Detex 62-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 62/63 Advantex concealed vertical rod device work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The 62/63 Advantex is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors without mullions. Because it latches vertically at the head and, on the 62 configuration, at the threshold, it secures the opening without a center mullion between the leaves. If your opening already has a removable mullion, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) Is the Detex 62 or 63 series right for me, and what is the difference between them?
The difference is the bolt count. The 62 configuration uses top and bottom bolts, with a steel bottom drop bolt and patented deadlocking on both top and bottom assemblies. The 63 configuration is top latch only, with patented deadlocking of the top assembly. Choose top-and-bottom when you want two-point latching; choose top-only where a bottom bolt would drag on the floor finish or where sweeping debris is a problem.
3) What door widths and heights does the Detex 62/63 cover, and what if my door is taller than 8 feet?
Device lengths are 36 inch and 48 inch for the door width, and rod sets are offered for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. So a 10 foot tall door is covered without special-order rods. The device is also field-sizeable, and the rods adjust with the rods already installed in the door.
4) Do I have to order the Detex 62/63 handed, or can I flip it in the field?
You do specify handing on the order, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings that apply to an outswinging exit door. The device itself is field-reversible, so a wrong call is recoverable on site rather than a return.
5) What dogging options are available on the Detex Advantex 62/63 for holding a door in free swing during business hours?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard back-of-house option; cylinder dogging lets you dog and undog with a keyed cylinder so the same person carrying door keys can do it. Electric dogging (ED) is also available as an electrified option if you want it on a time clock or access control schedule.
6) Which electrified options can I get on the Detex 62/63 for alarm or delayed egress?
Four electrified builds are offered on the 62/63: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EA is the local alarm on an unauthorized push; EX just reports the push back to an access control panel; EE holds the door for the delayed egress interval; ED dogs the device electrically. You can also order it with no electrical option at all.
7) Is there a fire rated alternative to the Detex 62/63 Advantex vertical rod device?
The Detex 62/63 Advantex itself is configurable as fire rated or non-rated. If you are cross-shopping fire rated vertical rod devices, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both fire rated and exit only.
8) What is the difference between the Detex 62/63 Advantex and the Von Duprin 8827 vertical rod exit device?
Both are Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices, but they suit different door types. The Detex 62/63 Advantex is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile hollow metal doors, offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights, in fire rated and non-rated configurations. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors, 3 ft, with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness and no fire rating. If the stile is narrow and you want the rods concealed inside the door, the Detex is the one that fits; for a wide stile door with surface-applied rods, the 8827 is the match.
9) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 62/63 Advantex?
They are not equivalent on two counts. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod device rated Grade 2 and not fire rated. The Detex 62/63 Advantex is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device available in fire rated as well as non-rated form. If your spec calls for Grade 1 or a fire door, the 9860 will not cover it.
10) Is the Detex 62/63 a full lockset, or do I need to order outside trim separately?
It is an exit-only device. There is no outside trim or pull included and no outside key access in this configuration, so the outside face of the door stays blank unless you add hardware separately. If your opening needs key retraction or a keyed pull from outside, that is a different trim configuration, not this one.
11) What is the surface-mounted alternative if I do not want to drill rods into the door?
Concealed rods need the door prepped internally, so if you are retrofitting an existing leaf, a surface vertical rod device is easier. ZenSupply carries the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 and 48 inch exit-only builds, the fire rated M9900FVR at 36 inches and M9900F-VR at 48 inches, the Delaney 9100 and 8100 Series Grade 1 devices, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT. The trade-off is that the rods and bolts are exposed to abuse on the face of the door.
12) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod exit device if I do not need electrified or dogging options?
The Detex 62/63 Advantex is ordered with dogging choices including hex, cylinder or none, plus electrified options such as electric alarm, request to exit, delayed egress and electric dogging. For a straightforward mechanical Grade 1 vertical rod device without those choices, the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 non-fire-rated vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door, and the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for the same door size in stainless steel finish.
13) I need a non-handed vertical rod exit device - is the Detex 62/63 handed?
The Detex 62/63 Advantex is ordered by handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the device is field-reversible and field-sizeable. If you would rather stock one non-handed device, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches are both described as non-handed, exit only, with the M9900FVR being the fire rated version.
14) What are my options for a 48 inch wide vertical rod exit device?
The Detex 62/63 Advantex is offered in a 48 inch size as well as 36 inch, for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. Comparable 48 inch devices include the Marks USA M9900VR 48 by 84 inch exit only device and the Marks USA M9900F-VR 48 by 84 inch fire rated exit only device.
15) Which vertical rod exit devices hide the rods inside the door rather than mounting them on the face?
The Detex 62/63 Advantex is a concealed vertical rod device, with the rods running inside the narrow stile hollow metal door and configurable as top and bottom rod or top rod only. The comparable Cal-Royal 9860, Imperial USA ED-VR531 and Von Duprin 8827-3FT are all surface vertical rod devices, with the rods applied to the door face.
16) I need to match a specific finish across a building - how does the Detex 62/63 compare to the alternatives on finish choice?
The Detex 62/63 Advantex is offered 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 steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. Among the comparable vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is aluminum, each a single finish per part number.
17) Can I match the Detex 62/63 to the finishes on the rest of my doors?
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 a building already standardized on 630 brushed stainless or 628 aluminum, the two most common commercial finishes, it drops straight in.
18) Why does the Detex Advantex top latch have a 6-position multi-step action, and does it matter on the job?
It matters on re-latching. The 6-position multi-step action holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door has actually closed, so the bolts are not dragging or catching on the frame and floor on the way in. That is the mechanism that keeps a two-point latching door re-securing consistently instead of bouncing off a partly thrown bottom bolt.
19) How hard is the Detex 62/63 to install on a hollow metal door, and are templates available?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate system on the Advantex line, which is the part that gets the device located accurately on the first try. Door prep templates and installation instructions are published by Detex for the 60/61/62/63 Advantex series, and the installation sheet and catalog page are both available as PDFs. Rods adjust with the rods already in the door, so final latch alignment is done after mounting rather than by trial fitting.
