Detex 6001DNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 6001DNV exit device work on an aluminum storefront door without a center mullion?
That is exactly what the Advantex 60/61 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for: narrow stile aluminum doors without a mullion. Because the rods latch into the head and (on the 60 Series) the threshold rather than into a strike on a mullion, a pair of doors can be secured with a clear opening between them. Wide stile devices like the Von Duprin 8827 or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 will not fit a narrow aluminum stile.
2) What is the difference between the Detex 6001DNV and the 6101DNV?
Rod count. The 60 Series (6001DNV) carries both top and bottom rod assemblies with patented deadlocking at top rod and bottom bolt. The 61 Series (6101DNV) is top rod only, which drops the bottom bolt and the floor strike from the job. Pick top-rod-only where a dirty or uneven threshold would foul a bottom bolt; pick top and bottom where you want two-point latching.
3) Do I need to order the Detex Advantex 60/61 device by handing?
Handing is a required selection, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two hands an outswinging exit door takes. The device is handed but field reversible, so if the wrong hand arrives on site it can be converted rather than returned.
4) Is the Detex Advantex 60/61 concealed vertical rod device available fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated versions are offered, so specify which you need. On a fire rated opening you also cannot use mechanical dogging, so the less/no dogging option is the one that belongs on a rated door.
5) Can the Detex 60/61 device signal an alarm or tie into access control?
Yes, through the electrified option: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging. None is also a valid choice if you want a purely mechanical device. EX is the usual pick for monitoring an exit at the panel; EE is the one to specify where code and the authority having jurisdiction permit a 15 second delay on egress.
6) Does the blank escutcheon version of the Detex 60/61 allow entry from outside?
No. The blank escutcheon is a solid outside plate with no cylinder and no lever, so the device is exit only from inside. If you need key or lever entry from the pull side, you need a 60/61 configured with a keyed or lever trim escutcheon instead.
7) I have a wide stile hollow metal door, not aluminum. Is the Detex 60/61 the wrong device?
Yes, wrong device. The 60/61 is a narrow stile device for aluminum doors. For a wide stile opening look at the Von Duprin 8827 surface vertical rod (Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch door thickness, wide stile) or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 500 Series Grade 1 wide stile device. If the opening is fire rated, the Marks USA M9900FVR and the Delaney F9100 Series are fire rated vertical rod options.
8) What is the difference between the Detex Advantex 6001DNV concealed vertical rod device and the Von Duprin 8827 surface vertical rod device?
Both are Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices, but they suit different door types. The Detex Advantex 60/61 Series 6001DNV/6101DNV is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile aluminum doors. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors, with rods exposed on the door face, and is listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. On an aluminum storefront leaf the narrow stile Detex is the one prepped for that stile width; on a 1-3/4 inch wide stile door the 8827 applies.
9) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch door. What are my options?
The Detex Advantex 60/61 Series 6001DNV/6101DNV is offered in a fire rated configuration in a 36 inch size, for narrow stile aluminum doors. Fire rated alternatives on other door types include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR, a fire rated exit only vertical rod device for 36 inch by 84 inch doors. Choose by stile: the Detex is prepped for narrow aluminum stiles, while the Delaney and Marks units are furnished for standard 36 x 84 door openings.
10) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 6101DNV?
They are not interchangeable on a Grade 1 or fire rated spec. The Detex Advantex 60/61 Series is a Grade 1 device available in fire rated and non-rated configurations. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, exit only function, and is not fire rated. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not meet it.
11) What dogging options come on the Detex Advantex 60/61 exit device?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex is the low cost way to hold the pushbar down during business hours using an allen wrench. Cylinder dogging lets staff dog and undog with a key instead of a tool, which is what most property managers want on a retail entrance. There is also an ED electric dogging option if you need it dogged on a schedule from the access control system.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 60/61 a Grade 1 device suitable for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
Grade 1 commercial, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware and the level institutional specs normally call for. Construction is super-heavy-duty for high-use, high-abuse openings. For a standardization program, the 6-position multi-step top latch keeps both bolts retracted until the door closes, which is what cuts down on the re-latching callbacks you get on storefront doors.
13) Why choose a concealed vertical rod device instead of a surface vertical rod?
Concealed rods run inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, grabbed or vandalized, and the door face stays clean. Surface rod devices such as the Cal-Royal 9860 or the Marks USA M9900VR mount the rods on the face of the door, which makes them easier to retrofit onto an existing door but leaves the rods exposed. The Detex 60/61 is the concealed option and is meant to go into aluminum doors prepped with the manufacturer's templates.
14) Which vertical rod exit devices come in a 48 inch width?
The Detex Advantex 60/61 Series 6001DNV/6101DNV is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. For wider leaves on other door types, Marks USA offers the M9900VR in a 48 inch by 84 inch non-rated exit only version and the M9900F-VR in a 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated exit only version.
15) I only need exit-only panic hardware with no trim. What is simpler than the Detex 6001DNV?
The Detex Advantex 6001DNV/6101DNV is furnished with a blank escutcheon, so it covers the stile without outside operating trim, and it is a handed device that can be field reversed. If you want a purpose-built exit only unit instead, the Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed exit only vertical rod panic device for 36 inch by 84 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit only device for a 36 inch wide stile door.
16) What is the difference between the top rod only and top and bottom rod versions of the Detex 60/61 Series, and how does that compare to the peers?
The 61 Series is a top rod only device while the 60 Series includes both top and bottom rod assemblies with patented deadlocking, and the vertical rod choice is made when ordering. Top rod only reduces floor strike work at the threshold. Comparable devices such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial ED-VR531, and Cal-Royal 9860 are surface vertical rod devices, where the rods run on the face of the door rather than concealed in the stile.
17) Will the Detex 60/61 top strike work with heavy weatherstripping on a storefront door?
The top strike adjusts both vertically and horizontally, so it can be shimmed in to suit varying weather strip thickness and pull the door into proper alignment. That adjustment is what lets one strike serve openings with different gasket build-ups.
18) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 60/61 exit device come in to match 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, 628 and 695 are the two that normally match existing entrances.
19) Is there a door prep template and install sheet for the Detex Advantex 60/61?
Yes. Detex publishes installation instructions and a catalog page for the 60/61 Series, and the device uses a patented mounting plate system that locates the hole pattern for you, which is the part that keeps a narrow stile prep from drifting. Confirm door prep, stile width and handing off those documents before you cut aluminum.
