Detex 30 HD 628 90 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing for the Detex 30 Advantex exit device?
Yes, on the order. The device itself is built non-handed and field sizeable, but you order it as either Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Exit devices are always a reverse bevel hand because the door swings out, away from the person pushing the bar. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door pulls toward you, it's Right Hand Reverse.
2) What is the difference between the Detex 30 mortise exit device and a surface vertical rod device?
The Detex 30 Advantex is a mortise exit device: it latches into a mortise lock case in the edge of the door with a 3/4 inch projection stainless steel latch bolt, single point into the frame jamb. A surface vertical rod device instead latches top and bottom, at the head and the threshold, which is what lets it secure a pair of doors without a center mullion. Use the mortise 30 on a single door where you want one clean latch point and no floor strike to trip over or collect debris. For a pair of doors with no mullion, go to a vertical rod device such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile or the Imperial USA ED-VR531.
3) Will the Detex 30 Advantex fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The 30 Advantex in the 36 inch size is a wide stile device, and it needs the stile depth to take a mortise lock case in the door edge. A narrow stile aluminum entrance door won't accept it. Wide stile is the right call on hollow metal and heavy commercial aluminum doors; for narrow stile glass front openings you want a device built for narrow stile, not this one.
4) What do I have to order with the Detex 30 exit device to get a lever on the outside?
Outside trim is a separate choice on the order and it decides how the door works from the pull side. Pick 08DMS Classroom Lever Trim if you want a keyed lever that stays unlocked or locked by key, 09DMS Storeroom Lever Trim if the outside lever should always be locked and key-only entry, 03CM Night Latch Trim for key retraction with no lever, 01CM Blank Plate for a plain plate, or Exit Only for no outside operation at all. Exit Only means the door is push-to-exit and there is no way back in through it.
5) How do I keep the Detex 30 exit device unlocked during business hours?
Dogging is what holds the latch retracted so the door pushes free, and you choose it at order time. Cylinder Dogging uses a key so only keyholders can dog and undog the device, which is the usual pick for a school or retail entry where staff control open hours. Hex Dogging uses an allen wrench, cheaper and fine where only maintenance touches it. Less Dogging means no dogging at all, which is what you order if the opening must stay latched at all times. The 30 uses 1/8 turn dogging.
6) Can the Detex 30 Advantex replace another manufacturer's exit device without redoing the door?
Detex builds the 30 Advantex for retrofit to other manufacturers' hardware, and it's non-handed and field sizeable, so one device covers both hands and gets cut to the door on site. Installation uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of a paper template, which is what makes hitting the existing prep practical. It is a mortise device, so the door you are retrofitting has to already have, or be able to take, a mortise pocket in the door edge.
7) What electrified options can I get on the Detex 30 Advantex exit device?
Four, and they do different jobs. EA Hardwired Electric Alarm makes the device a local alarmed exit, sounding when the bar is pushed. EX Request To Exit sends a dry signal to the access control panel so the system knows a legitimate exit happened and doesn't log a forced door. EE Delayed Egress holds the door for the code-permitted delay before releasing, used on retail and memory care openings. ER EX combines electric latch retraction with a request to exit switch, so access control can hold the latch retracted for scheduled unlock and card access. Order None if the opening is purely mechanical. All of them need power run to the door, so plan a power transfer or electric hinge.
8) Does a surface vertical rod exit device work on the same door as a Detex 30 Advantex mortise device?
They are not interchangeable in the same prep even though they answer the same egress requirement. The Detex 30 Advantex is a mortise exit device, which means the latching is in a pocket cut into the lock edge of the door. Surface vertical rod devices such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Cal-Royal 9860 latch at the top and bottom of the door through rods run on the door face, with strikes at the header and the threshold. Two consequences for the field: a surface vertical rod device needs a top strike and usually a floor strike or bottom rod that the mortise device does not, and a door already cut for a mortise device will carry that pocket regardless of which device goes on. Confirm the existing prep before ordering across those two types.
9) The Detex 30 Advantex is not fire rated. What Grade 1 exit device covers a fire rated 36 inch opening instead?
For a fire rated 36 by 84 inch door, the Delaney F9100 Series device, SKU DLY-694300, is Grade 1 and fire rated, in an aluminum finish. The Marks USA M9900FVR, sized 36 by 84 inches, is also fire rated and is a non-handed exit only vertical rod device. The Detex 30 Advantex is a Grade 1 super-heavy-duty mortise exit device that is not fire rated, so on a labeled opening the Delaney F9100 or the Marks M9900FVR is the device that carries the label. Note the Marks unit is exit only, so if the opening needs outside lever entry, the Delaney is the one to price.
10) Will the Detex 30 mortise exit device latch into my existing strike?
The latch bolt is stainless steel with 3/4 inch projection, anti-friction and deadlocking. Anti-friction matters on a door with any drag or a slight warp, since it lets the bolt pass the strike lip without binding, and the deadlocking feature blocks the bolt from being shimmed once the door is closed. Because it's a mortise device, it needs a mortise strike in the frame at the lock height, not a rim strike. The included strike locator system positions the frame prep to the device rather than asking you to shoot from a paper template.
11) Is the Detex 30 exit device heavy duty enough for a school or a high traffic entry?
