Detex 2014D-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D exit device be used on a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Advantex 2014D/2114D is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center mullion, which is what lets it secure double doors with no mullion between them. The description calls out all types of double doors without a mullion. If you have a single door in a frame with jamb strike prep, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) What does the Key Unlocks Lever, Lever Always Active function mean on this Detex device?
The lever trim on the outside stays free to operate at all times, and the key is used to unlock or relock the lever rather than to retract the latch on each use. Inside, the pushbar always gives free egress. It suits an entrance you want open to the public during business hours and locked down outside them, without anyone needing a key to get out.
3) Will the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The Advantex 2014D/2114D is a wide stile device, so it needs the wider door stile you get on hollow metal, wood, or wide stile aluminum doors. On a narrow stile glass storefront door you need a narrow stile vertical rod device instead.
4) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Detex 2014D, and can it be changed in the field?
Handing is ordered up front, with Right Hand Reverse and Left Hand Reverse as the two choices, but the device is field reversible, so a unit on hand can be swapped to the opposite hand rather than returned. On a pair of doors with this device on both leaves you are ordering one of each hand.
5) Can I get the Detex Advantex 20 Series as a top rod only device to avoid a bottom rod?
Yes. The device is offered as a top and bottom rod device or as a top rod only device. Top rod only keeps the floor clear, which is what most people want where carts, water, or debris at the threshold chew up a bottom bolt. If you do take the bottom bolt, it is a hardened steel drop bolt with a dust proof strike and an ADA ramped bottom bolt cover.
6) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex 2014D/2114D, and can I get hurricane rated too?
Four rating options are built: Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, and Hurricane and Fire Rated. Pick the rating at order time, since it is not a field conversion. One thing to note on fire rated openings generally: dogging is not permitted on a fire door, so a fire rated unit is ordered less dogging.
7) Can I get a Detex Advantex vertical rod device with an alarm or delayed egress?
Yes, four electrified builds are offered alongside the plain mechanical device: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EB is the one to use where you cannot run power to the door. EX is the choice when the alarm lives in the access control panel and the device just needs to report that someone pushed the bar.
8) I only need exit-only vertical rod hardware with no outside lever. What should I use instead of the Detex 2014D/2114D?
If nobody needs to key in from the outside, an exit only device covers the opening. The Marks USA M9900VR is an exit only vertical rod panic device in 36 inch by 84 inch and non-handed, with a 48 inch by 84 inch version as the M9900VR-48X84. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, also exit only, in 36 inch. The Detex 2014D/2114D is built around key unlocks lever with the lever always active, so it is the choice only when outside lever entry is part of the opening.
9) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match in construction class: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, from the 88 Series, in a 3 ft width and prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D is also Grade 1 and wide stile, in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes. The functional difference is the trim: the Detex 2014D/2114D carries a key unlocks lever, lever always active function, while the 8827-3FT is catalogued without that trim function, so confirm the outside trim separately if you need keyed lever entry.
10) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if I am not using the Detex Advantex?
Fire rated alternatives include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR in 36 inch by 84 inch or the M9900F-VR in 48 inch by 84 inch, both fire rated and exit only. The Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D is ordered with a rating option of Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated, so it is the one to specify when you need a hurricane rated or combined hurricane and fire rated opening.
11) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty ADA compliant surface vertical rod device, but it is Grade 2, non fire rated, and exit only. The Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D is Grade 1 commercial hardware with a key unlocks lever function and is available fire rated or hurricane rated. If your spec calls for Grade 1, fire labeled, or keyed outside lever entry, the 9860 will not meet it.
12) What dogging options does the Detex Advantex 2014D come with?
Three choices: 1/8 turn hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex is the standard low cost way to hold the pushbar down and leave the door push/pull during the day. Cylinder dogging keys it so only staff with the right key can dog the device, which is what most schools and healthcare facilities specify. Cylinder dogging needs a cylinder, ordered separately.
13) Is the Detex Advantex 2014D heavy duty enough for a school or hospital main exit?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device, which is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier and what institutional specs normally call for on high traffic egress. Detex builds it for high use, high abuse openings, with a stainless steel deadlocking top latch and stainless rod covers. For comparison, the Cal-Royal 9860 we stock is a Grade 2 heavy duty device, a step down in rated duty.
14) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device for a standard 36 by 84 door?
For a plain 36 inch by 84 inch opening, the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 non fire rated vertical rod device sized for that door, and the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty version in stainless steel finish. Both come as fixed door-size items. The Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D is ordered by door height of 84, 96, or 120 inches with a choice of top and bottom rod or top rod only, plus dogging and electrified options, so it is the one to use when the opening is taller than 84 inches or needs delayed egress, request to exit, or alarm.
15) I need to match finishes across a building. How does the Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D compare to the alternatives on finish choice?
The Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D is offered in ten finishes: 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, and 695 dark bronze painted. Among the comparable vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a stainless steel finish item and the Delaney F9100 DLY-694300 is aluminum finish, each sold as a single finish for a 36 inch by 84 inch door. If you are standardizing to a bronze or painted finish across a fleet of doors, the Detex range is the one that carries those options.
16) Which of these vertical rod devices are non-handed, and does handing matter on the Detex 2014D/2114D?
The Marks USA M9900VR and the fire rated M9900FVR are non-handed exit only devices, so one part covers either leaf. The Detex Advantex 2014D/2114D is ordered by handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, because it carries a keyed outside lever, though the device is field-reversible. Confirm the door swing before ordering the Detex; with the non-handed Marks devices you do not have to.
17) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 20/21 Series come in for matching existing hardware?
Ten finishes are built: 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 standardized on aluminum storefront, 628 is the usual match; 630 is the common match on stainless and hollow metal openings.
18) How hard is the Detex Advantex 20 Series to install without a template?
Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator system with the device, which replaces the paper template and locates the strike off the device itself. That is the main reason crews pick this line for multi-door jobs. Full instructions, the parts list, and door prep templates are published by Detex if your installer wants them ahead of the delivery.
