Detex 1003C-630-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does key retracts latch pull trim mean on the Detex 1003C?
It means the outside trim is a pull with a cylinder, and turning the key pulls the rim latch back so someone can enter. The trim has no lever or knob that operates the latch on its own, so without the key the door stays secure from outside while free egress from inside is always available through the pushpad. That is the function commonly specified on service doors, back-of-house entries, and delivery doors where only keyholders come in.
2) Which Detex 1003C do I order for a fire rated opening, and can I get one that is also hurricane rated?
Rating is an ordering choice on the 1003C, not a separate model. You pick Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated when you specify the device, so a coastal exit that also needs to hold a fire label is covered by the combined Hurricane and Fire Rated option. One caution on the fire rated build: fire exit hardware cannot be dogged down, so pair that choice with the Less/No dogging option rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
3) Do I have to specify handing for the Detex 1003C even though it is non-handed?
The device chassis is non-handed and field sizeable, but the order still asks for Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. That is because the outside key pull trim and the strike orientation follow the door swing. Stand outside the opening: if the door swings toward you and is hinged on the right, it is right hand reverse. Get this wrong and the trim lands on the wrong side of the door.
4) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my pair of doors?
A rim device like the 1003C latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair of doors you need a removable mullion between the leaves for the latch to catch. If you cannot have a mullion, because carts or gurneys need the full clear opening, use a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad. For a single door in a frame, the rim device is the simpler and cheaper prep every time.
5) Can I get the Detex 1003C with a request to exit signal or delayed egress for my access control system?
Yes. The 1003C is offered with several electrified builds: a Request To Exit (signal) switch to shunt an alarm or release a mag lock, Electric Dogging so the access control panel can dog and undog the device on a schedule, a Hardwired Electric Alarm for a local exit alarm, and Delayed Egress for stairwell or loss prevention doors. Order None if the opening is purely mechanical. Delayed egress in particular is governed by your local code and fire alarm tie-in, so the integrator should confirm the application before it is specified.
6) Which rim exit devices can go on a wood door if the Detex 1003C cannot?
The Detex 1003C Advantex is not wood door compatible. Among rim devices that are, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is fire rated, Grade 1, narrow stile and wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch is Grade 1 narrow stile, wood door compatible, non fire rated. Both are narrow stile devices, so the door stile width has to be confirmed alongside the wood substrate.
7) The door has a narrow aluminum stile - what rim exit device should be used instead of the Detex 1003C?
The Detex 1003C Advantex is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile aluminum opening needs a narrow stile device. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches, and the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors. TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are also Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches.
8) What is a straight Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device equivalent to the Detex 1003C?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a wide stile pushpad rim exit device, 36 inches, non-handed and Grade 1, which lines up closely with the Detex 1003C Advantex 10 Series wide stile rim device in Grade 1. Corbin Russwin ED5200 is another Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inches, and TownSteel ED9700 is a heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inches. The Detex 1003C differs in that it carries key retracts latch pull trim, while the Von Duprin 22-3FT, ED5200 and ED9700 are catalogued without that trim function, so confirm the outside trim separately when cross-referencing.
9) What is the difference between the Detex 1003C and an exit only rim device like the Corbin Russwin ED2200?
The Detex 1003C Advantex is supplied with key retracts latch pull trim, meaning a keyed outside trim retracts the latch for entry from the pull side. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device catalogued as exit only, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices, also exit only, for 48 inch doors. An exit only device leaves the outside blank, so if the opening needs keyed entry the trim has to be added or a trimmed device chosen.
10) Can a pressure sense bar or electromechanical exit bar replace the Detex 1003C?
No. The SDC PSB560 SureExit 36 inch pressure sense bar, the SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar are switch or release bars used with an electromagnetic lock, not latching rim exit devices. The Detex 1003C Advantex is a rim exit device with a deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt that latches into a strike. If the opening relies on a latch rather than a maglock, those bars are not substitutes.
11) Can the Detex 1003C be dogged down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes, if you order it with dogging. Two dogging choices exist: 1/8 turn hex dogging, where a hex key holds the pushpad depressed, and cylinder dogging, where a keyed cylinder does the same thing so no loose hex wrench is needed. Cylinder dogging is what most property managers pick for tenant-facing doors because staff use the same key ring they already carry. The third choice, Less/No dogging, is the one to take on fire rated openings.
