Detex 6214DNV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV need a mullion to secure a pair of doors?
No mullion needed. It's a concealed vertical rod device, latching into the head and, on the top-and-bottom-rod version, the threshold, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. Detex builds this one specifically for narrow stile hollow metal openings without a mullion. If you'd rather use a rim device, that's the application where a removable mullion is required.
2) Can I get the Detex Advantex 62/63 device as top rod only, without a bottom rod?
Yes. Two configurations are offered: top and bottom rod, or top rod only. Top rod only (commonly spec'd as less bottom rod) keeps the threshold clear, which helps on openings with carpet, uneven floors, or where a bottom strike is a trip and maintenance problem. Note the patented deadlocking covers the top bolt on both the 62 and 63 Series and the bottom bolt on the 62 Series, so if bottom bolt deadlocking matters to your security spec, you need the bottom rod configuration.
3) Is the Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV available fire rated for a labeled door?
Yes, it's offered in both fire rated and non-rated builds, so you pick the one your opening calls for. Order the fire rated version for a labeled hollow metal door. Keep in mind that fire exit hardware cannot be dogged down, so pair the rating choice with your dogging selection.
4) What does "outside lever always active" mean on this Detex exit device?
The outside lever on the 6214DNV/6314DNV is always free to retract the latches, so anyone can pull the door open from the outside at any time. There is no key or cylinder control of the outside trim in this function. It's used where the door has to push out for egress but does not need to be locked from the outside, such as interior cross-corridor or stair discharge into an occupied space. If you need the outside locked, you want a keyed lever function instead.
5) What door sizes and heights does the Detex Advantex 62/63 concealed rod device cover?
Device widths come in 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are built for 96 inch or 120 inch door heights, so 10 foot tall doors are covered without a special order. The device is also field-sizeable, so the crossbar can be cut down for narrower leaves during install.
6) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 6214DNV, and which should I pick?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard low-cost way to hold the latches retracted during business hours. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog it, which is what most schools and institutions specify to stop tenants hex-dogging doors open. Order less/no dogging on fire rated openings. Electric dogging is also available as an electrified option if you want the device dogged on a time schedule.
7) Can the Detex 62/63 exit device do delayed egress or send a request-to-exit signal to my access control?
Yes, both are factory options. The electrified choices are EE delayed egress, EX request to exit signal switch, EA hardwired electric alarm, ED electric dogging, or none. EX is the one that ties into an access control panel to shunt an alarm on legitimate exit. EE is the 15 second delayed egress build for controlled perimeter doors. These are built into the device, so pick the option at order time rather than adding it later.
8) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod, which should I spec?
Concealed rod, like the Detex Advantex 6214DNV/6314DNV, runs the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed to vandalism or carts and the door face stays clean. The tradeoff is the door must be prepped for concealed rods, which usually means ordering it that way or having an existing CVR prep. Surface vertical rod puts the rods on the face of the door, which is far easier to retrofit onto an existing leaf and simpler to service. If you are replacing hardware on doors you are not changing, surface rod devices such as the Von Duprin 8827 wide stile or the Cal-Royal 9860 are the retrofit-friendly route.
9) What are the alternatives to the Detex 62/63 if my door is wide stile, not narrow?
The Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV is a narrow stile device and won't suit a wide stile leaf. For wide stile vertical rod, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod in 36 inch, exit only. Both are surface rod rather than concealed, so the door face prep is different.
10) What is the difference between the Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT?
Both are Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices, but they suit different openings. The Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV is a concealed vertical rod device for narrow stile hollow metal doors with the outside lever always active, and it is ordered in fire rated or non-rated builds with top and bottom rods or top rod only. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is an 88 Series wide stile surface vertical rod device, 3 ft, for 1-3/4 inch doors, listed non-rated. Concealed rods require a door prepped to accept them, which is the deciding factor between the two.
11) If the opening does not need outside lever trim, what vertical rod device can be used instead of the Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV?
The Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV is configured with the outside lever always active, meaning the outside lever always retracts the latch. For an opening where the outside is not meant to be entered, an exit only device is the simpler build: the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 is a non-handed exit only vertical rod panic device, and the M9900VR 48 by 84 covers the wider leaf. The Cal-Royal 9860 is also an exit only surface vertical rod device. Exit only devices have no outside trim, so keyed or lever entry from the pull side is not possible.
12) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated alternatives to the Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV Advantex?
The Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV is ordered in either a Fire Rated or Non-Rated build. If a fire rated vertical rod device is needed on a different opening, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door in aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod device at 36 by 84 and the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84. Both Marks devices are exit only, while the Detex carries an outside lever.
13) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 an equivalent substitute for the Detex Advantex 62/63 Series vertical rod device?
They are not interchangeable on a Grade 1 specification. The Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV is Grade 1 certified, while the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device with no fire rating and an exit only function. If the drawing calls for ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not satisfy it. For a Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod alternative, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) and 8100 Series are both Grade 1 devices for a 36 by 84 door.
14) Do I have to order the Detex 62/63 Series handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
Handing is a required selection, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings that apply to an outswinging door with a panic device. The device itself is field-reversible, so handing can be corrected on site if the wrong one lands on the job.
15) Why does this Detex device relatch more reliably than a typical vertical rod exit device?
The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed. That stops the bolts dragging on the frame and floor and gives you consistent relatching, which is the usual failure point on vertical rod hardware in high traffic. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for weather strip thickness, so you can dial in alignment without shimming.
16) Is the Detex Advantex 62/63 Series Grade 1, and is that enough for a school or hospital exit?
Grade 1 is the rating, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability level for exit hardware and the level normally required on institutional and high-traffic commercial openings. The device is commercial-duty and built for high-use, high-abuse service, which is the category schools, healthcare, and government facilities spec. Other Grade 1 vertical rod options if you're comparing include the Delaney 9100 Series, the fire rated Delaney F9100 Series, and the Von Duprin 88 Series.
17) For a 48 inch leaf, what vertical rod devices compare with the Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV?
The Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV Advantex is field-sizeable and offered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. Among other vertical rod devices, Marks USA lists the M9900VR at 48 by 84 and the fire rated M9900F-VR at 48 by 84; both are exit only. The Delaney and Imperial USA vertical rod devices in the same family are built for 36 by 84 doors, so they do not cover the wider leaf.
18) Which vertical rod device should I standardize on across a facility if I need matching architectural finishes?
The Detex 6214DNV/6314DNV Advantex is offered in ten finishes including 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 626-class brushed options such as 630 brushed stainless steel, 628 brushed aluminum, and painted 693 black and 695 dark bronze, which makes it straightforward to match across an openings package. By comparison, the Delaney vertical rod devices are catalogued in single finishes, the 9100 Series in stainless steel and the F9100 Series in aluminum.
19) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 62/63 come in for matching other doors in my 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 a commercial building standardizing across openings, 630 brushed stainless and 628 brushed aluminum are the usual specs; 689/695 style painted finishes suit service and back-of-house doors.
20) Does the Detex 62/63 come with templates and instructions for door prep?
Yes. Detex publishes installation instructions and the 62/63 Series catalog page, and both are linked on the product record, plus door prep templates for the Advantex 60/61/62/63 series. The device also uses a patented mounting plate system that locates the hardware for you, which cuts down layout errors on hollow metal prep.
