Detex 50W HD 628 96 48X84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 50xW Advantex exit device work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The 50xW is a surface vertical rod device sized for 48 inch narrow stile double doors without a mullion. It latches at the head with a deadlocking top latch and into the threshold with a hardened steel bottom drop bolt and dust proof strike, so security does not depend on a mullion or on the other leaf.
2) Is the Detex 50xW suitable for an exterior door exposed to rain and coastal salt air?
Yes, weatherization is the point of the xW version. Exposed surfaces are PVD finished over stainless steel, fasteners are stainless 316, and the device is tested to UL1034-34 Temperature Section 34, UL1034-54 Dust Section 54, MIL-STD 810F Method 506.4 driving rain, and MIL-STD 810F Method 509.4 salt fog. Heavy duty angled end caps shed water. For an interior opening you do not need the weatherized build.
3) Does the 48 inch Detex 50xW fit doors taller than the standard 7 foot opening?
Rod length is an order choice, not a field guess on the base device. Heights offered are 84, 96 and 120 inches, so a 10 foot leaf is covered. The device is also field sizeable and handing reversible, but pick the height band that matches your door so the rods and strikes land correctly.
4) Is the Detex 50xW fire rated?
The standard 50xW is a panic device and is not fire rated. If the opening is in a fire rated assembly, order the HF option (Hurricane and Fire Rated); an H option is also offered for hurricane rating alone. Do not put the non-rated build on a labeled door.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering a Detex 50xW Advantex device?
Handing is required: right hand reverse or left hand reverse. You also choose dogging (cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging), finish, door height, outside trim, and an electrified option. Less bottom rod is a yes or no choice. Note that fire rated builds cannot use mechanical dogging, so if you order HF choose less dogging.
6) Will a narrow stile device like the Detex 50xW mount on my aluminum storefront door?
The 50xW is a narrow stile device, so it is sized for the narrow vertical stiles of aluminum and glass storefront leaves. On a wide stile hollow metal or wood door a wide stile device fits the rail better, for example the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Imperial USA ED-VR531, both wide stile surface vertical rod devices.
7) What other 48 inch vertical rod exit devices could I use instead of the Detex 50xW?
For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900VR 48 x 84 is a vertical rod panic device in exit only configuration, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers 48 x 84 fire rated exit only. Both are exit only, so neither takes outside trim the way the 50xW does with its 08DN lever or 03CN night latch, and neither is specified as weatherized. If the door is exterior and exposed, stay with the 50xW.
8) The Detex 50xW is not fire rated. What fire rated vertical rod device can I use instead on a 48 inch labeled opening?
The 50xW base device carries a Fire Rating of No, so on a labeled 48 inch opening look at the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR, a 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated vertical rod panic device supplied exit only. For 36 inch labeled leaves, the Marks M9900FVR 36 x 84 and the Delaney F9100 Series Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door are both fire rated options. Note that the Detex 50xW is also offered with an HF hurricane and fire rated option, so if you need the weatherized and hurricane performance together with a fire label, that configuration is the one to specify rather than switching brands.
9) Can I use a Von Duprin 8827 in place of the Detex 50xW?
Not as a direct drop-in on a narrow stile door. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod device, Grade 1, 88 Series, for 1-3/4 inch doors and a 3 foot leaf. The Detex 50xW is narrow stile and built for 48 inch doors, so the stile width and the door width both differ. Choose the 8827 for a 3 foot wide stile hollow metal or wood door; choose the 50xW where the door is a 48 inch narrow stile aluminum leaf, particularly on a pair without a mullion.
10) What Grade 1 vertical rod device should I use on a standard 36 by 84 door instead of the Detex 50xW?
The 50xW is built for 48 inch doors, so on a 36 by 84 leaf the Grade 1 options include the Delaney 9100 Series device for a 36 x 84 door in stainless steel finish, the Delaney 8100 Series for the same 36 x 84 opening, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for a 36 inch door. All three are non fire rated, matching the 50xW base configuration on that point. Confirm stile width before choosing: the ED-VR531 is wide stile, while the Detex 50xW is narrow stile.
