Detex 6209DNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Advantex 6209DNV work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 62/63 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors without a mullion. Because the rods latch into the head and (on the top-and-bottom rod version) the threshold rather than into a strike on a mullion, a pair of doors can be secured with both leaves active and nothing in the middle of the opening. If you want a rim device instead, you would have to add a removable mullion to the opening.
2) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod on the Detex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device?
Two rod configurations are offered: top and bottom rod, or top rod only. Top rod only (commonly ordered as less bottom rod) keeps the threshold clear, which matters where there is carpet, floor debris, or a drainage slope that would foul a bottom bolt. The trade-off is security: the patented deadlocking covers the top bolt on both the 62 and 63 Series, but bottom bolt deadlocking is a 62 Series feature, so you only get that with the top-and-bottom rod arrangement.
3) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod exit device available fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered, so it can go on a labeled opening or a plain egress door. Pick the rating option at the time of order; a non-rated device cannot be used on a fire door. Note that fire rated exit devices do not permit mechanical dogging, so if you order the fire rated build plan on the less/no dogging option rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Advantex 62/63 vertical rod device?
You order it right hand reverse or left hand reverse, so yes, specify the hand. Exit devices are always reverse bevel since the door swings out in the direction of egress. The device is also field reversible, which gives you a way out if the wrong hand shows up or the opening changes.
5) How does the key override work on the Detex 6209DNV, and does the door stay locked after I pull the key?
The function is key unlocks lever, locked when key removed. Turning the key releases the outside lever so it retracts the latches for normal entry, and when the key comes out the outside lever goes dead again. The door stays secure without anyone having to remember to relock it, and free egress from the inside is never affected. If you want the outside trim to stay unlocked for a business day instead, order dogging (hex or cylinder) on a non-rated device.
6) Will this Detex device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
It is specified for narrow stile hollow metal doors, not aluminum storefront. Narrow stile in this case refers to the hollow metal application. For an aluminum entrance you need a device rated for that stile and prep; for standard wide stile hollow metal or wood openings, a wide stile surface vertical rod such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is the better match.
7) I need an exit only vertical rod device with no outside trim. Is the Detex 6209DNV the right pick?
No. The 6209DNV/6309DNV is a keyed device, function key unlocks lever with the door locked when the key is removed, so it comes set up for outside entry trim. For exit only with no outside operation, look at the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 inch or the 48 inch M9900VR-48X84, the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR-36X84, the Cal-Royal 9860, or the Imperial USA ED-VR531, all of which we list as exit only.
8) What electrified options can I get on the Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed vertical rod device?
Four electrified builds are offered plus a plain mechanical version: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is what you use to signal an access control panel or shunt an alarm on authorized egress. ED lets you dog and undog the device remotely on a schedule instead of walking to each door with a hex key. EE delayed egress is for controlled openings where local code permits it.
9) What is the difference between the Detex 6209DNV/6309DNV and a surface vertical rod device like the Von Duprin 8827-3FT?
The Detex Advantex 62/63 Series 6209DNV/6309DNV is a concealed vertical rod device, with the rods running inside the door, and it is built for narrow stile hollow metal doors. 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. Both are Grade 1. Door prep differs entirely: concealed rods require the door to be prepped and routed for internal rods, while a surface device mounts rods on the face of the door, so the two are not interchangeable on an existing opening.
10) Which vertical rod exit device should I use on a fire rated door if the Detex narrow stile device does not fit my door?
The Detex 6209DNV/6309DNV is offered in a fire rated configuration, but it is specific to narrow stile hollow metal doors. For a fire rated vertical rod device on other doors, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is Grade 1 fire rated for a 36 inch x 84 inch door in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR fire rated 36 inch x 84 inch and the MARM9900F-VR at 48 inch x 84 inch, both exit only. Note the Marks and Delaney fire rated devices carry no outside key-unlocks-lever trim function.
11) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 series Grade 1?
Grade 1 commercial, which is the level a school, hospital, or high traffic office corridor should be specified at. Detex calls the construction super-heavy-duty for high-use, high-abuse openings. If a Grade 2 vertical rod is acceptable for a lower traffic non-rated door, the Cal-Royal 9860 is the Grade 2 heavy duty alternative we carry.
12) Will the Detex 62/63 re-latch reliably on a pair of doors that get slammed all day?
That is what the 6-position multi-step top latch is for. It holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, so the bolts are not dragging or bouncing off the strike and frame on the way in. Combined with the patented deadlocking of the top bolt, re-latching stays consistent in high-traffic openings rather than leaving a door unsecured after a hard close.
13) Do I need special door prep for the Detex Advantex 62 concealed vertical rod, and where do I get the template?
Yes, the door has to be prepped for concealed rods, which means routing and drilling in the hollow metal door rather than just surface mounting. Detex publishes door prep templates for the Advantex 60/61/62/63 Series along with the installation instructions and catalog page, and the patented mounting plate system is what keeps the hole locations accurate. Pull the template before the doors are ordered or prepped, not after.
14) Is there a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device that will retrofit an existing 36 x 84 door without concealed rod prep?
If the door is not prepped for concealed rods, a surface vertical rod is the practical retrofit. Grade 1 fire rated options we carry at 36 x 84 include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) in aluminum finish and the Marks USA M9900FVR. For non-rated Grade 1 at the same size, the Delaney 9100 Series in stainless and the Delaney 8100 Series are both listed.
15) What is a simpler vertical rod exit device if I do not need outside trim or electrified options?
For a push-to-exit-only opening, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 inch x 84 inch is exit only and non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device for a 36 inch wide stile door, also exit only. The Detex 6209DNV/6309DNV is the more configured option: it is handed right hand reverse or left hand reverse, offers hex, cylinder or no dogging, and can be ordered with EA hardwired alarm, EX request to exit, EE delayed egress or ED electric dogging.
16) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 an equivalent substitute for the Detex 6209DNV/6309DNV?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, exit only, and not fire rated. The Detex 6209DNV/6309DNV is Grade 1, offered in fire rated and non-rated builds, uses concealed rods in a narrow stile hollow metal door, and has the key unlocks lever function with the door locked when the key is removed. If the specification calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
17) I need a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a standard 36 x 84 door. What are my options besides the Detex Advantex?
For a 36 inch x 84 inch opening, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device in stainless steel, non-rated; the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is Grade 1 and non-rated; and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device for wide stile doors. The Detex 6209DNV/6309DNV covers 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes against 96 inch and 120 inch door heights, so it is the choice when the door is taller than 84 inches.
18) Can I use a top rod only device instead of a top and bottom rod vertical rod exit device?
The Detex 6209DNV/6309DNV is built both ways: a top and bottom rod device and a top rod only device. Top rod only removes the bottom bolt and the floor strike from the opening, which suits doors where a bottom latch at the threshold is a problem. If you need a two-point latch on a non-rated 48 inch door instead, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is an exit only vertical rod device at 48 inch x 84 inch.
19) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 6209DNV come in, and can I match the other 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 steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. Match by the BHMA number stamped or specified on your existing hardware rather than by name, since 630 and 628 in particular look similar at a distance but are different materials.
20) Which vertical rod exit device gives me the widest finish selection for matching hardware across a building?
The Detex Advantex 6209DNV/6309DNV is offered in ten finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. Among the comparable devices, the Delaney 9100 (DLY-692301) is a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 (DLY-694300) is aluminum, each a single finish per part number.
