DynaLock 6941 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does DPDT momentary mean on the DynaLock 6941 pushplate, and when would I need it instead of SPDT?
DPDT is double pole double throw: two independent switched circuits operated by one press. Momentary means the contacts transfer only while the plate is pressed, then return. You want DPDT on the 6941 when one press has to do two things at once, for example dropping power to a maglock while simultaneously triggering an alarm shunt, a door position annunciator, or a second controller input. If you only need one circuit switched, an SPDT model in the same 6901 Series is enough. The 6941's momentary models use "all active" operation.
2) What box do I need to rough in for a DynaLock 6941 pushplate?
The 6941 is a double gang pushplate, so the rough-in is a 2-gang box or 2-gang mud ring, not a single gang. Plan that in with the electrician before the wall closes, because swapping a 2-gang plate onto a single gang box is not a field fix.
3) Can the DynaLock 6941 switch a maglock circuit directly, or do I need a relay?
Contacts on the 6941 are rated 6 A at 125VAC, UL, which is ample for breaking the low-current AC input side of a typical maglock power supply or for signaling an access control panel. The higher 10 A at 125VAC rating in the 6901 Series applies to the PTD (pneumatic time delay) models, not the momentary DPDT. Stay inside the 6 A figure; if your load exceeds it, switch a relay with the plate instead.
4) I need the door to stay unlocked after one press, not just while held. Is the 6941 the right model?
No. The 6941 is momentary, so the circuit transfers only while the plate is pressed and reverts as soon as you let go. For latch-in operation you want an alternate action (maintained) model in the 6901 Series, designated A-A, or a PTD model if you need a timed hold instead. Among other brands we carry, the RCI 908 Series exit button and the RCI 919 Series rotary release both run maintained operation.
5) What is a comparable exit pushbutton if a double gang pushplate is too large for the wall box?
The DynaLock 6941 is a double gang pushplate machined from solid aluminum with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage, so it needs a double gang opening. Where only a smaller opening is available, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch, and the Securitron PB3 is a push button rather than a gang plate. The RCI 950 Series round push plate is another round-format momentary switch.
6) Which release switch should be used where the contact needs to stay latched instead of momentary?
The DynaLock 6941 is a momentary DPDT device, and DynaLock notes that all momentary models feature all active operation, so the contacts transfer only while the plate is pressed. For a latched output, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button is a maintained operation device with red EXIT text, and the RCI 919 Series rotary release button is also maintained.
7) Is the DynaLock 6941 pushplate marked for egress, or do I have to add a label?
No label needed. Every 6901 Series plate, including the 6941, comes with "PUSH TO EXIT" engraved into the face. Lettering is black, 1/8 inch stroke, and a minimum of 1 inch character height, so it reads as permanent signage rather than an applied decal that gets peeled off.
8) Will a DynaLock 6941 pushplate hold up in a school corridor or hospital exit?
It is built for that kind of traffic. The 6941 is a heavy duty, commercial-rated plate machined from solid aluminum and made tamper resistant, which is the reason it gets specified on high-abuse egress openings instead of a plastic-bodied button. The large plate face also suits gloved hands and elbow presses.
9) What finishes does the DynaLock 6941 pushplate come in if I need it to match existing door hardware?
Eight finishes are offered: 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. That covers matching brass or bronze lever trim as well as the usual aluminum storefront look. If nothing is specified on the order, US28 is what ships as standard.
10) Do I want a large pushplate or a small round exit button for a request-to-exit station?
A double gang plate like the DynaLock 6941 is the choice where the button is a life-safety egress control that has to be found fast, pressed hard, and not defeated, and where you need two circuits switched at once. Compact round or narrow-style buttons are for tidier, lower-profile applications: the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol, the Securitron PB3 or the illuminated PB5, or the Trine 342 narrow style switch for a mullion or jamb where there is no room for a 2-gang box.
11) My AHJ wants an emergency release station with a cover or a key override instead of a plain push plate. What should I look at?
The 6941 is an engraved PUSH TO EXIT plate with no cover or key control, so it will not satisfy that requirement on its own. For an emergency-release device, the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER, which is marked "Emergency Release", are the devices to price. Where the AHJ wants key-operated control rather than a button, look at the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch.
12) Which push button options are illuminated, since the 6941 pushplate is not?
The DynaLock 6941 is a tamper resistant aluminum pushplate with engraved lettering and no illumination. For a lit station, the Securitron PB4L has an illuminated halo with a stainless push button, the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button, and the Securitron EEB uses interchangeable LED lenses.
13) Can a mortise keyswitch be used in place of the DynaLock 6941 pushplate?
No, they do different jobs. The DynaLock 6941 is a momentary DPDT pushplate that anyone can press for egress. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series, which requires a key to actuate and mortises into the door or frame rather than covering a double gang box, so it suits authorized release rather than free egress.
14) Is the RCI 909F-MO an equivalent switch to the DynaLock 6941?
Both are momentary devices, but the format differs. The RCI 909 Series 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish. The DynaLock 6941 is a solid aluminum double gang pushplate with engraved PUSH TO EXIT signage, offered in eight architectural finishes including Satin Aluminum US28, Dark Bronze US10B, and Bright Chrome US26, so it matches surrounding door hardware rather than a plastic wall device.
15) Which release device should be specified for an ADA accessible entrance instead of the 6941?
The DynaLock 6941 pushplate is engraved PUSH TO EXIT and does not carry an accessibility symbol. Where the station must be marked for accessible use, the RCI 950 Series round push plate is offered with a handicap symbol as a momentary switch in satin stainless steel.
