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

1) Will the Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP fit a narrow stile hollow metal door?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Advantex 62/63 Series concealed vertical rod device is a narrow stile device for hollow metal doors, used on openings without a mullion. On an aluminum storefront or a wide stile hollow metal door you would be looking at a different device family, and a wide stile surface vertical rod such as the Von Duprin 8827 covers that case.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 6202WP/6302WP exit device?
Yes. Handing is a required selection, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, since exit devices swing out. The device itself is field reversible, so an installer can flip it on site if the opening turns out to be the other hand.
3) What is the difference between the top and bottom rod version and the top rod only version of the Advantex 62/63?
Top and bottom rod latches at both the head and the threshold. Top rod only (less bottom rod) drops the bottom bolt and floor strike, which is the usual choice where floor debris, water, or a sloped threshold would foul a bottom latch. Both arrangements are offered in fire rated and non-rated builds on 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes.
4) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device?
Fire rated builds are offered alongside non-rated ones, in both the top-and-bottom rod and top-rod-only configurations, 36 inch and 48 inch, in 628 and 630. Order the fire rated option for a labeled opening. Note that fire rated exit devices are supplied without mechanical dogging, so specify dogging accordingly.
5) What door widths and heights does the Detex 62/63 Advantex cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and you pick a door height of 96 inch or 120 inch so the rods come the right length. The rods are field sizeable and adjustable while the device is installed in the door, so minor height variation is handled on site.
6) Does the dummy pull trim on the 6202WP/6302WP allow entry from outside?
No. Dummy pull trim is a fixed pull, not a lockset, so the outside is pull-only with no key or lever retraction. Egress is from the inside push bar. If you need keyed or lever entry from the exterior, this trim function is the wrong choice.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 vertical rod exit device to the Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP if the door is a wide stile rather than narrow stile?
The Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors. For a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device listed for wide stile and 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 36 inch surface vertical rod device also listed as wide stile. Note that both of those are surface vertical rod, while the Detex runs concealed vertical rod.
8) Which fire rated vertical rod exit devices can be considered against the Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP fire rated option?
The Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP is ordered in either a Non-Rated or Fire Rated configuration in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. Fire rated alternatives include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, the Marks USA M9900FVR for a 36 by 84 inch door, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR for a 48 by 84 inch door. The Marks units are exit only, with no trim, while the Detex is furnished with dummy pull trim.
9) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP?
They are not equivalent on two counts. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit device with no fire rating and an exit only function. The Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP is Grade 1, concealed vertical rod, available in a fire rated configuration, and comes with dummy pull trim. If a spec calls for Grade 1 panic hardware or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
10) Which dogging option should I pick on the Detex Advantex 62/63?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard low-cost way to hold the push bar down during business hours. Cylinder dogging keys it to your system so only keyholders can dog the door. Choose less/no dogging on fire rated openings. Electric dogging is also available as an electrified option if you want the door held on a schedule.
11) What electrified options can I order with the Detex 6202WP/6302WP?
Four, plus none: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is the one to pick when you just need to signal the access control panel that the bar was pushed; EE is for controlled egress openings where code and the AHJ permit delay; EA gives you a local alarm on the door itself.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 exit device Grade 1?
Grade 1, BHMA, which is the highest commercial durability classification and what most institutional and government specs call for on high-traffic egress doors. Of the cross-brand vertical rod devices ZenSupply carries, the Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2, so it is not a drop-in substitute where the spec says Grade 1.
13) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod - which should I use?
Concealed rod, as on the Advantex 62/63, runs the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed to vandalism or carts and the door face stays clean. It needs a door prepped to take the rods, which is why it suits new hollow metal doors. Surface vertical rod mounts on the face and is the practical retrofit when the existing door has no concealed prep. ZenSupply carries surface options such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 for that case, though both are wide stile.
14) What is a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod alternative if the Detex narrow stile device does not suit my door?
For a wide stile or standard 36 x 84 opening, the Delaney F9100 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device, and the Delaney 9100 Series is the non-rated Grade 1 equivalent. Marks USA also offers fire rated vertical rod exit-only devices in both 36 x 84 and 48 x 84. All of those are exit-only or standard-stile designs, so they will not substitute where the spec calls for a concealed narrow stile device.
15) Will the Detex 62/63 re-latch reliably on a pair of doors with no mullion?
It is built for mullion-free pairs, and the latching behavior is the reason. The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, so the bolts do not drag or hang up on the strike as the door swings shut. Both bolt assemblies are deadlocking once thrown.
16) I only need a plain non-rated Grade 1 vertical rod device on a 36 inch door, no alarm or delayed egress. What else fits?
The Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP is configured with dogging and electrified choices including EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging, so it suits openings where those are wanted. For a straightforward non-rated Grade 1 vertical rod device on a 36 by 84 inch door, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device in stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 by 84 inch opening, both listed non-fire-rated.
17) Do the Marks USA M9900VR devices come with trim like the Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP?
No. The Marks USA M9900VR in 36 by 84 inch and the M9900VR in 48 by 84 inch are both vertical rod panic exit devices with an exit only function and non-handed operation on the 36 inch unit. The Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP is furnished with dummy pull trim on the outside and is ordered by handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If the opening needs an exterior pull, the Marks devices would require trim sourced separately.
18) What is the difference between a concealed vertical rod device like the Detex 6202WP/6302WP and the surface vertical rod devices it competes with?
The Detex Advantex 6202WP/6302WP is a concealed vertical rod device, with the rods running inside the narrow stile hollow metal door, and it uses a patented mounting plate system with 6-position multi-step action in the top latch. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial USA ED-VR531, and Cal-Royal 9860 are all surface vertical rod devices, with rods exposed on the door face. Concealed rods require a door prepped to accept them, which is why the Detex is templated to the narrow stile hollow metal construction.
19) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device come in?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 630 brushed stainless steel. 628 is the usual match for clear-anodized aluminum openings, 630 for stainless trim and higher-abuse or coastal interiors. Both are available across all sizes, rod configurations, and rating options.
20) Where do I get the door prep template for the Detex Advantex 62/63?
Detex publishes door prep templates covering the Advantex 60/61/62/63 Series, and the installation instruction sheet and catalog page are both available as PDFs. Prep the door before ordering trim and rods, since the concealed rods require routing in the door itself. The patented mounting plate system is what locates the device accurately once the door is prepped.
