Detex 6014DNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 60/61 Series exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Advantex 60/61 concealed vertical rod device is a narrow stile device for aluminum doors, so it suits standard storefront and entrance stiles rather than wide stile hollow metal or wood doors. It is field sizeable and field reversible, so it can be cut down and handed on site. If your opening is a wide stile door, look at a wide stile device instead, such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Imperial USA ED-VR531.
2) Can this Detex device latch a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 60/61 is a concealed vertical rod device engineered for narrow stile aluminum doors without a mullion. Because it latches at the head (and at the threshold on the 60 Series two-rod version) rather than into a strike on the jamb, a pair of doors can be secured with no center post in the opening. A rim device would need a removable mullion to do the same job.
3) What is the difference between the Detex 60 Series and 61 Series vertical rod devices?
Rod count. The 61 Series is top rod only, latching at the head with no bottom rod or floor strike, which is the usual pick where floor debris, carpet, or thresholds cause bottom bolt trouble. The 60 Series carries both top and bottom rod assemblies with patented deadlocking on both bolts for a second point of security at the sill. Both are ordered here under the same family, and you pick between a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device when you order.
4) What does the Key Unlocks Lever, Outside Lever Always Active function mean on a Detex Advantex exit device?
With this function the outside lever is always active, so the trim retracts the latch and anyone can pull the door open from the outside, and the key is used to unlock the lever rather than to retract the latch. It is a passage-style exterior arrangement, not an exit-only device. If you need the outside to stay locked at all times with egress only from the push side, an exit only device like the Marks USA M9900VR or Cal-Royal 9860 is the configuration to look at.
5) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex Advantex 60/61 concealed vertical rod device?
Yes. The Advantex 60/61 is ordered either fire rated or non-rated, so a fire door assembly and a non-rated exterior opening can both be covered from the same series. Fire rated devices cannot be dogged down mechanically, so on a rated opening specify the no-dogging option rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
6) What door widths and heights does the Detex 60/61 Series cover?
Device size is ordered in 36 inch or 48 inch, and rod length is ordered for 96 inch or 120 inch door height. The 120 inch rod set is what you specify on tall storefront and entrance doors. Rods are adjustable with them installed in the door, and the device itself is field sizeable, so minor variations in the opening are handled on site.
7) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Detex Advantex 60/61 exit device?
Yes, handing is part of the order. The choices are right hand reverse and left hand reverse, which are the two hands that apply to an outswinging door with a push bar. The device is also field reversible, so a hand can be changed in the field if the opening turns out to be the other way.
8) Can the Detex Advantex 60/61 be tied into an access control or alarm system?
Yes, through the electrified options ordered with the device. EA is a hardwired electric alarm on the device itself, EX is a request to exit signal switch for reporting egress back to an access control panel, EE is delayed egress for controlled exits, and ED is electric dogging. If none of that is needed, order it with the electrified option set to none.
9) What is the difference between the Detex Advantex 6014DNV/6114DNV and the Von Duprin 8827 vertical rod exit device?
Both are Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices, but they suit different door constructions. The Detex Advantex 6014DNV/6114DNV is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile aluminum doors, and it is offered with a key unlocks lever function so the outside lever is always active. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, from the 88 Series. If the opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf, the Detex is the one prepped for it; on a 1-3/4 inch wide stile door the 8827 is the fit.
10) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 an equivalent substitute for the Detex Advantex 6014DNV/6114DNV?
They are not equivalent. The Detex Advantex 6014DNV/6114DNV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device available in fire rated and non-rated builds. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device that is not fire rated and is exit only. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated assembly, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
11) What dogging options are available on the Detex 60/61, and which should I use to hold a door unlocked during business hours?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or no dogging. Hex dogging uses an Allen key and is the common low-cost option; cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog the device down, which is the pick for retail and school entrances where you do not want staff dogging the door open. Electric dogging is also available as an electrified option if you want the device dogged and undogged on a time clock or access control schedule. Choose no dogging on fire rated openings.
12) Why do bottom bolts on vertical rod devices fail to relatch, and does the Detex Advantex address it?
On many vertical rod devices the bolts start dropping before the door is fully closed, so they catch the strike or the floor and the door never fully relatches. The Advantex uses a 6-position multi-step action in the top latch that holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door closes, which gives more consistent relatching. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for varying weather strip thicknesses, so it can be dialed in after glazing and sweeps are in.
13) Is the Detex 60/61 Grade 1, and how does it compare to other vertical rod exit devices?
The Advantex 60/61 is Grade 1 commercial hardware. Among other vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series and 8100 Series and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are also Grade 1, and the Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 heavy duty. The practical differences are stile and function rather than grade: the Detex is narrow stile for aluminum doors with an always-active outside lever, while the Imperial ED-VR531 and Cal-Royal 9860 are exit only devices, and the Imperial is wide stile.
14) Can I use a Delaney 9100 or 8100 Series vertical rod device in place of the Detex Advantex 6014DNV/6114DNV?
Both Delaney options are Grade 1 vertical rod devices - the 9100 Series heavy duty device for a 36 by 84 inch door in stainless steel finish and the 8100 Series device for a 36 by 84 inch door - and neither is fire rated. The Detex Advantex 6014DNV/6114DNV is a concealed vertical rod device for narrow stile aluminum doors, field sizeable and field reversible, with 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes and 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. On a non-rated 36 by 84 inch opening the Delaney units are in the same Grade 1 class; for narrow stile aluminum leaves or taller doors, stay with the Detex.
15) I need a 48 inch wide door covered - what are my options besides the Detex 6014DNV/6114DNV?
The Detex Advantex 6014DNV/6114DNV comes in a 48 inch device size as well as 36 inch. For 48 inch openings, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered in a 48 by 84 inch non-rated exit only build and the Marks USA M9900F-VR in a 48 by 84 inch fire rated exit only build. Note those Marks devices have no outside trim, while the Detex is configured so the outside lever is always active and a key unlocks the lever.
16) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 60/61 come in for matching other doors in my building?
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 clear and dark bronze anodized framing.
17) Are door prep templates and installation instructions available for the Detex 60/61?
Yes. Detex publishes installation instructions and a 60/61 Series catalog page, and the Advantex 60/61/62/63 door prep templates are available for laying out the aluminum door before you cut. The device uses a patented mounting plate system, which is what keeps the layout accurate when the prep is done in the field.
