Detex 3014DM-628-90-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex Advantex 3014DM mortise exit device be used on a wood door?
No. The Advantex 3014DM is not wood door compatible, so plan on hollow metal or aluminum openings. If the job is wood or hollow metal, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is a fire-rated wide stile mortise device listed for both wood and hollow metal, and the Adams Rite 8300 Series is the non-fire-rated equivalent for those same door materials.
2) What does "Lever Always Active" mean on the Detex 3014DM exit device?
The outside lever on the 3014DM stays unlocked and retracts the latch at all times, so it works as a passage function from the outside while the push pad gives free egress from the inside. That is the opposite of a night latch device like the Sargent 8904 wide stile mortise unit, where the outside trim is key-operated only, and different again from exit-only devices such as the Falcon 25-M-EO or BEST Precision 2301, which have no outside trim at all.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex Advantex 3014DM?
Yes, handing is required. The 3014DM is built as either right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which is how exit devices are handed since the door always swings out from the secure side. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door pulls toward you, it is right hand reverse. Unlike non-handed devices such as the Von Duprin 9875 or 8875, this one cannot be flipped in the field, so get it right on the order.
4) Which strike do I order with the Detex 30 Series mortise device for a pair of doors?
Four strike options are offered: 90 non-handed curved lip, 91 ANSI flat lip, 92 double door short open back, and 93 double door long open back. Single doors into a frame take the 90 or the 91 (the 91 matches an ANSI 4-7/8 inch frame prep). Pairs take the 92 or 93 open back strike, which mounts on the inactive leaf; choose the long open back where the lip has to reach further across the meeting stiles.
5) Can I get the Detex Advantex 3014DM fire rated for a labeled opening?
Yes, the 3014DM is built in both fire rated and non-rated versions, so specify the fire rated option for a labeled door. Keep in mind that fire rated exit devices are supplied without dogging, since a fire door has to latch on every closing.
6) Does the Detex 3014DM come with an alarm or delayed egress option?
Yes. Beyond the plain mechanical device, the 3014DM can be ordered as EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request-to-exit signal switch for tying into access control, or EE delayed egress. Pick EB where you do not want to run power to the door, and EX where the door just needs to report its use to the access control panel rather than sound locally.
7) Will the Detex Advantex 3014DM latch into my existing strike prep when replacing another brand's mortise exit device?
The Advantex 30 Series is built to retrofit other manufacturers' devices with minimal door preparation, and it uses a 3/4 inch projection stainless steel latch bolt with an anti-friction, deadlocking design. The patented mounting plate and strike locator replaces paper templates, so you mark off the device itself rather than trusting the old holes. Verify that your opening is hollow metal or aluminum and wide stile before you commit, since the device is not for wood doors.
8) I need a mortise exit device for an aluminum narrow stile door - what should I use instead of the Detex 3014DM?
The Detex Advantex 3014DM is built for wide stile doors, so it will not fit a narrow stile aluminum frame. For narrow stile openings, the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 life-safety narrow stile mortise exit device for aluminum doors, the Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors and field reversible, and the Sargent 8304 is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise device in night latch function.
9) What is the closest wide stile mortise exit device to the Detex 3014DM from another manufacturer?
The Detex Advantex 3014DM is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. The closest peers by construction class are the Von Duprin 9875-3FT, a 3 ft smooth case wide stile mortise exit device rated Grade 1 and non-handed, and the Von Duprin 8875-3FT wide stile crossbar mortise device at 36 inches, also Grade 1. Both Von Duprin models are listed for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness and are not wood door compatible, matching the 3014DM, which is also not wood door compatible. The visible difference is the actuator: the 8875 uses a crossbar, the 9875 a smooth push pad case.
10) The Detex 3014DM has a lever that is always active - what do I order if I want exit only with no outside trim?
The 3014DM is a Lever Always Active function, meaning outside lever trim retracts the latch at all times. If the opening should be egress only with no outside operation, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 exit only wide stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors at 36 inches, and the BEST Precision 2301 Series is an exit only mortise device with heavy wrought construction. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is supplied exit only or for use with separately ordered classroom or passage lever trim.
