Detex 101487-5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Detex 101487-5 part?
It is a top rod cover, the trim piece that sheaths the exposed vertical top rod on a Detex surface vertical rod exit device. It is not the rod itself, not the latch, and not the device. Model number is 101487-5, finished in oil rubbed bronze.
2) Will a top rod cover work on a Detex exit device with concealed vertical rods?
No. The 101487-5 cover is for surface applied vertical rod configurations where the top rod runs on the face of the door and needs a cover over it. Concealed vertical rod devices carry the rod inside the door, so there is nothing to sheath and no cover to replace.
3) Do I have to replace the whole exit device if the top rod cover is bent or missing?
No. The top rod cover is a serviceable component, so a damaged or missing cover on a Detex surface vertical rod device can be swapped on its own without pulling the device off the door. The 101487-5 is sold as that single replacement piece in oil rubbed bronze.
4) Is the 101487-5 a genuine Detex part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a genuine Detex OEM replacement component, made for compatible Detex exit device assemblies so the fit matches the original. That matters on rod covers because the cover has to clear the rod and line up with the existing mounting points on the device.
5) I manage a building where all the exit hardware is dark bronze. Will this cover match?
The cover is supplied in a factory applied oil rubbed bronze finish, intended to coordinate with matching exit device trim and door hardware in that finish. If your other doors are painted aluminum, brass, or stainless, order the cover in the matching finish rather than this one, since a single mismatched rod cover reads clearly on a door face.
6) Does ordering the 101487-5 include the top rod or the latch?
No. What ships is the top rod cover only. If the rod itself, the top latch, or the strike is worn or damaged, those are separate Detex parts and have to be ordered individually.
7) What does the rod cover actually do besides look better?
Two jobs. It hides the exposed vertical rod for a finished appearance, and it shields the rod assembly from dust, debris, and incidental contact. On high traffic openings that contact protection is the practical reason to keep a cover in place rather than running the rod bare.
8) Is this rod cover rated for commercial use or is it a light duty residential part?
Commercial. The 101487-5 is catalogued as a commercial grade exit device part, built for the duty cycle of schools, hospitals, offices, retail, warehouses, multi tenant residential, and government buildings.
