Schlage Electronics 631AL EX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What kind of electrical box does the Schlage 631AL EX push-to-exit button mount in?
It mounts to a standard single gang box. The 631AL EX is a 1-1/4 inch metal button on an extreme-duty zinc faceplate with a metal cone, so the rough-in is a single gang opening in the wall or mullion. If you are working a narrow door stile instead, order the narrow stile option, which swaps in a 1-3/4 by 4-1/2 inch stainless steel plate.
2) Will the Schlage 631 push-to-exit button switch my 24V maglock circuit?
Yes, within its contact rating. The 631 pushbutton is rated 3A at 30 VDC on the momentary switch, and the product is listed for 12/24 VDC operation, so a typical 12 or 24 VDC maglock control circuit is inside that range. If your lock draws more than 3A, run the button into a relay or the access control panel rather than breaking lock power directly with the button.
3) What is the difference between the standard, alternate action, and delayed action versions of the Schlage 631 pushbutton?
Three different behaviors from the same button. Standard is momentary: the contacts change only while you are pressing, which is what you want for a request-to-exit release. Alternate action (AA) is maintained: press once to latch it on, press again to release, rated 3A at 30 VDC. Delayed pneumatic action (DA) holds the output for an adjustable 0 to 60 seconds after the press, rated 3A at 30 VDC with form Z contacts, which is how you hold a door unlocked long enough for a cart or a wheelchair to get through. Pick the one that matches how long the door has to stay released.
4) Can I get a Schlage 631 exit button with double pole double throw contacts and a delay at the same time?
No. The DPDT option and the delayed pneumatic action option cannot be combined on the same button. Choose DPDT when you need two isolated circuits switched off one press, for example dropping lock power and signaling the panel at the same time. Choose DA when you need the 0 to 60 second hold. If you need both behaviors on one opening, put the DPDT button into a timer or relay module downstream.
5) What is the difference between the Schlage 631AL EX push to exit button and a Locknetics IPB-100 illuminated pushbutton?
The Schlage 631AL EX is a 1-1/4 inch metal button on an extreme-duty zinc faceplate, engraved PUSH TO EXIT, single gang, rated 12/24 VDC. The Locknetics IPB-100 and IPB-100-N belong to the IPB Series of illuminated pushbuttons, so the button face itself is lit rather than relying on an engraved metal cap. Choose the 631AL EX where the button will take abuse and a metal cone and zinc plate matter; choose an illuminated unit where the exit point has to be found in a dark corridor.
6) I need a lighted or glow in the dark exit button - can the 631AL EX do that?
The 631 model is built around a metal button and metal cone, and the glow-in-the-dark and illuminated cone options in the 620/631 heavy duty pushbutton range are offered on the 621 and 623 models, which use a translucent cone behind a stainless steel faceplate. The 621 matches the 631 at a 1-1/4 inch button size. Another route is the Locknetics IPB-100 or IPB-100-N from the IPB Series of illuminated pushbuttons.
7) My opening is an aluminum storefront stile - is the standard single gang 631 the right choice?
The standard 631AL EX is a single gang device, which needs a box and faceplate footprint wider than a typical narrow storefront stile will accept. The 620/631 heavy duty pushbutton range is also offered with a narrow stile stainless steel plate measuring 1-3/4 inches by 4-1/2 inches, which is the configuration intended for glass front and aluminum stile installations.
8) Which Schlage 620/631 pushbutton should I use for an exterior or high abuse door?
The 631 is the extreme-duty member of the family. It uses a 1-1/4 inch metal button on a zinc faceplate with a metal cone, rather than the plastic translucent cone used on the 621, 623 and 625 models. In a school corridor, a parking garage, a loading dock, or a detention style application where the button gets hit hard, the metal cone is the reason to spec the 631 over the 621, which is the same 1-1/4 inch button size but with a stainless faceplate and translucent cone.
9) If I need a bigger button that someone can hit with an elbow or a cart, what do I order instead of the 631?
Step up to a mushroom button in the same 620 Series. The 623 gives you a 1-5/8 inch mushroom button and the 625 gives you a 2-3/4 inch mushroom, both on a stainless steel faceplate with a translucent cone. The 631 is the 1-1/4 inch flush metal button, which is the smallest target of the group. For gurney traffic or gloved hands, the 625 is the one people reach for.
10) Does the Schlage 631 push to exit button come with an LED or an illuminated button?
Not on the 631. The glow-in-the-dark and illuminated cone options are offered on the 621 and 623 models, not the metal cone 631. LED indicators are available in the 620/631 family in green, yellow and red, rated 12-24 VDC at .025A at 28VDC. If you specifically want a lit button as the visual cue, the Locknetics IPB-100 illuminated pushbutton is the other route to that.
11) If the 631AL EX metal button is too small for the application, what larger Schlage pushbutton covers the same job?
The 631AL EX uses a 1-1/4 inch metal button on an extreme-duty zinc faceplate. Within the same 620/631 heavy duty pushbutton family, the 623 steps up to a 1-5/8 inch mushroom button and the 625 to a 2-3/4 inch mushroom button, both on a stainless steel faceplate with a translucent cone. Larger mushroom buttons are typically chosen where the button must be struck with a forearm, elbow, or gloved hand rather than a fingertip.
12) I need the button to stay latched on, not just make momentary contact - what do I order instead?
The standard 631AL EX ships with a momentary switch rated 3A at 30 VDC. For a button that holds its state, the alternate action maintained configuration is rated 3A at 30 VDC, and for a timed release the delayed pneumatic action version is rated 3A at 30 VDC with form Z contacts. If the panel needs two isolated circuits switched, the double pole double throw configuration is available, though it cannot be combined with the delayed action option.
13) What finishes can I get on the Schlage 631 pushbutton to match the rest of my door hardware?
Four finishes across the 620/631 heavy duty pushbutton line: 630 satin stainless steel as the standard, SF-626 satin chrome on heavy-duty zinc, SF-625 bright chrome on heavy-duty zinc, and SF-613 oil rubbed bronze on heavy-duty zinc. The 613 is the one to pick when the openings already run dark bronze levers and pulls.
14) The button says PUSH TO EXIT, but I need a different legend. Can I get one?
Yes. The 631AL EX ships with an aluminum button engraved PUSH TO EXIT, and the 620/631 heavy duty pushbutton line offers 12 color and message combinations in multiple styles, so you can spec a different legend or color for door release, door open, or similar wording on other openings in the same building.
