Detex 5014DN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 5014DN/5114DN work on a pair of aluminum storefront doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Advantex 50/51 Series 5014DN/5114DN is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a center mullion. That lets you secure a pair of narrow stile doors without a removable mullion in the opening. The narrow stile build is what makes it suitable for aluminum storefront and glass door stiles; a wide stile device like the Von Duprin 8827-3FT will not fit that stile.
2) What does the Key Unlocks Lever, Lever Always Active function on the Detex 5014DN actually do?
Outside entry is by lever, and the key controls whether that lever is locked or unlocked. The lever itself is always active, meaning it stays connected to the latch retraction, so once the cylinder is turned to the unlocked state people can come in on the lever without a key. Inside, the push bar always gives free egress. That is a different animal from an exit-only device such as the Cal-Royal 9860 or the Marks USA M9900VR, which have no outside trim function at all.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 5014DN/5114DN, or is it non-handed?
Handing matters here. You order it Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings used on outswinging exit doors. The device is field reversible, so a handed unit can be converted on site if the opening turns out to be the other way, without swapping the device. If you want to avoid handing entirely, the Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed vertical rod device, though it is exit only with no lever trim.
4) Can I order the Detex 50 Series without the bottom rod to avoid the floor strike?
Yes. The vertical rod option is either Top and Bottom Rod Device or Top Rod Only Device. Top rod only eliminates the bottom rod and floor strike, which is what most people choose where debris, water, or a wet mop line keeps fouling a floor strike. If you keep the bottom rod, the device uses a hardened steel bottom drop bolt into a dust proof strike, with an ADA ramped bottom bolt cover over it.
5) Can I get a Detex 50 Series device with an alarm or delayed egress built in?
Yes, the electrified option is chosen at order time: None, EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, or EE delayed egress. EB is the one to pick where you cannot pull power to the door. EX is the choice when the alarm is handled by the access control panel and you only need the panel to know the bar was pushed. EE delayed egress is the 15 second hold used on retail and memory care perimeter doors where the local authority permits it.
6) I have a wide stile hollow metal door, not a storefront. Is the Detex narrow stile device the right pick?
No. The Advantex 5014DN/5114DN is a narrow stile device, sized for the slim stiles on aluminum and glass doors. On a wide stile door you want a wide stile surface vertical rod device, such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT (Grade 1, 88 Series, 1-3/4 inch door) or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series. Fitting a narrow stile device to a wide stile leaf leaves the mounting and rod geometry wrong.
7) What is the closest wide stile alternative to the Detex 5014DN/5114DN surface vertical rod device?
The Detex Advantex 5014DN/5114DN is built for narrow stile doors, so it is not the part for a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal leaf. For wide stile openings the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device in a 3 ft width from the 88 Series, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches. Note that both of those are exit only or push-pad only in the configurations listed, while the Detex carries the key unlocks lever, lever always active trim function.
8) What are the fire rated alternatives to the Detex Advantex 50/51 vertical rod device?
The Detex 5014DN/5114DN itself is ordered with a rating option of fire rated, hurricane, hurricane and fire rated, or non-rated, so a fire labeled opening can be covered within the same device. If a different make is needed, fire rated surface vertical rod devices include the Delaney F9100 Series 694300 in Grade 1 for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches or the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both exit only and non-handed. The Detex is the only one of that group offered with a hurricane rating option.
9) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex 5014DN/5114DN?
No, they differ on two points that usually decide the opening. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty exit only surface vertical rod device with no fire rating, while the Detex Advantex 5014DN/5114DN is Grade 1 and can be ordered fire rated or hurricane rated. The Detex also carries outside lever trim with a key unlocks lever function that the exit only 9860 does not provide. If the spec calls for Grade 1 or a labeled door, the 9860 will not meet it.
10) I need a vertical rod exit device on a 96 inch tall door. Which of these will work?
The Detex Advantex 5014DN/5114DN is the one built for it: door height is an ordering option in 84, 96 and 120 inch, and the device itself comes in 36 or 48 inch widths with a top and bottom rod or top rod only configuration. The comparable devices from Delaney, Marks USA and Imperial USA are catalogued at 36 by 84 or 48 by 84 inch doors, so a 96 inch leaf falls outside what those parts cover.
11) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 50/51 exit device, and can I dog a fire rated one?
Three choices: Hex Dogging, Cylinder Dogging, or Less/No dogging. Hex uses an allen key, cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can hold the push bar down for daytime free entry. Order Less/No dogging on any fire rated configuration, since mechanical dogging is not used on fire doors.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series Grade 1, and will it hold up on a high traffic entrance?
Grade 1, which is the top ANSI/BHMA commercial durability class for exit devices. Detex builds it as super heavy duty for high-use, high-abuse openings, with a stainless steel deadlocking top latch and stainless rod covers. For a school vestibule, hospital entry, or municipal building main door, that is the specification level you want. The Cal-Royal 9860 vertical rod device is Grade 2 by comparison, a step down in duty class.
13) What is a simpler alternative if I only need exit and no outside lever trim?
If nobody needs to come in through that door, an exit-only vertical rod device is fewer parts and fewer keys. ZenSupply carries the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 x 84 and the M9900VR-48X84 at 48 x 84 for non-rated openings, and the M9900FVR (36 x 84) or MARM9900F-VR (48 x 84) where the door is fire rated. The Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series are Grade 1 vertical rod devices at 36 x 84, with the F9100 Series as the fire rated version. Choose the Detex 5014DN/5114DN only when you need key-controlled lever entry from outside.
14) How do the Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series vertical rod devices compare with the Detex Advantex 50/51?
All three are Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices. The Delaney 8100 Series 3684 is a Grade 1 non fire rated device sized for a 36 by 84 inch door, and the Delaney 9100 Series 692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non fire rated device for the same 36 by 84 inch opening in a stainless steel finish; the F9100 version adds the fire rating. Those Delaney parts are sold at a fixed door size, whereas the Detex 5014DN/5114DN is configured by door height in 84, 96 and 120 inch and device size in 36 or 48 inch, and is a narrow stile device with a field reversible handed design.
15) Does handing matter when swapping between the Detex Advantex 50/51 and a Marks USA M9900VR?
Yes. The Detex 5014DN/5114DN is a handed device ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the design is field reversible so it can be adapted on site. The Marks USA M9900VR and the fire rated M9900FVR are non-handed, so handing is not part of that order. Confirm the swing before ordering the Detex so the trim and latch orientation match the opening.
16) What finishes can I get to match the other Detex devices in my building?
Ten finishes are offered on the Advantex 50/51 Series: 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. The plated finishes are applied over stainless steel with a PVD coating, so they hold up outdoors better than a lacquered brass finish on a storefront door. 628 and 630 are the usual matches for aluminum storefront; 695 for dark bronze anodized frames.
17) How hard is the Detex Advantex 50 Series to install compared to other panic hardware?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system instead of paper templates, so the device and the strikes land where they belong without a template drifting on the door. Door prep is minimal, which matters on an existing aluminum door you do not want to cut up. Detex also publishes door prep templates and a parts list, and ZenSupply hosts the installation instructions and the Advantex 20/50 parts list as PDFs on the product record.
