LCN 8310-806K – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the 8310-806K a door operator, or just the control for one?
It is the control only. The 8310-806K is a key-operated switch that tells an LCN automatic operator what mode to run in; it does not open the door and it does not replace the operator. You still need the Senior Swing, Benchmark, or 4630/4640 operator itself, ordered with the CS option, plus whatever actuator you use for normal daily activation.
2) What do the three positions on the LCN 8310-806K key switch actually do?
On, Off, and Hold Open. On lets the operator run normally so the door powers open when triggered. Off takes the operator out of service so the door works as a manual door. Hold Open parks the door open, which is what a facility uses during move-in, deliveries, or high-traffic periods. The key means only staff with the key can change which mode the opening is in.
3) Is a Command Access REX kit an alternative to the LCN 8310-806K for controlling a power operator?
No - the two do different jobs even though both are switches. The LCN 8310-806K is a key-operated three-position On/Off/Hold Open switch used with Senior Swing, Benchmark, or 4630/4640 operators ordered with the (CS) option, so it gives staff administrative control over whether the operator runs at all. Command Access request-to-exit kits are field-installable switch kits built into exit hardware or mortise locks to signal egress: the CRSREXKIT-ED fits Cal Royal 22/98 and Sargent 80 Series exit devices with an SPDT switch, the CYREXKIT-ED fits Corbin 5000 and Yale 7000 exit devices, and the REX-KIT-ML fits ML1-Series mortise locks. A REX kit reports that someone is leaving; it does not switch an operator on, off, or into hold open.
4) Our operator keeps getting activated after hours - is a delayed egress sounder or a piezo horn the fix instead of a key switch?
Those are annunciation devices, not control devices. The RCI 914 Series is a delayed egress sounder with field-selectable volume output up to 102dB, and the Adams Rite 29-0218 is a piezo electric horn with multi-voltage compatibility; both make noise in response to a condition. To actually stop an LCN Senior Swing, Benchmark, or 4630/4640 operator from running after hours, the LCN 8310-806K three-position key switch is the device that does it - the Off position removes operation from anyone without the key, and Hold Open covers the opposite case during business hours.
5) Is the LCN 3-position key switch ADA compliant?
Yes, the 8310-806K carries an ADA compliant designation in its spec data. Worth understanding what that covers: it is the mode-control switch for the operator, not the push plate or wave sensor a person uses to open the door. The accessible activation device is a separate part in the LCN operator accessory line.
6) Can I use a key switch to lock out the automatic operator after hours?
That is exactly what the Off position on the LCN 8310-806K does. Turn the key to Off and the operator stops responding to actuators, so the opening behaves as a manual door and nobody can trigger it from a push plate. Because it is key-operated, tenants and the public cannot put it back on. It is a mode control, not a lock, so the door's own locking hardware still handles security.
7) Should I use a key switch or a card reader to control our automatic door operator?
Different jobs. The LCN 8310-806K sets the operator's mode (On, Off, Hold Open) and is what a building engineer or manager touches a few times a day, so it suits a maintenance closet or staff-side wall location. Credential activation for individual users is a separate layer: DynaLock offers the 7551 Series proximity card and the 7561 Series proximity tag for credential-based access. Many buildings run both, the keyswitch for mode control and credentials for who gets in.
8) I have several LCN operators in the building, can I standardize on one key switch across all of them?
Yes, provided every operator is a Senior Swing, Benchmark, or 4630/4640 with the CS option. The 8310-806K applies across all three of those operator families, so a facility running a mix of them can put the same 3-position control at each opening and train staff on one device. Openings with operators that lack the CS option will need that option added before the switch applies.
9) I need to mount a control switch on a wall with no back box - does the Cal-Royal 8641-SM replace the LCN 8310-806K?
They are complementary rather than interchangeable. The Cal-Royal 8641-SM is a single gang surface mount box in the 8600 Series - an enclosure for surface applications where there is no recessed box in the wall. The LCN 8310-806K is the key switch itself, a three-position On/Off/Hold Open control for Senior Swing, Benchmark, and 4630/4640 operators with the (CS) option. If the wall cannot be cut for a flush box, the surface mount box addresses the mounting problem; it does not provide any operator control on its own.
10) What is the difference between the LCN 8310-806K key switch and the Dortronics 6510/COV cover?
The 8310-806K is the control device: a keyed three-position switch that turns an LCN Senior Swing, Benchmark, or 4630/4640 operator on, off, or into hold open when the operator carries the (CS) option. The Dortronics 6510/COV is an anti-tamper alarm cover for 6500 Series pull stations and 5000 Series push buttons - it sits over an existing actuator to discourage misuse and does not switch anything itself. Secure control by key and secure control by tamper cover are two different approaches to the same nuisance-activation problem, applied to different devices.
11) Is this key switch rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 8310-806K is classed as a commercial electronic accessory in the LCN 8310 Series, which is the accessory family that supports LCN's automatic operator line for healthcare, education, retail, and government openings. It is not a residential garage or entry-door product.
12) For a glass entrance with an LCN operator, do the Securitron glass door accessories do the same thing as the 8310-806K?
No. Securitron Glass Door Accessories are Grade 2 hardware for the glass door itself, and the Securitron SAM Surface Mount Kit Accessories and SWB SAM Wood Bracket cover mounting an SAM magnetic lock to the opening. All three solve how hardware attaches to a door or frame. The LCN 8310-806K is an electronic keyed switch that controls operator behavior - On, Off, or Hold Open - on Senior Swing, Benchmark, and 4630/4640 operators with the (CS) option, and is specified for commercial applications with ADA compliant operation. On a glass front with an LCN operator you may need both: the mounting hardware for the leaf, and the key switch for administrative control of the automation.
13) Can I use a proximity card or tag reader credential instead of a keyed operator switch?
They control different things. DynaLock offers the 7551 Series proximity card and the 7561 Series proximity tag as credentials for a card-read access point, which grants entry to a person presenting a credential. The LCN 8310-806K is a supervisory control: a keyed three-position switch that sets whether a Senior Swing, Benchmark, or 4630/4640 operator with the (CS) option is on, off, or held open for the whole opening. A credential decides who gets in; the key switch decides what the operator is doing all day. Facilities that standardize on card access commonly still carry the key switch so a manager can hold the door open for a delivery or shut the automation down for service.
