Detex 3003CM-628-90-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex Advantex 3003CM mortise exit device be used on a wood door?
No. The Advantex 3003CM is not wood door compatible, so it's for hollow metal and aluminum openings only. If the opening is a wood door, the Adams Rite 3300 Series fire-rated mortise device or the Adams Rite 8300 Series non-rated mortise device are both wide stile mortise devices listed for wood and hollow metal doors.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 3003CM, and which hands are offered?
Handing is required. The 3003CM mortise device is ordered either Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two standard hands for an outswinging exit door. Unlike some crossbar mortise devices that ship non-handed (the Von Duprin 8875 and 9875 are listed as non-handed), this one is built to hand, so confirm the swing before you order.
3) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex Advantex 30 Series mortise device?
Yes, the 3003CM is ordered as either Fire Rated or Non-Rated. Fire rated devices cannot be dogged down, so if you want the latch held retracted during business hours pick the non-rated build with hex or cylinder dogging. On a labeled opening, choose the Fire Rated version and order it less dogging.
4) Can I use the Detex Advantex 3003CM on a pair of doors?
Yes. The 30 Series mortise device covers single and double door applications, and the strike list includes two pair-specific options, the 92 double door short open back and the 93 double door long open back, so the active leaf latches into the inactive leaf. Pick short or long open back based on how far the strike has to reach on your leaf.
5) What electrified options can I add to the Detex 30 Series mortise exit device?
Four electrified builds are offered alongside the plain mechanical device: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request-to-exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EX is the one to pick when you just need a signal back to an access control panel; EB suits a door with no power run to it; EE is for a controlled-egress opening where local code permits delayed egress.
6) The opening is a narrow stile aluminum door - what mortise exit device should be used instead of the Detex 3003CM?
The Detex Advantex 3003CM is built as a wide stile device, so a narrow stile opening calls for a different device. Narrow stile mortise options include the Adams Rite 8400 Series life-safety narrow stile mortise exit device for aluminum doors, Grade 1 and non fire rated; the Von Duprin 5575-3ft narrow stile crossbar mortise device, Grade 1, field reversible, 1-3/4 inch door thickness, non fire rated; and the Sargent 8304 narrow stile mortise device in night latch function.
7) What is a direct alternative to the Detex 3003CM mortise exit device on a wide stile hollow metal door?
The Detex Advantex 3003CM is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device that is not wood door compatible. Close wide stile Grade 1 mortise alternatives include the Von Duprin 9875-3FT smooth case mortise exit device, also wide stile, Grade 1, non-handed, 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and not wood door compatible; the Von Duprin 8875-3FT crossbar mortise device with the same wide stile, Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch and non-wood profile; and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL Grade 1 wide stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 3003CM differs in trim function, supplying key retracts latch pull trim, while the ED5600AL is exit only or accepts separately ordered classroom or passage lever trim.
8) Which mortise exit device offers delayed egress or request-to-exit signaling?
The Detex Advantex 3003CM can be ordered with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress and EB electric alarm with battery, alongside hex, cylinder or no dogging. Among the comparables, the Sargent 8904 wide stile night latch mortise device is specified with 24VAC/DC operation and the Sargent 1256NB-8710G vertical rod device includes electric latch retraction.
9) How does the key retracts latch function on the Detex 3003CM work from the outside?
Outside access is through a pull trim with a cylinder: turning the key retracts the mortise latch so you can pull the door open. It does not set the door to free passage, so it suits a service or back-of-house door where staff carry a key and the door stays secured the rest of the time. If you need a lever with passage or classroom behavior instead, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL accepts passage or classroom lever trim.
10) Is the Detex Advantex 30 Series tough enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device built super heavy duty for high-use, high-abuse openings, with an angled end cap that deflects impact away from the device body and exposed surfaces finished over stainless steel with a PVD coating. Outside trim can be changed or re-keyed without pulling the device off the door, which keeps a door out of service for less time on a re-key.
11) What is the difference between hex dogging and cylinder dogging on this Detex device?
Both hold the push pad depressed so the door pushes free, using the 1/8 turn dogging feature. Hex dogging is operated with an allen wrench, which is fine where only staff carry the tool; cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so dogging is controlled by the same key system you already issue, which is what most property managers and institutional buyers standardize on. Order less dogging on fire rated openings.
12) Should I use a mortise exit device like this Detex, or a rim device?
A mortise device such as the 3003CM puts the lock case inside a pocket routed into the door edge, which gives a cleaner look and a concealed latch but demands a full mortise prep, so it makes most sense on new doors or where a mortise pocket already exists. A rim device surface mounts with a strike on the frame stop and is far less work on an existing door. Because this one is wide stile and not wood door compatible, it is aimed at hollow metal and wide stile aluminum openings.
13) Can the Detex 3003CM replace another manufacturer's mortise exit device without redoing the door?
The Detex Advantex 3003CM is designed for easy retrofit to other manufacturers' devices with minimal door preparation, and its patented mounting plate and strike locator system replaces paper templates for locating holes. It is a wide stile device that is not wood door compatible, so it maps most directly onto other wide stile hollow metal mortise devices such as the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and 9875-3FT, both wide stile Grade 1 and also not wood door compatible. Verify the existing door prep against the Detex door templates before ordering.
14) What is a simpler exit-only mortise device if the key retracts latch pull trim on the Detex 3003CM is more than the door needs?
The Detex Advantex 3003CM ships in key retracts latch pull trim function. Where no outside key access is wanted, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device in exit only function for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch size, and the BEST Precision 2301 is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL can also be used exit only, with lever trim ordered separately.
15) Is a night latch mortise exit device the same function as the Detex 3003CM?
They are close but not identical. The Detex Advantex 3003CM is supplied with key retracts latch pull trim. The Sargent 8904 is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device in night latch function with 24VAC/DC operation, and the Sargent 8304 is the narrow stile Grade 1 night latch version. Confirm the trim function called out on the door schedule before substituting, since the stile width and electrical requirement differ between them.
16) Which comparable exit devices are not substitutes for the Detex 3003CM mortise device?
Two look adjacent but latch differently or not at all. The Sargent 1256NB-8710G is a surface mount vertical rod exit device with electric latch retraction in an 84 inch narrow stile configuration, not a mortise lock device. The Sargent 810 is a dummy pull exit device trim with no latching function at all. The Detex Advantex 3003CM is a mortise lock exit device with key retracts latch pull trim.
17) Between the Detex 3003CM and a crossbar mortise device, which suits a high-abuse opening?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile mortise devices, and they differ in actuator style. The Detex Advantex 3003CM is a push pad device with a heavy duty angled end cap that deflects damage away from the device and a patented mounting plate and strike locator system for installation. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT and 5575-3ft use a crossbar actuator, and the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a wide stile mortise device with a recessed push pad. Crossbar versus push pad is usually a specification and appearance decision for the opening.
18) We need a 48 inch mortise exit device - does the Detex 3003CM cover that width?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 3003CM is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, with strike options including 90 non-handed curved lip, 91 ANSI flat lip, 92 double door short open back and 93 double door long open back. Several comparable mortise devices in the set are catalogued at 36 inch, including the Falcon 25-M-EO at 36 inch wide stile and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT and 8875-3FT at 3 ft.
19) Which finish should I order to match the rest of my Detex exit hardware?
Ten finishes are available on the 3003CM: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. For matching an existing fleet of commercial exits, 630 brushed stainless and 628 brushed aluminum are the usual standards.
