Detex 4003CN-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex 4003CN be used on a pair of doors?
Yes, it's made for narrow stile single doors and for double doors used with a mullion. As a rim device it latches into a strike, so on a pair you need a removable mullion to give the inactive leaf something to strike into. If you want to secure a pair with no mullion and a clear opening, you need a vertical rod or concealed vertical rod device instead, not a rim device.
2) What does the Key Retracts Latch pull trim function actually do on the Detex 4003CN?
Outside, the pull trim has a cylinder: turning the key retracts the latch so you can pull the door open. The door stays locked from outside otherwise, and free egress from the inside through the push bar is never affected. It's the common function for a back door or service entrance where staff need keyed entry but the opening still has to meet panic egress.
3) Do I have to specify handing for the Detex Advantex 40 Series?
The device itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but the order does require a handing selection, either Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, because the keyed pull trim and strike are handed. Stand outside the door: if it swings toward you and the hinges are on the right it's right hand reverse, on the left it's left hand reverse. Exterior exit doors are almost always one of these two.
4) Can I hold the Detex Advantex 40 Series push bar dogged down during business hours?
Yes, if you order it with dogging. Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard low-cost option, cylinder dogging lets you dog the bar with a keyed cylinder so it's controlled by your key system, and less/no dogging is what you order for a fire rated opening, since a fire door cannot be held in a dogged, unlatched condition. There is also an electric dogging option if you want to dog and undog the device from a time clock or access control panel.
5) Can I get the Detex 4003CN with delayed egress or a request-to-exit signal?
Yes. The electrified options are Delayed Egress, Electric Dogging, Hardwired Electric Alarm, and Request To Exit (Signal) Switch, or None for a purely mechanical device. Delayed egress is what you specify for loss prevention or wander management on a controlled door, the RX switch sends a dry contact to your access panel when the bar is pushed, and the hardwired alarm sounds locally at the door.
6) I need a narrow stile rim exit device on a wood door - the Detex 4003CN will not work, what will?
Correct, the Detex Advantex 4003CN is not wood door compatible. Among narrow stile rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch are both Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices listed as wood door compatible. The 3700 Series is fire rated and the 8700 Series is not, so pick based on whether the opening is part of a rated assembly.
7) Which fire rated rim exit devices can I use instead of the Detex Advantex 4003CN?
The Detex Advantex 4003CN can be configured fire rated, hurricane rated, both, or non-rated. If you are cross-shopping fire rated rim devices from other brands, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch are both Grade 1 and fire rated. The Marks USA M9900F comes fire rated in 36 inch and 48 inch, the Orca OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device. Of those, only the Adams Rite 3700 is a narrow stile device, so it is the closest match if the 4003CN was specified for a narrow aluminum stile.
8) I need an electrified exit device - does the Detex 4003CN cover that or should I look at a dedicated electrified model?
The Detex Advantex 4003CN is offered with electrified options including delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, and a request to exit signal switch, so a single device covers most access control needs. Dedicated electrified alternatives include the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim, a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function, and the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The SDC is a wide stile device, so it is not a drop-in where a narrow stile was specified.
9) Are the SDC switch bars a substitute for the Detex Advantex 4003CN?
No. The Detex Advantex 4003CN is a Grade 1 mechanical rim exit device with a deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt that latches the door on its own. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar. Both fit narrow or wide stile doors but they signal a separate locking device rather than carrying a latch, so they only work on an opening secured by a mag lock or similar. Likewise the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar rather than a latching rim device.
10) Which strike should I order with the Detex 4003CN, the 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise?
Both are offered and the choice depends on your frame. The 99 surface strike mounts to the face of the frame stop and is the easier retrofit, since it needs no cutting. The 98 semi-mortise is let into the frame for a cleaner look and less projection into the opening, which is what you want on a tight aluminum frame or where the strike would otherwise foul a mullion or closer arm.
11) Is the Detex Advantex 40 Series tough enough for a high abuse door like a school or transit entrance?
That's exactly what it's built for. Grade 1 certified and tested past 1,000,000 cycles, which is twice the cycling Grade 1 UL testing requires. The latch is a stainless steel deadlocking Pullman type, and every exposed surface is PVD finished over stainless steel, so it holds up on exterior openings where salt air or wash-down would chew through a plated device.
