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

1) Will a Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D vertical rod device work on a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is what the Advantex 20/21 Series surface vertical rod device is built for. It latches at the head and at the threshold instead of into a center strike, so a pair of double doors can be secured without a removable mullion. The top latch is stainless steel and deadlocking, and the bottom is a hardened steel drop bolt into a dust proof strike. If you would rather keep a mullion and use rim devices, that is a different device type entirely.
2) What does the D in Detex 2002D/2102D mean, does it lock or unlock from the outside?
The D configuration comes with dummy lever trim, which means the outside lever is fixed and does nothing. It is a pull only, there is no key or lever retraction from the exterior. Egress is from the push pad inside. If you need the outside lever to retract the latch with a key, you want a keyed lever trim version rather than the dummy trim.
3) Do I have to order the Detex Advantex 20 Series handed, or can I flip it on site?
You pick a hand at order time, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, but the device itself is field reversible, so it can be adapted on site if the opening turns out opposite to what was specified. It is also field sizeable, which matters when the door is narrower than the device length you ordered.
4) Will the Detex Advantex 2002D fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The Advantex 20/21 Series is a wide stile device and needs the stile width a wide stile chassis requires. On a narrow stile aluminum glass door you need a narrow stile exit device instead. For wide stile aluminum or hollow metal openings it is the right family.
5) Can I get a fire rated surface vertical rod device for a stairwell pair, and does hurricane rating come the same way?
Yes on both, they are selections when you order. The rating options are Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, and Hurricane and Fire Rated. Note that a fire rated opening cannot be held dogged down, so choose Less/No dogging on fire rated leaves and use hex or cylinder dogging only on non-rated doors.
6) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod on the Detex Advantex 20 Series?
Two choices: Top and Bottom Rod, or Top Rod Only. Top and bottom gives you the hardened steel drop bolt into the dust proof strike at the floor for the most security. Top rod only, commonly specified as less bottom rod, keeps the floor clear, which is what you want where carpet, uneven slab, or floor debris would fight a bottom bolt or where a trip hazard is a concern. If you do run the bottom bolt, the ramped bottom bolt cover is there to meet accessibility requirements.
7) What electrified options can I add to the Detex Advantex 20/21 exit device?
Four, plus none: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EA and EB are the local alarm versions for an unauthorized-use door; EX just sends a dry signal to an access control panel or alarm system when the pad is pushed; EE is the delayed egress version for a controlled exit. Delayed egress installs are governed by your local code and authority having jurisdiction.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, sized 3 ft and prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D is also Grade 1 and wide stile, and it is ordered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with a dummy lever trim. If the drawing calls for a wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod on a 1-3/4 inch door, the 8827-3FT matches that description; the Detex adds door height selection at 84, 96 and 120 inches.
9) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door but do not need lever trim. What are the alternatives to the Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D?
Two exit-only fire rated options cover that opening. The Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod device is a 36 x 84 exit-only, non-handed unit. The Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D carries a dummy lever trim and is ordered with handing specified as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, so the non-handed Marks unit is the simpler stock item when no outside trim is wanted.
10) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D?
Not on a Grade 1 spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty, Grade 2, non-fire-rated surface vertical rod device in an exit only function. The Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D is Grade 1, includes dummy lever trim, and can be ordered fire rated, hurricane rated, both, or non-rated. Use the 9860 where a Grade 2 exit only device on a non-rated opening is acceptable; specify the Detex where the submittal calls for Grade 1 or a rated assembly.
11) Can I use the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in place of the Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D?
The Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device at 36 inches, exit only and not fire rated, so it matches the Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D on grade and stile type for a 36 inch non-rated opening. The differences that decide it: the Detex is offered with dummy lever trim, in fire rated and hurricane rated configurations, and with dogging selected as hex, cylinder, or less dogging plus electrified options such as delayed egress and request to exit.
12) Which vertical rod exit device should I pick if the opening is a hurricane rated pair?
The Detex Advantex 2002D/2102D is the one to specify there, since its rating options include hurricane and hurricane with fire rating in addition to fire rated and non-rated. Among the comparable vertical rod devices, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 and the Delaney 9100 and 8100 Series are non-fire-rated, and the Delaney F9100 and the Marks USA M9900FVR are fire rated; a hurricane configuration is specific to the Detex.
13) Is the Detex Advantex 20 Series Grade 1, and is it durable enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
Grade 1 and specified as commercial, super heavy duty, for high-use and high-abuse openings. Construction is stainless steel top latch and rod covers with a hardened steel bottom bolt. That is the tier you standardize on for schools, hospitals, and municipal buildings.
14) Can I match the Detex Advantex exit device to the brass or dark bronze hardware already on my building?
Ten finishes are offered: 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. The plated finishes use a PVD process over stainless steel, so they hold up better outdoors than a lacquered finish.
15) Which dogging type should I specify on the Detex Advantex, hex or cylinder?
Hex dogging holds the pad down with an allen key, which is fine for a staff-only door in a maintenance shop. Cylinder dogging takes a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog the device down, which is what you want on a retail or school exit where you do not want anyone with a hex key holding the door unlatched. Less/No dogging is the choice on fire rated openings, where mechanical dogging is not permitted.
16) Do I need paper templates to install the Detex Advantex 20 Series, or is there door prep documentation?
The Advantex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system instead of paper templates, which is what makes the top and bottom strike locations line up on the first try. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list for the Advantex 20 through 50 range, and door prep templates are available from Detex if your shop preps doors before hanging.
