Securitron PB4LN-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the momentary and alternate action versions of the Securitron PB4L push button?
Momentary versus maintained is the main ordering decision on the PB4L. The PB4L-2 and PB4LN-2 are momentary: the contacts transfer only while you are pressing, so the lock releases for the duration of the press and re-secures when you let go. That is the normal request-to-exit or reception release button. The PB4LA-2 and PB4LAN-2 are alternate action: one press latches the contacts over and they stay there until the next press. Use alternate for holding a mag lock or strike unlocked for a period, such as a lobby door left free during business hours. All four are DPDT.
2) Will a Securitron PB4L push button fit on a narrow aluminum storefront mullion?
Yes, if you order the narrow stile version. The PB4LN-2 (momentary) and PB4LAN-2 (alternate) come on a stainless steel narrow stile plate measuring 4-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches (114mm x 44mm), which is what goes on an aluminum door stile or a narrow mullion. The single gang plate on the PB4L-2 and PB4LA-2 is 4-1/2 x 2-3/4 inches (114mm x 70mm) and needs a standard single gang box in the wall. Same button and same electrical rating either way, only the plate differs.
3) Can the Securitron PB4L run off my 12V access control panel, or does it need 24V?
Either. The PB4L illuminated push button is rated 12/24VDC and the LED halo draws 20 mA at 12 VDC or 40 mA at 24 VDC, so it runs off whatever your panel or power supply already provides without a separate supply. Budget that current on the same output feeding the button, since the halo is lit continuously rather than only on press.
4) How much current can the Securitron PB4L switch handle for a mag lock or electric strike?
The PB4L carries 4 amp rated contacts, which is enough to break the coil current of a typical mag lock or electric strike directly, so in many installs you can put the button in series with the lock power without adding a relay. It is a DPDT switch, so you get a second isolated pole for the things that usually need it: signalling the access control panel, shunting an alarm zone, or triggering an automatic operator at the same time you drop the lock.
5) What is the closest alternate-action single gang push button to the Securitron PB4LA-2?
The PB4LA-2 is a single gang, DPDT, alternate action button with a 1/2 inch green illuminated halo. If an alternate action single gang button is what the opening needs and the illuminated halo is not required, the DynaLock 6115A is a one pushbutton, 1 gang, alternate action unit in the 6000 Push Button series. The functional difference is the halo illumination and the bi-color LED on the Securitron, plus the DPDT contact arrangement, which gives a second isolated pole for signaling a monitoring point or an alarm shunt off the same press.
6) The door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile - what release button fits?
The PB4LN-2 and PB4LAN-2 use the stainless steel narrow stile plate at 4-1/2 inch by 1-3/4 inch [114mm x 44mm], sized for a narrow stile face where the 4-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch single gang plate will not land. The Trine 342 is also a narrow style electric door switch for the same kind of opening. Choose between them on whether you need the illuminated green halo and the DPDT momentary or alternate action that the PB4L narrow stile models carry.
7) We need an ADA push plate at the entrance, not a small button - what should we order instead?
The PB4L buttons are 1/2 inch halo buttons on a stainless plate, meant to be pressed with a finger. For an accessible entrance where a user needs a large target, the RCI 950 Series round push plate carries a handicap symbol, momentary switch action, and a satin stainless steel finish. The DynaLock 6210 palm switch is a further option in that direction, an alternate-action SPDT palm-operated button rather than a momentary one.
8) Can a Securitron PB4L go on an exterior door, or do we need something different?
The PB4L single gang models take the WCC and WBB weather options, which cover all single gang push buttons, keyswitches and keypads - the narrow stile models are not part of that option list. Where a fully weatherproof assembly is wanted from the start, the DynaLock 6171 is a weatherproof pushbutton with a blank faceplate in the 6170 series. That one gives up the green illuminated halo and the marked face, so pick it where the environment matters more than the visual cue.
9) What is the difference between the Securitron PB4L and an RCI 908 exit button?
Both are wall-mounted release switches, but they are not the same device on the wall. The PB4L-2 is a momentary DPDT button with a green illuminated halo and a bi-color LED, drawing 20 mA at 12 VDC or 40 mA at 24 VDC. The RCI 908-RE-MA 32D is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation - maintained means the contact stays transferred until the button is pressed again, which is the PB4LA-2 behavior rather than the PB4L-2 behavior. If the drawing calls for a momentary release, the 908 with maintained operation is not a drop-in for it.
10) Why does the Securitron PB4L push button have a bi-color LED, and what does it show?
