Detex 60-630-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 60/61 Advantex exit device work on narrow stile aluminum storefront doors?
That is exactly what the 60/61 Advantex is built for. It is a narrow stile device intended for aluminum doors, and because it is a concealed vertical rod device it latches into the head and the threshold rather than a strike jamb, so it works on a pair of doors without a mullion. If you are working with a wide stile hollow metal or wood door, this is the wrong device family.
2) What is the difference between the Detex 60 and the Detex 61 exit device?
Rod count. The 61 is a top rod only device, the 60 carries both top and bottom rod assemblies. Top rod only avoids a bottom latch and floor strike, which is what most people want on a storefront door where dirt, water and thresholds foul a bottom bolt. The 60 with both rods gives you a second latching point and Detex's patented deadlocking on the bottom bolt as well as the top. Both are ordered from the same series, so pick the rod configuration when you order.
3) Does the Detex 60/61 come fire rated for a fire-rated opening?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds of the 60/61 Advantex are offered, so the rating is something you specify when you order. On a labeled opening you must take the fire rated build, and note that fire rated devices do not get dogging, so plan on the less/no dogging option there. Non-rated openings can take hex dogging or cylinder dogging if you want to hold the door push-pull during business hours.
4) Do I need to order the Detex 60/61 handed, or can I reverse it in the field?
You order it handed, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings that apply to an out-swinging exit door. The device itself is field reversible and field sizeable, so if the wrong hand shows up on site or you need to trim it to a narrower door, you can correct it without buying a new device.
5) What door widths and heights does the Detex 60/61 concealed rod device cover?
Device lengths come in 36 inch and 48 inch, and the rod assemblies are built for either a 96 inch or a 120 inch door height. The 120 inch rods are the ones to specify on tall storefront openings. The device is also field sizeable, so a 36 inch device can be cut down for a narrower leaf.
6) Is concealed vertical rod the right choice, or should I use surface vertical rod?
Concealed rod, like the Detex 60/61, runs the rods inside the door stile. You get a clean look and rods that cannot be grabbed or vandalized, but the door has to be prepped for it, which normally means ordering the aluminum door with the prep or using Detex's templates. Surface vertical rod, such as the Von Duprin 8827 wide stile device or the Cal-Royal 9860, mounts on the face of the door and is far easier to retrofit onto an existing door with no internal prep. On a replacement job where the existing door has no concealed prep, surface rod is the practical answer.
7) Does the Detex 60/61 include outside trim or a lever to get back in?
No. It is a device only, exit only build, which means there is no outside trim, lever, or pull included. Push the bar and you get out; from the outside the door is secure with nothing to operate. If you need keyed or lever access from the pull side, you have to order trim separately, or choose a device configuration that accepts it.
8) What is a wide stile alternative to the Detex 60/61 vertical rod exit device for a hollow metal door?
The Detex 60/61 Advantex is built for narrow stile aluminum doors, so on a wide stile door you want a device prepped for that stile. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, listed at 3 ft with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, 36 inch, exit only. Both run surface rods rather than the concealed rods of the Detex 60/61.
9) Which vertical rod exit devices besides the Detex 60/61 are fire rated?
The Detex 60/61 Advantex is offered in both fire rated and non-rated builds. If you need a fire rated vertical rod device from another maker, the Delaney F9100 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod exit device in 36 x 84 and the M9900F-VR in 48 x 84, both exit only. Note those are sized to a specific door leaf, while the Detex 60/61 is ordered by device size and door height.
10) Can I swap a surface vertical rod exit device for the Detex 60/61 on the same door?
Not without rework. The Detex 60/61 Advantex runs concealed vertical rods inside a narrow stile aluminum door and uses its own mounting plate system and door prep. Surface rod devices such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 and the Cal-Royal 9860 mount their rods on the face of the door, so the prep, the top and bottom strikes and the visible hardware all differ. Treat it as a new prep, not a drop-in.
11) Can I get the Detex Advantex 60/61 with delayed egress or an alarm?
Yes, electrified options are part of the order. You can take it with EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging. If you do not need any of it, order the None option for a purely mechanical device. Delayed egress and electric dogging both need power and, for delayed egress, coordination with the fire alarm, so factor that into the electrical rough-in.
12) Is the Detex 60/61 Grade 1, and is that enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
The 60/61 Advantex carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating, the top commercial grade, and it is built as super heavy duty hardware for high-use, high-abuse openings. The angled end cap is there to take cart and door-strike damage away from the device body. That combination is what you want on school, healthcare and retail exits. If you are spec'ing to a Grade 1 line item on a drawing, this meets it.
13) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 60/61 Advantex?
Not on a Grade 1 spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2 and not fire rated, with ADA compliance noted. The Detex 60/61 Advantex is a Grade 1 device available fire rated or non-rated. If the drawing calls Grade 1 or the opening is a fire door, the 9860 will not meet it.
14) What is the difference between the Detex 60/61 and the Marks USA M9900VR for handing?
The Detex 60/61 Advantex is a handed device, ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though it is field reversible. The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is non-handed and exit only, so there is no handing to specify at order. If you are stocking one device for mixed openings, that difference matters more than the rod style.
15) I need a 48 inch vertical rod exit device - what are my options besides the Detex 60/61?
The Detex 60/61 Advantex is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes across both 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. For a 48 inch leaf from another maker, Marks USA lists the M9900VR 48 x 84 vertical rod panic exit device, exit only, and the M9900F-VR 48 x 84 in a fire rated build. Those are 84 inch door devices, so confirm your door height before substituting.
16) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device than the Detex 60/61 for a standard 36 by 84 door?
The Detex 60/61 Advantex carries options the simpler devices do not - hex, cylinder or no dogging, and electrified builds including delayed egress, request to exit, electric alarm and electric dogging. If the opening needs none of that, the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 non-fire-rated vertical rod device built for a 36 x 84 door, and the Delaney 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for the same leaf in stainless steel finish.
17) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 60/61 come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
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. On aluminum storefront the usual matches are 628 brushed aluminum for clear anodized frames and 695 dark bronze painted or 613 oil rubbed bronze for bronze anodized. If you are standardizing a building, pick one BHMA number and carry it across every opening.
18) Why does the Detex 60/61 re-latch more reliably than an older concealed rod device?
It uses a 6-position multi-step top latch that keeps both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door has actually closed, then throws them. That stops the bolts dragging on the frame or floor strike on the way in, which is the usual cause of a concealed rod door that will not latch consistently. The top bolt on both the 60 and 61, and the bottom bolt on the 60, are also deadlocked against being forced back.
