Detex 50 HD 630 96 48X84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex 50 Advantex vertical rod device latch a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Detex 50 Advantex surface vertical rod device latches at the header and the threshold, so a pair of narrow stile doors is secured without a center mullion. The top latch is deadlocking stainless steel and the bottom is a hardened steel drop bolt landing in a dust proof strike. If your opening has a mullion, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) What door heights can the Detex 50 Advantex 48 inch device be ordered for?
Rod lengths are ordered by door height in three options: 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch. Pick the one matching your leaf height rather than cutting to fit blind; the device is also field sizeable if trimming is needed on site.
3) Can I hold the Detex 50 Advantex doors in a push-pull state during business hours?
Yes, if you order it with dogging. Three choices exist: 1/8 turn hex dogging, cylinder dogging for keyed control, or less dogging where a facility does not want the latch held retracted. Cylinder dogging is the usual pick for schools and retail where staff should not be able to dog the door with a common hex key.
4) Can you get into the building from outside with this Detex exit device, or is it exit only?
Outside trim is an ordering choice. Options are exit only with no outside trim, a 01CN blank plate, 03CN night latch trim for key retraction of the latch, or 08DN classroom lever trim for keyed lever entry. Many of the comparable vertical rod devices, including the Cal-Royal 9860 and the Marks USA M9900VR, are exit only with no trim option at all.
5) My opening is a 36 inch leaf, not 48 inch. What vertical rod device should I look at?
The Detex 50 Advantex covered here is sized for a 48 inch door. For a 36 inch leaf, Grade 1 vertical rod options include the Delaney 9100 Series and 8100 Series (both listed for 36 x 84 doors), the Imperial USA ED-VR531 at 36 inches, and the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 x 84. The Imperial and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT are wide stile devices, so they will not suit a narrow stile aluminum door.
6) What is a fire rated alternative to the Detex 50 Advantex 48 inch surface vertical rod exit device?
The Detex 50 Advantex surface vertical rod device is not fire rated as a base configuration, though a hurricane and fire rated option (HF) can be specified. If the opening needs a fire rated vertical rod device out of the box, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers a 48 inch by 84 inch door as a fire rated exit only device, and the Delaney F9100 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in aluminum finish. On a 36 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated, non-handed vertical rod device.
7) Which 48 inch vertical rod exit devices can substitute for the Detex 50 Advantex on a pair of doors?
For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered in a 48 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device as exit only, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers 48 inch by 84 inch as a fire rated exit only device. The Detex 50 Advantex differs in that it is a narrow stile, super-heavy-duty Grade 1 device with handing specified as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, and it can be ordered with outside trim such as 03CN night latch or 08DN classroom lever rather than exit only.
8) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct replacement for the Detex 50 Advantex vertical rod device?
They are not equivalent on rating or configurability. The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device is Grade 2, heavy duty, and exit only with ADA compliance. The Detex 50 Advantex is Grade 1 and super-heavy-duty, and can be ordered with outside trim including a blank plate, night latch, or classroom lever instead of exit only. Use the 9860 only where a Grade 2 exit only device satisfies the specification.
9) Do I have to order the Detex 50 Advantex handed for my door?
Handing is specified on the order, but it is not a one way commitment. The 50 Advantex is field reversible, so a locksmith can change the hand on site if the device arrives set opposite to the opening.
10) Is this Detex device heavy duty enough for a high abuse school or warehouse exit?
It is rated Grade 1 and classed super-heavy-duty, which is a step above the heavy duty Cal-Royal 9860 (Grade 2) in the same product type. Exposed surfaces are stainless steel with a PVD finish, rod covers are stainless as standard, and the angled end cap deflects impact away from the device. That combination is aimed at high-use, high-abuse commercial traffic.
11) Does the Detex 50 Advantex meet ADA requirements at the bottom rod?
The device ships with an ADA ramped bottom bolt cover plus top and bottom rod covers, so the bottom bolt does not present a trip or catch point across the threshold.
12) What is a Grade 1 alternative if I need a fire rated vertical rod device instead?
For a fire rated vertical rod device, the Delaney F9100 Series is Grade 1 and fire rated for a 36 x 84 inch door, and Marks USA offers fire rated vertical rod devices including the M9900FVR at 36 x 84 and the M9900F-VR at 48 x 84. Note those are exit only devices, so if you also need keyed outside entry the trim options change the picture.
13) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod exit device if I do not need electrified or hurricane options?
The Detex 50 Advantex carries electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit switch, EE delayed egress, and ER EX electric latch retraction, plus hurricane and hurricane/fire ratings. For a plain mechanical Grade 1 vertical rod device on a 36 inch by 84 inch door, the Delaney 8100 Series and the Delaney 9100 Series in stainless steel finish are both Grade 1 non-fire-rated vertical rod devices, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 exit only device in the ED-500 Series.
14) If I need matching finishes across a set of exit devices, how does the Detex 50 Advantex compare to the alternatives?
The Detex 50 Advantex is offered in 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, with exposed surfaces finished over stainless steel using a PVD coating. Among the alternatives, the Delaney 9100 Series vertical rod device is offered in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 Series in an aluminum finish, so finish matching across a facility is narrower with those.
15) What finishes does the Detex 50 Advantex exit device come in to match other hardware in my building?
Eight finishes are offered: 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. All are applied over stainless steel with a PVD coating process, so they hold up better than plated finishes on a high traffic exit.
16) Is this Detex exit device suitable for an exterior door exposed to weather?
The 50 Advantex is not a weatherized device, so for a fully exposed opening look at a device built for that duty. Its stainless steel construction and PVD finish do give it corrosion resistance on typical commercial exterior egress doors under an overhang.
17) How does the Detex 50 install compared to a standard vertical rod device that uses paper templates?
Detex includes a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which sets the device and the strikes off the same fixture. Detex also publishes door prep templates, installation instructions and a parts list for the Advantex 20/50 devices if you are laying out the prep ahead of the crew.