The halo ring around the PB4L button is a bi-color LED, so the button itself doubles as door status annunciation instead of you mounting a separate indicator. Wired to the second pole or to a lock status output, the ring changes color to show locked versus released, which is what a receptionist or guard needs to see at a glance from across a lobby. The green illuminated halo is the standard state on all four PB4L models.
11) Is there an outdoor or weatherproof version of the Securitron PB4L?
The PB4L plate itself is an interior stainless button. For an exterior door, Securitron lists WCC and WBB weather options that apply to all single gang push buttons, which covers the PB4L-2 and PB4LA-2 but not the narrow stile PB4LN-2 or PB4LAN-2. If you need a button that is weatherproof out of the box, the DynaLock 6171 Series weatherproof pushbutton with blank faceplate is a different route to the same result.
12) Should I use a push button like the Securitron PB4L or a key switch to release my door?
It comes down to who you want releasing the door. A push button like the PB4L is for anyone on the secure side: reception, a nurse station, or a free-egress button by the door. Anybody who can reach it can operate it. If release needs to be restricted to staff with a key, a mortise key switch such as the ACSI 1310-1 is the right device instead. If the button must be for emergency use only and clearly marked as such, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a momentary pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release.
13) What is a good alternative to the Securitron PB4L illuminated push button?
For a like-for-like alternate action button in a single gang plate, the DynaLock 6115A is a one-pushbutton, 1 gang, alternate action unit from the 6000 Series. If the opening is a narrow aluminum stile, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is the other narrow option. Where the door is an ADA operator activation rather than a lock release, you want a push plate instead: the RCI 950 Series round push plate with the handicap symbol is a momentary switch in satin stainless. Those are different devices for different jobs, so pick by what the button is doing, not by size alone.
14) I need a large palm-sized button, not a small round one. Is the Securitron PB4L the right choice?
No. The PB4L is a 1/2 inch round button in a 4-1/2 x 2-3/4 inch or 4-1/2 x 1-3/4 inch stainless plate, sized for a finger press. If you need something someone can hit with a palm, elbow or gurney, look at the DynaLock 6210 Series palm switch, which is an alternate-action SPDT device. Note the 6210 is SPDT, a single set of contacts, where the PB4L is DPDT and gives you a second pole for panel signalling.
15) Can I standardize on the Securitron PB4L across a building where some doors are hollow metal and some are aluminum storefront?
Yes, and that is the usual reason to pick this series. The PB4L family gives you the same green illuminated halo button, the same DPDT switching and the same 4 amp contacts in two plate sizes, so the hollow metal openings with a single gang box get the PB4L-2 or PB4LA-2 and the aluminum storefront stiles get the PB4LN-2 or PB4LAN-2. Buttons look and behave identically to the occupants, and your electricians stock one part family. Choose momentary or alternate per opening.
16) The specification calls for an emergency release button - is the Securitron PB4L the right part?
The PB4L faces carry an illuminated green halo button with no lettering, so it reads as a request-to-exit or release button rather than a marked emergency device. Where the specification wants the face itself to say what it does, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release. Use the PB4L where the button is a routine release point and the ACSI where the marked legend is part of the requirement.
17) We want the release to require a key, not just a press - what replaces the PB4L?
The PB4L is a push button anyone at the door can operate, rated at 12/24VDC. For a release that only an authorized holder can trigger, the ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch in the 1300 series, which mortises into the door or frame and is turned with a key rather than pressed. That is a different install prep from the PB4L stainless plate, so plan the opening for one or the other.
18) Will a DynaLock 6300 work in place of a Securitron PB4L push button?
No - they do different jobs. The PB4L is a push button with 4 A rated contacts that releases a lock, alone or with door closers and other hardware. The DynaLock 6300 is an audible annunciator rated 6-28 VDC, an output device that sounds rather than an input the user presses. A 6300 is something you might drive alongside a release button, not something that takes its place.
19) What is the stainless push button plate on the Securitron PB4L made of, and will it hold up in a busy lobby or apartment entry?
Both plate sizes are stainless steel, which is why this one gets specified for commercial entries, multifamily lobbies and healthcare corridors where a plastic faceplate gets scuffed or cracked. The button is a 1/2 inch round with the illuminated halo around it. It is a commercial-rated device, not a residential doorbell-style part.
20) What if we want a switch that stays where it is set and is not a button at all?
The PB4LA-2 and PB4LAN-2 give alternate action in a button form, where each press flips the state. If the operator would rather see the position of the control, the RCI 919-MA 28 is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish, and the RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish. Those two also move away from the stainless steel plate and green halo the PB4L uses.
