Detex 6203CNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 6203CNV/6303CNV work on a pair of narrow stile aluminum storefront doors?
The Advantex 62/63 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors, not aluminum storefront. Detex lists the stile as narrow for hollow metal doors specifically, and because it latches into the frame head (and the threshold on the top-and-bottom-rod version) it handles a pair of doors without a center mullion. For aluminum storefront you want a device built for that stile and prep instead.
2) What is the difference between the top rod only and the top and bottom rod version of the Detex 62/63?
Two rod configurations are offered: top and bottom rod, and top rod only. The 62 Series carries the steel bottom drop bolt with patented deadlocking on both top and bottom bolt assemblies; the 63 Series deadlocks the top only. Top-rod-only is the choice where a bottom bolt would drag on the floor or where the threshold conditions make a bottom rod a maintenance problem; top and bottom gives you two-point latching.
3) Do I have to specify handing for the Detex Advantex concealed vertical rod device?
Yes, you pick right hand reverse or left hand reverse when ordering. The device is also field reversible for handing and field sizeable, so a unit already on the shelf can be adapted if the opening turns out to swing the other way.
4) Can I get the Detex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated versions of the 62/63 Series are offered, so you choose the rating when you order. On a fire rated opening the device must be the fire rated version, and fire exit hardware cannot be dogged, so plan the dogging choice accordingly.
5) What does Key Retracts Latch Pull Trim mean on the Detex 6203CNV?
The outside trim is a pull with a cylinder: turning the key retracts the latch so someone can pull the door open from the outside, then the latch returns when the key is released. There is no outside lever and no always-unlocked outside operation. Inside, the push pad always gives free egress. If you need a lever that stays unlocked for normal traffic, this is the wrong function.
6) What door sizes and heights does the Detex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device widths are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are supplied for either 96 inch or 120 inch door height. The 120 inch rod set is what you order for tall openings. Rods adjust with them installed in the door, which is what makes final latch alignment manageable on site.
7) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if the Detex 62/63 Series does not suit my door?
The Detex Advantex 6203CNV/6303CNV is ordered in either a fire rated or non-rated configuration, so a fire door can be covered directly. If the opening is not a narrow stile hollow metal door, fire rated alternatives include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR for 36 x 84 or the M9900F-VR for 48 x 84, both fire rated exit only devices with no outside trim.
8) What is the difference between the Detex 6203CNV/6303CNV 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 6203CNV/6303CNV is a concealed vertical rod device built for narrow stile hollow metal doors, with rods hidden inside the door and key retracts latch pull trim for outside access. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device from the 88 Series, listed for wide stile doors at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, with the rods running on the face of the door. If the door is a narrow stile hollow metal leaf and you want the rods out of sight, the Detex is the one that fits; if you are working a wide stile door and surface rods are acceptable, the 8827 applies.
9) I need outside key access on a vertical rod exit door - is the Marks USA M9900VR an alternative to the Detex 6203CNV?
Not for that requirement. The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is an exit only device, meaning it releases from the inside with no outside operating trim. The Detex Advantex 6203CNV/6303CNV is supplied with key retracts latch pull trim, so a key on the outside retracts the latch and the pull lets you enter. The Cal-Royal 9860 and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are also exit only. If the opening needs keyed entry, stay with the Detex configuration.
10) What dogging and electrified options do I need to choose for the Detex Advantex 62/63?
Three things get specified. Dogging: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Electrified: none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging. And handing. EX is what you use to signal an access control panel that someone pushed the bar; ED lets you dog and undog the device remotely on a schedule; EE is for a delayed egress opening where code permits it.
11) Is the Detex 62/63 exit device Grade 1, and what finishes can I standardize on across a facility?
BHMA Grade 1, rated commercial, which is the level specified for high-traffic and high-abuse openings. Ten finishes are available: 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. That range makes it straightforward to match existing openings in a building rather than mixing finishes.
12) Why choose a concealed vertical rod device over a surface vertical rod?
Concealed rods run inside the door, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, grabbed or vandalized, and the door face stays clean. The tradeoff is door prep: the door has to be prepped for concealed rods, which usually means ordering the door that way rather than retrofitting. If the door is not prepped for concealed rods, go surface mounted instead, such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Marks USA M9900VR, both surface vertical rod devices.
13) Is a Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 62/63 exit device?
Not an equivalent. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod, non-fire-rated, exit only. The Detex Advantex 62/63 is Grade 1 with concealed rods and key-retracts-latch outside trim, and is available fire rated. If your spec calls Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not meet it. For a Grade 1 surface alternative, look at the Imperial USA ED-VR531, though that one is wide stile and not fire rated.
14) What is a simpler vertical rod exit device if I do not need concealed rods or keyed trim?
For a basic exit only opening, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device with ADA compliance, and the Marks USA M9900VR covers a 36 x 84 door as a non-handed exit only device. Both leave the rods on the door face and omit outside trim. The Detex Advantex 6203CNV/6303CNV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with key retracts latch pull trim, field reversible handing and field sizeable rods, which is the choice when the specification calls for Grade 1 and hidden rods in a narrow stile hollow metal door.
15) How does the Delaney 9100 Series vertical rod device compare with the Detex Advantex 62/63 Series?
Both are Grade 1 vertical rod devices. The Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a heavy duty vertical rod type device sized for a 36 x 84 door in a stainless steel finish and non-fire-rated, with the companion 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) covering the same 36 x 84 opening. The Detex Advantex 6203CNV/6303CNV is a concealed rod device for narrow stile hollow metal doors, ordered in 36 inch or 48 inch device sizes for 96 inch or 120 inch door heights, in fire rated or non-rated form, across ten finishes from 605 polished brass to 695 dark bronze painted.
16) I have a 48 inch wide vertical rod exit door - what are my options besides the Detex 62/63 Series?
The Detex Advantex 6203CNV/6303CNV is available in a 48 inch device size for narrow stile hollow metal doors, in fire rated or non-rated form. For a 48 x 84 door outside that construction, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 inch vertical rod panic device, exit only, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is the 48 x 84 fire rated exit only version. Both omit outside trim, so use them only where keyed entry is not required.
17) Does the Detex Advantex latch reliably when the door slams or is held open?
The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that keeps the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, which is what gives consistent re-latching instead of a bolt firing early and hanging up on the frame. The angled end cap is heavy duty and deflects impact away from the device, which matters on high-abuse openings like schools and warehouses.
18) Are templates and installation instructions available for the Detex 62/63 door prep?
Yes. Detex publishes installation instructions and a catalog page for the 62/63 Series, and door prep templates for the Advantex 60/61/62/63 Series. The patented mounting plate system is the reason prep accuracy is easier on this line, but you still want the template in hand before you cut hollow metal.
