Detex 2009D-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Advantex 20/21 Series surface vertical rod device latches at the head and the sill rather than into a center post, so it secures double doors with no mullion between them. Order one device per leaf.
2) What does the key override function on the Detex 2009D actually do at the door?
Key unlocks the lever, and the opening relocks when the key is removed. So outside trim stays locked by default, a keyholder turns the cylinder to make the lever operational for entry, and pulling the key out puts it back to locked. Egress from inside is always free through the pushbar.
3) Is the Detex 2009D available fire rated, and can I get it hurricane rated too?
Four rating configurations are offered: non-rated, fire rated, hurricane, and hurricane plus fire rated. Pick the rating at order time, since a fire rated opening also means you cannot use mechanical dogging on that device.
4) What is the difference between the top rod only and the top and bottom rod version of the Advantex 20 Series?
The top and bottom rod device latches into a strike at the header and a dust proof strike in the floor, using a hardened steel bottom drop bolt. The top rod only build drops the bottom latch and floor strike, which is what people usually want where floor debris, snow, carpet or an uneven threshold would foul a bottom bolt. Both are offered here.
5) Can the Detex 2009D exit device be ordered with an alarm or delayed egress?
Yes. Electrified options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EX is the one to pick when you just need a signal back to an access control panel. If you want none of that, the device is available with no electrified option.
6) Will this Detex device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The Advantex 2009D/2109D is a wide stile device, so it needs the wider stile of a hollow metal, wood, or wide stile aluminum door. For a narrow stile glass storefront leaf you need a narrow stile rim or concealed rod device instead.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device to the Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: it is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in 3 ft width, from the 88 Series, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D is also Grade 1 and wide stile, and it carries the key override function where the key unlocks the lever and it locks when the key is removed, plus 36 inch and 48 inch widths and door heights of 84, 96 and 120 inches.
8) I only need push-to-exit with no outside trim on a double door. What vertical rod device should I use instead of the Detex 2009D/2109D?
Use an exit-only vertical rod device, since the Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D is built around key override trim that unlocks the lever. Exit-only options include the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch surface vertical rod device, the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 and the M9900VR-48X84 in 48 x 84, both non-handed exit only, and the Cal-Royal 9860, a heavy duty Grade 2 exit-only vertical rod device.
9) For a fire rated pair of doors, what are the fire rated alternatives to the Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D vertical rod device?
The Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D can be ordered in Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated configurations. Fire rated peers 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 and MARM9900F-VR 48 x 84, both fire rated exit only. The Marks and Delaney fire rated units are exit only, so they do not provide the key override lever operation.
10) My doors are 96 inches tall. Do the comparable vertical rod devices cover that, or do I need the Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D?
The Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D is built for 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights and 36 or 48 inch widths, and can be ordered as a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device. The comparable vertical rod devices are specified at 84 inch door height, such as the Delaney DLY-692301 for a 36 x 84 door and the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 for a 48 x 84 door, so a 96 inch leaf points to the Detex.
11) Which dogging option should I order on the Detex Advantex 20 Series?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard way to hold the pushbar retracted during business hours. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog the door, which is what most schools and offices prefer. Order less dogging on fire rated openings.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 20 Series ADA compliant on the bottom bolt?
The device includes an ADA compliant ramped bottom bolt cover, so the floor-side hardware does not create a trip edge across the opening.
13) I only need exit-only panic hardware on a back door, not keyed lever entry. Is there a simpler option?
If nobody needs to key in from outside, an exit-only device is less to buy and less to maintain. ZenSupply carries the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod device and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, both exit only, plus the Cal-Royal 9860 as a Grade 2 heavy duty exit-only choice. The Detex 2009D is the one to keep when you need the key to unlock the lever for entry.
14) Which vertical rod device is non-handed, and does handing matter on the Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D?
The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 and the fire rated M9900FVR 36 x 84 are non-handed vertical rod devices. The Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D is ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, and its handed design is field reversible, so one device can be turned for either leaf without extra hardware.
15) What Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod devices compare to the Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D for a standard 36 by 84 opening?
For a 36 x 84 non-rated opening, Grade 1 peers include the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 in stainless steel finish, the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a wide stile 36 inch exit-only device. The Detex Advantex 2009D/2109D covers the same 36 inch width with an 84 inch door height and can be specified Non-Rated, and it adds the key override lever function plus finishes from 605 polished brass through 630 brushed stainless steel and 695 dark bronze painted.
16) 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 satin chrome-look hardware, 630 is the usual match; 628 matches clear anodized aluminum storefront.
17) Do I need paper templates to install the Detex Advantex 20 Series?
No. It ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that takes the place of paper templates, which is the main reason installers pick it for multi-door jobs. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list for the Advantex 20 through 50 range.
18) Is the Detex 2009D tough enough for a school or high-traffic public entrance?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device built for high-use, high-abuse openings, with a stainless steel deadlocking top latch, stainless rod covers, and a hardened steel bottom drop bolt. Typical applications are schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, government buildings and multi-tenant residential.