11) Should I order less bottom rod on a surface vertical rod device?
Less bottom rod drops the bottom rod and drop bolt, which keeps the threshold clear where snow, dirt or floor debris would jam a bottom latch and removes a trip point. The tradeoff is that the leaf then latches only at the head, so the opening relies on the top latch. On a weatherized exterior pair with a clean threshold, keeping the bottom rod gives you the hardened steel drop bolt into a dust proof strike.
12) Which electrified option do I choose for access control or an alarmed exit door?
Five choices on the 50xW: none, EA hardwired electric alarm for a local alarm on unauthorized exit, EX request to exit signal switch to report door use to an access control panel, EE delayed egress where code permits, and ER EX electric latch retraction with request to exit for remote unlocking and momentary push-pull operation. ER EX is the one to pick if the door needs to release from a card reader or front desk.
13) Is the Detex 50xW overkill for a low traffic interior door, and what is a lighter option?
It is a Grade 1 super-heavy-duty device built for high use and high abuse plus outdoor exposure, which is more than an interior stockroom pair needs. A lighter choice is the Cal-Royal 9860, a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device in exit only configuration. For a Grade 1 interior device without the weatherizing, the Delaney 8100 Series vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door is another route.
14) Can the Detex 50xW be held unlatched during business hours?
Yes, if you order dogging. The device offers 1/8 turn hex dogging for staff with a hex key, or cylinder dogging for key control, letting the pushbar stay depressed so the doors push-pull freely. Less dogging is the third choice and is what you take on a fire rated build.
15) I need outside trim with a lever. Do the comparable vertical rod devices offer that, or do I need the Detex 50xW?
Most of the comparable vertical rod devices are supplied exit only, including the Cal-Royal 9860, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Marks USA M9900VR, meaning push bar from the inside with no outside operating trim. The Detex 50xW is ordered with an outside trim selection of 01CN blank plate, 03CN night latch trim, 08DN classroom lever trim, or exit only. If the opening needs keyed re-entry or classroom lever function from the outside, the 50xW covers it in one order.
16) Is there a lighter duty vertical rod exit device than the Detex 50xW for a low traffic exterior door?
The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod exit device is a Grade 2 heavy duty, exit only, non fire rated device with ADA compliance. The Detex 50xW is Grade 1 and super-heavy-duty, and it is the weatherized model tested to MIL-STD 810F driving rain and salt fog with stainless steel 316 fasteners. If the door sees modest traffic and is not exposed to salt air or driving rain, the 9860 is the lighter specification; if abuse or weather exposure is the concern, the 50xW is the one built for it.
17) Which vertical rod exit devices are non-handed, and does the Detex 50xW need handing specified?
The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 and the Marks M9900FVR 36 x 84 fire rated device are both listed as non-handed, so one part covers either leaf. The Detex 50xW is ordered with handing called out as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the device itself is described as handed reversible in the field. For a stocking shelf where you do not know the opening in advance, the non-handed Marks devices avoid the decision; for a specified 48 inch weatherized opening, the 50xW handing is set at order.
18) What finishes does the Detex 50xW Advantex come in for matching other openings in a building?
Eight finishes: 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 by PVD over stainless steel, which is why they hold up outdoors. 628 and 630 are the usual matches for aluminum storefront.
19) Does installing the Detex 50xW require a paper template?
No. The Advantex 50 Series uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which is what makes the top and bottom strike alignment quick to get right. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list for the 20/50 Advantex devices, plus door prep templates for the 50 Series.
20) Does the bottom rod on the Detex 50xW create a trip hazard for accessibility?
The device ships with a ramped bottom bolt cover plus top and bottom rod covers, which is how Detex addresses accessibility at the threshold and keeps the rods protected on a high traffic opening.
