Detex 6003CNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 6003CNV work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the Advantex 60/61 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for. It is a narrow stile device intended for aluminum doors, and it latches at the head and the threshold so it works on a pair of doors without a mullion. On a wide stile hollow metal or wood door you want a wide stile device instead, such as the Von Duprin 8827 surface vertical rod.
2) What is the difference between the Detex 6003CNV and the 6103CNV?
Rod count. The 60 Series (6003CNV) carries both a top and a bottom rod assembly, both with patented deadlocking. The 61 Series (6103CNV) is top rod only, which keeps the bottom of the opening clear of a bottom bolt and strike. Pick the rod configuration on the order: top and bottom rod device, or top rod only device.
3) Can I get the Detex Advantex 60/61 concealed rod device fire rated?
Yes, it is offered in both fire rated and non-rated builds, so specify which you need when ordering. If you are shopping across brands, the Delaney F9100 Series and the Marks USA M9900FVR are also listed as fire rated vertical rod devices, while the Cal-Royal 9860 and Von Duprin 8827-3FT are not.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Advantex 6003CNV?
Handing matters here. Order it right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings used on outswinging storefront doors. The device is field reversible, so a stocked unit can be flipped in the field if the opening turns out opposite.
5) Can I hold the Detex 60/61 device dogged open during business hours?
Yes, if you order it that way. Dogging is specified as hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging, and electric dogging (ED) is available as an electrified option. Note that fire rated exit devices cannot be mechanically dogged, so on a fire opening choose less dogging.
6) I only need exit-only panic hardware with no outside key trim - what is an alternative to the Detex 6003CNV/6103CNV?
The Detex Advantex 6003CNV/6103CNV is configured with key retracts latch pull trim, meaning outside key access through a pull. If no outside trim is needed, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is exit only and non-handed, and the M9900VR 48 x 84 covers the wider opening. The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device is also exit only. Note the Detex is a handed device that can be field reversed, while the Marks M9900VR is non-handed.
7) What fire rated vertical rod exit devices compare to the fire rated Detex 6003CNV/6103CNV?
The Detex Advantex 6003CNV/6103CNV is offered in fire rated and non-rated configurations. Other fire rated vertical rod options include the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84, exit only and non-handed, the Marks USA M9900F-VR at 48 x 84, and the Delaney F9100 Series Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish. The Detex differs in being a concealed vertical rod device for narrow stile aluminum doors.
8) What does Key Retracts Latch mean on this Detex exit device?
The pull trim on the 6003CNV/6103CNV uses a key to retract the latch rather than just unlocking a lever. Turn the key and the bolts pull back so the door can be opened from outside with the pull; from inside the push pad always allows free egress. This is the common storefront setup where you want a pull handle and cylinder instead of a lever trim.
9) Does the Detex Advantex 60/61 come with delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch?
Those are ordered as electrified options on the device: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. Choose None if you want a purely mechanical device. Delayed egress installations are governed by local code and typically need to be tied to the fire alarm.
10) Is this Detex device Grade 1, and how does it compare to a Grade 2 vertical rod device?
The Advantex 60/61 Series is BHMA Grade 1, the heaviest commercial duty level, which is what institutional and high traffic openings are usually specified to. For comparison, the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod is a heavy duty Grade 2 device. Delaney's 9100 and 8100 Series vertical rod devices are also Grade 1 but are surface rod, not concealed.
11) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a surface vertical rod device?
Concealed rods, as on the Advantex 6003CNV/6103CNV, run inside the aluminum stile, so nothing is exposed to carts, weather, or vandalism and the door face stays clean. It requires door prep and is aimed at narrow stile aluminum doors. A surface vertical rod device mounts on the face of the door, is simpler to retrofit, and is the usual choice on wide stile doors: the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial USA ED-VR531, and Marks USA M9900VR are surface rod options.
12) Why does the Detex Advantex re-latch more reliably than an older concealed rod device?
The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, so the bolts are not dragging on the frame or threshold as the door swings shut. The top strike also adjusts vertically and takes up varying weather strip thickness, which is where most concealed rod relatching complaints come from.
13) What Grade 1 non-fire-rated vertical rod devices are alternatives to the Detex 6003CNV/6103CNV for a standard 36 inch door?
For a 36 x 84 non-rated opening, the Delaney 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device in stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 x 84 door. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 6003CNV/6103CNV is Grade 1 as well but is a concealed rod device for narrow stile aluminum doors, sized 36 inch or 48 inch.
14) Can I use a surface vertical rod device where the Detex 6003CNV/6103CNV concealed rod is specified?
They prep differently. The Detex Advantex 6003CNV/6103CNV runs its rods concealed inside the door and is available as a top rod only device or a top and bottom rod device. Surface rod alternatives such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Cal-Royal 9860 mount their rods on the door face. Concealed rod doors require the rod pocket prep, so a surface device is a substitute only if the door is being changed or was never prepped for concealed rods.
15) I need a 48 inch wide door covered - which vertical rod devices come in that width?
The Detex Advantex 6003CNV/6103CNV is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, with 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. Among other vertical rod devices, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered at 48 x 84 and the Marks USA M9900F-VR at 48 x 84 fire rated. The Delaney 9100, Delaney 8100, Imperial ED-VR531 and Von Duprin 8827-3FT alternatives are the 36 inch or 3 ft size.
16) Will the finish match the other aluminum storefront doors in my building?
Ten finishes are offered: 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. For typical clear anodized storefront, 628 is the match; for dark bronze anodized, 695.
17) Is there a door prep template for the Detex 60/61 concealed rod device?
Yes. Detex publishes door prep templates for the Advantex 60/61/62/63 Series, plus full installation instructions and the series catalog page, all linked from the product resources. The patented mounting plate is designed to locate the device accurately, but the aluminum door still has to be routed and drilled to the template before install.
18) What finish options do the alternatives offer compared to the Detex 6003CNV/6103CNV?
The Detex Advantex 6003CNV/6103CNV is offered in 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. Among comparables, the Delaney 9100 Series 36 x 84 device is catalogued in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 Series 36 x 84 fire rated device in an aluminum finish, so the Detex is the option when matching a broader finish schedule across an openings package.
