Detex 30 HD 628 90 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex 30 Advantex mortise exit device be used on a fire rated door opening?
No. The Detex 30 Advantex mortise device is a panic device only, not fire rated. On a labeled opening you need a fire exit device, and a fire rated vertical rod alternative would be the Delaney F9100 Series or the Marks USA M9900FVR. Using a non-fire-rated device on a labeled door voids the label.
2) My aluminum storefront door has a narrow 2 inch stile. Is the Detex 30 the right device?
No. The 30 Advantex is a wide stile device sized for a 48 inch door, so it needs a wide stile. Narrow stile glass-front openings need a narrow stile rim or concealed vertical rod device instead.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex 30 Advantex?
The device itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but ordering requires you to pick Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, because the mortise lock case and outside trim are handed. Confirm which way the door swings from the outside before you order.
4) Will the Detex 30 latch into the strike already in my frame?
The mortise latch bolt has a 3/4 inch projection and is anti-friction and deadlocking, so it needs a strike with prep to match a mortise lock case, not a rim strike. Detex includes a patented mounting plate and strike locator that marks the frame strike position off the device instead of a paper template, so plan on setting a new strike rather than reusing an existing one.
5) What outside trim options can I get on the 30 Advantex, and can I use it for classroom doors?
Five outside choices: 01CM blank plate, 03CM night latch, 08DMS classroom lever, 09DMS storeroom lever, or exit only with no outside trim. For a classroom opening where staff key the outside lever, order the 08DMS. Outside trims can be changed or re-keyed later without pulling the device off the door.
6) What electrified options are available on the Detex 30 Advantex exit device?
Four, plus a plain mechanical version: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ER EX electric latch retraction with a request-to-exit switch. Pick EX if you only need the access control panel to see the exit, EE for a delayed egress opening, and ER EX where the panel needs to retract the latch for card-in access.
7) What is the difference between the Detex 30 mortise device and a surface vertical rod device?
The Detex 30 is a mortise exit device: the latch is a single 3/4 inch mortise latch bolt into the frame jamb, so there are no rods running to the head and threshold. A surface vertical rod device such as the Von Duprin 8827 or Imperial USA ED-VR531 latches top and bottom, which is what you need on a pair of doors with no mullion. Choose the mortise 30 on a single door or an active leaf where you want nothing exposed on the door face above and below the pushbar.
8) The Detex 30 Advantex 48 inch is not fire rated - what fire rated vertical rod device covers a 48 inch door?
For a fire rated 48 inch opening, the Marks USA M9900F-VR is the option in the same size class: a 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated vertical rod panic exit device, exit only. The Detex 30 Advantex 48 inch carries a Grade 1 rating but is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled fire door assembly. If your 48 inch leaf is a labeled door, specify the fire rated Marks device; if the opening is panic only, the Detex 30 gives you outside trim choices the exit only Marks device does not.
9) What should I use instead of the Detex 30 Advantex on a 36 inch wide door?
The Detex 30 Advantex covered here is built at 48 inch size for wide stile applications. For a 36 inch by 84 inch leaf, the Grade 1 peers in that size are the Delaney 9100 Series vertical rod device in stainless steel finish, the Delaney 8100 Series vertical rod device, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device sold exit only. All three are non-fire-rated, so if the 36 inch opening is labeled, look instead to the fire rated Delaney F9100 Series or the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 inch by 84 inch device.
10) Should I order cylinder dogging or hex dogging on the Detex 30?
Three dogging choices: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Hex key dogging is the low-cost way to hold the pushbar down during business hours; cylinder dogging locks that control behind a keyed cylinder so tenants or the public cannot dog the door. The 30 uses a 1/8 turn dogging action. Less dogging is for openings where the door must never be held retracted.
11) Is the Detex 30 a Grade 1 device, and how does it compare to a Grade 2 exit device?
Grade 1 and rated super-heavy-duty, with exposed surfaces PVD finished over stainless steel. A Grade 2 device such as the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod is built for lighter traffic. For a school corridor, stadium, or any high-abuse opening, the Grade 1 device is the one that holds up.
12) Can the Detex 30 replace another manufacturer's exit device on an existing door?
Detex states the 30 Advantex is made for simple retrofit to other manufacturers' hardware, and the patented mounting plate with strike locator sets the new hole pattern without a paper template. Because it is a mortise device, the door needs a mortise lock prep, so a rim device coming off the door is not a straight swap.
13) I only need exit only hardware on a 48 inch door - is there a simpler option than the Detex 30 Advantex?
Yes. The Marks USA M9900VR at 48 inch by 84 inch is a vertical rod panic exit device supplied exit only and non-fire-rated, so there is no outside trim, cylinder, or lever to specify. The Detex 30 Advantex 48 inch also offers an Exit Only trim choice, but it is built as a super-heavy-duty Grade 1 mortise device with cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging and eight finishes from polished brass through black painted. Choose the Marks device for a plain push-to-exit opening; choose the Detex 30 when you want the mortise latching, dogging choice, or finish match.
14) What finishes does the Detex 30 Advantex come in for matching existing hardware?
Eight finishes: 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. 630 and 628 are the usual matches for commercial aluminum and stainless openings. All are PVD applied over stainless steel.
