Detex 2714D-693-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 2714D work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly what it's built for. The Detex Advantex 2714D is a surface vertical rod device that latches into the frame head and the floor, so a pair of doors can be secured without a removable mullion. Each leaf gets its own device.
2) Is the Detex 2714D handed, and can I flip it on site?
It is handed, and you order either right hand reverse or left hand reverse. The device is field reversible, so a stocked unit can be changed over on the job rather than returned. Outswinging exit doors are always the reverse bevel hands, which is why those are the two choices.
3) My aluminum storefront doors have narrow stiles. Can I use a Detex 27 Series device on them?
No. The 2714D is a wide stile device, so it needs a door with enough face width at the lock stile to take the chassis. For a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf you need a narrow stile device instead.
4) Can I get the Detex 2714D fire rated for a labeled door pair?
Yes. The 2714D is offered fire rated, non-rated, or tornado rated. Order the fire rated configuration for a labeled opening, and note that fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged, so specify less/no dogging on those.
5) What sizes and door heights does the Detex 2714D cover?
Device widths are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are supplied for 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch door heights. Measure the leaf, not the opening, and order the height that matches so the top and bottom bolts land correctly.
6) Can the Detex 27 Series exit device give me a local alarm or a delayed egress on the door?
Yes, the electrified options are built in rather than added on. Choose EA for a hardwired electric alarm, EB for an electric alarm with battery, EX for a request-to-exit signal switch to tie into access control, or EE for delayed egress. Select None if you want a straight mechanical device.
7) If the opening does not need outside lever entry, what vertical rod device can be used instead of the Detex 2714D?
Use an exit only vertical rod device. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch non-handed vertical rod panic device in exit only function, and the M9900VR-48X84 covers a 48 by 84 inch opening in the same exit only function. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another exit only choice, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches. The Detex 2714D differs in that its function is Lever Always Active, meaning it includes outside lever trim that always retracts the latch, and it is a handed device offered in right hand reverse and left hand reverse.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex 2714D from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device carrying a Grade 1 rating in the 88 Series, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors, in a 3 ft device width. The Detex 2714D Advantex is also a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, and it is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch widths for 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights. The functional difference is the trim: the 2714D is a Lever Always Active device, so the outside lever retracts the latch at all times, while the 8827-3FT is cited as a device without that lever function, so confirm the outside trim separately.
9) For a tall 96 or 120 inch door, can I use the Marks USA or Delaney vertical rod devices instead of the Detex 2714D?
Those comparables are specified for 84 inch doors: the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR are 36 by 84 inch, MARM9900F-VR and M9900VR-48X84 are 48 by 84 inch, and the Delaney DLY-692301, DLY-694300 and DLY-8100-3684 are all listed for a 36 by 84 inch door. The Detex 2714D is built for 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights, so for a tall opening the 2714D is the one to spec.
10) What does "Lever Always Active" mean on the Detex 2714D?
The outside lever trim stays free at all times, so the door can be pulled open from the outside without a key while the push pad handles egress. It's the function you want on an exit that has to stay accessible from both sides during business hours, not on a secured perimeter door where you want the outside locked off.
11) Which dogging option should I pick on the Detex 2714D?
Three choices: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is the standard shop option for holding the pad down during open hours. Cylinder dogging keys it so only staff with the key can dog the device, which suits schools and multi-tenant buildings. Less/no dogging is the choice on fire rated openings.
12) Is the Detex 2714D tough enough for a high traffic school or warehouse exit?
It's a Grade 1 commercial device rated super heavy duty, with an oversized stainless steel relatching top bolt and a hardened steel bottom drop bolt. That bolt construction is the reason it gets specified on high abuse doors where a standard rod device gets pried or kicked.
13) Is there a lower cost vertical rod device if I don't need the high security bolts?
If the opening is ordinary interior traffic, the Delaney 8100 Series and 9100 Series are Grade 1 vertical rod devices for a 36 x 84 door, and the Delaney F9100 Series is the fire rated version. Cal-Royal's 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty, exit only, non-rated device. Step down from the 2714D only where you don't need its oversized relatching top bolt and hardened bottom drop bolt, or the tornado rated and delayed egress options.
14) Do I need a dust proof strike with the Detex 2714D bottom bolt?
The hardened steel bottom drop bolt accepts an optional dust proof strike. Use one where the bolt drops into a finished floor, since it keeps debris out of the hole and protects the floor around the bolt. On an exterior pair it also cuts down on the grit that jams a bottom bolt.
15) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 2714D on a fire rated pair of doors?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device in Grade 2 with ADA compliance, and it is listed as not fire rated and exit only function. The Detex 2714D is a Grade 1 super-heavy duty device available in a fire rated build with a stainless steel relatching top bolt, and its Lever Always Active function includes outside lever trim. For a fire rated pair, choose the fire rated 2714D configuration or another fire rated vertical rod device.
16) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device than the Detex 2714D for a standard 36 by 84 inch non-rated door?
The Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 is a Grade 1 vertical rod device sized for a 36 by 84 inch door, non-rated, and the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for the same 36 by 84 inch opening in a stainless steel finish, also non-rated. Both come as a fixed door size. The Detex 2714D is a super-heavy duty Advantex device with a hardened steel bottom drop bolt, a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, and electrified options including delayed egress, request to exit, and electric alarm with or without battery.
17) Which vertical rod devices are non-handed if I do not want to specify handing like the Detex 2714D requires?
The Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device, and the M9900FVR in 36 by 84 inch fire rated is also non-handed. The Detex 2714D is ordered as a handed device in right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though it is field reversible, so a single stocked unit can be flipped in the field rather than replaced.
18) I need a decorative brass or bronze finish on a vertical rod exit device. How does the Detex 2714D compare with the alternatives?
The Detex 2714D is offered in 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted, with exposed surfaces finished over stainless steel using a PVD process. Among the comparables, the Delaney DLY-692301 is listed in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney DLY-694300 in an aluminum finish, so if the opening calls for brass, bronze or a painted finish, specify the 2714D in that finish code.
19) What finishes does the Detex 2714D come in, and will it match the other doors in my building?
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. The plated finishes are PVD over stainless steel, so they hold up better outdoors than lacquered brass. 630 and 695 are the usual choices for matching existing commercial openings.
20) How hard is the Detex 27 Series to install, and do I need templates?
No paper templates. The Advantex 27 Series ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that marks the door and frame hole locations directly, and door prep is minimal. Detex publishes the full installation instructions and door prep templates as PDFs if you want to check the prep before the doors are ordered.
