Detex 5002DN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 50/51 Series vertical rod device work on a pair of narrow stile aluminum doors without a mullion?
That is exactly what the Advantex 5002DN/5102DN is built for. It's a narrow stile surface vertical rod device, and it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center post, so a pair of doors can be secured with no mullion between them. If your openings are wide stile hollow metal or wood, look at a wide stile device instead, such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Imperial USA ED-VR531.
2) Can I get a Detex Advantex 50 Series device with a top latch only, no bottom bolt?
Yes. The vertical rod option is either a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device. Top rod only is the usual choice where floor conditions, carpet, or drainage make a bottom drop bolt a nuisance. The top and bottom version adds a hardened steel bottom drop bolt with a dust proof strike and an ADA compliant ramped bolt cover so it isn't a trip hazard.
3) What does the DN in Detex 5002DN mean for outside trim?
The 5002DN/5102DN ships with dummy lever trim, meaning the outside lever is fixed and does not retract the latch. It's pull-only from the outside, door stays locked, egress is always free from the push side. If you need key access or a lever that operates the device from outside, specify a different trim function in the 50/51 Series, not the DN.
4) Is the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series available fire rated and hurricane rated?
Four rating options are offered: Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, and Non-Rated. Pick fire rated for a labeled opening in a stair or corridor, and note that a fire rated device cannot be dogged, so order it Less/No dogging. The hurricane option is what you want for coastal impact-zone storefront.
5) Can I get alarm or delayed egress built into a Detex vertical rod exit device?
Yes, the electrified option is part of the order. Choices are None, EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request-to-exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EB is the one to use where there is no power at the door. EX is the signal you tie into an access control panel to shunt an alarm on authorized egress. EE delayed egress requires an approved fire alarm interface and local authority sign-off.
6) What surface vertical rod exit device works on a narrow stile aluminum door instead of a wide stile device?
The Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN is built for narrow stile doors, so it suits aluminum storefront stiles where a wide stile chassis will not fit. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are both wide stile surface vertical rod devices, so they are intended for doors with a wider stile face. Check your stile width before choosing between them.
7) Is there a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod exit device alternative to the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series?
The Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN is a Grade 1 device and is offered in Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, and Non-Rated builds. For a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod alternative, the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish. Marks USA also lists fire rated vertical rod devices, the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches and the MARM9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches.
8) What should I use on a pair of doors taller than 84 inches?
The Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN is offered for 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch door heights in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes. The comparable vertical rod devices from Delaney and Marks USA are catalogued for 36 by 84 and 48 by 84 inch doors, so for a taller leaf the Detex is the device that covers the height.
9) Can a Von Duprin 8827-3FT replace a Detex Advantex 5002DN vertical rod device?
Both are Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices, but they are not interchangeable in the same prep. The 8827-3FT is a wide stile device listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, while the Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN is a narrow stile device with dummy lever trim. Swapping between them means different door preparation and, in the Detex case, handing selection between right hand reverse and left hand reverse.
10) How do I dog the Detex Advantex 50 Series open during business hours?
Dogging is specified at order: Hex Dogging, Cylinder Dogging, or Less/No dogging. Both hex and cylinder dogging hold the pushbar depressed with a 1/8 turn so the door pushes free during business hours. Cylinder dogging is the choice where you don't want a maintenance hex key controlling the opening, and it takes a mortise cylinder that you order separately.
11) Is the Detex Advantex 50 Series ANSI Grade 1, and how does it compare to a Cal-Royal 9860?
Grade 1 is the rating on the Advantex 50/51 Series, the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit devices and what most institutional specs call for. The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device is Grade 2 heavy duty and non-fire-rated, so it's a lighter-traffic alternative. For a Grade 1 peer in the same type, the Delaney 9100 Series and Von Duprin 8827-3FT are both Grade 1.
12) Will the Detex 50 Series finish match the other doors in my building?
Ten finishes are offered: 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. On the plated finishes the coating is PVD over stainless steel, which holds up better than lacquered brass on high-touch entrances. 628 and 695 are the usual matches for clear and dark bronze anodized storefront.
13) I just need a basic exit-only vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door. Is the Detex Advantex overkill?
Possibly. The Advantex 5002DN/5102DN is a super-heavy-duty narrow stile device with dummy lever trim and an option list for dogging, electrification, and hurricane rating, which is more than a single back-of-house door needs. For a straightforward exit-only replacement at that size, the Marks USA M9900VR (non-handed) or the Delaney 8100 Series are simpler Grade 1 vertical rod options, with the Delaney F9100 Series and Marks M9900FVR covering fire rated openings.
14) Is the bottom bolt on the Detex 50 Series a trip hazard for ADA compliance?
No. The bottom drop bolt is covered by an ADA compliant ramped cover, and the device is stated to meet accessibility requirements for commercial use. The strike at the sill is a dust proof type, which keeps debris out of the bolt hole on an exterior opening where grit is the usual cause of a bottom bolt failing to seat.
15) Is a non-handed vertical rod device an option instead of specifying handing?
The Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN requires you to choose Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though the device is field reversible. If you would rather stock a device that does not require a handing call at order time, the Marks USA M9900VR and the fire rated M9900FVR are catalogued as non-handed.
16) What is a simpler exit-only vertical rod device if I do not need the dummy lever trim?
The Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN ships with dummy lever trim for a pull side handle. If you only need push-to-exit with no outside trim, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900VR-48X84 at 48 by 84 inches are exit only vertical rod panic devices, as are the Imperial USA ED-VR531 and the Cal-Royal 9860.
17) Which vertical rod devices are non-fire-rated if my opening is not a rated pair?
On a non-rated pair you can use the Non-Rated build of the Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN. Non-fire-rated comparables include the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 and 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684, both Grade 1, the Grade 1 Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Grade 2 Cal-Royal 9860.
18) What are my options if I only need a top rod device rather than top and bottom rods?
The Detex Advantex 5002DN/5102DN can be ordered as a Top Rod Only Device or as a Top and Bottom Rod Device, which is useful where a bottom rod and dust proof strike are not wanted in the floor. The comparable devices, such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301, are catalogued as vertical rod devices without that top-rod-only split.
19) Do I still need a paper template to prep the door for a Detex Advantex 50 Series?
No. The Advantex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, and door prep is minimal, which is what keeps install time down on an aluminum stile you don't want to over-cut. Detex also publishes door prep templates and a full installation instruction sheet if your shop prefers to lay it out conventionally.
