Detex 100868 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Detex 100868 mortise cylinder position plate actually do?
It's the plate that holds a mortise cylinder in correct alignment inside a Detex exit device. If the cylinder has shifted or the plate is bent or missing, the cylinder no longer sits square to the mechanism and key operation of the latch gets sloppy or stops working. The 100868 is the Detex OEM part that restores that alignment.
2) Can I replace just the cylinder position plate, or do I have to replace the whole Detex exit device?
Just the plate. The 100868 is sold as an individual replacement part so you can swap the cylinder position plate without pulling and replacing the complete exit device, which keeps the opening out of service for less time. It's the kind of repair a maintenance tech makes on the door.
3) Will the Detex 100868 plate fit any brand of exit device, like Von Duprin or Precision?
No. The 100868 is specified for use with compatible Detex exit devices only. It is not a universal cylinder plate, and it isn't offered as a cross-brand retrofit for Von Duprin, Precision, or other manufacturers' devices. If the device on your door isn't a Detex, order the plate from that device's own parts list.
4) Is the Detex 100868 a genuine Detex part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Detex OEM. It's made by Detex as a direct replacement component for compatible Detex exit device assemblies, so fit and function match the original. That matters on egress hardware, where a mismatched internal part can change how the device behaves under a panic push.
5) I manage several buildings with Detex exit devices. What part number should I stock for cylinder position plates?
Detex 100868. That's the model number for the mortise cylinder position plate, and it's the number to put on a PO or a shelf label. Keeping a couple on hand is reasonable if your openings use keyed Detex devices, since a misaligned cylinder plate is a repair that otherwise waits on a parts order.
6) Is this plate rated for commercial traffic, or is it a light-duty residential part?
Commercial. The 100868 is a commercial-grade component built to the same standards as the Detex exit device assemblies it goes into, which is why it turns up in schools, hospitals, offices, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings.
