Detex 4003WS-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 4003WS work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what it is built for. The 4003WS is a narrow stile rim device for single doors and for pairs of doors used with a mullion. It is field sizeable and non-handed in the base device, so it adapts to the door width within the size offered.
2) How do I latch a pair of doors with the Detex Advantex 40 Series rim device?
A rim device latches into a strike at the frame or mullion, so on a pair you need a mullion between the two leaves. The 4003WS is specified for narrow stile single doors and for double doors with mullions. If you cannot use a center mullion, a rim device is the wrong type, and a vertical rod device is what latches at the head and sill instead, for example the Hager 4601 Series narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
3) What does the Key Retracts Latch cylinder trim function do on the Detex 4003WS?
Key Retracts Latch means outside entry is by a key in a cylinder trim: turning the key pulls the Pullman latch back so the door can be pulled open from the outside. Push the pad from inside and it is free egress at all times. It is the common function for a back door or storefront entry where staff key in and the public exits.
4) Which strike do I order with the Detex 4003WS, surface or semi-mortise?
Both are offered and the choice is driven by the frame. The 99 surface strike mounts on the face of the frame or mullion and is the easier retrofit on existing openings. The 98 semi-mortise strike sets into the frame for a flatter, less obtrusive look but needs the frame prepped. Strike selection is required when ordering.
5) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Advantex 4003WS?
Yes. Even though the device chassis is non-handed, the order requires either Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Stand outside the door: if it swings toward you and is hinged on the right it is right hand reverse, hinged on the left it is left hand reverse.
6) Can I hold the Detex 4003WS unlatched during business hours?
Yes, with dogging. Hex dogging uses an Allen key to hold the pushpad depressed and the latch retracted, which turns the door into a push-pull opening during the day. Cylinder dogging does the same but with a keyed cylinder, which is what most property managers want when staff should not be carrying a hex key. Less/No dogging is also offered, and it is what you must use on a fire rated opening, since fire doors cannot be held unlatched.
7) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex Advantex 40 Series rim device?
Fire Rated is one of the rating options on the 4003WS, along with Hurricane Rated, Hurricane and Fire Rated, and Non-Rated. Pick Fire Rated for a labeled opening, and Hurricane and Fire Rated where a coastal wind-borne debris opening also carries a fire label. Order the fire version without mechanical dogging.
8) Can the Detex Advantex 4003WS be tied into an access control or alarm system?
Yes. Electrified options include Electric Dogging for scheduled unlatching from the access control panel, a Request To Exit signal switch to shunt an alarm or report door use, a Hardwired Electric Alarm for a local exit alarm, and Delayed Egress where code permits a timed hold on egress. None is also available if you want a purely mechanical device.
9) The Detex Advantex 4003WS will not work on my wood door - what narrow stile rim device will?
The Detex Advantex 4003WS is not wood door compatible. Among narrow stile rim devices that are, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a 30 inch fire-rated narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking listed as wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series is the non-fire-rated 30 inch narrow stile equivalent, also wood door compatible. Both are Grade 1, matching the Detex grade.
10) My door has a wide stile - what should I use instead of the Detex Advantex 4003WS?
The 4003WS is built for narrow stile single and double doors with mullions, so a wide stile opening calls for a wide stile chassis. Grade 1 wide stile rim options include the Von Duprin 22 Series at 36 inches non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches which accepts trim, the DORMA 9300 Series at 48 inches for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches heavy duty.
11) What are the closest Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device alternatives to the Detex Advantex 4003WS?
The Detex Advantex 4003WS is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device. Grade 1 narrow stile rim peers include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, which is Grade 1 narrow stile and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors; the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 narrow stile heavy duty; and the Falcon 19-R, Grade 1 narrow stile exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex is field sizeable and non-handed with a stainless steel deadlocking Pullman latch, and the 4003WS carries key retracts latch cylinder trim rather than being exit only.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Detex Advantex 4003WS but is not a rim exit device?
Several devices sit next to the 4003WS but are a different type. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, which requires top and bottom rod prep rather than the rim strike the 4003WS uses. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release and the SDC PSB560 is a pressure sense bar, both for narrow or wide stile - they signal a lock rather than carrying a latch bolt. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The 4003WS latches mechanically with a stainless steel deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt.
