Detex 2002C-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 2002C surface vertical rod device latch a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 20/21 Series surface vertical rod device latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a center strike, so it works on all types of double doors without a mullion. A rim device on the same pair would need a mullion or a coordinated overlapping astragal to have something to latch into.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 2002C/2102C exit device?
Yes, it is a handed device. You order either Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, and the design is field reversible if you end up with the opposite hand on site. Exit devices on outswinging doors are always reverse-bevel hands, which is why only RHR and LHR are offered.
3) Is the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series available fire rated, and can I get it hurricane rated too?
Four rating configurations are offered on the Advantex 20/21: Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, and Hurricane and Fire Rated. Pick the rating option at order time, since it is built into the device rather than added later. One thing to keep in mind on fire rated openings: fire exit hardware cannot be dogged, so a fire rated build and a dogging option are not a combination to specify together.
4) Will this Detex device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The 2002C/2102C is a wide stile device, so it needs the wider rail of a hollow metal, wood, or wide stile aluminum door. For a narrow stile glass storefront you need a narrow stile exit device instead.
5) Can I order the Detex 2002C as less bottom rod (top rod only)?
Yes. The Vertical Rod choice is either a Top and Bottom Rod Device or a Top Rod Only Device. Top rod only keeps the bottom of the door clear, which is what people specify where floor dirt, carpet, or wheelchair traffic makes a bottom bolt a maintenance problem. With top and bottom rods you get the hardened steel bottom drop bolt and dust proof strike, plus an ADA ramped bottom bolt cover.
6) Which dogging option should I pick on the Detex Advantex exit device?
Three choices: 1/8 turn hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is the maintenance-staff option, held down with a hex key to keep the door push-pull during business hours. Cylinder dogging restricts that to whoever carries the key, which is what most schools and offices want. Less dogging is the one to order for fire rated openings.
7) What electrified options can I add to the Detex Advantex 20 Series, and what do they do?
Four electrified builds are offered. EA is a hardwired electric alarm on the device. EB is the same alarm with battery power, for doors with no power run to them. EX is a request-to-exit signal switch, used to shunt an access control alarm when someone pushes the bar. EE is delayed egress, for the 15 second hold-before-release setups used in healthcare and retail loss prevention. Order None if you want a purely mechanical device.
8) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door and do not need dogging or electrified options. What are my alternatives to the Detex Advantex?
Two fire rated peers cover that exact opening. The Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR (MAR-M9900FVR-36X84) is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for 36 by 84 inch, exit only and non-handed. The Detex 2002C/2102C is also available fire rated, but it is a handed device ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse and it adds hex or cylinder dogging and electrified options such as delayed egress and request-to-exit. If the job is a single fire door with no dogging or electrical scope, the Delaney or Marks device is the simpler order.
9) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod alternative to the Detex Advantex 2002C/2102C?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device from the 88 Series, built for 3 ft door width and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Detex 2002C/2102C is also Grade 1 and wide stile, and it covers 36 inch and 48 inch door widths and 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights, with fire rated, hurricane, hurricane and fire rated, or non-rated builds. If your opening is a standard 3 ft by 1-3/4 inch door and you need nothing beyond the mechanical device, the 8827-3FT matches; for tall doors, 48 inch widths, or hurricane rating, stay with the Detex.
10) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 2002C/2102C?
Only where a lighter spec is acceptable. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty, Grade 2, non fire rated surface vertical rod exit device in an exit only function. The Detex 2002C/2102C is Grade 1 and is offered in fire rated and hurricane rated builds. If the drawing or the facility standard calls for ANSI Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not satisfy it; on a non-rated interior door where Grade 2 is allowed, it will.
11) What does the dummy pull trim mean on the Detex 2002C/2102C, and can I get in from the outside?
Dummy pull trim is a fixed pull on the exterior with no latch retraction. You can pull the door open only when the device is dogged down; otherwise the outside pull does nothing and the door stays secured. If you need key access from outside, that calls for a keyed lever or night latch trim rather than the dummy pull version.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 20/21 tough enough for a school or hospital exit door?
It is built for exactly that. Grade 1, commercial rated, super-heavy-duty for high-use high-abuse service, with a stainless steel deadlocking top latch and stainless rod covers, and a hardened steel bottom drop bolt into a dust proof strike. The ADA ramped bottom bolt cover matters on corridor openings where a raised cover would be a trip point. Delayed egress (EE) is the option institutions usually pair with it.
13) What vertical rod device should I use if I need a non-handed unit instead of the handed Detex Advantex?
The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device that is non-handed and exit only, with a 48 by 84 inch version offered as M9900VR-48X84; the fire rated counterparts are the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 and the MARM9900F-VR at 48 by 84. The Detex 2002C/2102C is a handed device ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though it is field reversible. Stocking non-handed units means one part number covers either leaf of a pair without reversing work.
14) Which vertical rod exit devices will not work where I need exterior trim rather than exit only?
The Cal-Royal 9860, Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR are all catalogued in an exit only function, meaning no outside lever or key retraction. The Detex 2002C/2102C carries dummy pull trim, which is a fixed pull on the outside with no latch retraction. If the door needs to be opened from the outside by key or lever, none of these will do it and you need a device ordered with keyed or lever trim.
15) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series come in for matching existing doors?
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. For a building already standardized on aluminum storefront, 628 is the usual match; 630 is the common pick on stainless hollow metal openings.
16) How hard is installing the Detex Advantex 20 Series compared to other panic hardware?
Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, so the top strike and bottom strike locations are set off the device itself rather than measured out. Door prep is described as minimal. Detex also publishes installation instructions, a parts list, and door prep templates for the 20 Series, so a contractor can check the routing before the door goes in.
