Detex 62 HD 628 95TB 36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 62 Advantex exit device work on a narrow stile hollow metal door?
That is exactly what the 62 Advantex is built for: narrow stile hollow metal doors, with the vertical rods concealed inside the door rather than surface mounted. It works on a single door or on a pair without a mullion, because the top and bottom bolts latch into the head and the threshold instead of into a center post.
2) What door sizes and heights does the Detex 62 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device width is ordered as 36 inch or 48 inch, and rod height as 96 inch or 120 inch door height. The device is field-sizeable and the rods are adjustable once installed in the door, so minor variation in the opening can be taken up during install.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Detex 62 Advantex?
Handing is a required choice, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings used on outswinging exit doors. The device itself is field reversible, so a unit can be re-handed on site if the opening turns out opposite to what was ordered.
4) What outside trim can I get with the Detex 62 Advantex?
Four choices. Exit only means no outside operation at all. The 01CNV blank plate covers the outside prep with no handle. The 03CNV night latch trim gives key-only retraction from outside. The 08DNV classroom lever trim gives lever entry, which is what you want on a classroom or office door where staff need to come back in without a key every time.
5) Can the Detex 62 be ordered with electric latch retraction or delayed egress?
Yes, the electrified option is a required selection. Choices are none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ER EX electric latch retraction with request to exit switch. Pick ER EX when the door needs to be released remotely by an access control system, EE where you need to hold egress for a timed period, and EX when you only need to signal the panel that the bar was pushed.
6) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device like the Detex 62 or a surface vertical rod?
Concealed rods run inside the door, so nothing hangs on the face to get kicked, tampered with, or collect dirt, and the opening looks clean. The tradeoff is door prep: the door has to be prepped for concealed rods, which usually means a new hollow metal door or a factory-prepped one. If your existing door has no concealed prep, a surface vertical rod is the retrofit answer, for example the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Marks USA M9900VR for a 36 by 84 opening.
7) Will the Detex 62 hold a pair of doors secure without a center mullion?
Yes. Because it latches top and bottom into the frame head and the threshold, it secures a pair with no mullion between the leaves, and the description calls out that no mullion is required. Detex also deadlocks both the top and bottom bolt assemblies, so the bolts resist being forced back once the door closes.
8) What fire rated vertical rod exit devices compare to the fire rated Detex 62?
The Detex 62 Advantex can be ordered in an F fire rated configuration for narrow stile hollow metal doors, and fire rated devices are supplied less dogging. Comparable fire rated vertical rod devices include the Delaney F9100 Series, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR for 36 by 84 inch openings or the M9900F-VR for 48 by 84 inch openings, both exit only. The Marks and Delaney units are supplied as sized devices for a specific door, while the Detex 62 is field-sizeable.
9) What is the difference between the Detex 62 Advantex and the Von Duprin 8827 vertical rod exit device?
The Detex 62 Advantex is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile hollow metal doors, while the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Both are Grade 1. The rods on the Detex 62 run inside the door, so the door must be prepped to accept them; the 8827 mounts its rods on the door face, which is the usual choice on an existing wide stile door with no concealed rod prep. The Detex 62 is also offered field-reversible and field-sizeable with 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes and 96 inch or 120 inch door heights.
10) What dogging options does the Detex 62 come with, and which should I pick for a retail entrance?
Three choices: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. For a retail storefront that stays unlocked during business hours, cylinder dogging lets staff hold the latches retracted with a key so the door pushes free; hex dogging does the same with an allen wrench and is the cheaper standard on non-fire openings. Less dogging is what you order on a fire rated opening.
11) Is the Detex 62 heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
It is a Grade 1, super-heavy-duty device built for high-use, high-abuse openings, which is the level institutional facilities standardize on. The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that keeps top and bottom bolts retracted until the door closes, so re-latching stays consistent on doors that get slammed all day.
12) Can I use the Detex 62 on an exterior door exposed to weather?
The 62 is not a weatherized device, so it is not the pick for a door taking direct driving rain or wash-down. It does handle normal exterior conditions where the top strike needs adjusting around weather stripping, since that strike adjusts vertically and for varying weather strip thicknesses.
13) How hard is the Detex 62 Advantex to install compared to other panic hardware?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate system on the Advantex line, which is the main install advantage: the plate sets the device location so the fasteners land accurately the first time. The rods are adjusted after the device is in the door, and the top strike adjusts vertically, so final latch alignment is done on the door rather than by re-prepping. Detex publishes door prep templates and installation instructions for the 60/61/62/63 series.
14) Is there a simpler exit-only vertical rod device if I do not need outside trim or electrified options?
Yes. The Detex 62 Advantex is offered with outside trim choices including a blank plate, night latch trim and classroom lever trim, plus electrified options such as request to exit, delayed egress and electric latch retraction, and it can also be ordered exit only. If none of that is needed, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device that is exit only and non-handed, and the M9900VR 48 inch by 84 inch covers the wider leaf. Non-handed means no left or right selection at order time, where the Detex 62 is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse.
15) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 62 Advantex?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device, exit only and not fire rated. The Detex 62 Advantex is a Grade 1 super-heavy-duty concealed vertical rod device for narrow stile hollow metal doors, available fire rated and with outside trim and electrified options. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 1 concealed rod hardware, the 9860 will not meet it.
16) What Grade 1 non-fire-rated vertical rod devices should I look at alongside the Detex 62 for a standard 36 by 84 opening?
For a 36 by 84 inch 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 sized for the same door. The Detex 62 Advantex in standard rating covers the same opening in a 36 inch device size and adds concealed rods for narrow stile hollow metal doors, cylinder or hex dogging, and eight finishes from polished brass to black painted.
17) What finishes does the Detex 62 Advantex come in for matching other doors in a building?
Eight finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 630 brushed stainless steel, and 693 black painted. For most commercial hollow metal openings 628 or 630 is what is already on the other doors.
