Detex 03-AN-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 02/03 escutcheon trim work on a V40 rim device, or only on the V50 vertical rod?
Both. The 02/03 function escutcheon trim is built for the Detex V40 Series rim exit devices and the V50 Series surface vertical rod devices, so the same trim covers either device on your openings.
2) What does night latch function actually do on a Detex exit device trim?
Night latch means the key retracts the latch bolt to let someone in from the outside, and nothing else. There is no lever or knob to dog the latch down, and the key only comes out in the locked position, so the door relocks behind whoever entered. Push from the inside always works, since the exit device itself is unaffected. That is the arrangement most people want on a rear service door or an after-hours retail exit.
3) Do I have to order a rim cylinder with this Detex trim, or does one come with it?
That is your call at order time. The trim is offered either with the cylinder or less cylinder, so if you are keying the door into an existing system with your own mortise or rim cylinders, take the less-cylinder version and supply the cylinder yourself. If you have no cylinder on hand, order it with one.
4) What is the difference between the nightlatch pull plate and the dummy pull plate on this Detex trim?
The nightlatch plate takes a cylinder and gives keyed entry from outside. The dummy pull plate is a pull only, no key, no entry function, so the door is exit-only from the inside and stays locked from outside. Both are narrow stile pull plate trims for the same devices. Pick the dummy plate where you never want outside access, and the nightlatch where staff or deliveries need a key in.
5) Will this Detex trim fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Yes, these are narrow stile pull plate trims, so they are cut for the tight stile of an aluminum glass door rather than a wide hollow metal stile. Glass front installers working V40 rim devices on storefront pairs are the main use.
6) I need a whole vertical rod exit device, not just the trim. What are my options?
This Detex part is exterior trim only, it does not include the exit device. If you need a complete surface vertical rod device, ZenSupply carries the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 wide stile Grade 1 for a 36 inch door, and the Marks USA M9900VR for 36 x 84 or 48 x 84 exit-only openings. Note that Detex trim mounts to Detex V40 and V50 devices, so mixing brands is not a plan.
7) Can a Von Duprin 8827-3FT be used in place of the Detex 02/03 escutcheon trim?
No - these are two different classes of hardware. The Detex 02/03 is exterior escutcheon trim that mounts on the pull side of a door and drives a V40 rim or V50 surface vertical rod exit device that is already on the door; it has no latching mechanism of its own. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a complete wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in the 88 Series, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door has no exit device on it yet, the 8827-3FT is the part that makes it work; if the push side is already fitted with a Detex V40 or V50, the 02/03 trim is what adds keyed outside access.
8) We need a complete vertical rod exit device for a fire rated opening, not just outside trim - what should we look at?
The Detex 02/03 escutcheon trim is an outside trim only and does not carry a fire rating of its own. For a fire rated opening you need a fire rated device: the Delaney F9100 Series in the 36 by 84 inch size is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR in 36 by 84 inch and the M9900F-VR in 48 by 84 inch, both fire rated exit only. Note that fire rated vertical rod openings do not permit a night latch dogging arrangement the way a non-rated opening might, so confirm the outside trim function against the door schedule.
9) The Detex 02/03 is narrow stile trim - what vertical rod devices are wide stile instead?
The Detex 02/03 pull plate trim is built for narrow stile doors, which is the typical aluminum storefront profile. If the opening is a wide stile door such as hollow metal or a wide aluminum rail, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are both listed as wide stile surface vertical rod devices, each Grade 1. Stile width is the first thing to measure on a retrofit, because narrow stile trim will not have enough face material to land on a wide stile door prep and the cylinder location will not line up.
10) Do I need to know the door thickness before ordering this Detex escutcheon trim?
No. The cylinder bracket kit uses a spring loaded tailpiece that self adjusts to the door thickness, so you are not ordering a thickness specific part or cutting a tailpiece to length on site.
11) Can I change from a dummy pull to a keyed nightlatch later without pulling the exit device off the door?
Yes. The trim is detachable, so you can swap between the 01, 02 and 03 functions without dismounting the device itself. For a property manager changing how a door behaves after a tenant change, that is a trim swap and a few screws, not a full device removal and re-prep.
12) What material and finish choices come on the Detex 02/03 trim?
Three constructions: A and AN steel stampings for high abuse and high traffic, P and PN aluminum stampings, and WS forged brass. Finishes run 628 satin aluminum, 629 polished stainless, 630 brushed stainless and 689 painted aluminum, plus brass, bronze and painted options. For a warehouse or school perimeter door, the steel stampings are the ones to spec.
13) If the opening is a fire rated exit, can I use this Detex nightlatch trim?
The 02/03 trim is BHMA compliant for functionality and design in commercial work, but a fire opening is decided by the device and the label, not the trim. If you are specifying a fire rated vertical rod assembly, ZenSupply carries fire rated devices such as the Delaney F9100 Series Grade 1 and the Marks USA M9900FVR in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84.
14) Can I standardize one trim across several buildings with mixed Detex rim and vertical rod devices?
Yes, and that is the practical argument for it. One escutcheon trim part covers both the V40 rim devices and the V50 surface vertical rod devices, and the detachable design lets you set 01, 02 or 03 function per door from the same trim family. Pick one finish across the portfolio and your only per-door decision is nightlatch versus dummy, and whether you supply your own cylinder.
15) If the opening only needs to be exit only with no key access from outside, do we still need the Detex 02/03 trim?
No. The Detex 02/03 exists to give keyed outside access - the night latch version retracts the latch with a key, and a dummy pull plate version gives a pull with no key function at all. If the door is exit only and nobody comes in through it, you can run a device with no outside trim: the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 by 84 inch and 48 by 84 inch, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series, and the Cal-Royal 9860 are all catalogued exit only. Choosing exit only means the door can only be entered from the other side, so confirm that suits the building's circulation before you drop the trim.
16) We standardize on Grade 1 vertical rod hardware for our facilities - how does the Detex 02/03 fit that standard?
The Detex 02/03 is escutcheon trim that meets BHMA standards for functionality and design in commercial applications, and its grade follows the V40 or V50 device it is mounted to rather than being rated as a standalone assembly. If your specification calls out a Grade 1 vertical rod device outright, the Delaney 9100 Series and 8100 Series in 36 by 84 inch, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT are all catalogued Grade 1. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 heavy duty, which is a different tier for a facility standardizing at Grade 1.
17) What is the difference between ordering the Detex 02/03 less rim cylinder and ordering it complete?
The Detex 02/03 night latch trim is offered both less rim cylinder and with the cylinder included. Less cylinder is the order a locksmith or a facility on a restricted keyway places, because the rim cylinder gets supplied from their own keying system and pinned to the master key. Taking it with the cylinder is the simpler path when the door does not need to fall into an existing key system. Either way the cylinder bracket kit uses a spring loaded tailpiece that adjusts to door thickness, so you are not ordering a thickness specific part. The dummy pull plate version has no key function, so the cylinder question does not apply to it in the same way.
18) Is the Detex 02/03 trim tough enough for a high traffic warehouse or retail back door?
The A and AN trim types are heavy duty steel stampings built specifically for high abuse and high traffic, which covers retail, warehouse and institutional doors. Aluminum P/PN stampings are the lighter option and better suited to less punished openings.