It's Grade 1 and rated Super-Heavy-Duty, built for high-use, high-abuse openings. The angled end cap deflects impact away from the device, which matters where carts and equipment hit the bar. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware, above the Grade 2 you'd find on a lighter device like the Cal-Royal 9860. Exposed surfaces are PVD finished over stainless steel, so the finish holds up under hand traffic rather than wearing through.
12) What else could I buy instead of the Detex 30 for a 36 inch commercial exit door?
If you want a mortise latch into the frame, the Detex 30 Advantex is the device; the alternatives ZenSupply carries at this size are vertical rod types that latch top and bottom instead. Grade 1 wide stile: the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 500 Series, both surface vertical rod. The Delaney 9100 Series and Delaney 8100 Series are Grade 1 vertical rod devices sized for a 36 x 84 door. The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 is a non-handed vertical rod device. Note that the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and several of these, including the Imperial and the Marks, are exit only with no outside trim option.
13) I need an exit device for a 48 inch wide door, will the Detex 30 work?
No. The Detex 30 Advantex in this configuration is built for a 36 inch door. For a 48 inch opening, the Marks USA M9900VR 48 x 84 vertical rod device covers it, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR 48 x 84 is the fire rated version of that size.
14) Is there a simpler exit only device for a 36 inch door that does not need outside trim like the Detex 30 Advantex?
Yes. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device built exit only and non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device also built exit only. Neither carries outside trim, so on a stair discharge, a rear exit, or any leaf that never needs to be entered from outside, they cover the egress requirement without trim to specify. The Detex 30 Advantex is the choice when the opening does need outside entry, since it is ordered with blank plate, night latch, classroom lever, or storeroom lever trim, and it is handed right hand reverse or left hand reverse rather than non-handed.
15) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal 9860 and the Detex 30 Advantex for a commercial opening?
They sit at different grades and different device types. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit device, exit only, with ADA compliance, and it is not fire rated. The Detex 30 Advantex is Grade 1, super-heavy-duty, and a mortise exit device with lever trim available. For a low traffic interior door where Grade 2 satisfies the spec and no outside entry is needed, the 9860 does the job. Where the drawing calls Grade 1, or the opening is high-use and high-abuse, or the leaf needs classroom or storeroom function from outside, the Grade 2 exit only device will not answer and the Detex 30 will.
16) Which Grade 1 vertical rod device should I use on a 48 inch leaf instead of the Detex 30 Advantex 36 inch?
The Detex 30 Advantex configuration described here is built for a 36 inch size, so a wider leaf needs a different device. The Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 covers a 48 by 84 inch opening as an exit only vertical rod panic device, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers 48 by 84 inches fire rated and exit only. Both are exit only, so confirm the leaf does not need outside entry before committing. On a pair of doors, the 48 inch device typically goes on the active or inactive leaf that exceeds the 36 inch device range.
17) Are the Delaney 9100 and 8100 Series vertical rod devices a direct swap for the Detex 30 Advantex?
Not a direct swap, though both are Grade 1. The Delaney 9100 Series, SKU DLY-692301, is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in a stainless steel finish, not fire rated. The Delaney 8100 Series, SKU DLY-8100-3684, is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 by 84 inch door, also not fire rated. Both match the Detex 30 Advantex on Grade 1 and on the 36 inch door width. Where they part company is the door prep: the Detex 30 is a mortise exit device, so swapping to a Delaney vertical rod device means the mortise pocket is no longer used and the door is prepped for the Delaney template instead. Treat these as alternates on a new opening rather than retrofits into an existing Detex mortise prep.
18) For standardizing exit hardware across a facility, which devices match the Detex 30 Advantex on grade?
On the Grade 1 line, the Detex 30 Advantex, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301, the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684, and the fire rated Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 all carry Grade 1. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2, so it sits outside a Grade 1 facility standard. Within the Grade 1 group, the Detex 30 is the one specified as super-heavy-duty, and the Delaney F9100 is the one that is fire rated, which is the pairing to keep in mind when a standard has to cover both labeled and unlabeled openings.
19) The door is wood. Can I use the Detex 30 Advantex or should I look at another device?
The Detex 30 Advantex is specified as not wood door compatible and not weatherized, so it is aimed at metal doors in interior and protected commercial openings. Among the alternates for a 36 by 84 inch leaf, the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 and the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 are Grade 1 vertical rod devices sized for that door, and the Marks USA M9900VR covers the same 36 by 84 size as a non-handed exit only device. Verify the device you pick against the door manufacturer's prep for a wood leaf before ordering.
20) What finishes does the Detex 30 Advantex exit device come in to match my other openings?
Eight: 605 Polished Brass, 606 Brushed Brass, 611 Polished Bronze, 612 Brushed Bronze, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 628 Brushed Aluminum, 630 Brushed Stainless Steel, and 693 Black Painted. For a building standardizing across doors, 630 and 628 are the two that line up with most existing commercial hardware. All exposed surfaces are PVD finished over stainless steel rather than plated, so the coating wears better on a push bar than a conventional plated finish.
21) Is there a template for prepping the door for a Detex 30 Advantex?
The device ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that takes the place of a paper template, which is the point of the Advantex install method, the plate itself sets the hole locations and the locator positions the frame strike to match. Detex also publishes door prep templates and full installation instructions, plus a maintenance manual, all available as PDFs with the product.
