Detex 50 HD 630 96 36X84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 50 Advantex exit device work on a pair of narrow stile aluminum doors with no mullion?
That is exactly the opening it is built for. The Detex 50 Advantex is a surface vertical rod device for 36 inch narrow stile double doors without a mullion. Because it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center post, each leaf secures on its own and the pair stays clear for full-width egress. If your opening has a removable mullion already in place, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) Is the Detex 50 Advantex handed, and can I flip it in the field if I get the wrong hand?
It is a handed device, but field reversible, so an installer can change the hand on site rather than sending it back. Handing is still specified at order, so get it right if you can and treat reversibility as the safety net on a mixed set of openings.
3) Can I get outside trim with the Detex 50 Advantex, or is it exit only?
Both. Order it exit only with no outside trim, or with one of three outside trims: 01CN blank plate, 03CN night latch trim, or 08DN classroom lever trim. Pick the 08DN lever if staff need free entry from outside with a key-controlled lock, the 03CN night latch if entry should be by key only, and the 01CN blank plate when the outside face must be smooth and non-operable.
4) Is there a Grade 1 vertical rod exit device for a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door instead of a narrow stile door?
The Detex 50 Advantex is built for narrow stile doors, so it will not suit a wide stile leaf. For wide stile openings the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series sized for a 3 foot door and listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for a 36 inch door in exit only configuration. Confirm stile width on the actual leaf before ordering either, since the mounting footprint differs from the narrow stile Detex.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Detex 50 Advantex 36 inch surface vertical rod exit device if I need a fire rated opening?
The Detex 50 Advantex carries a Grade 1 rating but is not itself fire rated in its base configuration, so for a fire labeled door pair look at the Delaney F9100 Series device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, which is Grade 1 and fire rated, or the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 inch by 84 inch fire rated vertical rod device, which is exit only and non-handed. Both cover the same 36 inch door width. The Detex 50 is a handed device with field reversible capability, so if you are standardizing handing across a fire and non-fire pair the non-handed Marks unit simplifies stocking.
6) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 vertical rod exit device a direct substitute for the Detex 50 Advantex?
They are not equivalent on duty rating. The Detex 50 Advantex is a Grade 1 super-heavy-duty device intended for high-use, high-abuse commercial openings, while the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device is Grade 2 heavy duty and exit only. If a specification calls for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal will not meet it. The 9860 is ADA compliant and non-fire-rated, so it can work on a lower traffic exit where Grade 2 is acceptable.
7) Do I need cylinder dogging or hex dogging on a Detex 50 Series exit device?
Three dogging choices are offered: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key and is the low-cost pick for a back-of-house door where only staff touch it. Cylinder dogging lets the device be held retracted with a keyed cylinder, which is what most property managers want on a storefront or retail entry so the door pushes free during business hours and relatches after. Less dogging is the choice when facility policy requires the latch to stay active at all times.
8) Is the Detex 50 Advantex tough enough for a high school or stadium exit that gets slammed all day?
That is the intended duty. The 50 Advantex is a Grade 1, super-heavy-duty commercial device built for high-use, high-abuse service, with a stainless steel deadlocking top latch, stainless rod covers and a hardened steel bottom drop bolt into a dust proof strike. Exposed surfaces are finished over stainless steel with a PVD coating, which is why it holds up on school, healthcare and municipal openings.
9) Will the bottom rod on this Detex device be a trip hazard or an ADA problem at the threshold?
The 50 Advantex includes an ADA ramped bottom bolt cover, so the floor-level hardware is ramped rather than a square obstruction in the path of travel. If you would rather have nothing at the sill at all, on a dirty floor or where carts roll through, specify the less bottom rod option and the device latches at the head only.
10) What is a lower cost alternative to the Detex 50 Advantex for a light traffic exit door?
If the opening is a back exit that sees a few dozen cycles a day, the Grade 1 features of the Advantex are more device than the job needs. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device in an exit only configuration with ADA compliance. Among Grade 1 options, the Delaney 8100 Series and the Delaney 9100 Series are both sized for a 36 x 84 inch door, the 9100 in a stainless steel finish. None of those are narrow stile devices, so confirm your stile before swapping.
11) What is a simpler alternative to the Detex 50 Advantex when the door only needs plain exit only hardware with no trim or electrified options?
The Detex 50 Advantex is configurable with outside trim options including blank plate, night latch and classroom lever trim, plus electrified options such as delayed egress and electric latch retraction. If none of that is needed, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device is an exit only, non-handed unit, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 exit only vertical rod device for a 36 inch door. Both are push-to-exit only, so any outside pull or keyed access would have to come from separate hardware.
12) I need a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 48 inch wide door leaf, not 36 inch. What should I order?
The Detex 50 Advantex configuration described here is built around a 36 inch door width, so a 48 inch leaf needs a different device. The Marks USA M9900VR is offered in a 48 inch by 84 inch exit only version, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR covers 48 inch by 84 inch in a fire rated exit only build. Both are vertical rod panic devices, so the door prep concept is the same as a surface vertical rod opening.
13) How do the Detex 50 Advantex finishes match existing storefront hardware?
Eight finishes are available: 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. For a typical aluminum storefront, 628 matches clear anodized and 693 matches dark bronze or black painted frames; 630 is the usual pick where the rest of the building is brushed stainless.
14) Does the Detex 50 come with a template, or do I need to order door prep separately?
No paper template needed. The 50 Advantex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that replaces paper templates, which is the main reason crews get the top latch and bottom bolt lined up on the first try. Detex also publishes installation instructions, a parts list and door prep templates for the 50 Series if the shop is machining doors ahead of delivery.
