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

1) Can I use the Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z on a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is what a surface vertical rod device is for. The Advantex 2002Z/2102Z latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center strike, so it secures double doors without a removable mullion. Rim devices on a pair need a mullion; the vertical rod does not.
2) Is the Detex 2002Z/2102Z handed, or can I flip it on the job?
It is a handed device, but field reversible, so one unit can be converted on site without extra parts. When ordering you still pick Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings exit devices use since the door swings out.
3) What door sizes and heights does the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series vertical rod device cover?
Device lengths are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are built for 84 inch, 96 inch, and 120 inch door heights. The device is field sizeable, so the 36 inch unit trims down for narrower leaves. Order the rod length that matches your actual door height rather than cutting rods to suit.
4) Do I need the top and bottom rod version, or will top rod only do the job?
Both are available. Top and bottom rod gives two latching points, top latch plus the bottom drop bolt into a dust proof strike, and is the stronger arrangement on an exterior pair. Top rod only (the less bottom rod arrangement) avoids the floor strike entirely, which is what you want where flooring, carpet, or drainage makes a bottom bolt a maintenance problem.
5) Is the Detex 2002Z available fire rated, and can I get it hurricane rated too?
Four rating options are offered: Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, and Hurricane and Fire Rated. Note that fire rated openings cannot use dogging, so specify the Less/No dogging option on any fire rated leaf.
6) Will the dummy pull trim on the 2002Z let someone in from the outside?
No. The Dummy Pull Trim function is a fixed pull only, no latch retraction, so the outside of the door stays secure and the opening is exit only from the trim's standpoint. If you need key or lever entry from the pull side, you need a device with keyed lever or thumbpiece trim instead.
7) Is the 2002Z wide stile going to fit my narrow aluminum storefront door?
Not likely. The Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is a wide stile device, sized for hollow metal and wood doors with a full stile. Narrow stile aluminum glass doors need a narrow stile device. If you are working a glass front opening, confirm your stile width before you order this one.
8) Can I get the Detex 2002Z with an alarm or delayed egress instead of adding a separate system?
Yes, four electrified builds are offered on the device itself: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EB suits a door with no power run to it; EX is the one to pick when you only need a signal back to an access control panel.
9) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match in type and construction class: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, Grade 1, sized 3 ft, and it is prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is likewise a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, and it covers 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes with 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series is a second wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod option, listed as exit only at 36 inch.
10) I need a vertical rod device for a fire rated pair - what are my options besides the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z can be ordered Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated. For fire rated alternatives, the Delaney F9100 Series device for a 36 by 84 inch door is Grade 1 with a fire rating, in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inch and the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inch, both fire rated and exit only. Note the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Delaney 9100 and Delaney 8100 are all listed as not fire rated.
11) Is there a lighter-duty vertical rod exit device than the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod exit device is Grade 2 at a heavy duty level, ADA compliant, and exit only with no fire rating. The Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is Grade 1 and is built for high-use, high-abuse commercial openings, with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system, stainless steel deadlocking top latch and hardened steel bottom drop bolt. Where a specification calls for ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 9860 will not satisfy it.
12) My doors are 96 inches tall - will a standard 36 by 84 vertical rod device work, or do I need the Detex?
Devices such as the Delaney 9100, Delaney 8100, Delaney F9100, Imperial USA ED-VR531 and Marks USA M9900VR are catalogued for a 36 by 84 inch door, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is listed as a 3 ft device. For a taller leaf, the Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is offered in 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights, in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes, so the rod length is matched to the opening rather than extended in the field.
13) What dogging options come on the Detex Advantex 20 Series, and which should I pick for a school corridor?
Three choices: Hex Dogging (1/8 turn hex key), Cylinder Dogging, and Less/No dogging. Cylinder dogging is the usual pick where the public can reach the device and you want dogging controlled by key, as in schools and retail. Hex is fine in staff-only areas. Skip dogging entirely on fire rated leaves.
14) Does the bottom rod on this Detex device create a trip hazard or an ADA problem?
The bottom bolt cover is ramped, which is how the device stays ADA compliant with a bottom rod in place. If your inspector is still uneasy about a floor strike, the top rod only version removes the bottom bolt altogether.
15) I need a simpler exit only vertical rod device on a low traffic back door. What else do you carry?
If you do not need electrification or a hurricane rating, the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 or 48 x 84 is an exit only vertical rod device, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only unit at 36 inch. For fire rated exit only, the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84 or the Delaney F9100 Series are rated Yes. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 rather than Grade 1, so it is the lighter duty choice and not fire rated.
16) Is the Detex 2002Z tough enough for a high abuse exterior door that gets kicked and slammed?
It is built for that duty. Grade 1 super heavy duty construction, a stainless steel deadlocking top latch, a hardened steel bottom drop bolt, and a heavy duty angled end cap that pushes impact away from the device rather than into it. That end cap is the part that usually saves the unit on a door that takes carts and traffic.
17) The Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is handed - what vertical rod device can I order without specifying hand?
The Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though the design is field reversible. If you would rather not commit to a hand at all, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inch and the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inch are both listed as non-handed vertical rod panic devices, the M9900FVR being the fire rated one.
18) What is the difference between ordering the Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z and an exit only device like the Imperial ED-VR531?
The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is catalogued with an exit only function, as are the Cal-Royal 9860 and the Marks USA M9900VR - egress from the inside with no outside operating trim. The Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is furnished with dummy pull trim, so the exterior face gets a fixed pull for door control rather than a latch-retracting lever. If the opening needs a keyed or lever pull from outside, neither a dummy pull nor an exit only device provides it.
19) Can I use a top rod only device instead of a full top and bottom vertical rod setup?
The Detex Advantex 2002Z/2102Z is configured as either a Top and Bottom Rod Device or a Top Rod Only Device, so the less-bottom-rod arrangement is ordered from the same Grade 1 wide stile platform rather than substituted with a different device. The comparable vertical rod devices - the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Delaney 9100 and 8100, Imperial ED-VR531 and Marks USA M9900VR - are each catalogued as a single vertical rod configuration.
20) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series come in for matching other doors in my building?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 630 brushed stainless steel. 628 is the usual match for aluminum storefront and anodized frames, 630 for stainless push/pull and healthcare or food service openings. Rod covers are stainless steel on the device.
21) What paperwork do I get for prepping the door for the Advantex 20 Series?
Detex publishes installation instructions and a parts list for the Advantex 20/50 range, and the device ships with the patented mounting plate and strike locator that replaces the paper template for laying out holes on door and frame.