12) What is the difference between the 99 surface strike and the 98 semi-mortise strike on the Detex 1003C?
The 99 surface strike screws onto the face of the frame stop and is the straightforward retrofit choice, since it needs no cutting into the frame. The 98 semi-mortise strike is let into the frame so it sits flatter and cleaner, which is what a spec drawing usually calls for on new construction or a mullion application. Both are required order choices, so decide before you buy based on whether you are willing to prep the frame.
13) Is the Detex 1003C tough enough for a high school or a hospital exit door?
That is the environment it is built for. The 1003C is Grade 1 and tested beyond 1,000,000 cycles, twice the cycling required for Grade 1 UL testing, with a deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and stainless steel components. The angled end cap throws cart and door-stop damage away from the device rather than into it, which is the failure point on abused openings. For an equivalent Grade 1 wide stile rim device from another brand, the Von Duprin 22 Series and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 are the direct comparisons.
14) What finishes does the Detex 1003C come in if I need it to match the other doors in the building?
Ten finishes are offered on the 1003C: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. The plated finishes are applied by a PVD process over the exposed surfaces, which holds up better than lacquer on an exterior door. For most commercial buildings 630 brushed stainless or 628 brushed aluminum is what already exists on the other openings.
15) Can I rekey or change the outside trim on the Detex 1003C without pulling the device off the door?
Yes. Outside trims on the Advantex 10 Series are changed or re-keyed with the device still mounted, which is the difference that matters when you are rekeying a portfolio of buildings or a tenant turns over. No template work, no re-drilling, and the door stays hung while you work.
16) I need an exit device that locks from outside with a key pull. Which brands offer that besides Detex?
Most rim devices are sold exit-only, meaning no outside trim at all, so the key pull function narrows the field. The 1003C is specified with key retracts latch pull trim as its function. Among other options, the Dormakaba electrified rim device with 4908A trim carries a classroom function trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 are listed as accepting trim, so they can be built with outside trim. Devices like the Corbin Russwin ED2200, Marks USA M9900, and the Falcon 19-R are exit only and will not give you outside key access.
17) Is there a lighter duty alternative to the Detex 1003C for a low traffic door?
The Detex 1003C Advantex is a Grade 1 super-heavy-duty device tested beyond 1,000,000 cycles. For a lower demand opening, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim device with a push bar, also Grade 2. Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and Hager 4701 is a 36 inch standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification.
18) What fire rated rim exit device works where a fire door assembly is required?
The Detex 1003C Advantex is ordered with a rating option of Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated. Fire rated peers include the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only versions with a panic protector end cap, the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device. Note that fire rated devices are supplied without dogging, so the hex or cylinder dogging offered on the 1003C applies only to the non-rated builds.
19) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Detex 1003C rim device?
They solve different openings. The Detex 1003C Advantex is a rim device that latches into a strike on the frame or a mullion. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device; vertical rod hardware latches top and bottom and requires a prepped door. On a pair of doors, a rim device such as the 1003C needs a mullion, while a vertical rod pair does not.
20) What is a comparable electrified rim exit device to the Detex 1003C?
The Detex 1003C Advantex is ordered with electrified options of Delayed Egress, Electric Dogging, Hardwired Electric Alarm, or Request To Exit signal switch. The SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device with RX and MELR, and the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A classroom trim.
21) How hard is the Detex Advantex 1003C to install compared to other panic bars?
The Advantex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of the paper template most panic hardware ships with, so the device and strike locate off each other rather than off pencil marks. Combined with the non-handed, field sizeable chassis, one part number covers either hand and both door widths in that range. Detex publishes installation instructions, a parts list, door prep templates, and a maintenance manual for the 10 Series.
22) What wide stile rim device offers a paddle or push pad instead of the Detex 1003C touchbar?
The CRL Jackson 1095P Series is a paddle rim panic exit device, wide stile and exit only, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad wide stile rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch is a wide stile rim exit device and the Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device, exit only. The Detex 1003C Advantex is non-handed and field sizeable with a keyed pull trim, so a paddle or exit only device changes both the actuation and the outside function.
