Detex 80 HD 628 95TB 36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 80 Advantex concealed vertical rod device work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That's exactly what it's built for. The Detex 80 Advantex concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold, so it secures hollow metal doors without a mullion. On a pair, you order one device per leaf and each leaf gets its own top and bottom bolt engagement.
2) Does the Detex 80 exit device fit an aluminum storefront door, or only hollow metal?
It's a wide stile device intended for hollow metal doors. Narrow aluminum storefront stiles won't take it. For a wide stile metal opening where a surface mounted rod is acceptable instead of concealed, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod alternative.
3) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod - which should I spec?
Concealed rods, like the Detex 80 Advantex, run inside the door, so nothing is exposed above or below the push bar. That's the choice when appearance matters or when exposed rods get abused, and it requires a door prepped for concealed rods. Surface rods mount on the face of the door and are the simpler retrofit on an existing door with no internal prep, which is where something like the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 fits.
4) What door widths and heights does the Detex 80 Advantex cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod heights are offered for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. The device is field-sizeable, so the rods adjust in the door rather than requiring an exact factory cut.
5) Is the Detex 80 exit device handed, and can I reverse it in the field?
It is handed, and you specify right hand reverse or left hand reverse when ordering. It is also field-reversible, so a device already on the shelf can be converted if the opening turns out to be the other hand.
6) Can I get outside key or lever access on the Detex 80, or is it exit only?
Both. Outside trim choices are 01CV blank plate, 03CV night latch trim for key retraction of the latch from outside, 08DV classroom lever trim for regular outside entry, or exit only with no outside trim at all. Pick 08DV where people need routine access from the outside and 03CV where it's only after hours key entry.
7) Does the Detex 80 come with a delayed egress or request-to-exit option?
Yes, electrified options are a required order selection: None, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ER EX electric latch retraction with request to exit switch. EE is the one for controlled egress on a retail or healthcare opening; ER EX is what you use when access control needs to retract the latch remotely and also monitor egress.
8) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 48 inch door - what are my options besides the Detex 80?
The Detex 80 Advantex covers this with its F - Fire Rated option in the 48 inch size. If you want a surface-rod alternative, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is a fire rated vertical rod panic device for a 48 inch by 84 inch door, supplied exit only. The Detex 80 differs in that it takes outside trim options including 03CV night latch and 08DV classroom lever, so you can specify outside access rather than exit only.
9) Does the Cal-Royal 9860 substitute for the Detex 80 Advantex on a Grade 1 spec?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device, exit only and not fire rated. The Detex 80 Advantex is Grade 1 and super-heavy-duty, and is available with an F - Fire Rated option, so on an opening where the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated egress device the 9860 will not meet it.
10) What is the closest wide stile vertical rod alternative to the Detex 80 Advantex exit device?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer on stile type and grade: it is a Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod exit device in a 3 ft width for 1-3/4 inch doors. The key difference is rod concealment - the Detex 80 Advantex is a concealed vertical rod device with the rods installed in the door, while the 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device with the rods mounted on the door face. The Detex 80 is also super-heavy-duty rated and is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with 96 inch and 120 inch heights.
11) What dogging options are available on the Detex 80, and which one do I want for a door held open during business hours?
Three choices: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Cylinder dogging lets staff hold the latches retracted with a key, which is what you want on a high traffic entry where you don't hand out hex keys. Hex dogging is the lower cost version using an Allen wrench. Less dogging is the one to take on a fire rated door.
12) Is the Detex 80 Advantex tough enough for a school or warehouse exterior door?
It's a Grade 1, super-heavy-duty commercial device, which is the top ANSI/BHMA grade for exit hardware and the level specified for high-use, high-abuse openings like schools, hospitals and industrial exits. One caution for exterior use: it is not a weatherized device, so on a fully exposed opening consider that in the spec.
13) Why do the bottom bolts on my old vertical rod device drag on the floor, and does the Detex 80 fix that?
Older devices drop the bottom bolt as soon as the bar is released, so it scrapes the threshold. The 80 Advantex uses a 6-position multi-step action in the top latch that holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door actually closes, which gives more consistent re-latching and keeps the bolt off the floor. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for weather strip thickness, so you can dial in the engagement.
14) How much door prep does the Detex 80 concealed rod device need?
Less than most concealed devices. Detex uses a patented mounting plate system that locates the hardware and keeps door preparation minimal, and the rods are adjustable once installed in the door. Detex publishes door prep templates and installation instructions for the 80 Series, so cut the door from those before hanging it.
15) For a fire rated 36 inch opening, what is an alternative to the Detex 80 Advantex F option?
The Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 by 84 inch door, exit only and non-handed, and the Delaney F9100 Series (694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish. The Detex 80 Advantex in its F - Fire Rated build differs in being a concealed rod, super-heavy-duty Grade 1 device available in eight finishes from 605 polished brass through 693 black painted.
16) Is there a simpler exit-only vertical rod device if I do not need outside trim or electrified functions?
Yes. The Marks USA M9900VR is a vertical rod panic exit device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, exit only and non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches, also exit only. The Detex 80 Advantex can be ordered Exit Only as well, but it is a handed device (field-reversible) and carries electrified options such as EX request to exit, EE delayed egress, and ER EX electric latch retraction that the exit-only peers do not list.
17) What finishes does the Detex 80 Advantex exit device come in so I can match my other doors?
Eight finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 630 brushed stainless steel, and 693 black painted. 630 and 628 are the usual picks for standardizing across a commercial building.