13) I need a fire rated rim exit device - does the Detex 4003WS cover that, and what else does?
Yes, the Detex Advantex 4003WS is offered in Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, Hurricane and Fire Rated, and Non-Rated configurations, so one part family covers a fire opening. Fire rated rim peers include the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire-rated narrow stile device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch, the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches, and the Orca OED85 at 36 inches.
14) I need electrified exit hardware - does the Detex 4003WS do that or do I need a different device?
The Detex Advantex 4003WS is offered with electrified options including delayed egress, electric dogging, hardwired electric alarm, and a request to exit signal switch, so the electrification is built into the same narrow stile device. Electrified alternatives in other lines include the Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function, the SDC Spectra S6136 electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Sargent 12-8810 fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and MELR.
15) What door widths does the Detex 4003WS cover?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch, and the device is field sizeable, so the bar is trimmed to suit the actual door width during installation. Use the 36 inch for standard single leaves and the 48 inch for wider openings.
16) Is the Detex Advantex 40 Series tough enough for a high abuse door like a school or transit entrance?
It is built for that. The 4003WS is Grade 1 and tested beyond 1,000,000 cycles, twice the cycling Grade 1 UL testing requires. The latch is a stainless steel deadlocking Pullman type, exposed surfaces are PVD finished over stainless steel, and the angled end cap deflects impact away from the device.
17) What is a good alternative to the Detex Advantex 4003WS if I just need a basic narrow stile rim device?
Several narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices cover a simpler exit-only or trim-accepting need: the Corbin Russwin ED4200 in 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors (exit only or accepts trim), the TownSteel ED3700 or ED8900 in 36 inch, the Falcon 19-R at 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the BEST Precision 2401, which is non-handed and exit only. None of those is listed as wood door compatible, same as the Detex. Where you specifically need keyed outside entry, stay with a device that accepts cylinder trim like the ED4200.
18) I only need exit only panic hardware, not the key retracts latch trim on the Detex 4003WS - what is simpler?
The 4003WS is configured as key retracts latch cylinder trim, meaning outside key access. If the opening needs no outside operation, exit only narrow stile rim devices include the BEST Precision 2401, narrow stile exit only and non-handed; the Falcon 1590EO, Grade 1 narrow stile exit only at 42 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Falcon 1790EO, Grade 1 narrow stile exit only at 42 inches; and the Marks USA M8800, a 36 inch narrow stile exit only device.
19) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 a direct swap for the Detex Advantex 4003WS?
No. The Detex Advantex 4003WS is Grade 1 and narrow stile. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim device with touch bar carrying a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch rim device listed as Grade 2 heavy duty. If the specification calls for Grade 1 narrow stile, the Cal-Royal devices are a different classification and stile family.
20) How does the Detex Advantex 4003WS compare to the Dormakaba QED200 or Stanley QED211 for narrow stile heavy duty use?
All three are Grade 1. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device supplied as a 36 inch device with a 7 ft rod, and the Stanley Security QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging. The Detex Advantex 4003WS comes in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, offers hex dogging, cylinder dogging or less dogging, and is tested beyond 1,000,000 cycles with PVD finishes over stainless steel.
21) I need a night latch function on a narrow stile rim device instead of key retracts latch - what is available?
The Detex Advantex 4003WS is configured as key retracts latch cylinder trim. For a night latch instead, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with night latch function. Both are narrow stile and Grade 1, so the difference is how the outside key behaves at the trim.
22) Is the Adams Rite 8800 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 4003WS?
They are close in class but not identical in mechanism. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, non-wood-door, listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite EX88 is also a Grade 1 narrow stile interlocking rim device. The Detex Advantex 4003WS uses a stainless steel deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt with a 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike, so verify frame strike prep before swapping either direction.
23) What finishes can I get to match the other storefront doors in my building?
Ten finishes are offered on the 4003WS: 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. 628 and 695 are the usual matches for clear and dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront.
24) Do I need paper templates to install the Detex Advantex 40 Series?
No. The Advantex 40 Series ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator that replaces paper templates, which is what keeps the device and strike in alignment on a narrow stile. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list PDF for the Advantex 10/40 devices.
25) Is the Detex 4003WS approved for residential use?
It is a commercial device. The 4003WS is classified for commercial applications, typically office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential common doors and government buildings, not for single-family residential hardware.
