DynaLock 6875 Series Handicapped Pushplates, Recessed Narrow, Alternate Action DPDT

Alternate action means the plate latches: press once and the contacts stay transferred, press again and they return. The 6875 does that on two sets of changeover contacts (DPDT), so you can switch two separate circuits at once, for example dropping a maglock and signaling an alarm panel or a status input. Use it where you want the door to stay unlocked until someone presses again, such as a held-open condition. If you want the door to release only for the duration of the press, order a momentary configuration instead; DynaLock notes all momentary models feature all active operation.

Contacts on the 6875 are rated 6 A at 125VAC (DynaLock rates 10 A at 125VAC only on PTD models). That's enough for typical low-current access control inputs and for interrupting a maglock supply within that rating. Anything above 6 A needs to be switched through a relay rather than straight off the plate.

The DynaLock 6875 is a narrow recessed handicapped pushplate machined from solid aluminum, designed specifically for installation in 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 in a narrow style for slim stile applications. The difference is the engraved blue handicapped symbol on the 6875, which the Trine 342 does not carry in its description.

Use the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol, which is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. The DynaLock 6875 is the narrow recessed form of the handicapped pushplate and mounts in the slim stile of an aluminum storefront; the RCI 950HP is round and finished in satin stainless, so it suits a wider mounting surface. Note the switching difference: the 6875 is alternate action DPDT, while the RCI 950HP is momentary.

Yes. The DynaLock 6875 is the alternate action DPDT version, meaning one press latches and the next press releases, which suits holding a mag lock released until someone presses again. Alternatives with the same latching behavior include the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum. Those two are marked EXIT or are rotary release styles rather than carrying a handicapped symbol.

Satin Aluminum US28 is the standard finish, which is what most aluminum storefront work uses. Eight finishes are offered in total: Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26 and Satin Aluminum US28. Dark and medium bronze are the usual picks to match anodized bronze storefront.

It's a commercial, heavy duty egress control machined from solid aluminum, not a stamped or plastic plate, with the handicapped symbol engraved and filled in blue rather than printed on. That construction is what holds up on a school or medical entrance where the plate gets hit hundreds of times a day.

No. The DynaLock 6875 is an ADA-style handicapped pushplate used as an egress or door-operator actuator, machined from solid aluminum with a blue engraved handicapped symbol. Emergency release devices are a different application: the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is marked "Emergency Release", and the Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses. Those are intended as emergency break-glass style releases and are labeled accordingly, so they should not be substituted where an accessible actuator is called for.

The DynaLock 6875 is a non-illuminated solid aluminum pushplate with a blue engraved handicapped symbol. For an illuminated device, look at the Securitron PB4L Series, which has an illuminated halo around a stainless push button, or the Securitron PB5 Series medium round illuminated push button. Both are round button styles rather than a narrow recessed handicapped pushplate.

The DynaLock 6805 Series rates non-PTD switch models at 6 A at 125VAC, with PTD contact models rated 10 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A, so it carries a higher voltage rating; it is a beige rocker switch rather than an engraved aluminum handicapped pushplate.

The 6875 belongs to the 6805 family. DynaLock builds both the 6705 and 6805 Series as handicapped pushplates with multiple switching configurations and finishes, so the difference between models within those series is the switching arrangement and the mounting style. The 6875 specifically is the recessed narrow plate with an alternate action DPDT switch.

Yes, and it's a common way to spec it. The same 6875 switching configuration is available across eight finishes, from Bright Brass US3 and Satin Brass US4 through the three bronzes, Black Satin US19, Bright Chrome US26 and Satin Aluminum US28. Wiring and prep stay identical from opening to opening while the plate matches whatever frame it lands in.

The Securitron PB3 Series push button is a plain push button option for a basic request-to-exit or door release circuit, without the engraved handicapped symbol and multiple finish options of the DynaLock 6875, which is offered in finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Bright Chrome US26, Dark Bronze US10B and Black Satin US19.
