Detex 7001DV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV work on a pair of wood doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Advantex 70/71 Series concealed vertical rod device latches into the head and the threshold rather than into a center post, so a pair of wood doors without a mullion can be secured with a device on each leaf. The wide stile construction is specified for wood doors.
2) Can I get the Detex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device without a bottom rod?
Yes. The vertical rod choice is either a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device. Top rod only is the usual pick where the floor is uneven, carpeted, or wet and a bottom strike would foul. Note the patented deadlocking covers the top bolt assemblies on both the 70 and 71 Series, while the bottom bolt deadlocking is a 70 Series feature.
3) Does the Detex Advantex 70/71 come in a fire rated version?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered on the 7001DV/7101DV. Pick fire rated for a labeled wood door opening; dogging is not permitted on a fire door, so pair a fire rated device with the less/no dogging option.
4) What door widths and heights does the Detex 7001DV/7101DV cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod kits are supplied for either 96 inch or 120 inch door height. The device is field-sizeable and the rods adjust while installed in the door, so minor trimming to the actual opening happens on site.
5) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Advantex 70/71 exit device?
Yes, order it right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Exit devices on out-swinging doors are always reverse bevel. The device is handed but field-reversible, so a wrong call can be corrected on site rather than returned.
6) What does the blank escutcheon mean, can I still get in from outside?
Blank escutcheon means the outside trim is a plate with no lever and no cylinder, so the 7001DV/7101DV is exit only from the inside. Anyone needing keyed or lever entry from the exterior on that leaf needs a different trim function rather than the blank escutcheon build.
7) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod, which should I use on my wood doors?
Concealed rod, like the Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV, runs the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed to abuse or vandalism and the opening looks clean, but the door has to be prepped for it, which normally means ordering the door that way. Surface vertical rod mounts the rods on the face of the door and is the retrofit answer when the existing door has no concealed prep. For a surface device, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile option and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch surface device.
8) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door. What are my options besides the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 70/71 Series is offered in both Fire Rated and Non-Rated builds, in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes. If you want a simpler surface applied alternative sized for that exact opening, the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in an exit only, non-handed configuration, and the Delaney F9100 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish. The Detex differs in that it is handed, field-reversible, and specified by door handing at the time of order.
9) What is the difference between the Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV and the Von Duprin 8827 vertical rod device?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod exit devices, but the rods run differently. The Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV is a concealed vertical rod device, with the rods hidden inside the door, and is built for wood doors with wide stile construction. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device with a 3 ft rail, non fire rated, and lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. If the door is already prepped for concealed rods or the architect specified a clean face, the Detex is the match; if you are retrofitting an existing door with no internal raceway, a surface rod device like the 8827 avoids routing the door.
10) Which wide stile vertical rod device should I use if the Detex Advantex concealed rod will not work on my door?
If the door cannot be routed for concealed rods, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 36 inch surface vertical rod exit device in a wide stile, exit only configuration, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both keep the wide stile footprint the Detex Advantex 70/71 Series uses, so the rail sits on the same part of the door, with the rods exposed on the face instead of hidden inside.
11) Can I use an exit only vertical rod device in place of the Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV?
Only if the opening truly needs no outside operation. The Cal-Royal 9860, Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Marks USA M9900VR are all listed with an exit only function, meaning there is no outside trim to pull the door open from the exterior. The Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV is supplied with a blank escutcheon, which likewise gives no outside operation but covers the exterior trim prep. If the door needs keyed or lever entry from outside, none of these is the right pick.
12) Do any comparable vertical rod exit devices offer delayed egress or electric dogging like the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 70/71 Series can be ordered 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 comparable vertical rod devices from Cal-Royal, Delaney, Imperial USA, Marks USA, and Von Duprin are catalogued as mechanical exit devices. If the opening is tied to an access control or alarm system, specify the electrified option on the Detex rather than trying to add it to a mechanical device.
13) Which dogging option should I choose on the Detex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging holds the pushbar down with an allen key for daytime free passage and is the common pick on non-rated openings. Cylinder dogging swaps that for a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog the device. Less/no dogging is what a fire rated opening requires. Electric dogging is handled separately under the electrified options.
14) What electrified options can I add to the Detex Advantex 7001DV?
Four, plus none: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is what an access control integrator uses to shunt an alarm on authorized egress; EE is for openings where a delayed egress is permitted by code; ED lets the device be dogged and undogged from a schedule or a switch instead of by hand.
15) Is the Detex 70/71 Advantex device Grade 1?
Grade 1, commercial duty. Detex builds the Advantex line for high-use, high-abuse openings, with an angled end cap that deflects cart and door-stop impact away from the device. That is the grade an institutional spec normally calls for on a main egress door.
16) Why do my current vertical rod doors fail to re-latch at the top, and does the Detex Advantex fix that?
Rods that fire before the door is fully closed catch the strike and leave the opening unsecured. The Advantex 70/71 uses a 6-position multi-step top latch that holds both top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, which is what gives more consistent re-latching. The rods are also adjustable with the device still in the door, so a lazy top bolt can be tuned without pulling the device.
17) What is a good fire rated vertical rod device for a 48 inch wide door?
The Detex Advantex 70/71 Series covers 48 inch devices and is available Fire Rated, with door heights of 96 inch and 120 inch. If you want a surface mounted option at that width, the Marks USA M9900F-VR is a 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated vertical rod panic device in an exit only configuration. The Detex is a concealed rod device and needs the door prepped for internal rods; the Marks is applied to the door face.
18) Is there a lower grade or lighter duty vertical rod exit device than the Detex Advantex 70/71?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, non fire rated, in an exit only function with ADA compliance. The Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for commercial use. Choose by the opening: a Grade 1 concealed device suits high-use, high-abuse traffic and fire rated openings, while the Grade 2 surface device is intended for lighter duty, non-rated exit only doors.
19) Do any of the vertical rod alternatives to the Detex Advantex come non-handed?
The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device listed as exit only and non-handed, as is the fire rated M9900FVR at the same size. The Detex Advantex 7001DV/7101DV is ordered by handing, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though it is field-reversible. If you are stocking one device for multiple openings without knowing the swing, a non-handed unit removes that decision at the counter.
20) I need a non-rated Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door. What compares to the Detex Advantex 70/71?
The Detex Advantex 70/71 Series is offered in a Non-Rated build at 36 inch, in either a top and bottom rod or top rod only configuration. Comparable non-rated Grade 1 vertical rod devices sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door include the Delaney 9100 Series in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney 8100 Series. Those are ordered as a fixed door size, while the Detex is field-sizeable and specified by device size, door height, handing and finish.
21) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 70/71 come in to match the rest of my doors?
Ten standard 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 matching an existing building, 630 and 628 are the usual commercial defaults.
22) Where do I get the door prep dimensions for the Detex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device?
Detex publishes the installation instructions and the catalog page for the 70/71 Series, and both are linked on the product record. Concealed rod devices need the door routed and prepped before hanging, so pull the template before the doors are ordered, not after. Detex's patented mounting plate system is what locates the device accurately once the prep is cut.
