Detex 4014DN-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex 4014DN be used on a pair of doors?
Yes, on a pair with a mullion. As a rim device the latch throws into a strike on the frame or mullion, so double door openings need a removable mullion between the leaves. Detex covers narrow stile single doors and double doors with mullions with this device. For a pair with no mullion, you need vertical rod or concealed rod hardware rather than a rim device.
2) What do I have to specify when I order the Detex Advantex 4014DN?
Four choices are required up front: dogging (hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging), handing (right hand reverse or left hand reverse), strike type (99 surface or 98 semi-mortise), and device length (36 inch or 48 inch). You also pick a rating (non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated), a finish, and an electrified option if you need one.
3) Does the 4014DN keep the outside lever unlocked at all times?
Yes. The 4014DN is the lever always active function, meaning the outside lever retracts the latch and the door is not locked from the pull side. If you need the outside trim to be key controlled or locked off, that's a different function, not this model.
4) Can I get the Detex Advantex 40 Series rim device fire rated and hurricane rated on the same opening?
Yes. The 40 Series rim device is offered non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated, so a coastal opening that also needs a labeled fire door is covered by one device. Note that fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged down, so pair a fire rated build with the less/no dogging option.
5) What electrified options can I get on the Advantex 40 Series rim device?
Five choices: delayed egress, electric dogging, hardwired electric alarm, request to exit (signal) switch, or none. Delayed egress suits a controlled perimeter exit, electric dogging lets access control free the push pad during business hours, and request to exit sends a signal to the access control panel when someone pushes the bar.
6) My door has a wide stile. Is the Detex 4014DN still the right device?
No, it's the wrong pick. The 4014DN is a narrow stile device, sized for the slim vertical rail on aluminum storefront leaves. On a wide stile hollow metal door you want a wide stile rim device such as the Von Duprin 22 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, or the TownSteel ED9700, all Grade 1 wide stile rim devices.
7) I need a fire-rated narrow stile rim exit device - what are my options besides the Detex Advantex 40 Series?
The Detex Advantex 4014DN can be ordered fire rated, hurricane rated, or both. If you are cross-shopping, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. Other fire-rated rim devices include the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated Grade 1 device, the Arrow FS1250 32 inch fire rated device, the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated device, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch. Of those, only the Adams Rite 3700 is listed as narrow stile.
8) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex 4014DN from another manufacturer?
For a narrow stile aluminum or hollow metal door needing a Grade 1 rim device, the closest peers are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in 36 inch, the TownSteel ED8900 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, and the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. All three share the Detex 4014DN's Grade 1 rating and narrow stile design. The difference is at the trim: the Detex 4014DN is supplied with a lever always active function, while the ED4200 is catalogued as exit only and accepts trim, so the outside lever is ordered separately.
9) Which rim exit devices look like substitutes for the Detex 4014DN but will not work on a narrow stile door?
Several Grade 1 rim devices are close on grade but wrong on stile. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch wide stile pushpad device, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED2200 are 36 inch wide stile devices, the BEST Precision 2101 is a 36 inch wide stile rim device, and the TownSteel ED9700 and ED1100 are 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 devices. The Detex 4014DN is built for narrow stile single and double doors with mullions, so a wide stile pushpad chassis will not land on that rail.
10) If the device is non-handed, why does the order ask for right or left hand reverse?
The Advantex 4014DN chassis itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but the outside lever trim is handed, so the order still calls for right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Trim can be swapped or re-keyed later without pulling the device off the door.
11) Which strike do I choose, the 99 surface or the 98 semi-mortise?
Pick by what the frame or mullion will accept. The 99 surface strike screws onto the face of the frame stop, so it's the easy retrofit where you don't want to cut the frame. The 98 semi-mortise sets into the frame for a flusher, less exposed installation, which is what most new aluminum storefront and mullion applications get specified with. Both are offered on the Advantex 40 Series rim device.
12) Is the Detex 4014DN Grade 1, and how does its cycle testing compare to what Grade 1 requires?
Grade 1, and Detex tests the Advantex beyond 1,000,000 cycles, which is twice the cycling required for Grade 1 UL testing. That's the spec to quote for schools, hospitals, and other high traffic institutional openings being standardized on one device.
