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

1) Will the Detex Advantex 6201DNV concealed vertical rod device work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 62/63 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors without mullions. Because the rods latch at the head (and at the threshold on the 62 Series top-and-bottom configuration), each leaf secures itself, so no center mullion is needed on a pair.
2) Can I use this Detex Advantex device on a fire rated door?
Yes, if you order the fire rated version. The Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device is offered as either Fire Rated or Non-Rated, and the rating is a selection you make on the order, not something you can convert in the field. Note that fire rated exit hardware cannot be dogged, so pair a fire rated device with the less/no dogging option.
3) Do I need to order a handed device, or is it reversible?
You pick a hand on the order, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings used on outswinging exit doors. The device is also field reversible, so a unit already on the shelf can be changed over if the opening turns out to be the other hand.
4) What door widths and heights does the Detex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are supplied for 96 inch or 120 inch door heights. The device is field sizeable and the rods adjust with the rods installed in the door, so you can fine-tune for a door that is narrower than the nominal size.
5) Can I get alarm or delayed egress built into this Detex exit device?
Yes. The electrified choices are EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging, or None for a purely mechanical device. EA is the local alarm on an unauthorized push, EX sends a signal to the access control panel, EE holds the door for the delay period, and ED dogs and undogs the device remotely on a schedule. All of these are ordered with the device, so specify up front.
6) Is a concealed vertical rod device the right choice, or should I use a surface vertical rod?
Concealed rod, as on the Advantex 62/63, runs the rods inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, grabbed or vandalized, and the door face stays clean. It requires a hollow metal door prepped for concealed rods, which is why templates matter. If the existing door is not prepped for concealed rods, a surface vertical rod device is the practical retrofit, for example the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile surface vertical rod or the Marks USA M9900VR. Surface rods mount to the door face and need no internal prep.
7) Is this Detex device Grade 1, and what else does ZenSupply carry at Grade 1 for vertical rod openings?
The Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device is Grade 1 and commercial rated. Other Grade 1 vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 8827-3FT surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Delaney 9100 Series for a 36 x 84 door, the fire rated Delaney F9100 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, which is wide stile. If your door is narrow stile, the Imperial and Von Duprin wide stile devices will not fit the stile.
8) What does the blank escutcheon version mean, can I still get in from the outside?
Blank escutcheon means exit only. The outside trim is a flat plate with no lever, no thumbpiece and no cylinder, so the door pushes open from the inside and gives no outside operation at all. If you need staff to get back in through that door, you need a keyed or lever trim version instead of the blank escutcheon.
9) What is the difference between the Detex 6201DNV/6301DNV and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT vertical rod exit device?
Both are Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices, but they suit different door constructions. The Detex Advantex 6201DNV/6301DNV is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile hollow metal doors, and it is field reversible and field sizeable with rods adjustable while installed in the door. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series for wide stile doors, listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness in a 3 ft width. If the opening is a narrow stile hollow metal door, the Detex is the one prepped for it; if the stile is wide and you want surface-mounted rods, the 8827-3FT fits that case.
10) What fire rated vertical rod exit devices can I use if the Detex concealed rod device does not suit my door?
The Detex Advantex 6201DNV/6301DNV is available fire rated, but it is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors with concealed rods. For other door types, the Delaney F9100 Series device (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 inch door in aluminum finish, the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for 36 x 84 inch doors, exit only and non-handed, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR covers 48 x 84 inch fire rated, exit only. Note the Detex is handed as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, while the Marks devices are non-handed.
11) Which dogging option should I choose on the Advantex 62/63?
Three choices: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is the standard low-cost way to hold the push pad down for free ingress during business hours. Cylinder dogging lets staff dog and undog with a key instead of a hex wrench, which property managers prefer when they do not want tools floating around. Choose less/no dogging on fire rated openings.
12) Does the top strike on the Detex Advantex adjust for weatherstripping on an exterior door?
Yes. The top strike adjusts both vertically and for varying weather strip thicknesses, so you can bring the door in tight against the seal and still have the latchbolt re-engage cleanly. That adjustment is the difference between a rear exterior door that relatches every time and one that gets propped because it will not catch.
13) Why do the Advantex bolts stay retracted until the door closes?
The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, then drops them. On a high-traffic opening that means the bottom bolt is not dragging across the threshold on every cycle and relatching is more consistent, which is the usual failure point on vertical rod hardware in schools and warehouses.
14) I need a cheaper vertical rod device for a non-rated interior exit, what are my options?
If the opening is not fire rated and does not need narrow stile concealed rods, the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod is a heavy duty Grade 2 exit-only device, and the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod device sized for a 36 x 84 door. Both mount on the door face rather than requiring concealed rod prep. Step up to the Advantex 62/63 when you need Grade 1 concealed rods in a narrow stile door.
15) Will this Detex device hold up on a rear delivery door that gets abused?
That is what it is built for. The Advantex 62/63 is super-heavy-duty with a steel bottom drop bolt on the 62 Series and a heavy duty angled end cap that deflects impact away from the device rather than taking it on the end. Concealing the rods inside the stile also removes the exposed rod that gets bent on loading dock and warehouse doors.
16) Do I need a 48 inch device for a 48 inch wide door?
Match the device size to the leaf: 36 inch and 48 inch devices are offered, and codes require the push pad to span at least half the door width. The device is field sizeable, so a 36 inch unit can be cut down for a narrower leaf, but do not undersize a device on a wide door.
17) Which vertical rod exit devices are exit only, and is the Detex 6201DNV/6301DNV one of them?
The Detex Advantex 6201DNV/6301DNV is furnished with a blank escutcheon, meaning no outside trim or key function through the escutcheon. Peers that are specified exit only include the Cal-Royal 9860, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84, and the Marks USA fire rated M9900FVR and M9900F-VR. If you need outside access from the pull side, none of those exit only devices provide it either.
18) Which alternative should I look at if I need electrified options like delayed egress or request to exit?
The Detex Advantex 6201DNV/6301DNV is the one configured for electrified functions, with choices of EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging, plus hex or cylinder dogging. The comparable vertical rod devices from Cal-Royal, Delaney, Imperial USA, Marks USA and Von Duprin are specified as mechanical exit devices without those electrified functions called out, so for an access controlled or alarmed opening the Detex is the device carrying that capability.
19) Will this match the finishes on the other exit doors in my building?
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 most commercial storefront and hollow metal openings, 628 brushed aluminum or 630 brushed stainless are what you will find on the existing doors.
20) Where can I get the door prep template and install instructions for the Detex 62/63 Series?
Detex publishes both. The installation instructions and the 62/63 Series catalog page are available as PDFs, and Detex hosts door prep templates covering the Advantex 60/61/62/63 Series. For a concealed rod device on hollow metal you want the template in hand before the door is drilled, since the rod pocket prep is not something you correct afterward.
