Detex 8001DV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 8001DV work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 80/81 Series concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and, on the top-and-bottom-rod version, at the threshold, so it secures wide stile hollow metal doors without mullions. That is the reason to choose a vertical rod device over a rim device, which needs a strike on a mullion or on the adjacent inactive leaf.
2) What is the difference between the 80 Series and 81 Series Detex Advantex vertical rod device?
On the 8001DV/8101DV, the difference is how many bolts you get. The 80 Series is a top and bottom bolt device with patented deadlocking on both the top and bottom bolt assemblies. The 81 Series is top bolt only, with deadlocking at the top. Top-rod-only is the usual pick where a bottom bolt and floor strike would be a trip or debris problem, such as exterior doors, retail entries, and food service.
3) Will this Detex device fit an aluminum storefront door?
No. The Advantex 8001DV/8101DV is built for wide stile hollow metal doors. Aluminum storefront and glass front doors have narrow stiles and need a narrow stile device instead. If you are working hollow metal or wood with a wide stile, this is the right family.
4) Do I need to order the Detex Advantex vertical rod device handed?
You specify handing 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 wrong hand shows up or the opening changes.
5) What door heights does the Detex 8001DV cover, and do the rods need cutting?
Rods are supplied for 96 inch doors or for tall openings up to 120 inches. The rods are field sizeable and adjustable with the rods installed in the door, so an installer can trim and fine tune on site rather than sending the device back.
6) Does the Detex 8001DV blank escutcheon version come with outside trim or a lever?
No. The blank escutcheon build is a plate on the outside with no lever, no cylinder, and no outside operation, so the door is exit only from inside and must be pulled from outside. If you need key or lever access from the pull side, order a trim function instead of the blank escutcheon.
7) If the door is not prepped for concealed rods, what vertical rod exit device should be used instead of the Detex 8001DV/8101DV?
Use a surface vertical rod device. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod device in Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a 36 inch Grade 1 surface vertical rod device, also wide stile, exit only. Both run the rods on the door face, so no internal routing for concealed rods is needed. The Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV is a concealed vertical rod device and expects the door to be prepped accordingly.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod exit device to the Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in a 3 ft size for 1-3/4 inch doors. The key difference is rod concealment - the Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV is a concealed vertical rod device in a wide stile configuration for hollow metal doors, while the Von Duprin 8827-3FT runs surface rods. Concealed rods require the door to be prepped for them; surface rods mount on the door face.
9) Can a Marks USA M9900VR be used in place of the Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV if the opening needs an alarm or delayed egress?
No. The Marks USA M9900VR is a vertical rod panic exit device, exit only and non-handed, with no electrified options listed. The Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV can be ordered with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. If the spec calls for any of those functions, the M9900VR is not a substitute.
10) Is the Detex Advantex 80/81 Series Grade 1?
Yes, Grade 1 and commercial rated, which is what most school, healthcare, and government specs call for on panic hardware. Among vertical rod alternatives ZenSupply carries, the Von Duprin 8827 wide stile surface vertical rod is also Grade 1, while the Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2.
11) What electrified options can I specify on the Detex 8001DV exit device?
Four, plus none: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is the one integrators pick to signal an access control panel on egress; EE is for controlled openings where code permits delayed egress; ED lets the access system dog and undog the device on a schedule.
12) What is a cheaper fire rated vertical rod exit device if the Detex Advantex is more than I need?
If you want a fire rated vertical rod device without the concealed-rod prep, ZenSupply carries the Delaney F9100 Series in Grade 1 fire rated for a 36 x 84 door, and the Marks USA M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84. Both are exit-only devices, so if you need outside trim to pull the door open they are not a match.
13) Will this device re-latch reliably on a door that gets slammed all day?
That is what the 6-position multi-step action in the top latch is for: it holds the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, so the bolts are not dragging on the frame and re-latching is more consistent. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for weather strip thickness, which is where most vertical rod re-latching complaints actually come from.
14) The Marks USA M9900VR is non-handed - does the Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV need handing specified?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the device is field reversible. The Marks USA M9900VR is described as non-handed, so one part covers either swing out of the box. If you are stocking a single device for mixed openings, that is the practical difference.
15) Do any alternatives to the Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV offer the same range of architectural finishes?
The Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV is offered in ten finishes, including 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. Among the peers, finish is fixed per part number: the Delaney 9100 Series device comes in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 Series in an aluminum finish. If you need to match brass or bronze across a set of doors, the Advantex finish range is the one to work from.
16) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod exit device than the Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV for a basic exit only opening?
If the opening only needs egress with no trim, alarm or dogging options, the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 vertical rod device sized for a 36 by 84 inch door, non fire rated, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device, exit only and non fire rated. Both come as a fixed configuration. The Detex Advantex 8001DV/8101DV is configured across dogging, electrified options, handing, rating, door height and top-only or top and bottom rod.
17) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 80/81 Series come in for matching existing doors?
Ten: 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 a building already standardized on aluminum-look hardware, 628 is the common match; 630 is the usual pick alongside stainless push plates and closers.
18) Are door prep templates available for the Detex 80/81 Series before I cut the door?
Yes. Detex publishes door prep templates for the Advantex 80/81/82/83 Series along with the 80/81 Series catalog page and installation instructions, and the mounting plate system is designed so the hole locations land accurately the first time. Prep the door from the template before ordering rods for a 96 or 120 inch opening.
