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

1) Will a Detex Advantex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device work on a pair of wood doors with no mullion?
That is exactly the application. The Advantex 70/71 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for wooden double doors without a mullion, latching at the head and (on top and bottom rod versions) at the threshold, so the pair secures without a center mullion. The wide stile build is specified for wood doors.
2) Do I need a top and bottom rod, or can I order the Detex 70/71 top rod only?
Both are offered. Top and bottom rod devices latch at the head and the floor; top rod only devices latch at the head alone, which is the usual choice where a floor strike is impractical or the threshold will not take one. Note that the patented deadlocking covers the top bolt assemblies on both 70 and 71 Series, but the bottom bolt deadlocking is a 70 Series feature.
3) What door widths and heights does the Detex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are offered for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. The device is also field sizeable, so a 36 inch unit can be cut down for narrower openings.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 7003WSV/7103WSV, and can it be changed in the field?
Handing matters. You order either right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings used on doors that swing out for egress. The device is handed but field reversible, so a unit can be switched on site if the opening turns out to be the other hand.
5) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 70/71, and can I get electric dogging?
Three dogging choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging (which is what fire rated openings require, since mechanical dogging is not permitted on a fire door). Electric dogging is available as the ED electrified option, alongside EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress.
6) I need outside key entry on my vertical rod exit device, not exit only. Which options actually do that?
The Detex 7003WSV/7103WSV is the one to look at, since it comes configured with key retracts latch cylinder trim. Several of the other vertical rod devices ZenSupply stocks are exit only, with no outside trim: the Cal-Royal 9860, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR. Those are fine for a stairwell or back egress door, but they will not let anyone in from the outside.
7) Which vertical rod exit devices besides the Detex Advantex 70/71 are available fire rated?
The Detex Advantex 70/71 is ordered as Fire Rated or Non-Rated on the same model. 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 Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both fire rated and exit only. Note the Marks and the Delaney fire rated units listed here are separate fire rated models rather than an option on the non-rated device, and the Marks units carry no outside key trim.
8) The door is not prepped for concealed rods. What vertical rod device can I use instead of the Detex Advantex 70/71?
Concealed rod devices like the Detex Advantex 70/71 require the door to be bored and routed for rods inside the stile, which is not something you retrofit into an existing door easily. For an existing wood or hollow metal leaf, a surface vertical rod device mounts the rods on the door face instead. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for a 3 ft door at 1-3/4 inch thickness, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for a 36 inch door. Both are listed non fire rated, so confirm the opening's rating requirement before you specify.
9) What is the closest Von Duprin equivalent to the Detex Advantex 7003WSV vertical rod exit device?
The nearest Von Duprin peer is the 8827-3FT, a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, Grade 1, for a 3 ft door and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Both are Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod devices, but the difference is rod placement: the Detex Advantex 70/71 is a concealed vertical rod device, so the rods run inside the door and the door must be prepped for them, while the 8827 mounts its rods on the face of the door. The Von Duprin peer is listed non fire rated, whereas the Detex 70/71 is ordered as either Fire Rated or Non-Rated.
10) I do not need outside key access, just free egress. What is a simpler vertical rod device than the Detex 7003WSV?
If the opening only needs push-to-exit with no outside trim, an exit only device removes the cylinder trim entirely. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device, exit only and non-handed, and the M9900VR-48X84 covers a 48 inch door. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, also exit only, for a 36 inch door. The Detex Advantex 70/71 is specified with Key Retracts Latch cylinder trim, which is what you would give up - it lets a keyholder pull the latches and enter from outside.
11) What does key retracts latch trim do on this Detex exit device?
The 7003WSV/7103WSV is configured with key retracts latch cylinder trim: a key on the outside pulls the latch back so the door can be opened from the pull side, while egress from the inside stays free through the push bar. It is the trim to order when you want controlled outside entry rather than an exit only device.
12) I need to tie the exit doors into the alarm or access control system. What does the Detex 70/71 offer?
Electrified options on the Advantex 70/71 cover most of that: EA gives a hardwired electric alarm at the device, EX provides a request to exit signal switch for access control and alarm shunting, EE is a delayed egress build, and ED is electric dogging for scheduled free access. You pick one when ordering.
13) Will the Detex 70/71 top strike still latch properly with weatherstripping on the frame?
Yes. The top strike adjusts both vertically and horizontally to take up varying weather strip thicknesses and get alignment right. The 6-position multi-step top latch also holds top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, which makes re-latching more consistent on a weatherstripped pair.
14) What are my options for a fire rated vertical rod device on a 36 inch door?
The Advantex 70/71 is available fire rated in 36 inch, with key retracts latch trim. If you only need exit only function, ZenSupply also carries the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84 fire rated vertical rod device and the Delaney F9100 Series fire rated Grade 1 vertical rod for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish. For a 48 inch fire rated opening, the Marks USA M9900F-VR 48 x 84 covers it.
15) Is the Detex 70/71 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital main egress door?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device, the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier, and Detex builds the Advantex line as super heavy duty for high-use, high-abuse openings. It is used in schools, healthcare, retail, offices, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings. If the traffic is lighter, a Grade 2 device such as the Cal-Royal 9860 is a step down in duty rating.
16) Where do I get the door prep dimensions for the Detex Advantex 70/71 before I order the doors?
Prep it off Detex's own paperwork, not by measuring a sample. ZenSupply hosts the 70/71 Series catalog page and the 104948 installation instructions as PDFs, and Detex publishes door prep templates for the Advantex 70/71 Series. Because this is a concealed rod device, get the routing to the wood door shop before the doors are built. The patented mounting plate system is what keeps the field install accurate once prep is right.
17) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 7003WSV on a fire rated wood pair?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod device listed as Grade 2, exit only, and not fire rated. It will not serve an opening that requires a fire rated device, and with no outside trim it cannot replace the Key Retracts Latch cylinder trim function of the Detex Advantex 70/71, which is a Grade 1 device offered in a Fire Rated build. The 9860 suits a non-rated exit-only door where ADA compliant operation is the driver.
18) What Grade 1 vertical rod device should I look at if I do not need electrified options or dogging choices?
The Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) and the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) are Grade 1 vertical rod devices for a 36 by 84 inch door, the 9100 in a stainless steel finish, both listed non fire rated. They are straightforward mechanical devices. The Detex Advantex 70/71 is ordered with a dogging choice of hex, cylinder, or none and an electrified option of hardwired electric alarm, request to exit switch, delayed egress, or electric dogging, so it is the one to specify when the opening ties into access control or an alarm.
19) I need to match an existing finish across a building. How does the Detex Advantex 70/71 compare to other vertical rod devices on finish choice?
The Detex Advantex 70/71 comes 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. By comparison, the Delaney 9100 vertical rod device is cataloged in stainless steel and the Delaney F9100 fire rated device in aluminum. If you are standardizing a facility on a bronze or painted finish, the Detex range is the broader match.
20) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 70/71 vertical rod device come 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, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. That spread lets you match existing brass or bronze hardware in an older building as well as standard aluminum and stainless openings.
