Detex 60 HD 628 95TB 36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 60 Advantex exit device work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the Detex 60 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 at the head and the threshold, so it secures a pair of doors without a center mullion. If your opening is a wide stile hollow metal or wood door, this is the wrong device family for it.
2) What door sizes does the Detex 60 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Two door widths, 36 inch and 48 inch, and two door heights, 96 inch and 120 inch. The device is field-sizeable and the rods adjust while installed in the door, so you can fine tune to the actual opening rather than ordering a special.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 60 Advantex?
Yes. Order it right hand reverse or left hand reverse. The device is handed but field-reversible, so if the wrong hand shows up on site it can be switched without a new order.
4) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex 60 exit device?
Yes, the F option is the fire rated build; standard (non-fire) is the other choice. On a fire rated opening you order the F version, and note that fire labeled exit devices do not get dogging, so plan the dogging selection accordingly.
5) Can the Detex 60 Advantex be tied into an access control or alarm system?
Yes, through the electrified options: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ER EX electric latch retraction with a request-to-exit switch. ER EX is the one to specify when you want the access control system to retract the latches remotely; EX alone only reports the push. Order it with no electrified option if it is a straight mechanical opening.
6) How does a concealed vertical rod device like the Detex 60 compare to a surface vertical rod device?
Both latch top and bottom so a pair of doors works without a mullion. The difference is where the rods live. The Detex 60 runs them inside the narrow aluminum stile, which keeps the door face clean and the rods out of reach of abuse, but it needs a prepped aluminum door to accept them. A surface vertical rod device such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT mounts the rods on the door face and is a wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, which makes it the retrofit choice on hollow metal rather than storefront.
7) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex 60 Advantex?
They are not equivalent. The Detex 60 Advantex is a Grade 1 super-heavy-duty device. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, exit only and not fire rated, so it will not answer a Grade 1 or fire rated specification.
8) What dogging options come on the Detex 60 Advantex, and which should I pick?
Three: cylinder dogging, hex key dogging, and less dogging. Cylinder dogging lets staff hold the latches retracted with a keyed cylinder for business hours, hex dogging does the same with an allen wrench for maintenance-only control, and less dogging is what you specify on a fire rated opening.
9) What outside trim can I get with the Detex 60 device?
Four choices: exit only with no outside trim, a 01CNV blank plate, 03CNV night latch trim for key retraction from outside, or 08DNV classroom lever trim. Pick exit only or the blank plate when the door is egress out with no outside entry, and the lever trim when people need to come back in through that door.
10) Will the Detex 60 match the finishes on the rest of my storefront doors?
Eight finishes are offered: 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. On aluminum storefront, 628 and 693 are the usual matches to clear and dark anodized frames.
11) Is the Detex 60 heavy enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
It is a Grade 1, super-heavy-duty commercial device aimed at high-use, high-abuse openings. The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds both top and bottom bolts retracted until the door closes, which is what keeps re-latching consistent on doors that get slammed all day, and both bolt assemblies deadlock.
12) Can I use the Detex 60 on an exterior door exposed to weather?
The 60 Advantex is not a weatherized device, so for openings taking direct rain or wash-down you should be looking at a weatherized model instead. On a normal storefront exterior it does handle weather strip variation: the top strike adjusts vertically and for differing weather strip thicknesses.
13) What are the alternatives if I need a fire rated vertical rod device but not a narrow stile one?
If the opening is not narrow stile aluminum, look at the Marks USA M9900FVR in 36 x 84 or the MARM9900F-VR in 48 x 84, both fire rated exit-only vertical rod devices, or the Delaney F9100 Series, a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish. Those are exit only, so if you need outside lever entry the Detex 60 with 08DNV classroom trim is the one that covers it.
14) Is there a lighter duty vertical rod exit device if the Detex 60 is more than my opening needs?
For a lower traffic, non-fire opening, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device in exit only function. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod at 36 inches, also exit only. Neither is a narrow stile concealed rod device, so they will not drop into an aluminum storefront prep the way the Detex 60 does.
15) Is there a simpler vertical rod exit device if I do not need trim or electrified options?
Yes. The Detex 60 Advantex is ordered with handing, dogging, outside trim such as 03CNV night latch or 08DNV classroom lever, and electrified options including delayed egress and electric latch retraction. If the opening only needs push-to-exit, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device supplied exit only and non-handed, with a 48 by 84 inch version as the M9900VR-48X84.
16) What looks like a substitute for the Detex 60 Advantex but is a different device type?
Several Grade 1 vertical rod peers are surface vertical rod devices rather than concealed. The Detex 60 Advantex runs its rods concealed for narrow stile aluminum doors, while the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are surface vertical rod devices. Door prep and exposed rod appearance differ, so confirm which the drawing calls for.
17) Which Grade 1 vertical rod devices come pre-sized for a 36 by 84 inch door?
The Detex 60 Advantex is field-sizeable and offered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes with 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. If you want a device already configured for a 36 by 84 inch door, the Delaney 9100 Series 692301 is Grade 1 in stainless steel, the Delaney 8100 Series 8100-3684 is Grade 1, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 36 inch device.
18) How hard is the Detex 60 to install on a storefront door?
It uses a patented mounting plate system that Detex builds specifically to make the layout accurate, and the rods stay adjustable after the device is in the door, so final latch adjustment happens without pulling it back off. Detex publishes door prep templates and installation instructions for the 60/61/62/63 Advantex series, and you should prep from the template rather than off the device.
