DynaLock 6895 Series Handicapped Pushplates, Recessed Narrow, Momentary DPDT

That is exactly what the recessed narrow 6895 was built for. DynaLock states the narrow recessed models are designed for installation in aluminum store front frames and require minimal cut-out and preparation, so you are not hogging out a wide pocket in a narrow stile or mullion. If you are working with a wider wall-mounted location instead, a standard-size plate is the easier choice.

Momentary means the contacts transfer only while the plate is pressed and then return, which is what you want for releasing a mag lock or triggering an automatic operator on a push-to-open opening. DPDT gives you two independent sets of transfer contacts, so one set can drop the lock while the other signals the operator or an access control input. If you need the circuit to stay switched until someone changes it back, you want a maintained device instead, such as the RCI 919 Series rotary release button with maintained operation. DynaLock also notes all momentary models feature all active operation.

The 6895 is a recessed narrow plate and needs a pocket cut into the frame or wall. If you cannot recess, look at a surface-applied option such as the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol in satin stainless, which is a momentary switch like the 6895. Trine's 342 narrow style electric door switch is another narrow-format alternative if the constraint is stile width rather than depth.

The 6895 is a handicapped pushplate with an engraved blue handicap symbol, so it reads as a barrier-free actuator, not as an emergency release. If your code official wants a marked emergency release at the opening, use a device labeled for it, such as the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton marked Emergency Release. Many openings get both: the handicap plate for daily use and a marked release for egress.

Yes. The 6895 is a switch only, an electronic egress control that transfers dry contacts rated 6 A at 125VAC when pressed. It has no power supply, no timer, and no relay logic of its own, so your order still needs the lock power supply and, if you want a timed unlock, a separate timer or access control relay. Wire the DPDT contacts into the existing lock circuit or operator input.

The DynaLock 6895 is a narrow recessed model specifically designed for aluminum store front frames, but it carries the blue engraved handicapped symbol. For a narrow-style switch without the handicap graphic, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. Choose the 6895 when the opening is an ADA-actuated entrance and the symbol is required by the spec.

The DynaLock 6895 is a momentary DPDT model, and all momentary models in the 6805 family feature all active operation, so the contact changes state only while the plate is pressed. For an opening that has to hold the released state, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text uses maintained operation, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button is also a maintained device in satin aluminum. Those are release buttons rather than handicap pushplates, so confirm the spec does not require the ADA symbol.

Non-PTD switching configurations are rated 6 A at 125VAC. The PTD contact version is rated 10 A at 125VAC. For the 6895 momentary DPDT you are working within the 6 A at 125VAC figure, which is ample for a mag lock circuit or an operator trigger but worth checking if you are switching a motor load directly.

It is a heavy duty commercial egress control, machined from solid aluminum rather than stamped or molded, with the handicapped symbol engraved and filled blue so it will not wear off the way a printed label does. DynaLock rates the 6705 and 6805 Series as heavy duty egress controls, which is the right class for a main entry or a building lobby seeing constant use.

It will match within the same family. The 6895 belongs to the 6805 Series, which shares the solid aluminum construction and engraved blue handicap symbol with the 6705 Series, and offers multiple switching configurations and finishes across the line. If the existing plates are the wider standard size, the 6895 narrow recessed plate will look smaller in the frame, so match by size as well as finish when you are standardizing a building.

The DynaLock 6895 handicapped pushplate ships standard in Satin Aluminum US28 and is also built in Bright Brass US3, Satin Brass US4, Light Bronze US10, Dark Bronze US10B, Medium Bronze US13, Black Satin US19 and Bright Chrome US26, so it is the flexible choice when hardware across the building is bronze or brass. Among the alternatives, the RCI 919 Series rotary release is offered in satin aluminum and the RCI 950 round handicap plate in satin stainless steel.

They are not interchangeable. The DynaLock 6895 is a heavy duty solid aluminum handicapped pushplate with a momentary DPDT switch, recessed narrow format for storefront frames. The Securitron PB3 Series is a push button rather than an engraved handicap pushplate, so it does not satisfy a drawing calling for an ADA actuator with the handicap symbol. If you want a button with a lit ring instead, the Securitron PB4L is an illuminated halo stainless push button and the PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button.

The DynaLock 6895 is a push-to-activate handicapped pushplate, so anyone can operate it. Where the release must be restricted to keyholders, the ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series and requires a cylinder rather than a plate cut-out. Note that a keyswitch will not satisfy an ADA actuator requirement at an accessible entrance.

The DynaLock 6895 and the other non-PTD models in the family are rated 6 A at 125VAC, while the PTD versions are rated 10 A at 125VAC. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish. If the circuit you are switching exceeds what the 6895 contacts carry, run the plate through a relay rather than switching the load directly.
