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

1) Will the Detex Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod device work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The Advantex 8002WP/8102WP is built as a wide stile device, so it needs a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door. On a narrow stile storefront leaf you need a narrow stile device instead. If wide stile is what you have, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is another wide stile vertical rod option we carry.
2) What is the difference between the top and bottom rod version and the top rod only version of this Advantex device?
The top and bottom rod build latches at both the head and the threshold, which is the 80 Series arrangement with patented deadlocking on both bolt assemblies. The top rod only build drops the bottom bolt, which is what you want where floor debris, carpet, or an uneven threshold would foul a bottom latch, or where you simply do not want a bottom strike in the floor; deadlocking is at the top bolt on that one.
3) Can I get this Detex concealed vertical rod device fire rated for a stairwell door?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered. Choose the fire rated option for a labeled opening. One caution on ordering: fire rated openings cannot use mechanical dogging, so pair that selection with Less/No dogging rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
4) What door heights does the Detex Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Rods are supplied for either 96 inch or 120 inch door heights, in 36 inch or 48 inch device widths. The 120 inch build is the one to order for tall storefront and lobby leaves; the device is field sizeable, so the chassis width is trimmed to suit the door on site.
5) Does this Detex exit device need a mullion on a pair of doors?
No. The Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod device latches into the frame head (and the floor on the top-and-bottom build), so it secures a pair of doors with no center mullion. That is the main reason to choose vertical rod over a rim device, which does need a mullion on a pair.
6) Is the trim on the Detex 8002WP/8102WP operable from the outside with a key?
No. It ships with dummy pull trim, which is a fixed pull only, with no outside latch retraction. Egress is from the push bar inside and the door is exit only from the outside unless you dog it down. If staff need keyed re-entry, specify a lever or keyed pull trim function instead of this dummy pull version.
7) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod: which should I put on this opening?
Concealed rod, like the Detex Advantex 80/81, runs the rods inside the door, so nothing shows on the face and there is nothing for traffic or carts to catch. It needs a door prepped to take the rods, which makes it a new-door or factory-prepped choice. Surface vertical rod mounts the rods on the door face and is the practical retrofit when the existing door has no internal raceway: the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are wide stile surface rod devices we carry.
8) I need a surface vertical rod device for a wide stile aluminum door instead of a concealed rod - what should I look at?
The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the ED-500 Series, 36 inch, exit only. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is another wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod option at 3 ft for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both mount the rods on the door face rather than concealing them inside the stile the way the Detex Advantex 8002WP/8102WP does, which means less invasive door prep on an existing door. Note both are non-fire-rated, while the Advantex 8002WP/8102WP is offered in fire rated and non-rated versions.
9) What fire rated vertical rod exit devices can I use besides the Detex Advantex 8002WP/8102WP?
Two fire rated routes exist among comparable vertical rod devices. The Delaney F9100 Series 694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish. 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. The Detex Advantex 8002WP/8102WP fire rated versions are ordered in 36 and 48 inch sizes for 96 and 120 inch door heights, so it is the option to use when the door is taller than 84 inches.
10) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 8002WP/8102WP?
Only where the specification allows Grade 2. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty ADA compliant surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit only, and not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 8002WP/8102WP is Grade 1 and is available in a fire rated version. If the opening is on a life safety schedule calling for Grade 1 panic hardware or a fire door, the 9860 will not answer it.
11) What dogging options are there on this Detex Advantex device, and which should I pick?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard back-of-house pick and is fine where only staff have the key. Cylinder dogging uses a mortise cylinder so dogging is controlled on the building keyway, which is what most schools and offices want. Less dogging is the correct choice on any fire rated opening.
12) Can I get a Detex Advantex vertical rod device with delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch?
Yes. Electrified options on the 8002WP/8102WP are EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is the one to pair with an access control system so the panel sees a legitimate exit; ED lets you dog and undog the device from a time clock or card system instead of by hand.
13) Is the Detex Advantex 80/81 strong enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device, the top ANSI/BHMA performance tier for panic hardware, and Detex builds it as super heavy duty for high-use, high-abuse openings. The top latch uses a 6-position multi-step action that holds both bolts retracted until the door closes, which is what keeps re-latching consistent on a door that gets slammed hundreds of times a day.
14) What is a cheaper Grade 1 vertical rod alternative if I do not need the Detex concealed design?
For a straightforward 36 x 84 opening, the Delaney 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device in stainless finish, and the Delaney F9100 Series is its fire rated counterpart in aluminum finish. If the opening is not a Grade 1 requirement at all, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod, non fire rated. None of those are concealed rod devices, so pick them only where surface-mounted rods are acceptable.
15) How hard is the install on the Detex Advantex 80/81, and can I fine tune the top latch afterward?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate system on the Advantex to locate the device accurately, and the door prep is reduced compared to older concealed rod hardware. After hanging, the top strike adjusts vertically and also in and out to take up varying weather strip thickness, so you can dial in latching on an exterior opening without re-drilling. Detex publishes door prep templates and installation instructions for the 80/81 Series.
16) I need a non-handed vertical rod exit device - what are my options next to the Detex Advantex?
The Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the fire rated M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches are both specified non-handed, exit only vertical rod panic devices, and Marks also lists 48 inch versions. The Detex Advantex 8002WP/8102WP is a handed device that must be ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though it is described as field reversible.
17) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 80/81 device come in?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 630 brushed stainless steel. Both are offered across the 36 inch and 48 inch sizes and both rod configurations, so 628 is the straightforward match for clear anodized aluminum storefront and 630 for stainless or darker hollow metal openings.
