Detex 6008DNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 60/61 Series concealed vertical rod device work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the Advantex 60/61 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for: narrow stile aluminum doors, with no mullion required between a pair. If your opening is a wide stile hollow metal or wood door, this is the wrong device family for it, and something like the Von Duprin 8827 surface vertical rod or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 covers wide stile instead.
2) What is the difference between the Detex 60 Series and the 61 Series?
Rod count. The 60 Series carries both top and bottom rod assemblies and deadlocks top and bottom bolts. The 61 Series is top rod only, with deadlocking at the top. Pick top rod only where a bottom bolt would foul a sloped or dirty threshold; pick top and bottom where you want the extra latching point.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Advantex 6008DNV / 6108DNV?
Yes. The device is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings exit devices use since they always swing out. Detex also builds it field reversible, so a device already on site can be changed over, but order to the opening you have.
4) I need panic hardware on a fire rated aluminum pair. Does the Advantex 60/61 come fire rated?
Fire rated and non-rated are both built. Order the fire rated version for a labeled opening. One caution on ordering: fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged down, so pair the fire rated choice with the less/no dogging option rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
5) What door widths and heights does the Detex 60/61 Series cover, and can it be cut down?
Device length is ordered for 36 inch or 48 inch doors, and rod length for 96 inch or 120 inch door heights. The device is field sizeable and the rods adjust with the rods installed in the door, so an in-between width or a trimmed opening is workable without a special order.
6) I only need push-to-exit with no outside trim. Is there a simpler vertical rod device than the Detex 6008DNV?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 6008DNV/6108DNV is a key locks/unlocks lever device, so it carries outside lever trim and a cylinder. If the opening needs no outside operation, exit-only vertical rod devices cover it: the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900VR 48 by 84 inch version are both non-rated exit only, and the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit only device. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is also an exit only function in Grade 1.
7) What vertical rod exit device should I use on a wide stile door instead of the Detex 6008DNV/6108DNV?
The Detex Advantex 6008DNV/6108DNV is built for narrow stile aluminum doors, so on a wide stile door look at a device catalogued for that stile instead. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in a 36 inch size. Both are surface rod rather than concealed rod, so the door face carries the rods instead of the stile cavity.
8) What does the Key Locks/Unlocks Lever function on the Detex 6008DNV mean for how tenants use the door?
Key Locks/Unlocks Lever means the outside lever is controlled by a key: turn it to unlock and the lever retracts the latch for free pull, turn it back and the lever is locked so entry needs the key. Push bar egress from the inside is always free either way. It is the common storefront setup where you unlock for business hours and relock at close.
9) What is the point of dogging on an exit device, and which option should I order?
Dogging holds the push bar depressed so the door pushes open freely, which is what you want during business hours on a non-rated opening. Hex dogging uses an allen key, cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog it, and less/no dogging is the choice for fire rated doors. Electric dogging (ED) is also offered if you want it dogged and undogged on a time schedule.
10) Can I get a Detex Advantex 60/61 with an alarm or delayed egress?
Four electrified options are built alongside the plain mechanical version: EA hardwired electric alarm for a local sounder on unauthorized use, EX request-to-exit signal switch to report bar operation back to an access control panel, EE delayed egress for a controlled 15 second hold, and ED electric dogging. Delayed egress and electric dogging need power at the door, so plan a power transfer and a supply in the frame.
11) Is the Detex Advantex 60/61 Grade 1, and will it hold up in a school or hospital entrance?
BHMA Grade 1, the top commercial rating, and specified as commercial rather than residential. The angled end cap is built to deflect abuse away from the device, and the 6-position multi-step top latch holds both bolts retracted until the door closes so it relatches consistently on high-cycle doors. It is a common choice for schools, healthcare, retail and government entrances.
12) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod: which should I put on my pair of doors?
Concealed rod, like the Advantex 60/61, runs the rods inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed to be kicked or grabbed and the look stays clean. It needs an aluminum door prepped for it. Surface vertical rod mounts the rods on the face of the door and is the easier retrofit on existing wide stile doors, which is what the Von Duprin 8827 for 1-3/4 inch doors and the Marks USA M9900VR cover.
13) I need a top rod only vertical rod device. Which of these gives me that?
The Detex Advantex 6008DNV/6108DNV is ordered as either a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device, the 61 Series covering the top rod only build. The comparable devices from Marks USA, Delaney, Cal-Royal, Imperial USA and Von Duprin are catalogued as vertical rod devices by size, grade and fire rating without a top-rod-only selection, so specify the Detex when a bottom rod and bottom strike are not wanted.
14) I have to match existing aluminum storefront hardware. What finishes is the Detex 60/61 available in?
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. For typical clear anodized storefront, 628 is the usual match; for bronze anodized frames, 695.
15) Are there Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod alternatives to the Detex Advantex if I do not need the concealed rods?
For a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device, the Delaney F9100 Series in a 36 x 84 door with aluminum finish is one option, and Delaney also lists the non-rated 9100 Series in stainless and the 8100 Series at Grade 1. Those are sized devices for standard openings rather than field-sizeable narrow stile concealed rod hardware, so check the door width and height you actually have before swapping.
16) Do I need special door prep documents to install the Detex Advantex 60/61?
Yes, and Detex publishes them. Door prep templates for the 60/61 Series plus full installation instructions and the series catalog page are available, and the device uses a patented mounting plate system that sets hole locations for you. On concealed rod work, cutting the stile to the template is the step that decides whether the rods adjust in cleanly.
