Detex 40 HD 693 99 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Detex 40 Advantex on a pair of doors?
Yes, with a mullion. The 40 Advantex is a rim device, so it latches into a strike on the frame or on a removable mullion between the leaves. Detex builds it for narrow stile single doors and for double doors with mullions. If you need a pair to open clear with no mullion in the middle, a rim device is the wrong type and you want vertical rod hardware instead.
2) Is the Detex 40 Advantex available fire rated?
Yes. Rating is an ordering choice: Standard, F for fire rated, H for hurricane, or HF for hurricane and fire rated together. Fire rated versions cannot be dogged open, so pair an F or HF device with the Less Dogging option rather than cylinder or hex dogging.
3) What do I have to specify when ordering a Detex 40 Advantex exit device?
Five things beyond finish. Handing (right hand reverse or left hand reverse), electrified option (none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit switch, EE delayed egress, or ER EX electric latch retraction with request to exit), rating (standard, F fire, H hurricane, HF hurricane and fire), device size (36 inch or 48 inch), dogging (cylinder, hex key, or less dogging), and outside trim (01CN blank plate, 03CN night latch, 08DN classroom lever, 09DN storeroom lever, or exit only).
4) Does the Detex 40 Advantex need handing, or is it reversible?
Handing must be specified. It comes right hand reverse or left hand reverse, the two handings that apply to outswinging egress doors. Stand outside the opening: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, that is right hand reverse. Non-handed alternatives exist if you want to stock one part for both swings, such as the BEST 2401 narrow stile rim device or the BEST Precision 5101.
5) Can I add access control or an alarm to the Detex 40 rim device later?
Electrification is factory-ordered on the 40 Advantex, not a field add-on. Choose EA for a hardwired local exit alarm, EX for a request to exit signal switch to your access control panel, EE for delayed egress, or ER EX for electric latch retraction combined with a request to exit switch. ER EX is the option to pick when you want the latch pulled back remotely for badge-in entry during business hours.
6) Will a Detex 40 Advantex fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is what it is built for. The 40 Advantex is a narrow stile rim device, so the chassis and rail suit the slim lock stile of aluminum and glass entrances, and it is not wood door rated. The latch is a stainless deadlocking Pullman type that catches a surface strike on the frame.
7) What outside trim options work with the Detex 40 Advantex, and can trim be changed later?
Five outside choices: 01CN blank plate, 03CN night latch trim (key retracts the latch), 08DN classroom lever, 09DN storeroom lever, or exit only with no outside operation. Trim can be swapped or re-keyed in the field without pulling the device off the door, which matters when a tenant changes and you need to move a classroom function to storeroom.
8) If I need a fire rated rim device and do not want to spec the Detex 40 F option, what else is fire rated?
The Detex 40 Advantex can be ordered in F fire rated and HF hurricane and fire rated configurations. Other fire rated rim devices include the Adams Rite 3700 Series Grade 1 narrow stile, the Dexter ED1000-R-F Grade 1, the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Orca OED85 36 inch exit only, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only.
9) Can I use an SDC switch bar or the Securitron EMB in place of the Detex 40 Advantex with the EA alarm option?
They are different devices, not substitutes. The Detex 40 Advantex is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device with a latch bolt, offered with EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit, EE delayed egress and ER EX electric latch retraction options. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar; both fit narrow or wide stile but rely on the maglock for securing the door. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch doors.
10) Can the Detex 40 exit device be dogged down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes, on non-fire versions. Order cylinder dogging if you want a keyed cylinder to hold the rail depressed, or hex dogging for an allen key. Less dogging is the third choice and is what you use on a fire rated F or HF device, where mechanical dogging is not permitted.
11) Is the Detex 40 Advantex rated for exterior doors in a coastal or wet location?
The 40 Advantex is not a weatherized device, so it is not built for direct exposure. For wind-borne debris openings it does offer H hurricane and HF hurricane plus fire rated builds, which is a structural rating rather than a weather seal. On a fully exposed exterior opening, plan for a protected head or an awning.
