Detex 6201CNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a concealed vertical rod device on a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what this one is for. The Advantex 62/63 Series latches at the head and, on the top and bottom rod version, at the threshold, so a pair of narrow stile hollow metal doors is secured without a center mullion. If your pair has a mullion in place, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) What is the difference between the top rod only and the top and bottom rod version of the Detex 62/63?
Top and bottom rod (the 62 Series configuration) latches at both the frame head and the floor, and Detex deadlocks both the top and bottom bolt assemblies. Top rod only (63 Series) latches at the head and deadlocks the top bolt only. Top rod only is the pick where a floor strike is impractical, for example over carpet, drains, or an uneven threshold.
3) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod available fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered, so specify which one you need at order time. If the opening is in a rated wall assembly, choose the fire rated version. On fire rated openings dogging is not permitted, so the less/no dogging option is the one that belongs on that order.
4) Do I have to order the Detex 62/63 handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
It is a handed device, ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but it is field reversible, and the rods are field sizeable. That matters on a multi-door job where you would otherwise be stocking two part numbers.
5) What door widths and heights does the Detex Advantex 62/63 cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are built for 96 inch or 120 inch door height. The 120 inch option is what you order for a tall opening rather than splicing rods. Rods are field sizeable for trimming to the actual door.
6) Can I get the Detex Advantex 62/63 with an alarm or request-to-exit switch?
Yes, and you pick one electrified option per device: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging. EA is the local alarm horn on the device, EX is a dry signal back to an access control panel, EE holds the door for the code permitted delay before releasing, and ED lets the panel dog and undog the push pad on a schedule. Order None if the device is purely mechanical.
7) Is the Detex 62/63 exit only, or can I add outside trim?
The 6201CNV/6301CNV is configured exit only with a cover plate, meaning no outside pull or key retraction. Once the door shuts, re-entry is from another opening. If you need key access from the outside, specify a device function that accepts trim rather than this one.
8) What is the difference between the Detex 6201CNV/6301CNV and a surface vertical rod device like the Von Duprin 8827-3FT?
The Detex Advantex 6201CNV/6301CNV is a concealed vertical rod device for narrow stile hollow metal doors, so the rods run inside the door and the door must be prepped for them. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series with rods mounted on the face of the door, and it is a wide stile device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door stile is narrow or the specification calls for nothing exposed on the door face, the concealed Detex is the one that fits; if you are retrofitting a wide stile door with no concealed rod prep, the surface-mounted 8827 avoids that prep.
9) I need a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door. What are my options besides the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is offered in a fire rated version and a non-rated version, in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes. If the opening is a wide stile door rather than narrow stile hollow metal, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR (MAR-M9900FVR-36X84) is a fire rated exit-only vertical rod device for the same 36 inch by 84 inch opening and is non-handed. The Detex is a handed device, field-reversible.
10) Which dogging option should I pick on the Detex 62/63?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is held down with an Allen key and is the low cost standard. Cylinder dogging takes a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can hold the device down, which is what schools and retail usually want. Order less/no dogging on any fire rated opening. Electric dogging is handled through the ED electrified option instead.
11) Will the Detex 62/63 match 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 satin chrome looking hardware, 630 is the usual match; 628 pairs with clear anodized aluminum frames.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 ANSI Grade 1?
Grade 1, the highest ANSI/BHMA durability grade, and rated commercial. That is the grade specifiers normally call for on school, hospital, and government egress doors.
13) Why does my concealed vertical rod device fail to re-latch, and does the Detex fix that?
Inconsistent re-latching usually comes from bolts dragging as the door swings. The Advantex 62/63 uses a 6-position multi-step top latch action that holds both top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, then throws them. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for weatherstrip thickness, which is what you use to dial in a door with a gasketed head.
14) What is a cheaper alternative to the Detex concealed vertical rod exit device?
If the door does not need concealed rods, a surface vertical rod device is the simpler and less involved install because no door routing is required. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod, exit only, non-rated. For Grade 1 in surface rod, the Delaney 8100 Series and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are both Grade 1 exit only options, the Imperial being a wide stile device. Concealed rods are worth it where you want the rods protected from abuse and out of sight.
15) I need a non-handed vertical rod device so I do not have to specify left or right. Does Detex offer that?
No. The Advantex 62/63 is a handed device, ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though it can be reversed in the field. If you want to avoid handing on the order altogether, the Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed vertical rod panic device, exit only, offered for 36 by 84 and 48 by 84 doors.
16) We do not want to hand the device. What non-handed vertical rod exit device can we use instead of the Detex 62/63 Series?
The Detex Advantex 6201CNV/6301CNV is a handed device with field-reversible capability, ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you would rather stock one non-handed part, the Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed exit-only vertical rod panic device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, and the fire rated M9900FVR (MAR-M9900FVR-36X84) is likewise non-handed for the same size. Note those are separate devices and not concealed rod narrow stile hardware.
17) What Grade 1 vertical rod device should I use on a 48 inch wide opening if the Detex concealed rod device does not suit the door?
The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is made in a 48 inch size, but it requires a narrow stile hollow metal door prepped for concealed rods. For a 48 inch opening where concealed rods are not practical, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is an exit-only vertical rod panic device for a 48 inch by 84 inch door, and MAR-MARM9900F-VR-48 is the fire rated 48 inch by 84 inch version of the M9900F vertical rod device.
18) Can I put the Imperial USA ED-VR531 on the same narrow stile hollow metal doors as the Detex 6201CNV?
No. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device built for wide stile doors, 36 inch, non-fire-rated and exit only. The Detex Advantex 6201CNV/6301CNV is specified for narrow stile hollow metal doors with the rods concealed in the door. Match the device to the stile width of the actual door leaf before ordering.
19) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod alternative to the Detex Advantex for a standard 36 by 84 non-rated opening?
The Detex Advantex 6201CNV/6301CNV brings a patented mounting plate system, 6-position multi-step top latch action and deadlocking bolt assemblies, and is ordered by door height, finish and rod configuration. For a straightforward non-rated 36 inch by 84 inch opening, the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod device sized for that door, and the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-rated vertical rod device for the same size in a stainless steel finish.
20) Are door prep templates available for installing the Detex 62/63 concealed rod device?
Yes. Installation instructions and the 62/63 Series catalog page are both published, and Detex provides door prep templates for the Advantex 60/61/62/63 Series. Because the rods are concealed, the door has to be routed to the template before the patented mounting plate system goes on, so pull the prep sheet before you cut anything.
21) I only need a top latch, not top and bottom bolts. Does the Detex 62/63 Series cover that or do I need a different device?
The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is built both ways: a top and bottom rod device and a top rod only device, so you do not need to switch brands to drop the bottom bolt. Peer vertical rod devices such as the Marks USA M9900VR and the Delaney 9100 Series are catalogued simply as vertical rod devices for a 36 inch by 84 inch door without a top-rod-only variation stated.
