Detex 40W HD 628 99 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is there an exit device that holds up on an exterior door exposed to rain and salt air?
That's the case the Advantex 40xW is assembled for. Components are selected to resist temperature, dust, driving rain and salt fog, with testing to UL 1034-34 Temperature Section 34, UL1034-54 Dust Section 54, MIL-STD 810F Method 506.4 driving rain and MIL-STD 810F Method 509.4 salt fog. The Pullman-type deadlocking latchbolt is stainless, the fasteners are 316 stainless, and exposed surfaces are PVD finished over stainless. Coastal exits, loading docks, and stair discharge doors with no canopy are the openings it's meant for.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex 40xW rim device?
Yes, handing is a required selection: Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Exterior egress doors swing out, which is why both choices are reverse bevel. The device chassis itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but the order still has to carry the hand so the trim and prep come out right.
3) What size Advantex 40xW do I need for a 3 foot door versus a 4 foot door?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch. Take the 36 inch for a standard 3-0 leaf and the 48 inch for a 4-0 leaf. The device is field sizeable, so the bar is trimmed to the actual leaf during install rather than ordered to an exact door width.
4) Can I get a Detex 40xW that's both fire rated and hurricane rated?
The rating is a required order choice with four options: Standard, F for fire rated, H for hurricane, and HF for hurricane and fire rated together. If the opening is a fire-rated exit in a coastal wind-borne debris zone, HF is the one that covers both. Note that dogging is not permitted on fire-rated exit hardware, so an F or HF order should be placed as less dogging.
5) How do I hold an exterior exit door unlocked during business hours with a Detex 40xW?
Dogging is how you do it, and it's an order choice: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex uses a 1/8 turn hex key and is the cheaper route on a back-of-house door. Cylinder dogging takes a key so only keyholders can dog the bar down, which is what most retail and school front entrances want. Less dogging is the correct pick on any fire-rated opening.
6) Can a Detex 40xW tie into an access control system or sound an alarm on the door?
Four electrified builds are offered on top of the mechanical device. EA is a hardwired local electric alarm on the bar. EX is a request-to-exit switch that signals the access control panel when someone pushes the bar. EE is delayed egress for a door you need to slow an exit through. ER EX combines electric latch retraction with a request-to-exit switch, which is the one to specify when a card reader or intercom needs to pull the latch remotely. Selecting None gives the straight mechanical device.
7) Will the Detex Advantex 40xW work on a pair of doors?
It works on a pair only with a mullion between the leaves. The 40xW is a rim device, so its latch throws into a strike on the frame or on a removable mullion, not into the head and threshold. Detex builds this series for narrow stile single and double doors with mullions. On a pair with no mullion you need a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4601 narrow stile concealed vertical rod.
8) The Advantex 40xW will not work on a wood door - what narrow stile rim exit device does?
The Advantex 40xW is not wood door compatible. Among narrow stile rim devices, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch are both Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices listed as wood door compatible, with starwheel interlocking. The 3700 is fire rated and the 8700 is not, so pick by whether the opening is in a fire rated assembly. Note the Adams Rite 8800 Series, despite sitting in the same family, is not wood door compatible and is listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
9) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex Advantex 40xW if the door is not weather exposed?
For an interior narrow stile opening, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the nearest match to the Advantex 40xW. Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices, and the ED4200 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors with an exit only or accepts trim function, so it covers the same aluminum and hollow metal stile widths. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are also Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches. What the 40xW adds is the weatherization package: stainless steel 316 fasteners, a stainless deadlocking Pullman latch, and UL 1034 temperature and dust plus MIL-STD 810F driving rain and salt fog testing. If the opening sits behind a vestibule or under deep cover, the peers cover the same stile; if it takes rain and salt spray directly, the 40xW is the one built for it.
10) Can I substitute a wide stile rim exit device like the Von Duprin 22 for a Detex 40xW?
No, not on the same door. The Advantex 40xW is a narrow stile device, built for stiles too slim to take a standard chassis. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and Dormakaba 8300 are likewise Grade 1 wide stile rim devices. A wide stile chassis needs more stile face than a narrow stile aluminum door provides. If the doors in question are hollow metal or wide stile aluminum, those wide stile devices are legitimate choices; if they are narrow stile storefront, stay with a narrow stile device such as the Falcon 19-R or the TownSteel ED8900.
11) What narrow stile fire rated rim exit device compares to the Detex Advantex 40xW F option?
The Advantex 40xW is offered in an F fire rated build and an HF hurricane and fire rated build. On the narrow stile side, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking and is wood door compatible. Broader fire rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 and 48 inch. The hurricane rated H and HF builds are particular to the 40xW; if the opening is in a wind borne debris zone, the fire rated peers do not carry that.
12) I need electrified egress on a narrow stile door - how does the Detex 40xW compare to SDC or Dormakaba electrified bars?