12) How does the Detex 40 compare to other Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices?
All are Grade 1 narrow stile rim hardware, but the option depth differs. The Detex 40 Advantex is extra heavy duty and carries factory electrified choices plus hurricane rated builds. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only or accepting trim. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch rim devices. Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors. If you need wood door capability instead, the Adams Rite 8700 is the one in that group listed for wood.
13) Is the Detex 40 Advantex worth it for a high-abuse opening like a school or transit door?
That is the application it targets. Grade 1, extra heavy duty, stainless steel latch mechanism and an angled end cap that deflects impact away from the internals. Detex also supplies a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, which keeps repeat installs consistent when you are standardizing a campus on one device.
14) I need a simpler exit only panic bar instead of the Detex 40 with its trim and electrified options - what else works?
The Detex 40 Advantex is built around selectable outside trim, from a blank plate to night latch, classroom lever and storeroom lever trim, plus electrified options. If you only need free egress with no outside trim, exit only rim devices include the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO narrow stile, the BEST 2401 narrow stile non-handed, the Marks USA M8800 narrow stile 36 inch, and the Corbin Russwin ED2200 Grade 1 wide stile.
15) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 a like-for-like swap for the Detex 40 Advantex?
Not on the rating. The Detex 40 Advantex is Grade 1 and extra heavy duty. The Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 are Grade 2 heavy duty rim devices, and the Cal-Royal A9800 and A9820 also carry a Grade 2 listing at heavy duty. If the specification calls for Grade 1, stay with a Grade 1 device such as the Hager 4701 Series or the Dexter ED1000 Series.
16) The opening needs concealed vertical rods, not a rim device like the Detex 40 - what should I look at?
The Detex 40 Advantex is a rim exit device that latches into a strike on the frame or mullion. For concealed vertical rod hardware, the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, and the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 wide stile pushpad version.
17) I need a night latch function narrow stile device - is the Detex 40 the right pick or is there a dedicated one?
The Detex 40 Advantex covers night latch through its 03CN night latch outside trim, alongside 01CN blank plate, 08DN classroom lever and 09DN storeroom lever. If you prefer a device catalogued as night latch function out of the box, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with night latch function.
18) Does the Detex 40 Advantex come in the same lengths as other rim devices, and what if I need a size it does not cover?
The Detex 40 Advantex is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch. For shorter openings, narrow stile options at 30 inches include the Adams Rite 8800 Series, which lists a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Adams Rite 8700 and 3700 Series. Design Hardware offers the 1000R and 2000R at 33 inches, and the Arrow FS1250 is 32 inches.
19) Detex 40 Advantex versus Stanley QED211 and Dormakaba QED200 - what is the difference?
All three are narrow stile rim exit devices. The Stanley QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 36 inch narrow device supplied with a 7 ft rod. The Detex 40 Advantex is rated extra heavy duty at Grade 1 and lets you choose cylinder dogging, hex dogging or less dogging, plus handing between right hand reverse and left hand reverse.
20) The Detex 40 requires handing - is there a non-handed rim device I can stock instead?
The Detex 40 Advantex is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you would rather stock one non-handed device, the BEST 2401 narrow stile is exit only and non-handed, the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim device, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch is non-handed Grade 1 wide stile, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch doors.
21) Does the Detex 40 come in a finish that will match the rest of my storefront hardware?
Nine finishes are offered: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. Exposed surfaces are PVD over stainless steel, which holds up better than plated finishes on a high-touch entrance.
22) Is a crossbar panic device an alternative to the Detex 40 Advantex?
Only if the opening allows a wide stile crossbar. The Detex 40 Advantex is a narrow stile pushpad style rim device. Crossbar rim panic devices include the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar, a wide stile exit only device. CRL Jackson also offers the 1095P paddle version and the 1295 non-handed push pad for 1-3/4 inch doors.
