Detex 6009DNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Detex 6009DNV need a mullion on a pair of doors?
No. The 60/61 Series concealed vertical rod device latches into the head and the threshold, so it secures a pair of narrow stile aluminum doors without a mullion. That's a large part of why buyers pick a vertical rod over a rim device, which does need a mullion at a pair.
2) What does the key override function do on the Detex 6009DNV?
The key unlocks the lever, and the door stays locked once the key is removed. So it isn't a momentary unlock and it isn't a latch-holding function: an authorized person keys it to gain entry and the outside lever goes dead again when the key comes out. Egress from inside is always free through the pushbar.
3) Do I have to order the Detex Advantex 60/61 handed?
You pick Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse when ordering, but the device is handed field reversible, so a unit can be converted on site if the opening turns out opposite to what was measured. It's also field sizeable, which matters on aluminum doors that were cut to a non-standard width.
4) Should I order the top and bottom rod version or top rod only of the Detex 60/61?
Both are offered. Top and bottom rod gives you two latching points and, on the 60 Series, patented deadlocking on both the top and bottom bolt assemblies. Top rod only drops the bottom bolt, which is what people specify when the floor is uneven, the threshold sees carts and wheeled traffic, or the bottom rod is a maintenance headache. On the top rod only version the deadlocking is at the top bolt.
5) Can I get the Detex Advantex 60/61 fire rated for a fire exit opening?
Yes, there's a fire rated build as well as a non-rated build, so the same series covers a stairwell or fire-rated exit and an ordinary non-rated exterior storefront door. One thing to plan for: fire rated exit hardware cannot be dogged down, so if you ordered the fire rated version, specify less/no dogging rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
6) Can the Detex 60/61 tie into my access control or alarm system?
Yes, through the electrified option chosen at order time: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, ED electric dogging, or None for a purely mechanical device. EX is the one integrators pick to shunt an alarm or report egress to the access panel; ED lets the panel dog and undog the bar on a schedule instead of someone walking the building with a key. Pick one when you order, it isn't a field add-on kit.
7) What is the difference between the Detex Advantex concealed vertical rod and a surface vertical rod device like the Marks M9900VR?
On the Advantex 60/61 the rods run inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed on the face of the door and the opening looks clean, which is why it suits glass front aluminum entrances. A surface vertical rod such as the Marks USA M9900VR or the Cal-Royal 9860 mounts the rods on the door face, which is easier to service and doesn't require a door prepped for concealed rods. Concealed rods generally require the door to be manufactured or prepped for them, so on a retrofit of an unprepped door the surface device is the practical route.
8) I'm standardizing exit hardware across a building with both aluminum storefront and wood doors. Can I use the Detex 60/61 everywhere?
No. The Advantex 60/61 is a narrow stile device for aluminum doors, so use it on the storefront and entrance openings only. For the wood and hollow metal doors you'll need a wide stile vertical rod, and there are Grade 1 options in that space, the Von Duprin 88 Series 8827-3FT for 1-3/4 inch doors or the Delaney 9100 Series at 36 x 84. If some of those wood doors are fire rated, the Delaney F9100 Series is the fire rated version.
9) What surface vertical rod exit device can I use instead of the Detex 6009DNV/6109DNV on a hollow metal or wood door?
The Detex Advantex 6009DNV/6109DNV is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile aluminum doors, so it is not the part for a wide stile hollow metal or wood opening. For those doors, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 3 ft openings with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device at 36 inches in wide stile. Both mount rods on the door face rather than inside the stile.
10) If I do not need key override on the outside, is there a simpler vertical rod exit device than the Detex 6009DNV/6109DNV?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 6009DNV/6109DNV carries a key unlocks lever function where the door stays locked when the key is removed, which requires outside trim and a cylinder. If the opening only needs free egress with no outside operation, exit only vertical rod devices include the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches, the Marks USA M9900VR at 48 by 84 inches, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in Grade 1. Those have no outside trim to key or maintain.
11) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex 6009DNV/6109DNV?
No. The Detex Advantex 6009DNV/6109DNV is a Grade 1 device with a key unlocks lever override function. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device that is exit only and not fire rated. If your specification calls for Grade 1, a fire rated option, or keyed outside access, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
12) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 60/61, and which should I pick for a retail entrance?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is held down with an allen key, fine for a back-of-house door where only staff touch it. Cylinder dogging takes a key cylinder instead, which is what most retail and school buyers specify so the pushbar can only be dogged open for business hours by someone with a key. Less/no dogging is the choice on fire rated openings.
13) Does the Detex Advantex 60/61 offer a delayed egress version?
Yes, the EE delayed egress option is available on the 60/61 Series. That's the configuration used where a facility needs to hold someone at the door for the code-permitted delay before it releases, common in healthcare and retail loss prevention. It's ordered as the electrified option on the device, so it has to be selected up front along with handing and rod configuration.
14) Is the Detex 6009DNV Grade 1, and what finishes can I match to my existing storefront?
It's a Grade 1 commercial device. Finishes run 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 most aluminum storefront, 628 and 695 are the two that match typical anodized frames.
15) Why does the Detex 60/61 re-latch more reliably than other vertical rod devices?
The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door has actually closed, so the bolts aren't dragging against the frame or the threshold on the swing. The top strike then adjusts vertically and for varying weather strip thickness, which is where most vertical rod callbacks come from on exterior aluminum doors that have been reweatherstripped.
16) How do the Delaney 9100 and 8100 Series vertical rod devices compare to the Detex 6009DNV/6109DNV?
All three are Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices. The Detex Advantex 6009DNV/6109DNV is a concealed rod device for narrow stile aluminum doors, offered in 36 and 48 inch sizes, for 96 and 120 inch door heights, with top and bottom rod or top rod only builds. The Delaney 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 by 84 door in a stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door. Neither Delaney series is fire rated.
17) The Detex 6009DNV/6109DNV is handed. Which vertical rod devices are non-handed?
The Detex Advantex 6009DNV/6109DNV is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the mechanism is field reversible. If you would rather stock one non-handed part, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 are both listed as non-handed exit only devices, which simplifies ordering for a property manager keeping spares on the shelf.
18) I need electrified options such as delayed egress or request to exit. Do the comparable vertical rod devices offer that?
The Detex Advantex 6009DNV/6109DNV is ordered with an electrified option of none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging, plus hex, cylinder, or less dogging. The comparable vertical rod devices from Cal-Royal, Delaney, Imperial USA, Marks USA, and Von Duprin are catalogued as mechanical exit devices without those electrified build options, so an opening that needs alarmed or delayed egress control points back to the Advantex.
19) How hard is the Detex Advantex 60/61 to install compared with other panic hardware?
It uses a patented mounting plate system that Detex builds specifically to make layout and mounting accurate, and door prep templates plus full installation instructions are published for the 60/61 Series. On a concealed rod job the prep is the critical part, so pull the template for the exact door height, 96 inch or 120 inch, before you cut anything.
