Detex 102879-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Detex 102879-2 double door controller actually do?
The 102879-2 is a double door controller that coordinates operation across both leaves of a paired door assembly in an electrified exit device system. It works alongside a compatible power supply unit rather than replacing one, so it sits in the control path between the power supply and the two exit devices. Detex sells it as a factory replacement part for existing installations.
2) Is the Detex 102879-2 a standalone power supply or does it need one?
It is not a power supply. The 102879-2 is a controller that needs a compatible Detex power supply to feed it; buy the power supply separately if the opening does not already have one. On a service call where the supply is good and only the paired door control has failed, this is the piece you swap.
3) Can I use the Detex 102879-2 on a single door opening?
No. The controller is built for double door configurations, synchronizing control across two leaves. On a single leaf there is nothing to coordinate, so specify a single door control component for that opening instead.
4) Will a generic aftermarket controller work in place of the Detex 102879-2?
Stay with the genuine part. The 102879-2 is an authentic Detex factory component matched to the supported exit device and power supply assemblies, and Detex positions it as a drop-in replacement so the system keeps working as built. Substituting an unspecified controller puts the coordination between the two leaves at risk.
5) Is the Detex 102879-2 rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial only. Detex lists the 102879-2 as commercial-grade door hardware, and it is used on paired egress openings in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential properties running commercial exit hardware.
6) How do I order the Detex 102879-2, and are there finish or handing options?
There is one configuration: part number 102879-2, ordered as is. No handing, finish, or size choice applies, since it is an electrical control component rather than a door-mounted trim piece.
