Detex 7003CV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 7003CV work on a pair of wood doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly what the 70/71 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for: wood double doors without a mullion. The rods latch into the frame head and, on the top-and-bottom configuration, into the threshold, so each leaf secures itself and no mullion is needed between them. Order two devices, one per leaf, and pick handing for each.
2) What is the difference between the top-rod-only and the top-and-bottom-rod version of the Detex 70/71 Series?
Two rod configurations are offered. Top and bottom uses a steel bottom drop bolt with patented deadlocking on both the top and bottom bolt assemblies (the 70 Series arrangement). Top rod only drops the bottom bolt entirely, which is the less-bottom-rod approach people choose when the floor is uneven, the threshold is carpeted, or they want to stop sweeping dirt into a bottom strike. The 71 Series keeps the patented deadlocking on the top bolt.
3) Does the Detex Advantex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device come fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated versions are built. Pick the fire rated one for a labeled wood door opening, and note that fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged down, so a hex or cylinder dogging selection belongs only on a non-rated opening.
4) What does Key Retracts Latch Pull trim do on the Detex 7003CV?
The pull trim gives outside access: turning the key retracts the latches so the door can be pulled open from the outside, while the push bar inside always allows free egress. It is a pull, not a lever, so there is no outside latching function other than the key. If you need the outside trim to stay unlocked for periods, look at a dogging option on a non-rated door instead.
5) Do I have to order the Detex 70/71 Series handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
Handing is specified on the order, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device is field reversible and field sizeable. That means a distributor or a large property can stock one configuration and adapt it on site rather than carrying both hands in every finish.
6) What door widths and heights does the Detex Advantex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, with rod lengths built for 96 inch or 120 inch door heights. The 120 inch option is what you specify for tall openings so you are not splicing rods. The device is also field sizeable, so a 48 inch unit can be cut down for a narrower leaf.
7) What dogging and electrified options do I need to choose when ordering the Detex 7003CV?
Three decisions on the order form. Dogging: hex key, cylinder, or none. Electrified: none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging. And handing, right or left hand reverse. EE delayed egress and EA are the choices for a controlled exit where you want local annunciation; EX is what an integrator specifies when the access control panel needs a REX input.
8) Will the Detex Advantex 70/71 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The 70/71 Series covered here is wide stile, built for wood doors. A narrow stile aluminum glass front leaf does not have the rail width for it, and you would be looking at a narrow stile device instead. For a wide stile application in another brand, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) I need exit only, no outside trim. Is the Detex 7003CV the right model?
Not if you truly want no outside access. The 7003CV/7103CV is configured with key retracts latch pull trim, meaning an outside pull with key access. For a pure exit only vertical rod device, the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 inch or the M9900VR 48 inch are exit only, and the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 inch and MARM9900F-VR 48 inch are the fire rated exit only versions.
10) What surface vertical rod exit device can I use instead of the Detex 7003CV/7103CV when the door cannot be routed for concealed rods?
The Detex Advantex 7003CV/7103CV is a concealed vertical rod device, which requires the door to be prepped internally for the rods. If the door cannot take that prep, a surface vertical rod device runs the rods on the face of the door instead. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series, built for 1-3/4 inch doors, at 3 ft. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is also a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, from the ED-500 Series, at 36 inches. Both are wide stile like the Detex, so the stile requirement carries over; only the rod routing changes.
11) I only need free egress with no outside key access - is there a simpler vertical rod device than the Detex 7003CV/7103CV?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 7003CV/7103CV is ordered with key retracts latch pull trim, so it includes outside key control of the latch. If the opening needs no outside operation at all, an exit-only vertical rod device is the simpler build: the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches is exit only and non-handed, and the M9900VR at 48 by 84 inches covers the wider leaf. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 exit-only wide stile surface vertical rod device. Exit-only means push bar out, no outside trim - so verify no one needs keyed re-entry through that door before you drop the trim.
