Detex 2001C-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C secure a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 2001C/2101C is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a mullion or a strike on the adjacent leaf. That is exactly why it is used on double doors without a mullion. If you would rather keep a mullion and run rim devices, that is a different device type entirely.
2) Is the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series available fire rated, and can I get hurricane rating too?
Four rating choices are offered on the Advantex 20/21: Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, and Hurricane and Fire Rated. Pick the rating at order time, since it is not a field change. On a fire rated opening you would order the fire rated version; mechanical dogging is not used on fire doors.
3) Will a Detex 2001C fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The 2001C/2101C is a wide stile device, so it needs the wider stile face of a hollow metal, wood, or wide stile aluminum door. For a narrow stile glass storefront leaf you need a narrow stile device instead.
4) What door heights and widths does the Detex Advantex 20/21 vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are built for 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch door heights. Order the height that matches the leaf, since the vertical rods have to reach the head and the floor strike. The device is also field sizeable for custom openings.
5) Can I get the Detex 20/21 as a top rod only device instead of top and bottom?
Yes. Both a Top and Bottom Rod version and a Top Rod Only version are offered. Top rod only avoids a floor strike, which is the usual choice where flooring, thresholds, or drainage make a bottom strike a problem. The top and bottom version adds the hardened steel bottom drop bolt with dust proof strike for more security.
6) Do I have to order the Detex Advantex 2001C handed?
You select Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse when ordering, and the handing is field reversible if the opening turns out to be the other hand. Exit devices are always reverse bevel since the door swings out.
7) Can I get a Detex Advantex 2001C with an alarm or delayed egress?
Yes, the electrified options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EB suits an opening with no power run to the door; EX ties the device into an access control or alarm panel; EE is the 15 second delayed egress version used to slow unauthorized exits where the local authority permits it.
8) Is the Detex 2001C exit only, or can I add outside trim?
The 2001C/2101C is configured exit only with a cover plate on the outside, so there is no outside operating trim on it as ordered. Detex does make the outside trims field changeable or re-keyable without pulling the device off the door on this series, so if you need outside key access you would order the trimmed version of the 20/21 device rather than the cover plate model.
9) Is there a Grade 2 vertical rod exit device instead of the Grade 1 Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, exit only, non-fire-rated. The Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C is Grade 1 and is offered in fire rated, hurricane, hurricane and fire rated, and non-rated builds. For an opening where the drawing accepts Grade 2 and no fire label is involved, the 9860 covers it; where the label or a Grade 1 call-out is in play, stay with the Detex.
10) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door - what are my options besides the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C is available in a fire rated build in 36 inch size for an 84 inch door. Alternatives carrying a fire rating include the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84 fire rated vertical rod device, exit only and non-handed. The Marks unit being non-handed is worth noting if you are stocking for multiple openings, since the Detex is ordered by handing as right hand reverse or left hand reverse.
11) What should I use if I need a hurricane rated vertical rod exit device?
Among comparable wide stile vertical rod devices, the Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C is the one offered in hurricane and hurricane-plus-fire-rated builds. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial USA ED-VR531, Delaney 9100 and Cal-Royal 9860 are each catalogued without a fire rating on the non-rated versions and none of them is offered in a hurricane configuration, so for an impact opening specify the Detex hurricane rating option in the size and door height you need.
12) What dogging options come on the Detex 20/21 exit device?
Three choices: Hex Dogging, Cylinder Dogging, or Less/No dogging. Cylinder dogging lets staff hold the push pad down with a key for daytime free traffic without a hex wrench floating around. Order Less/No dogging on fire rated openings.
13) Is the Detex Advantex 20/21 ADA compliant at the bottom rod?
It ships with an ADA compliant ramped bottom bolt cover, along with top and bottom rod covers. The ramp matters because a bottom rod cover across the base of the door is otherwise a trip and wheelchair obstruction.
14) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 2001C come in for matching other doors in a building?
Ten finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. Exposed surfaces are finished over stainless steel with a PVD coating, which holds up better than plating on high-traffic exterior openings.
15) Is there a cheaper vertical rod exit device than the Detex Advantex for a low traffic back door?
If the opening is not fire rated and traffic is light, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit-only device with ADA compliance, and the Delaney 8100 Series 36 x 84 is a Grade 1 non-fire-rated option. The Detex 20/21 is the choice for high-use, high-abuse openings and for anything needing hurricane rating or electrified egress control.
16) Is the Detex 2001C rated for a school or hospital exit where the doors get abused daily?
Yes. It is a commercial Grade 1 device, the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier for panic hardware, with a deadlocking stainless steel top latch and hardened steel bottom drop bolt. Detex lists it for educational, healthcare, government, retail, and industrial openings, and a Grade 1 device is what most institutional specs call for on an egress door.
17) Is the Marks USA M9900VR 48 x 84 the same thing as a fire rated Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C?
No. The Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 x 84 vertical rod panic exit device, exit only, catalogued with a fire rating of no, so it is not the part for a labeled opening. For a fire label at that width, the fire rated builds are the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR 48 x 84 or the Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C in 48 inch size with the fire rated option.
18) Which vertical rod exit devices are non-handed if I do not want to specify handing like the Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C requires?
The Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the device itself is field-reversible. If you would rather not commit to handing at the order, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is non-handed, and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84 is also non-handed. Both are exit only, the same function as the Detex.
19) Are the Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series devices a substitute for the Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C?
They are close on rating but not identical in scope. The Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in stainless steel finish, non-fire-rated, and the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door, also non-fire-rated. Each is a fixed 36 x 84 configuration. The Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C is Grade 1 as well but spans 36 and 48 inch sizes, 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights, and top-rod-only as well as top and bottom rod builds, so it is the one to use when the opening is outside a standard 36 x 84 leaf.
20) We need to match existing finishes across a building - which vertical rod device gives the widest finish choice?
The Detex Advantex 2001C/2101C is ordered in 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, or 695 dark bronze painted, all finished over stainless steel with PVD. Among the comparables the Delaney 9100 DLY-692301 is a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 DLY-694300 is an aluminum finish, each a single finish per part, so the Detex is the one to use when standardizing to a bronze, brass, or painted finish across a set of openings.
21) Do I still need paper templates to lay out the Detex Advantex 20/21 on the door?
No. The Advantex 20/21 uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which is what keeps the top latch and bottom strike in line on a surface vertical rod install. Detex also publishes door prep templates and installation instructions for the series if your shop preps doors ahead of delivery.
