Detex 6202CNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device on a pair of doors with no mullion?
Yes. A vertical rod device latches into the head frame and, on the top-and-bottom-rod version, into the threshold, so it secures a pair of doors without a center mullion. The Advantex 62/63 is specifically described for narrow stile hollow metal doors without mullions. If you would rather keep a mullion and use rim devices, that is a different device family.
2) What is the difference between the 62 Series and the 63 Series Advantex device?
The 62 Series is the top-and-bottom bolt device: it has a steel bottom drop bolt and patented deadlocking on both the top and bottom bolt assemblies. The 63 Series is the top-latch-only device, with patented deadlocking of the top bolt. Choose top-rod-only when you want to keep the bottom of the opening clear of a floor strike, and top-and-bottom when you want two-point latching.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex 6202CNV/6302CNV?
Yes, handing is a required selection: Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Panic hardware is always a reverse bevel door, so those are the two options. The device is also field reversible, which helps if a door gets re-swung later, but order it handed for the opening you have.
4) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device available fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated versions are offered. On a fire door assembly you must order the fire rated version, and fire rated exit devices do not permit mechanical dogging, so plan your dogging selection accordingly. If you only need panic egress on a non-rated opening, the non-rated build is the one to take.
5) What door widths and heights does the Detex Advantex 62/63 device cover, and can it be cut down?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, with rod lengths for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. The device is field sizeable and the rods adjust with the rods installed in the door, so a 36 inch device can be fitted to a narrower opening without returning it. Order the 120 inch rod set for tall openings.
6) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 62/63, and which should I pick?
Three choices: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is the standard low-cost way to hold the pushpad down during business hours. Cylinder dogging lets staff dog the device with a key instead of an Allen wrench, which suits schools and retail where you do not want a hex key floating around. Take less/no dogging on fire rated openings. There is also an ED electric dogging option if you want the device dogged on a time schedule.
7) Does the Detex 6202CNV/6302CNV come with a lever or outside key trim?
No. This build carries dummy pull trim, meaning a fixed pull on the outside with no key retraction of the latch. It is push-to-exit from the inside and non-latch-retracting from the outside. If you need keyed entry from the pull side, you need a device ordered with keyed trim instead.
8) Can I swap a Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed rod device onto a door that has a surface vertical rod device now?
Not as a drop-in. A concealed vertical rod device needs the door prepped internally for the rods and top latch case, while a surface rod device mounts entirely on the door face. Replacing surface with concealed means new door prep or a new door. If you want a straight face-mount replacement, stay with a surface rod device such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Marks USA M9900VR.
9) What is the difference between the Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV 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 6202CNV/6302CNV is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile hollow metal doors, and it is offered in fire rated and non-rated builds. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors, listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness and non-fire-rated. If the rods must be hidden inside a narrow stile hollow metal door, the Detex is the applicable form; if the door is wide stile and surface-mounted rods are acceptable, the 8827 fits that opening.
10) Can I use a wide stile vertical rod exit device like the Imperial ED-VR531 in place of the Detex 6202CNV/6302CNV?
No. The Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV is engineered for narrow stile hollow metal doors, while the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors at 36 inches, exit only and non-fire-rated. The mounting footprint of a wide stile device will not land on a narrow stile, and the ED-VR531 also has no fire rated designation, whereas the Detex can be ordered fire rated.
11) I need electric dogging or delayed egress on a vertical rod device - which one supports that?
The Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV is the one to specify for electrified functions: it can be ordered with EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging, plus hex or cylinder dogging on the mechanical side. The comparable vertical rod devices from Cal-Royal, Delaney, Imperial USA, Marks USA and Von Duprin listed here are mechanical vertical rod devices without these electrified options called out, so if the opening needs an alarm, REX signal, delayed egress or electric dogging, stay with the Advantex.
12) What electrified options can I add to the Detex Advantex 62/63 exit device?
Four, plus none: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is what you want to shunt an alarm or tell the access control system the door was used legitimately. EE delayed egress is for controlled openings where local code permits the delay. EA gives you a local horn on the device itself.
13) Why does the Detex Advantex re-latch more reliably than a basic vertical rod device?
The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that keeps the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, so the bolts are not dragging on the frame or hanging up short of the strike. On high-traffic doors that is the difference between a door that secures every cycle and one maintenance keeps getting called back to.
14) Is there a less expensive alternative to the Detex Advantex concealed vertical rod device for a low-traffic door?
For openings that do not require Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit only and non-fire-rated. The Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV is Grade 1 with concealed rods and dummy pull trim, and can be specified fire rated. The 9860 is not a substitute on a fire door or where a Grade 1 device is called for on the drawing.
15) What should I order instead of the Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV if I need a 48 inch wide door covered?
The Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV itself is offered in a 48 inch size as well as 36 inch, so a wider opening stays in the same series. If a surface-mounted device is acceptable instead, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered for a 48 by 84 inch door as an exit only device, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR covers 48 by 84 inch in a fire rated exit only build.
16) Which vertical rod exit devices are exit only, and does the Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV have outside trim?
The Detex Advantex 6202CNV/6302CNV is supplied with dummy pull trim, so there is an outside pull that does not retract the latches - entry is not provided from the pull. Devices in the same category that are exit only with no outside trim at all include the Cal-Royal 9860, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR. If the opening needs a visible outside pull for door control, the dummy pull trim configuration is the closer match; if nothing is wanted on the outside face, an exit only device suits.
17) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 62/63 exit device come in?
Ten: 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 matching existing hardware across a building, 628 and 630 are the usual commercial standards; 693 and 695 painted finishes are the common choice on dark storefront and hollow metal.
18) Where do I get the door prep template for the Detex 62/63 Series before I order?
Detex publishes both a catalog page and full installation instructions for the 62/63 Series, and they are the documents to work from for door prep on a concealed rod install. Hollow metal doors generally need the prep done before the door is built or the door removed to route it, so pull the prep dimensions before the door order goes in, not after.
