shares the same solid aluminum construction and blue engraved handicapped symbol. Match the finish code to what is on the existing doors, which is most often Satin Aluminum US28 on storefront work. Note the 6855 is the narrow recessed configuration, so the visible plate size will differ from a wide or surface model in the same series.
12) Which push button should I choose over the DynaLock 6855 if the customer wants the button to light up?
For an illuminated device, the Securitron PB4L offers an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button. The DynaLock 6855 is not illuminated; it is a solid aluminum plate with a blue engraved handicapped symbol, available in finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Bright Chrome US26, Black Satin US19, Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, and light, medium and dark bronze.
13) If I do not need a time delay, what is a simpler substitute for the DynaLock 6855?
For a straight momentary release without on-board timing, the Securitron PB3 series push button or the RCI 950HP momentary push plate cover that function. The DynaLock 6855 is the version with a 1-60 second pneumatic time delay and an SPDT Form "Z" contact rated 10 A at 125VAC, which is what you choose when the plate itself has to hold the release open for a set interval instead of relying on a separate timer.
14) Is a mortise keyswitch like the ACSI 1310-1 a substitute for a DynaLock 6855 pushplate?
No. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch, so operation requires a key and an authorized holder. The DynaLock 6855 is a handicapped pushplate for accessible egress that anyone can press, which is the point of the blue engraved handicapped symbol. Use the keyswitch for controlled authorization and the 6855 where the door must be released by any occupant.
15) For a high-current switching load, how does the DynaLock 6855 compare with the RCI 909F-MO?
The RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A with a beige finish. The DynaLock 6855 PTD version carries a contact rating of 10 A at 125VAC on an SPDT Form "Z" contact, while DynaLock's non-PTD configurations in the family are rated 6 A at 125VAC. The 6855 also differs in form: it is a narrow recessed aluminum plate with a handicapped symbol rather than a rocker.
