Detex 7008DV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV work on a pair of wood doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly the application. The Advantex 70/71 Series 7008DV/7108DV is a concealed vertical rod device for wide stile wood doors, and because it latches into the head and (on the top-and-bottom version) the threshold rather than into a strike on a mullion, it secures a pair of doors without one. Order it in the wide stile wood door configuration and match handing, which is offered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse.
2) What is the difference between the top rod only and top and bottom rod versions of the Detex 70/71 device?
Two rod configurations are offered: top and bottom rod, or top rod only. The top-and-bottom version uses a steel bottom drop bolt and has patented deadlocking on both the top and bottom bolt assemblies (70 Series). The top-rod-only arrangement carries the deadlocking top bolt (70 and 71 Series) and eliminates the bottom rod and bottom strike, which is the usual choice where floor debris, carpet, or an uneven threshold would foul a bottom bolt.
3) Do I need to order the Detex Advantex handed, or can it be flipped in the field?
Handing is selected at order (Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse), but the device is field reversible, so an installer can change handing on site if the opening turns out to be the other way. The rods are also field sizeable and adjustable with the rods installed in the door.
4) Is the Detex 70/71 Series concealed vertical rod device available fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered on the 70/71 Series. Fire rated openings must not have mechanical dogging, so pair the fire rated build with the less/no dogging option; hex and cylinder dogging belong on non-rated panic openings only.
5) Which electrified options can I specify on the Detex Advantex 70/71 exit device?
Four electrified suffixes are offered besides plain mechanical: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is the one integrators usually want for tying the device into an access control panel; ED lets you dog and undog the device on a schedule instead of by hand, and EE is for delayed egress openings where local code permits it.
6) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod - which should I use on my wood doors?
Concealed rod, as on the Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV, runs the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed to abuse or tampering and the door face stays clean, but the door has to be prepped or ordered for concealed hardware. Surface vertical rod mounts the rods on the face of the door and is the simpler retrofit on an existing leaf with no concealed prep. ZenSupply carries surface rod alternatives including the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile device and the Marks USA M9900VR.
7) I only need exit-only panic hardware on a vertical rod door, no outside lever. What should I use instead of the Detex 7008DV/7108DV?
The Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV is built around a Key Locks/Unlocks Lever function, so it includes outside trim operation. For an exit-only opening with no outside trim, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 x 84 vertical rod panic exit device in exit-only function and non-handed, and the M9900VR 48 x 84 covers the wider leaf. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another exit-only option, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod exit device to the Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest wide stile peer: it is a Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, 3 ft, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference is rod placement and function. The Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV is a concealed vertical rod device in the Advantex 70/71 Series with a Key Locks/Unlocks Lever function, while the 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device. Both carry Grade 1.
9) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if the Detex Advantex is not the right fit?
The Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV is offered in both Fire Rated and Non-Rated configurations. Fire rated alternatives include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR, a fire rated 36 x 84 vertical rod exit device in exit-only function and non-handed. For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is a fire rated 48 x 84 exit-only version.
10) What does the 'key locks/unlocks lever' function on the Detex 7008DV/7108DV actually do?
Outside trim is a lever controlled by a cylinder: turning the key locks or unlocks the lever, so the lever can be left free for normal daytime entry or locked off so the opening becomes exit only from inside. Egress from the push side is always free, as with any panic device.
11) Is the Detex Advantex 70/71 rated Grade 1 for a high traffic commercial opening?
Grade 1 and built for commercial use, with super-heavy-duty construction intended for high-use, high-abuse openings such as schools, hospitals, retail and government buildings. The angled end cap is designed to deflect cart and door-stop damage away from the device.
12) Is there a lower cost Grade 1 vertical rod alternative to the Detex Advantex?
If you do not need concealed rods or the keyed lever function, ZenSupply carries Grade 1 vertical rod devices from Delaney: the 9100 Series in stainless for a 36 x 84 door, the 8100 Series for the same opening, and the F9100 Series when the opening is fire rated. They are supplied for a specific door size rather than field-sized across 96 and 120 inch heights the way the Detex 70/71 rods are.
13) Which dogging option should I pick on the Detex 70/71?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is held down with an Allen key and is the common pick for staff-controlled openings. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can hold the device down, which is what most schools and institutions specify. Choose less/no dogging on any fire rated opening.
14) Do I need special door prep for the Detex Advantex 70/71, and are templates available?
Yes, concealed rods require the door to be routed for the rod channel plus the device mounting. Detex publishes door prep templates and full installation instructions for the 70/71 Series, and the device uses a patented mounting plate that sets the hole locations for you, which is what keeps the prep accurate on a wood leaf where there is no second chance at a mis-drilled hole.
15) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV?
They are not interchangeable on a Grade 1 spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit-only function, and not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV is Grade 1, concealed vertical rod, with a Key Locks/Unlocks Lever function and both Fire Rated and Non-Rated configurations. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 fire exit hardware with outside lever control, the 9860 does not cover it.
16) Concealed vertical rod versus surface vertical rod - how do the Detex Advantex and the Von Duprin 8827 differ for a wood double door?
The Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV is a concealed vertical rod device with wide stile prep for wood doors, so the rods run inside the door and the door must be prepped accordingly; it is field reversible and field sizeable and offered in ten finishes including 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze and 630 Brushed Stainless Steel. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series, 3 ft, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the rods mounted on the door face. Surface rods generally need less door machining; concealed rods keep the hardware out of the door face.
17) Which vertical rod devices are non-handed if I do not want to specify handing?
The Detex Advantex 7008DV/7108DV is ordered by handing, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though the device is field reversible. If you prefer a non-handed unit out of the box, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84 are both listed as non-handed exit-only vertical rod devices.
18) What finishes can I get to match the other exit devices in my building?
Ten BHMA finishes are offered on the 70/71 Series: 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. Most commercial standardization lands on 628 or 630.
19) Why does the Detex Advantex re-latch more reliably than an ordinary vertical rod 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, so the bolts are not dragging or catching on the frame and floor on the way in. That plus the patented deadlocking bolt assemblies is what keeps a busy double door latching consistently instead of bouncing open.
