Detex 30-693-90-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex 30 Series Advantex?
You pick a handing on the order, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings exit devices use since the door swings out. The device itself is non-handed and field sizeable, so the chassis adapts, but choose the handing that matches your opening so the strike and trim prep line up.
2) Which strike do I order for the Detex 30 Series on a pair of doors with no mullion?
For double doors, order strike 92 (double door short open back) or 93 (double door long open back). On a single door, strike 90 is the non-handed curved lip and 91 is the ANSI flat lip. The open-back strikes are what let the mortise latch engage at the inactive leaf on a pair.
3) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex 30 Series Advantex mortise device?
Yes, the 30 Series is ordered as either fire rated or non-rated, so specify the fire rated option for a labeled opening. Note that dogging is not used on a fire door, so the fire rated build should be ordered less dogging.
4) Will the Detex 30 latch bolt engage my existing mortise strike?
The 30 Series uses a 3/4 inch projection stainless steel latch bolt with an anti-friction, deadlocking design. Detex supplies four strike choices (curved lip, ANSI flat lip, and two open-back double door strikes), and the patented strike locator sets the frame position, so in most retrofits you install the matching Detex strike rather than reuse the old one. Door prep is minimal, which is what makes the retrofit to other manufacturers' hardware practical.
5) Can I get a Detex 30 Series with an alarm or delayed egress?
Yes. Electrified options on the 30 Series are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EB suits an opening with no power run available; EX is the one to pick when you only need a signal back to an access control panel.
6) The Detex 30 Series will not fit my narrow stile aluminum storefront door. What mortise exit device should I use instead?
The Detex 30 Series Advantex is built for wide stile doors, so on a narrow stile aluminum storefront you need a narrow stile mortise device. The Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 non-fire-rated narrow stile mortise exit device for aluminum doors. The Von Duprin 5575 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors, field reversible and non-fire-rated. Sargent's 8304 is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise device in night latch function if you need outside key retraction.
7) The Detex 30 Series is exit only. What do I order if I need a lever trim on the outside?
The Detex 30 Series Advantex configuration described here is device only, exit only, with no outside trim function. If the opening needs outside entry, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 mortise exit device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors that accepts passage or classroom lever trim, sold with the trim separate. For key-only retraction from outside instead of a lever, the Sargent 8904 is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device in night latch function.
8) I need to hold the door pushed-open during business hours. What dogging should I order on the Detex 30?
Order hex dogging for a standard 1/8 turn hex key hold-open, or cylinder dogging if you want the pad dogged with a key so only keyholders can do it. Less/no dogging is the third choice and is what you use on a fire rated opening.
9) Should I use a mortise exit device like the Detex 30 or a rim device?
A mortise device puts the latch case inside the door edge, so it needs a mortise pocket cut in the leaf but gives a clean single-point latch into the frame jamb, which is why it is common on existing openings already prepped for a mortise lock. A rim device surface mounts with far less door machining and is the simpler choice on a new hollow metal door or where you do not want to mortise the edge. For a pair without a mullion, the 30 Series handles it with the 92 or 93 open-back strike. Where you need latching at head and sill instead, a surface vertical rod device like the Sargent 1256NB-8710G is the type to look at.
10) What is the difference between the Detex 30 Series Advantex and the Von Duprin 8875 or 9875?
All three are Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit devices that are not wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT uses a crossbar actuator and is non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 9875-3FT is a smooth case push pad device, also non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors; both are listed non-fire-rated. The Detex 30 Series uses a push pad with a heavy duty angled end cap, a 3/4 inch projection stainless steel anti-friction deadlocking latch bolt, 1/8 turn dogging, and a patented mounting plate and strike locator system, and it is ordered fire rated or non-rated in 36 inch or 48 inch sizes.
11) Is there a wide stile mortise exit device with a recessed push pad for an abuse-prone opening?
The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad, listed non-fire-rated. The Detex 30 Series Advantex takes a different approach to the same problem: a heavy duty angled end cap that deflects damage away from the device, stainless steel exposed surfaces with PVD coating, and super-heavy-duty Grade 1 construction for high-use, high-abuse environments, with fire rated or non-rated builds available.
12) Will a Sargent 810 or a Sargent 1256NB vertical rod device work in place of the Detex 30 Series Advantex?
Neither is a substitute. The Sargent 810 is a dummy pull exit device trim in the PE80 Series, so it provides no latching or egress function at all. The Sargent 1256NB-8710G is an 84 inch fire rated surface mount vertical rod device with electric latch retraction and narrow stile construction, a different mounting method and door type. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is a wide stile mortise exit device in device only, exit only function, sized 36 inch or 48 inch.
13) We standardize on BEST hardware. How does the BEST Precision 2301 mortise exit device compare to the Detex 30 Series?
The BEST Precision 2301 is a 2300 Series mortise exit device in exit-only function with heavy wrought construction. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is also a mortise device in exit only form, and it is ordered with more configuration built in: 36 inch or 48 inch length, fire rated or non-rated, hex, cylinder or less dogging, four strike styles including ANSI flat lip and double door open back, and electrified options such as delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch. That breadth matters if you are standardizing one series across single and double door openings.
14) What finishes does the Detex 30 Series Advantex mortise exit device come 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, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. Exposed surfaces are finished over stainless steel with a PVD coating, which is why these hold up better than plated finishes on exterior and high-abuse doors.
15) How do I get door prep dimensions for the Detex 30 Series Advantex?
Detex publishes the installation instructions and the 30 Series catalog, both available as PDFs, and the device ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator that replaces paper templates for marking the door and frame. Use those for the mortise pocket and strike locations rather than scaling anything off a drawing.
16) Is the Detex 30 Series suitable for a high-traffic school or hospital exit?
That is what it is built for. It is a commercial Grade 1 device, described as super-heavy-duty for high-use, high-abuse service, with a heavy duty angled end cap that deflects impact away from the device and stainless steel exposed surfaces under PVD. Common applications include schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings.
