Detex 5009DN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Detex Advantex 5009DN/5109DN on a pair of aluminum doors with no mullion?
That's exactly what this device is built for. The Advantex 50/51 Series surface vertical rod latches at the head and at the threshold, so a pair of narrow stile doors can be secured without a removable mullion. If you want a mullion-and-rim-device approach instead, you would be looking at a different product family; the vertical rod is the choice when you need both leaves to operate independently and the opening kept clear.
2) Will a narrow stile exit device like the Detex 5009DN fit a wide stile hollow metal door?
It is a narrow stile device, sized for the slim stiles of aluminum storefront and similar narrow rails. On a wide stile hollow metal door you would normally specify a wide stile device instead, such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT (88 Series, Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch door) or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series. Both are wide stile surface vertical rod devices.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series vertical rod device?
Yes. Order it Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. The good news for a maintenance shop is that the device is handed field reversible, so a unit on the shelf can be swapped to the other hand without buying a second part.
4) What do I need to specify to order a Detex 5009DN/5109DN exit device correctly?
Six decisions: device size (36 or 48 inch), door height (84, 96 or 120 inch) so the rods are cut right, top and bottom rod device or top rod only, rating (Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, or Hurricane and Fire Rated), handing, and dogging (hex, cylinder, or less/no dogging). There is also an electrified option to choose: None, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit switch, EE delayed egress, or EB electric alarm with battery. Finish is picked from ten BHMA finishes.
5) How does the Detex 5009DN function with a key, and does the outside lever stay locked?
The function is key unlocks lever, locked when key removed. Turn the key and the outside lever retracts the latch for entry; pull the key and the lever goes dead again, so the opening is exit-only from outside until someone keys it. Egress from the inside is always free on the pushbar.
6) I need a vertical rod device that allows keyed entry from outside, not exit only. Which of these qualifies?
The Detex Advantex 5009DN/5109DN is the one to use when you need outside access, since its function is key unlocks lever, locked when key removed. Several common alternatives are exit only and give no outside entry at all: the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR, the Cal-Royal 9860, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are all listed as exit only. If keyed entry matters on that leaf, don't substitute one of those.
7) I have a 10 foot tall door. Will this Detex vertical rod device cover it?
Yes. Door height is an ordering choice of 84, 96, or 120 inches, so a 10 foot leaf is covered by the 120 inch build with the correct rod length supplied. The device is also field sizeable, which helps when a door falls between standard heights.
8) Can I add an alarm or delayed egress to the Detex Advantex 50/51 device, or do I need a separate product?
It's an option on the device itself. Choose EA for a hardwired electric alarm, EB for an electric alarm with its own battery, EX for a request-to-exit signal switch to tie into access control, or EE for delayed egress. EB is the one to use where you have no power at the door. Pick None for a straight mechanical device.
9) Which fire rated vertical rod exit devices compare to the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series?
The Detex Advantex 5009DN/5109DN is offered in Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, and Non-Rated builds. Other fire rated vertical rod devices include the Delaney F9100 Series Grade 1 fire rated device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches. The Marks devices are exit only, while the Detex carries key control trim.
10) My door is 96 inches tall - which vertical rod devices cover it?
The Detex Advantex 5009DN/5109DN is built for 84, 96, and 120 inch door heights in 36 and 48 inch device sizes. The comparable Delaney 9100, F9100, and 8100 devices and the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR devices are specified for 84 inch doors, so for the taller opening the Detex is the one dimensioned for it.
11) Can I dog the Detex Advantex 50/51 device open during business hours?
On non-rated units, yes. Order either 1/8 turn hex dogging or cylinder dogging, which lets you hold the pushbar depressed and the latches retracted for free push-pull traffic. Cylinder dogging is the one to pick if you don't want staff carrying a hex key. Fire rated devices cannot be dogged, which is why a less/no dogging option is also offered.
12) What is the difference between the top rod only and top and bottom rod versions of this Detex device?
Top and bottom rod gives you a stainless steel deadlocking top latch plus a hardened steel bottom drop bolt into a dust proof strike, which is the standard secure configuration. Top rod only deletes the bottom bolt, so the door latches at the head only. Shops choose top rod only where floor debris, uneven thresholds, or trip concerns make a bottom bolt a maintenance headache.
13) Is the bottom rod on this Detex exit device a trip hazard under ADA?
No. Units ship with top and bottom rod covers, and the bottom bolt cover is an ADA compliant ramped design so a wheelchair or cart rides over it rather than catching. The rod covers are stainless steel as standard.
14) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 an equivalent substitute for a Detex Advantex 50/51 device?
Not on a Grade 1 spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty, Grade 2, non-fire-rated, exit only surface vertical rod device. The Detex Advantex 50/51 is Grade 1 and available fire rated, with keyed outside lever function. Where the drawing calls Grade 1, closer options are the Delaney 9100 Series (Grade 1, non-rated) or the Delaney F9100 Series (Grade 1, fire rated).
15) How hard is this Detex exit device to install without the factory template?
You don't need a paper template. The Advantex 50/51 uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that sets the device and the strikes in position, which is what keeps the top latch and bottom bolt aligned on a narrow stile leaf. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list, and door prep templates are available for the 50 Series.
16) What are the simpler Grade 1 vertical rod alternatives if I do not need dogging or electrified options?
The Detex Advantex 5009DN/5109DN is ordered with hex, cylinder, or no dogging and with electrified options such as delayed egress, request to exit, and electric alarm. For a plain mechanical Grade 1 vertical rod device, the Delaney 9100 Series 36 by 84 inch device in stainless steel finish and the Delaney 8100 Series 36 by 84 inch device are both Grade 1 and non fire rated.
17) I need the same device on a pair of doors in a specific architectural finish - how does the Detex compare to the alternatives on finish choice?
The Detex Advantex 5009DN/5109DN is offered in 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. Among the comparables, the Delaney 9100 Series device is called out in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 Series in an aluminum finish, so the Detex is the one to specify when the opening calls for brass, bronze, or painted finishes.
18) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 50/51 narrow stile exit device come in?
Ten BHMA 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. For matching existing storefront hardware across a property, 628 and 630 are the usual clear-aluminum and satin-stainless matches.
19) Is this Detex device tough enough for a school or hospital entrance that gets heavy daily abuse?
It's built for that traffic. Grade 1, commercial rated, with stainless steel construction, a stainless deadlocking top latch, and a hardened steel bottom drop bolt. Detex describes the 50/51 Series as super-heavy-duty for high-use, high-abuse environments, and typical applications include educational facilities, healthcare, retail, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential.