12) How does the Detex Advantex 40 Series compare to other narrow stile rim devices like the TownSteel ED8900 or Corbin Russwin ED4200?
All three are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices for non-wood doors. The differences are in what you can order on them. The Advantex 40 Series carries fire and hurricane rating options, factory electrified options including delayed egress and RX, and a keyed pull trim that retracts the latch. The TownSteel ED8900 is a heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, non fire rated. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only but accepts trim, also non fire rated. If you need a hurricane rated or delayed egress narrow stile opening, the Advantex is the one of the three that covers it.
13) Is a rim device like the Detex 4003CN the right choice, or should I be looking at a concealed vertical rod?
A rim device is the simplest and cheapest to install and service: one strike on the frame stop, no rods, and on the Advantex 40 Series minimal door prep. It's the right call for a single narrow stile door, or a pair with a removable mullion. Go to a concealed vertical rod instead when you need a clean bar with nothing projecting into the frame or a mullion-less pair, for example the Hager 4601 Series narrow stile concealed vertical rod device. Concealed rods cost more to install and need the door prepped for them.
14) The door is a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal leaf - is there a Grade 1 rim device better suited than the narrow stile Detex 4003CN?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 4003CN is built for narrow stile doors. For a wide stile leaf, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inch that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED9700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device at 36 inch. If you need trim rather than exit only, the ED5200 is the one of those three catalogued as accepting trim.
15) Is there a simpler exit only device I can use where I do not need the key retracts latch trim of the Detex 4003CN?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 4003CN is supplied with key retracts latch pull trim, which adds keyed outside access. If the opening only needs egress with no outside trim, the Marks USA M8800 is a 36 inch narrow stile exit only rim device, the BEST 2401 Series is a narrow stile exit only non-handed rim device, and the Falcon 1590EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device at 42 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three drop the outside trim entirely, so plan for a separate means of entry.
16) What is the Grade 2 alternative to the Detex Advantex 4003CN and what changes?
The Detex Advantex 4003CN is Grade 1 certified and tested beyond 1,000,000 cycles. If the project allows Grade 2, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch heavy duty rim device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch Grade 2 heavy duty rim device with a push bar. Both are for non-wood doors and neither is fire rated, so they do not cover a rated opening or a narrow aluminum stile the way the 4003CN does.
17) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Detex 4003CN rim exit device?
They solve different openings. The Detex Advantex 4003CN is a rim device that latches into a surface or semi-mortise strike on the frame or mullion. A concealed vertical rod device latches top and bottom into the head and threshold instead, which suits pairs without a mullion. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device at 36 inch, and the Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad at 36 inch. If your pair already has a removable mullion, the 4003CN rim device is the simpler prep.
18) What narrow stile device should I look at if I want a nightlatch function instead of the Detex 4003CN key retracts latch pull trim?
The Detex Advantex 4003CN uses key retracts latch pull trim, where the key pulls the latch back for entry. If you want a catalogued nightlatch, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in nightlatch function for non-wood doors. Both give keyed outside access on a narrow stile leaf while keeping free panic egress from the inside.
19) Which other Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices offer hex key dogging like the Detex 4003CN?
The Detex Advantex 4003CN can be ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Comparable Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile devices with hex key dogging include the Stanley Security QED200 Series and the Design Hardware 1000R at 33 inch, a heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging for non-wood doors. The Dormakaba QED200 is also a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device at 36 inch. Note that on a fire rated opening, dogging is not permitted regardless of brand.
20) I need a 48 inch rim exit device - what are the options besides the Detex Advantex 4003CN?
The Detex Advantex 4003CN comes in 36 inch and 48 inch. Other 48 inch rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 crossbar wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba 9300 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated exit only device, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar wide stile device. All four are wide stile or crossbar designs, so the 4003CN remains the narrow stile choice at that width.
21) What finishes can I get to match the other exit doors in my building?
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. On aluminum storefront, 628 and 695 are the usual matches to the frame. The finishes are applied by PVD over stainless steel rather than plated brass.
22) Do I still need a paper template to prep the door for the Detex Advantex 40 Series?
No. The 40 Series uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator that replaces the paper template, so you mark the device holes and the frame strike off the hardware itself and the two line up. Detex also publishes door prep templates, installation instructions and a parts list if your shop prefers to prep the leaf on the bench before it goes up.
