Detex 8002CV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 80/81 Series concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and, in the top-and-bottom-rod configuration, at the threshold, so it secures wide stile hollow metal doors without a mullion. If you need a rim device instead, that route requires a removable mullion on a pair.
2) Is the Detex 8002CV/8102CV concealed rod device right for an aluminum storefront door?
No. It is built for wide stile hollow metal doors. Narrow stile aluminum storefront leaves do not have the stile width for this device, so you want a narrow stile exit device for that opening.
3) Does the Detex Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod exit device come fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated versions of the 8002CV/8102CV are built. Pick the rated version for any labeled opening; the non-rated one is for egress only. Note that fire rated exit devices are supplied without mechanical dogging, so specify dogging accordingly.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering the Detex 8002CV/8102CV?
Six things: device size (36 inch or 48 inch), door height (96 inch or 120 inch), top rod only or top and bottom rod, fire rated or non-rated, finish, and handing (right hand reverse or left hand reverse). Dogging is also a required choice, hex, cylinder, or less dogging, along with any electrified option.
5) Is this Detex exit device handed, and can it be flipped in the field?
It is handed, ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the mechanism is field-reversible, so a crew that gets the wrong hand on site can turn it around rather than re-order. Rods are also field-sizeable and adjustable with the rods installed in the door.
6) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod?
Top and bottom rod (80 Series) bolts into the frame head and the threshold and gets patented deadlocking on both bolt assemblies. Top rod only (81 Series) deletes the bottom rod and bolt, which keeps the floor clear where water, snow, or debris would foul a bottom strike; deadlocking is on the top bolt.
7) Does the 8002CV/8102CV have an outside lever or key trim?
No lock function outside. This configuration carries dummy pull trim, which is a fixed pull for pulling the door closed, with no latch retraction from the outside. If you need keyed or lever entry from the pull side, order a different trim function in the 80/81 Series.
8) Is this Detex device Grade 1, and how does it compare to a Von Duprin 8827 or a Cal-Royal 9860?
The Advantex 80/81 is Grade 1. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is also a Grade 1 wide stile device but with surface-mounted vertical rods rather than concealed, and it is listed non-rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, non-rated, exit only, which is a lighter-traffic option. Concealed rods, like the Detex, keep the rods out of sight and out of harm's way on a high-abuse door.
9) What is a Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod alternative to the Detex 8002CV/8102CV when the rods can be surface mounted instead of concealed?
The Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV runs its vertical rods concealed inside a wide stile hollow metal door. If the opening allows exposed rods, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device for a 3 ft door, listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Surface rods mount to the face of the door rather than requiring the door to be prepped for internal rod channels, which matters on retrofits where the existing door has no concealed rod prep.
10) What should I use instead of the Detex 8002CV/8102CV if the door needs no outside trim at all?
The Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV is configured with dummy pull trim, so there is a pull on the outside face even though it does not retract the latches. For an opening with nothing on the outside, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with an exit only function, and the Marks USA M9900VR is an exit only vertical rod panic device for a 36 x 84 door, non-handed, with M9900VR-48X84 for 48 inch doors. The Cal-Royal 9860 is also an exit only device.
11) Will this Detex device fit a 10 foot tall door?
Yes. Rod kits are offered for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights, so a 10 foot leaf is covered, and rods can be sized and adjusted in the field once installed.
12) What electrified options can I get on the Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod device?
Four: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is the usual pick for access control monitoring, EE for controlled-egress openings, and ED lets you dog and undog the push pad remotely on a schedule.
13) Can I dog the push pad open during business hours?
Yes on non-rated devices. Hex dogging or cylinder dogging are both available; cylinder dogging keys the function so only staff can hold the latch retracted. Choose less/no dogging on fire rated openings.
14) What is a cheaper alternative if I just need a Grade 1 vertical rod exit device on a 36 x 84 door?
The Delaney 8100 Series and 9100 Series are Grade 1 vertical rod devices sized for a 36 by 84 door, both non-rated, with the 9100 offered in stainless steel finish. For a labeled opening in that size, the Delaney F9100 Series is fire rated. These are surface rod devices, so they do not need the concealed rod door prep the Detex 80/81 requires.
15) I need a 48 inch fire rated vertical rod device but cannot cut concealed rod prep into the door. What else works?
Go surface mounted. The Marks USA M9900F-VR is a 48 by 84 fire rated vertical rod panic device, exit only, and the Marks M9900FVR covers 36 by 84 fire rated. Those mount on the door face, so they avoid the concealed rod routing the Detex 80/81 needs.
16) Will the top strike still latch reliably with weatherstripping on the frame?
Yes. The top strike on the Advantex 80/81 adjusts vertically and also adjusts to take up varying weather strip thicknesses, so you can tune the bolt engagement on an exterior door without shimming. The 6-position multi-step top latch keeps both bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, which is what gives consistent re-latching on a sealed opening.
17) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV?
They sit at different performance levels. The Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV is a Grade 1 commercial concealed vertical rod device. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2, non-fire-rated surface vertical rod exit device with an exit only function. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not meet it; on a non-rated interior opening where Grade 2 is acceptable it is a lighter-duty option.
18) Do any of the alternatives to the Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV avoid having to specify handing?
The Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the device itself is described as field-reversible. The Marks USA M9900VR and the fire rated M9900FVR are described as non-handed, so a single part covers either swing - useful when stocking for a mixed fleet of openings rather than a known door.
19) What is the difference between the Detex 8002CV/8102CV and the Delaney 8100 Series vertical rod device?
Both are Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices. The Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a non-fire-rated device built for a 36 x 84 door. The Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV is a concealed vertical rod device for wide stile hollow metal doors, offered fire rated or non-rated, with top-and-bottom-rod or top-rod-only configurations and a choice of hex, cylinder or no dogging.
20) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod device come in for matching existing openings?
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. 630 and 628 are the usual matches on commercial hollow metal openings.
21) Where do I get the door prep template for a Detex 8002CV installation?
Detex publishes door prep templates for the Advantex 80/81/82/83 Series, plus the installation instruction sheet, and the patented mounting plate system is what sets hole locations. Prep the door before hanging where you can, since concealed rods require routing inside the leaf.
22) Which vertical rod device should I choose if I need architectural finishes rather than a single stock finish?
The Detex Advantex 8002CV/8102CV is available in ten finishes including 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 630 brushed stainless steel and 695 dark bronze painted. By comparison the Delaney 9100 Series device (DLY-692301) is offered in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 fire rated device (DLY-694300) in an aluminum finish. If the opening is on a finish schedule with brass or bronze trim, the Detex finish range is the one that matches.
