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

1) Will the Detex Advantex 6202DNV concealed vertical rod device work on an aluminum storefront door?
No. The Advantex 62/63 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors, not aluminum storefront. Detex calls out narrow stile specifically for hollow metal construction, and the concealed rods run inside the door, so the door has to be prepped for them. If you're working a storefront opening, you need a device built for aluminum narrow stile with its own rod channel.
2) Do I need a mullion to use this Detex exit device on a pair of doors?
No mullion needed. The Advantex 62/63 Series concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and, on the top-and-bottom configuration, at the threshold, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. That's the main reason to pick a vertical rod over a rim device, which does require a mullion on a pair.
3) What is the difference between the top rod only and the top and bottom rod version of the Detex 62/63 Series?
Both are offered. The top-and-bottom rod device latches at the head and at the floor. The top-rod-only device (less bottom rod) drops the floor bolt and strike, which keeps the threshold clear, avoids a floor strike that collects dirt, and is common where a bottom bolt would drag. Note the deadlocking differs: the 62 Series deadlocks both top and bottom bolt assemblies, the 63 Series deadlocks the top only.
4) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 Series fire rated?
It's built both ways. The 62/63 Series is ordered as either fire rated or non-rated, so you pick to match the opening. Fire rated doors require the fire version, and fire devices do not get dogged down. If the door is not in a rated assembly, the non-rated build with dogging is the usual choice.
5) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex 6202DNV?
You do pick a hand on the order, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two hands exit devices come in since the door always swings out. That said, the Advantex device is field reversible, so a hand can be changed on site if the opening turns out to be the other way.
6) What door widths and heights does the Detex 62/63 Series concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod kits are built for 96 inch or 120 inch door heights. The 120 inch rods are what you order for tall openings. The device is field sizeable and the rods adjust with the rods already installed in the door, so minor trimming to the actual opening is done on site.
7) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 62/63, and which should I choose?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging uses an allen key and is the standard for back-of-house where only staff hold the wrench. Cylinder dogging takes a key cylinder, which suits a building already keyed to a system and keeps a loose hex key out of the picture. Less dogging is what you order for a fire rated opening. The device dogs with a 1/8 turn.
8) Can I get the Detex 62/63 Series with delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch?
Yes, the electrified option is chosen on the order: none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging. EX is what ties the device into an access control system for alarm shunt. EE is the delayed egress build for controlled exits. ED lets the device be dogged and undogged remotely on a schedule.
9) Does the dummy lever trim on the Detex 6202DNV let you back into the door from outside?
No. Dummy lever trim is a pull only, it does not retract the bolts. Egress is from the push bar inside, and entry from outside means the door has to be dogged down or opened by someone inside. If you need keyed entry from the exterior, you want a keyed lever or night latch trim instead of the dummy.
10) What is a surface vertical rod alternative to the Detex 6202DNV/6302DNV for a wide stile door?
The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile hollow metal doors. If the opening is a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in a 3 ft size for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is also a wide stile surface vertical rod device, Grade 1, in a 36 inch width. Surface rods mount on the face of the door rather than inside the stile, so door prep differs substantially from the concealed Advantex.
11) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device but not the full Detex Advantex - what else carries a fire rating?
The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is offered in both fire rated and non-rated configurations. Other fire rated vertical rod devices include the Delaney F9100 Series, Grade 1 heavy duty, sized for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR in 36 by 84 inch or the M9900F-VR in 48 by 84 inch, both exit only and non-handed. The Marks and Delaney units are exit only, so they carry no outside trim, while the Advantex configuration includes dummy lever trim on the pull side.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 Grade 1, and what does that mean for a school or hospital corridor?
Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA commercial durability level for exit hardware, which is what specs on schools, healthcare, and government work normally call for. Detex builds the Advantex 62/63 as a commercial Grade 1 device with steel construction for high-use, high-abuse traffic, and the top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds the bolts retracted until the door closes, so it re-latches consistently instead of hanging up on a fast-closing door.
13) What is a lower-cost alternative to the Detex Advantex vertical rod device if I just need exit-only hardware?
If the opening only needs push-to-exit with no outside trim, exit-only vertical rod devices cost less and install faster. Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed exit-only vertical rod device in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84, with a fire rated counterpart in the M9900FVR. Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit-only device for lighter traffic. The Detex 62/63 is the Grade 1, high-abuse, narrow-stile hollow-metal choice with electrified and delayed egress options those don't offer.
14) Does the Detex 62/63 need special door prep, and are templates available?
Yes, concealed rods run inside the door, so the door has to be prepped for the device and rod channels before install. Detex publishes door prep templates and full installation instructions for the Advantex 60/61/62/63 Series, and the mounting plate system locates the device off the template for accurate placement. If your doors are already hung and not prepped for concealed rods, factor that in or go surface rod instead.
15) Will the top latch on the Detex Advantex re-engage properly on a door with heavy weatherstripping?
It's built for that. The top strike on the Advantex 62/63 adjusts vertically and also adjusts to take up varying weather strip thicknesses, so you can dial the strike in until the latchbolt re-engages cleanly instead of shimming the strike. That matters on exterior hollow metal openings where the weatherstrip holds the door off the stop.
16) What is a simpler non-rated Grade 1 vertical rod device if I do not need the Detex Advantex feature set?
For a non fire rated Grade 1 opening, the Delaney 9100 Series is a heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 by 84 inch door in a stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 by 84 inch door. Both are supplied for a fixed door size, whereas the Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is field sizeable and field reversible and is stocked in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights.
17) Do any of the comparable vertical rod devices offer electrified options like the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is configurable with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging, plus hex or cylinder dogging. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial ED-VR531, Marks USA M9900VR, and Cal-Royal 9860 are mechanical vertical rod devices in exit only or standard configurations. If the opening needs delayed egress or a request to exit signal built into the device, the Advantex is the one of this group configured for it.
18) Is the Marks USA M9900VR a drop-in replacement for a Detex 6202DNV/6302DNV opening?
No. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch non fire rated vertical rod panic device, exit only and non-handed. The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series is a concealed vertical rod device for narrow stile hollow metal doors, ordered by handing as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, and it includes dummy lever trim. Swapping in the M9900VR means new door prep and the loss of the outside lever, so it is a replacement only if the door is being re-prepped.
19) What finishes does the Detex 62/63 Series come in for matching other hardware in the building?
Ten finishes: 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 openings 628 and 630 are the ones that match existing aluminum and stainless trim; 695 is the usual pick against dark bronze storefront and frames.
