Detex 5001DN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 50/51 vertical rod device work on a pair of aluminum storefront doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what the Advantex 5001DN/5101DN is built for. It is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center strike, which means a pair of narrow stile doors can be secured without a removable mullion. If your doors have a wide stile, look at a wide stile device instead, such as the Von Duprin 8827 or the Imperial USA ED-VR531.
2) Do I have to order the Detex 5001DN handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
You pick a hand when you order, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, but the device is field reversible, so a unit that arrives the wrong way around can be changed on site without buying a second device.
3) Can I get the Advantex 50 Series with only a top rod instead of top and bottom?
Yes. The rod configuration is a choice on the order: top and bottom rod, or top rod only. Top rod only is the common pick where a bottom rod would be exposed to dirt, snow, or heavy traffic at the threshold. With the top and bottom version you get a hardened steel bottom drop bolt with a dust proof strike and an ADA compliant ramped bottom bolt cover.
4) What door heights and widths does the Detex 50/51 Series cover, and what do I order for a 10 foot door?
Device width is 36 inch or 48 inch, and the rod length is set by the door height option: 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch. A 10 foot leaf takes the 120 inch option, so you do not need to source extension rods separately.
5) What dogging choices are there on the Detex 50/51, and which should I pick for a retail entrance?
Three choices: 1/8 turn hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging needs the hex key, so it suits a back of house door where only staff touch it. Cylinder dogging lets a keyed cylinder hold the device dogged, which is the usual pick for a retail front door that gets dogged open during business hours. Choose less/no dogging on any fire rated opening.
6) Does this Detex exit device come with outside trim or a lever to get back in?
No. The 5001DN/5101DN ships with a blank escutcheon, which is a solid outside plate with no cylinder and no lever, so the door is exit only from the inside. If you need keyed re-entry or a lever from outside, you need a different trim function from the Advantex range, not this one.
7) What are the alternatives to the Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN on a fire rated pair of doors?
The Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN is orderable in a Fire Rated configuration, as well as Hurricane and Hurricane plus Fire Rated. For fire rated openings elsewhere, the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR covers 36 inch by 84 inch fire rated exit only, with the MARM9900F-VR at 48 inch by 84 inch. Fire rated vertical rod devices are supplied without mechanical dogging, so order the Detex less dogging when the door is fire rated.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device to the Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN for a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door?
The Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN is built for narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile opening the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the closer match. It is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in a 3 ft width for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches, exit only. Confirm the stile width of the door leaf before choosing, because the Detex narrow stile chassis and the wide stile chassis do not share a door prep.
9) Is there a simpler vertical rod exit device than the Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN for a door that only needs plain exit-only egress?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN is configurable with dogging choices and electrified options such as delayed egress, request-to-exit, and hardwired alarm. If the opening only needs push-to-exit with no trim and no electrification, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch exit only vertical rod panic device and the M9900VR 48 inch by 84 inch covers the wider leaf. The Cal-Royal 9860 is another exit only surface vertical rod device, rated Grade 2 heavy duty. Note the Marks devices are non-handed while the Detex is handed and field reversible.
10) What electrified options can I add to the Advantex 50/51 Series, and which one gives a delayed egress door?
Four electrified options plus None. EA is a hardwired electric alarm, EB is an electric alarm with battery, EX is a request to exit signal switch for tying into an access control panel, and EE is delayed egress. Pick EE for the delayed egress application. EB is the one to use where you want a local alarm without pulling power to the door.
11) Is the Detex 50/51 Series Grade 1, and how does it compare with a Grade 2 vertical rod device?
Grade 1, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier and the one usually specified for schools, healthcare, and high traffic commercial openings. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 vertical rod device, a step down in cycle and strength requirements. Among Grade 1 peers, the Delaney 9100 and the Von Duprin 8827 are both wide stile style options rather than narrow stile.
12) Can I get a hurricane rated vertical rod exit device from Detex?
Yes. Hurricane is one of the rating choices on the Advantex 5001DN/5101DN, and there is a combined Hurricane and Fire Rated option if the opening has to satisfy both. None of the other vertical rod devices we list carry a hurricane designation, so this is the line to specify for coastal impact openings.
13) How does the Cal-Royal 9860 compare with the Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN for a high traffic entrance?
Both are surface vertical rod exit devices. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty, Grade 2, exit only, non fire rated device. The Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN is Grade 1, offered in Fire Rated and Non-Rated versions, and is a narrow stile device with a stainless steel deadlocking top latch and hardened steel bottom drop bolt. If a facility standard calls for ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 or a fire label, the Detex meets that specification and the 9860 is the Grade 2 option.
14) Do the Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series vertical rod devices substitute for the Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN?
They are peers on the grade line but not a drop-in swap. The Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in a stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 inch by 84 inch opening, both non fire rated. The Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN is a narrow stile device covering 36 inch and 48 inch widths and door heights of 84, 96, and 120 inches, so it is the one to use on tall doors or narrow stile aluminum storefront. The Delaney devices are fixed single-size units rather than a configurable range.
15) Which vertical rod exit device should I pick if I do not want to specify handing?
The Detex Advantex 5001DN/5101DN is handed, ordered Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though it is field reversible. If a buyer wants to stock a single non-handed unit, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 inch by 84 inch and the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 inch by 84 inch fire rated are both listed as non-handed exit only vertical rod devices. For a facility standardizing on Grade 1 narrow stile hardware with dogging and electrified options, the Detex remains the fuller configuration and its field reversibility keeps handing from becoming a stocking problem.
16) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 50 Series come in to match the other doors in my 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 with a PVD coating, so the plated finishes hold up better outdoors than a lacquered brass would.
17) Do I need paper templates to lay out the Detex Advantex 50 Series on the door?
No. The device uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator that replaces paper templates, which is what keeps the top latch and bottom strike in line on a pair. Detex also publishes door prep templates, installation instructions, and a parts list for the Advantex 20/50 range if your shop prefers to pre-machine.