The Advantex 40xW takes its electrical options as part of the device: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit switch, EE delayed egress, or ER EX electric latch retraction with request to exit. Among peers, the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release fitted to narrow or wide stile, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology, also narrow or wide stile. The SDC S6136 is an electrified architectural rim device but on a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function. The SDC switch and sense bars release a separate electromagnetic lock rather than retracting a latch; the 40xW ER EX build retracts its own latch, so the two are wired into a door differently.
13) What should I use instead of the Detex 40xW if the pair of doors needs vertical rod hardware rather than a rim device?
The Advantex 40xW is a rim device, latching to a strike on the frame or mullion. For a pair without a mullion, a concealed vertical rod device latches top and bottom instead. The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, which keeps the narrow stile the 40xW is built for; the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad. Choosing vertical rod changes the door prep entirely, so confirm the doors are prepped for rods before ordering.
14) Do any comparable narrow stile rim devices come in a 48 inch size like the Detex 40xW?
The Advantex 40xW is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch. Most of the narrow stile peers are shorter: the Corbin Russwin ED4200, TownSteel ED3700, TownSteel ED8900, and Falcon 19-R are all 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 devices, and the Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 are 30 inch. On the 48 inch side the options move to wide stile - the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch exit only, the Dormakaba 9300 48 inch wide stile exit only for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 Grade 1 reversible rim device for 48 inch minimum door width. For a wide narrow stile leaf, the 48 inch 40xW is the one that keeps both the width and the narrow stile.
15) What outside trim options are available on the Detex Advantex 40xW?
Five choices, and they decide how the door behaves from outside. Exit only and the 01CN blank plate give no outside entry at all, a pure egress door. 03CN night latch trim is a key-retracts-latch pull, so a keyholder gets in and everyone else stays out. 08DN classroom lever lets a key lock or unlock the outside lever, so the door can be left in a passage state. 09DN storeroom lever keeps the outside lever always locked with the key retracting the latch for entry.
16) Is the Detex 40xW heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance that gets abused?
It's Grade 1 and carries an extra heavy duty rating, a step above the heavy duty devices in the category, and it's a commercial-only product. For a school, transit, or stadium exit that takes constant use, that plus the stainless chassis is the reason to pick it over a Grade 2 device like the Cal-Royal 5000 or 5500.
17) Does installing the Detex Advantex 40xW need a paper template?
No. The 40xW ships with Detex's patented mounting plate and strike locator, which replaces the paper template and locates the strike off the device itself. That's the piece that saves time on a retrofit where the frame is already up and a misplaced strike means the latch won't hold. Detex also publishes door prep templates, install instructions, and a parts list for the Advantex 40 Series.
18) What's the difference between the Detex 40xW and an electrified exit bar like the SDC or Securitron units?
The 40xW is a mechanical latching rim device first, with electrification added as an option. The SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar and the SDC SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar are switch bars that release an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing their own latch, so they need a maglock to secure the door. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch doors. If you want the door mechanically latched with no power applied, the 40xW is the type to use.
19) I only need a plain exit only panic bar on a narrow stile door - is there something simpler than the Detex 40xW?
Yes. The Advantex 40xW is configured with handing, dogging, outside trim from blank plate through storeroom lever, and electrified options, which is more device than a plain push-to-exit opening needs. The Falcon 1590EO and Falcon 1790EO are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices in exit only function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile rim device in exit only. The Marks USA M8800 is a 36 inch narrow stile exit only device with panic protector end caps. None of those carry the 40xW weatherization testing, so keep them on protected openings.
20) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 an equivalent replacement for a Detex Advantex 40xW?
Not on grade or stile. The Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch touch bar and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar rim devices are heavy duty with a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal A9800 and A9820 exit only rim devices are also listed Grade 2 heavy duty. The Advantex 40xW is Grade 1 extra heavy duty and narrow stile. If a specification calls for Grade 1 on a narrow stile door, the Cal-Royal units do not answer it; look instead at the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED3700, both Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices.
21) Which narrow stile device gives me night latch function like the Detex 40xW 03CN trim?
The Advantex 40xW offers 03CN night latch trim alongside 01CN blank plate, 08DN classroom lever, and 09DN storeroom lever. If night latch is the function you need and the opening is interior, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in night latch function. The Sargent 8504 is not wood door compatible, same as the 40xW. For classroom function on a narrow opening the trim options on the 40xW cover it directly, since 08DN is the classroom lever build.
22) Is a crossbar panic device an acceptable substitute for the Detex Advantex 40xW?
They are different bar styles and different stiles. The Advantex 40xW is a narrow stile push pad device. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device is a wide stile exit only device, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device at 48 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors. A crossbar projects further from the door face than a push pad, which matters where the door swings into a corridor or against a wall. On a narrow stile aluminum door neither crossbar device fits the stile; the 40xW or another narrow stile device is the fit there.
23) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 40xW come in to match the other doors on my building?
Eight finishes, all PVD applied over stainless steel: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 630 brushed stainless steel, and 693 black painted. On a storefront, 628 matches clear anodized aluminum and 630 matches stainless trim. PVD over stainless is what keeps the finish from chalking on a weather-exposed door where plated brass would.