13) If I need a fire rated narrow stile rim device and the Detex isn't available in the configuration I want, what else is there?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking and it is wood door compatible, which the Detex is not. For fire rated rim hardware on wide stile metal doors, the Marks USA M9900F and the Orca OED85 Series are fire rated exit only rim devices.
14) Which size Detex Advantex do I order for a 42 inch wide door?
The 36 inch device covers it. The Advantex 40 Series comes in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths and the device is field sizeable, so you cut to the leaf width rather than ordering an exact match. Use the 48 inch on wider leaves.
15) Can I rekey or change the outside trim on the Detex 4014DN without taking the device off the door?
Yes. Outside trims on the Advantex 40 Series are changed or re-keyed with the device still mounted, which is why it works well for property managers rekeying tenant spaces. The angled end cap also deflects cart and door-stop damage away from the device itself.
16) Is there a lower-cost alternative if Grade 1 super-heavy-duty is more than the opening needs?
If the opening does not need a Grade 1 device, the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch rim device and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device are both heavy duty with a Grade 2 chassis, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device. All are non-fire-rated and not wood door compatible. Be aware these are wide stile or standard bar devices rather than narrow stile, so they will not fit the narrow aluminum stile the Detex 4014DN is built for.
17) What should I use instead of the Detex 4014DN if the door does not need outside lever trim at all?
The Detex 4014DN carries a lever always active function for outside entry. If the opening is egress only, narrow stile exit-only devices include the BEST 2401 Series non-handed narrow stile rim device, the Falcon 1590EO 42 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device, the Falcon 1790EO 42 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device, and the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device. The Marks USA M8800 is also a 36 inch narrow stile exit only device.
18) How does the Detex 4014DN compare to a Dormakaba or Stanley QED200 narrow stile device?
The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device supplied as a 36 inch device with a 7 foot rod, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy-duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging. The Detex 4014DN is likewise Grade 1 and narrow stile, and offers hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging as an ordering choice, plus electrified options including delayed egress, electric dogging, request to exit switch, and hardwired electric alarm.
19) I need an electrified exit device for access control - how does the Detex 4014DN compare to SDC or Dormakaba electrified options?
The Detex 4014DN can be ordered with delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, or a request to exit signal switch built into the device. Alternatives include the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile, the SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar, and the Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in an 08-classroom function. The two SDC bars are listed for narrow or wide stile, while the S6136 is wide stile.
20) The Detex 4014DN comes in 36 and 48 inch - what if I need a shorter device for a narrow door?
The Detex Advantex 4014DN is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. For a narrower leaf, the Adams Rite 3700 Series and 8700 Series narrow stile rim devices are both catalogued at 30 inches, as is the Adams Rite 8800 Series. The Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging.
21) Is a Sargent 8504 nightlatch a substitute for the Detex 4014DN lever always active device?
Not functionally. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with a night latch function, meaning the outside trim is keyed for entry rather than free. The Detex 4014DN is supplied lever always active, so the outside lever retracts the latch without a key. Both are narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices, so the door prep family is comparable, but the outside operation is not the same.
22) Can I use a concealed vertical rod device instead of the Detex 4014DN rim device?
A concealed vertical rod device is a different door prep, not a drop-in swap for a rim device. If the specification calls for concealed rods, the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device and the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad. The Detex 4014DN latches at a surface 99 strike or semi-mortise 98 strike in the frame head or mullion instead.
23) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 40 Series come in for matching other doors in a 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. Exposed surfaces are finished over stainless steel using a PVD process, so the plated finishes hold up better than lacquered brass on an exterior door. 628 and 695 are the usual matches for aluminum storefront.
24) How hard is the Detex Advantex to lay out on the door, and are templates available?
Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which is what makes the layout repeatable if you're installing across a lot of openings. Full door prep templates, installation instructions, and a parts list are published by Detex for the Advantex 40 Series.
25) What kind of latch does the Detex Advantex 40 Series rim device use?
A stainless steel deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt. The deadlocking feature resists the latch being pushed back with a shim or card once the door is closed, which matters on an exterior perimeter opening.