11) I am replacing a Von Duprin 8875 crossbar device - will the Detex 3014DM retrofit that opening?
The Detex Advantex 3014DM is designed for easy retrofit to other manufacturers with minimal door preparation, and it uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT it would replace is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors, not wood door compatible - the same wide stile, non-wood class as the 3014DM, which is also offered at 36 inches. Verify handing, as the 3014DM is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse while the 8875 is non-handed.
12) What dogging choices come on the Detex Advantex 30 Series, and which should I pick?
Three: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is the standard maintenance choice and uses a 1/8 turn to hold the pad depressed. Cylinder dogging lets you key the dogging into the building's system so only keyholders can put the door on push/pull. Order less dogging on fire rated openings.
13) Is the Detex Advantex 30 Series exit device Grade 1?
Yes, the Advantex 30 Series carries a Grade 1 rating and is a commercial-duty device, which is what most school, healthcare, and government specs call for on an exit opening. Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA duty level for exit hardware.
14) Can I rekey or change the outside trim on the Detex 3014DM without pulling the device off the door?
Yes. Outside trims on the Advantex 30 Series are changed or re-keyed with the device still mounted, which is the difference between a five minute service call and a full removal on a building with dozens of exit doors. The angled heavy duty end cap also takes the abuse from carts and traffic away from the device body.
15) Should I use a mortise exit device like the Detex 3014DM or a rim or vertical rod device?
A mortise device like the Advantex 3014DM puts the lock case inside the door edge and latches into the frame jamb, so it gives a clean look and a single latch point on a single door or on the active leaf of a pair with a mullion. It requires a mortise pocket in the stile, which is why it is wide stile only and not for wood doors here. Where you need to secure a pair without a mullion, a vertical rod device latching at head and sill is the right call, such as the Sargent 1256NB-8710G surface vertical rod unit with electric latch retraction.
16) What are the alternatives to the Detex Advantex 3014DM if I need lever trim on a wide stile metal door?
Close wide stile Grade 1 mortise alternatives include the Von Duprin 9875 smooth case and 8875 crossbar devices, both non-handed, both for 1-3/4 inch doors and both not wood door compatible, and the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series with a recessed push pad for high-abuse openings. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a 3 hour fire rated wide stile mortise device that accepts passage or classroom lever trim, sold separately. The Detex differs in that its lever trim function is always active and it is offered in both fire rated and non-rated builds.
17) Is the Sargent 810 a substitute for the Detex 3014DM?
No. The Detex Advantex 3014DM is a complete Grade 1 mortise exit device with a latching mechanism and always active lever trim. The Sargent 810 is a dummy pull exit device trim in dummy function, so it provides a pull only with no latching. Use it on an inactive leaf, not as a replacement for a working exit device.
18) I need electric latch retraction - does the Detex 3014DM cover that or should I look at another device?
The Detex Advantex 3014DM electrified options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and EB electric alarm with battery, plus a none option. For electric latch retraction on a fire rated opening, the Sargent 1256NB-8710G is an 84 inch Grade 1 narrow stile fire rated surface mount vertical rod exit device with electric latch retraction, though it is a vertical rod device rather than a mortise lock device.
19) Which wide stile mortise exit device holds up best to abuse - the Detex 3014DM or the Von Duprin 9475/9575?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit devices. The Detex Advantex 3014DM uses super heavy-duty stainless steel construction with a 3/4 inch projection stainless steel latch bolt, a PVD finish over stainless steel, and a heavy duty angled end cap that deflects damage away from the device. The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series uses a recessed push pad on a wide stile chassis and is listed as not fire rated, whereas the 3014DM can be ordered fire rated or non-rated.
20) Can I match the Detex 30 Series exit device to the finishes already in my building?
Ten finishes are available: 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. The exposed surfaces are finished over stainless steel using a PVD process, which holds up better than plating on high-traffic exterior doors. 630 and 628 are the usual matches for existing commercial hardware.
