Detex 2701D-693-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 2701D work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That's exactly what it's built for. The Advantex 27 Series 2701D is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the floor rather than into a mullion or a strike on the adjacent leaf. That makes it the right choice for double doors without a mullion. If you want a rim device instead, you'd have to add a removable mullion to the opening.
2) Does the Detex 2701D come handed, and can I reverse it in the field?
You pick a hand when you order, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, but the device itself is field reversible, so a unit can be re-handed on site without factory work. It's also field sizeable, which means you can cut it down to the door width you have.
3) What door widths and heights does the Detex Advantex 27 Series vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are built for 84 inch, 96 inch, and 120 inch door heights. So tall doors up to 10 feet are covered without a special order. Since the 27 Series is field sizeable, a 36 inch device can be trimmed for narrower openings.
4) Is the Detex 2701D fire rated, and can I get a tornado rated version?
All three exist as build options: Fire Rated, Non-Rated, and Tornado Rated. Choose Fire Rated for a labeled opening (note that fire exit hardware cannot be dogged, so a fire rated unit is ordered without mechanical dogging), Tornado Rated where the opening is part of a storm shelter or safe room, and Non-Rated for standard egress.
5) Will the Detex 27 Series fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The 2701D is a wide stile device, so it needs a wide stile door such as a hollow metal, wood, or wide stile aluminum leaf. For a narrow stile aluminum storefront you need a narrow stile vertical rod device instead.
6) What does 'blank escutcheon' mean on the Detex 2701D, and can I still get in from outside?
Blank escutcheon means the outside trim is a plain plate with no lever, no pull, and no cylinder, so the 2701D is exit only. Push the pushpad to get out, no entry from the outside. If you need outside access, specify a trim function with a lever or pull and cylinder instead.
7) Can I get the Detex 27 Series with an alarm or delayed egress?
Yes, and it's chosen at order time: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, or EE delayed egress. EB is the one to use on a door with no power run to it. EE delayed egress needs to be coordinated with your fire alarm and your local authority having jurisdiction, since delayed egress is only permitted in certain occupancies. Order None if you want a purely mechanical device.
8) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door - what are my options besides the Detex 27 Series?
Two fire rated peers cover that opening directly: the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in an aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for 36 x 84, exit only and non-handed. The Detex 2701D is also offered in a fire rated configuration at 36 inch width and 84 inch door height, and it is handed right hand reverse or left hand reverse rather than non-handed.
9) For a tornado rated opening, will a Von Duprin 8827 or Delaney 9100 vertical rod device work?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is catalogued as a Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors with no fire rating, and the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 as Grade 1 with no fire rating. Neither is offered in a tornado configuration. The Detex Advantex 2701D is available in a tornado rated version as well as fire rated and non-rated, which is the one to specify for a storm shelter or tornado rated assembly.
10) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 2701D?
Three ways to order it: 1/8 turn hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging holds the pushpad depressed with a hex key so the door pushes free during business hours. Cylinder dogging does the same with a key, which property managers usually prefer when they don't want maintenance tools floating around. Less dogging is what you order on a fire rated opening.
11) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 27 Series come in, and how durable are they?
Nine finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 polished stainless, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. Exposed surfaces are finished over stainless steel using a PVD process, which holds up better than plated brass in exterior and coastal openings. 630 and 693 are the usual picks for matching existing commercial door hardware across a building.
12) Is the Detex 2701D strong enough for a high abuse door like a school or warehouse exit?
It's an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 commercial device described as super heavy duty. Security hardware is a stainless steel relatching top bolt and a hardened steel bottom drop bolt, both oversized, plus a heavy duty angled end cap that pushes cart and door impact away from the device body. That combination is aimed at high use, high abuse openings such as schools, warehouses, and healthcare service doors.
13) I'm replacing one leaf of a pair. Does the Detex 2701D have to be handed to match the other side?
Yes. Because a vertical rod device is handed, you order Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse to match the leaf you're working on, and on a pair the two leaves take opposite hands. If you already have stock on the shelf in the wrong hand, the 27 Series is field reversible, so it can be converted rather than returned. Non-handed alternatives exist if you'd rather stock one part number, such as the Marks USA M9900VR.
14) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Detex Advantex 2701D surface vertical rod device?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2, heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device with ADA compliance, exit only and not fire rated. The Detex 2701D is Grade 1 and commercial rated for high-use, high-abuse service. Where the opening does not require Grade 1 or a fire rating, the 9860 is the step-down; where it does, the 2701D is the one to specify.
15) The Detex 2701D has a blank escutcheon - what should I order if the door needs outside trim or key access?
A blank escutcheon device is push-to-exit only with no outside operating trim, so it will not give outside entry. Peers built the same way include the Imperial USA ED-VR531 500 Series Grade 1 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod, the Marks USA M9900VR, and the Cal-Royal 9860, all listed as exit only. Choosing among them does not solve outside access either - for that you need a device configured with pull or lever trim rather than a blank escutcheon.
16) Which vertical rod devices are non-handed, and does that matter against the Detex 27 Series?
The Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed vertical rod panic exit device for 36 x 84 doors, so one part covers either leaf. The Detex Advantex 2701D is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device is described as handed field reversible and field sizeable, so it can be adapted on site without a factory change. For a stocking shelf where handing is unknown at time of order, non-handed peers simplify; for a specified opening, the 2701D handing selection is straightforward.
17) What Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod devices compare to the Detex 2701D for a 36 x 84 opening?
Three Grade 1 non-fire-rated peers fit that leaf: the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 for a 36 x 84 door in stainless steel finish, the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 for 36 x 84, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod. The Detex 2701D is Grade 1 and wide stile as well and can be ordered non-rated at 36 inches, with nine finishes including 630 brushed stainless steel and 693 black painted.
18) Which vertical rod device should I standardize on across a building with brass and bronze door hardware?
The Detex Advantex 2701D is offered in nine finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 polished stainless, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted, all over stainless steel with a PVD process. Comparable devices are catalogued in single finishes - the Delaney 9100 DLY-692301 in stainless steel and the Delaney F9100 DLY-694300 in aluminum. Where finish has to match existing brass or bronze trim, the 2701D range is the one that covers it.
19) Do any comparable vertical rod exit devices offer dogging like the Detex 27 Series?
The Detex Advantex 2701D is ordered with 1/8 turn hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging, so the device can be held retracted for push-pull operation during business hours. Comparable devices such as the Cal-Royal 9860, Imperial USA ED-VR531, and Marks USA M9900VR are catalogued as exit only without a stated dogging selection. If the opening needs the latch dogged down during occupied hours, specify the 2701D with hex or cylinder dogging - and note that fire rated openings do not permit mechanical dogging.
20) Do I still need paper templates to install the Detex 27 Series?
No. The 27 Series ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator that replaces the paper template, so top and bottom strike locations get set off the device rather than off a pencil mark. A bottom bolt cover is included. Detex also publishes installation instructions and door prep templates if your shop preps doors in advance.
