Detex 8201CV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV work on a pair of aluminum storefront doors without a mullion?
Yes, that is exactly what the concealed vertical rod version is for. The 82/83 Series device latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a center strike, so it secures wide stile aluminum doors without a mullion. It is built specifically for wide stile aluminum doors, so on a narrow stile storefront leaf you need a narrow stile device instead.
2) Do I have to specify handing for the Detex 82/83 concealed vertical rod device?
You pick Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse when ordering, but the device itself is field-reversible, so a unit on the shelf can be changed in the field if the opening turns out to be the other hand. It is also field-sizeable for door width.
3) What door sizes and heights does the Detex Advantex 82/83 concealed rod device cover?
Device widths are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are offered for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. For a tall opening you must order the 120 inch height version; the standard 96 inch rods will not reach.
4) What is the difference between the top and bottom rod version and the top rod only version?
The top and bottom rod device bolts into both the header strike and the threshold. The top rod only device latches at the head alone, which is what you use when the floor or threshold condition will not take a bottom strike, or where a dragging bottom bolt has been a maintenance problem. Both are the same 82/83 concealed rod device otherwise.
5) Does the 8201CV/8301CV include outside trim or a lever to get back in?
No. It is an exit only device with a cover plate, meaning there is no outside trim, lever or cylinder to re-enter through. If you need controlled entry from the outside, order a device with keyed or lever trim rather than the CV exit only configuration.
6) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch door - what are my options besides the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV is offered in a fire rated configuration in the 36 inch size. For fire rated alternatives, the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch 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 inch by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish. On a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated, exit only.
7) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod exit device to the Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest wide stile match: it is a Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod exit device in a 3 ft size for 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference that decides the job is rod concealment - the Detex 8201CV/8301CV is a concealed vertical rod device for wide stile aluminum doors, while the Von Duprin 8827 is a surface vertical rod device, so the rods run on the face of the door rather than inside the stile. Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod option in 36 inch.
8) Which of these vertical rod devices can be ordered with electrified options like delayed egress or request to exit?
The Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV is ordered with an electrified option - EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging - as well as a dogging choice of hex, cylinder, or less dogging. The comparable vertical rod devices, including the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial USA ED-VR531 and Cal-Royal 9860, are catalogued as mechanical exit only vertical rod devices. If the opening needs delayed egress or an exit signal built into the device, the Advantex is the one configured for it.
9) Is this Detex device Grade 1, and can it take the traffic in a school or hospital exit?
BHMA Grade 1 is the rating on the Advantex 82/83 Series, and it is a commercial-only device built as super heavy duty panic and fire exit hardware. That is the top performance level for high-use, high-abuse openings such as schools, healthcare corridors and retail entries.
10) What dogging and electrified options do I have to choose on the Detex 82/83?
Dogging is hex, cylinder, or less/no dogging. Electrified choices are none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging. ED electric dogging lets you release the latches remotely on a schedule instead of dogging the device by hand; EE delayed egress is the option for controlled-egress openings where local code permits it.
11) Will the finish match the other doors in my building?
Ten finishes are made: 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. On aluminum storefront, 628 and 695 are the usual matches to clear anodized and dark bronze frames.
12) Why does the Detex 82/83 re-latch more reliably than a typical vertical rod device?
It uses a 6-position multi-step top latch action that holds the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, so the bolts drop into their strikes instead of dragging or hanging up. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for weather strip thickness, which is what you use to dial in latching on a storefront door with a compressible seal.
13) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit device, exit only, and is not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device and is offered in both fire rated and non-rated configurations. If the specification calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not meet it.
14) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device for a standard 36 by 84 hollow metal or wood door?
The Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 and the Delaney 9100 Series 692301 are both Grade 1 vertical rod devices built for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, the 9100 in a stainless steel finish, neither fire rated. They are fixed-size devices for a standard leaf. The Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV is the choice when the opening is a wide stile aluminum door without a mullion and the rods need to be concealed, and it is field-reversible and field-sizeable rather than supplied for one door size.
15) Which vertical rod exit devices are non-handed if I do not want to specify handing?
The Marks USA M9900VR 36 by 84 and the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 by 84 are both non-handed vertical rod panic devices, exit only, so handing does not have to be called out at order time. The Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse and is field-reversible, so handing is confirmed on the order but can be changed in the field.
16) I need a top-rod-only device on a 48 inch door - what covers that, and what are the 48 inch alternatives?
The Detex Advantex 8201CV/8301CV is configurable as a top rod only device or a top and bottom rod device, and is offered in a 48 inch size, so a 48 inch leaf with no bottom bolt is covered directly. Among peers at 48 inches, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 by 84 vertical rod panic device, exit only, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is the 48 by 84 fire rated version, exit only - both surface vertical rod devices rather than concealed.
17) Are door prep templates and install instructions available for the Advantex 82/83?
Yes, Detex publishes installation instructions and a catalog page for the 82/83 Series, plus door prep templates covering the Advantex 80/81/82/83 Series. Pull the template before you route the stile, since the concealed rod prep has to be cut before the device goes on.