12) Which alternatives to the Detex 7003CV/7103CV are fire rated for a labeled wood door opening?
The Detex Advantex 7003CV/7103CV can be ordered in a fire rated or a non-rated build, so the rated version covers a labeled opening directly. Among other vertical rod devices, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated exit-only vertical rod device at 36 by 84 inches, with the MARM9900F-VR covering 48 by 84 inches. Note that fire rated vertical rod openings normally require the top and bottom rod build rather than top rod only.
13) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex 7003CV/7103CV?
No, they are not interchangeable on a spec-driven opening. The Detex Advantex 7003CV/7103CV is Grade 1 and available in a fire rated build with key retracts latch pull trim. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, exit only, and not fire rated. So if the drawing calls Grade 1, or the door carries a label, or the door needs outside key control, the 9860 will not satisfy it. It is a candidate only on a non-rated opening where Grade 2 and egress-only operation are acceptable.
14) What Grade 1 vertical rod device should I look at for a standard 36 by 84 inch non-rated opening instead of the Detex 7003CV/7103CV?
The Detex Advantex 7003CV/7103CV is built in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights, so an 84 inch door sits outside that height range. For a 36 by 84 inch non-rated leaf, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device in a 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 door. Both are non-rated, so confirm the opening carries no label.
15) Is the Detex concealed vertical rod device good enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
It is Grade 1, commercial rated, super heavy duty, and the catalogued applications include educational facilities, healthcare, retail, offices, industrial, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. The angled end cap deflects cart and traffic damage away from the device, and the 6-position multi-step top latch keeps both bolts retracted until the door closes so it re-latches consistently under heavy use.
16) What is the difference between a concealed vertical rod device like the Detex 70/71 and a surface vertical rod device?
Concealed rods run inside the door, so nothing is exposed on the face of the leaf, which is why it gets specified where appearance matters or where rods would be kicked and bent. It requires the door to be prepped and routed for the rods, so it suits new doors or factory-prepped replacements. Surface vertical rod devices mount on the face and are simpler to retrofit onto an existing door: the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial USA ED-VR531, and Cal-Royal 9860 are surface rod alternatives.
17) Does the top strike on the Detex 70/71 adjust for weatherstripping on an exterior pair?
Yes. The top strike adjusts vertically and also for varying weather strip thicknesses, which is what lets you dial in consistent latching on an exterior pair where the sweep and head seal push the leaf out of plane. Combined with the 6-position multi-step top latch that holds the bolts retracted until the door is closed, it stops the common problem of a rod device failing to relatch on a windy opening.
18) Is there a Grade 1 vertical rod exit device that is a simpler alternative to the Detex Advantex?
Several Grade 1 vertical rod devices sit alongside it. Delaney 8100 Series and 9100 Series are Grade 1 non-rated units built for a 36 by 84 door, with the 9100 offered in stainless finish; the Delaney F9100 Series is the Grade 1 fire rated equivalent in aluminum finish. Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface rod device. If Grade 2 is acceptable on a non-rated interior opening, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod device.
19) How hard is the Detex 70/71 concealed rod device to install on a wood door?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate system that sets the device location and hole pattern for you, which is the part that normally goes wrong on concealed rod installs. You still need to prep and rout the door for the concealed rods, so work from the Detex door prep templates and the printed installation instructions before you cut anything, and confirm thickness, stile width, and handing against the template.
20) Do any of the alternatives to the Detex 7003CV/7103CV avoid the handing decision?
The Detex Advantex 7003CV/7103CV is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the handed device is field reversible. If you want to avoid specifying hand entirely, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches are both non-handed vertical rod exit devices - but both are exit only, so you give up the outside key trim the Detex carries.
21) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 70/71 Series come in, and can I match existing hardware in my building?
Ten BHMA finishes are produced: 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. Match the BHMA number off your existing device rather than the name, since 626 style satin chrome is not among them; 630 brushed stainless is the usual pick for matching modern commercial openings.
