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

1) Will the Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV work on a pair of aluminum doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what it's built for. The Advantex 82/83 Series concealed vertical rod device is designed for wide stile aluminum doors without mullions, because it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center post. Narrow stile aluminum doors are a different animal, this one needs a wide stile.
2) Does Detex offer the Advantex 82/83 concealed vertical rod in a fire rated version?
Yes, both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered on the 8201DV/8301DV. Pick the fire rated option for a labeled opening; note that fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged open, so the dogging choice and the rating choice go together.
3) Should I order the top and bottom rod device or the top rod only version?
Top and bottom rod gives you two-point latching with a steel bottom drop bolt, which is the stronger choice on an exterior pair or a high abuse opening. Top rod only (the less bottom rod arrangement) keeps the threshold clear, which matters where dirt, snow, or carpet fouls a bottom bolt and where a floor strike is not wanted. Both are offered on the 8201DV/8301DV.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 8201DV/8301DV?
You order it right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings exit devices use on outswing doors. The device is field reversible, so a unit can be changed on site if the handing was called wrong.
5) Can I get the Detex 82/83 with an alarm or a delayed egress function?
Yes. Electrified choices on the 8201DV/8301DV are EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging, or none for a straight mechanical device. EX is the one to pick when you just need a signal to an access control panel; EE is the one for a delayed egress opening, and ED lets the access panel dog and undog the device on a schedule.
6) Is this Detex device exit only, or can I get outside trim with it?
The 8201DV/8301DV is furnished with a blank escutcheon, so there is no outside operating trim and no cylinder in the escutcheon. It is an exit only device from the outside. If your opening needs key or lever entry from the pull side, you need a different function in the 82/83 family.
7) Is a concealed vertical rod device better than a surface vertical rod for my storefront doors?
Concealed rod, like the Advantex 8201DV/8301DV, runs the rods inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, snagged, or vandalized, and the door face stays clean. It does require a door prepped to accept concealed rods. Surface vertical rod devices mount entirely on the face of the door, which is why they are the retrofit answer on doors with no concealed prep. If you need surface mount, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod option, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface device at 36 inches.
8) What is the closest wide stile surface-mounted alternative to the Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV vertical rod device?
The Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV is a concealed vertical rod device built for wide stile aluminum doors and rated Grade 1. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is also a Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod device, but its rods run on the surface of the door rather than concealed inside it, it is listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and it covers a 3 ft door width. Choose the Detex when the specification calls for the rods hidden within the stile; choose the 8827-3FT when surface rods are acceptable and the door is 1-3/4 inch thick.
9) The Marks USA M9900VR is called a vertical rod panic device too - can it replace the Detex 8201DV/8301DV?
They are not interchangeable in every opening. The Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV is a concealed vertical rod device for wide stile aluminum doors and is field reversible for Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, with top and bottom rod or top rod only configurations. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 exit-only vertical rod panic device, non-handed and not fire rated. If the existing door is prepped for concealed rods or the opening is fire rated, the M9900VR is not a drop-in replacement.
10) Is there a fire rated vertical rod device for a 48 inch wide door like the Detex 82/83 Series 48 inch size?
The Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with a fire rated option. For a 48 inch opening from another maker, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is an M9900F vertical rod panic device for a 48 by 84 door, fire rated and exit only. Note the Marks device is exit only, so no outside trim function is provided with it.
11) What dogging options are there on the Advantex 82/83 exit device?
Three: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard shop option; cylinder dogging lets a keyed cylinder hold the pushpad down so only authorized staff can set the door to push-pull during business hours. Order less dogging on fire rated openings.
12) My aluminum doors have thick weatherstripping and the frame is slightly out of square. Will the top strike still engage?
The top strike on the Advantex 82/83 is adjustable both vertically and for varying weather strip thickness, so you can dial in engagement without shimming the frame. Combined with rods that adjust while installed in the door, most out-of-square exterior aluminum pairs can be tuned in on site.
13) I need a fire rated vertical rod device but a simpler one than the Detex. What else is there?
Fire rated vertical rod alternatives carried include the Delaney F9100 Series Grade 1 fire rated device for a 36 x 84 door, and the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 x 84 or the M9900F-VR at 48 x 84, both fire rated exit only devices. Those are simpler surface-style exit only units without the electrified options and concealed rod prep the Advantex 82/83 brings.
14) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV?
The Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV is a Grade 1 commercial device. If the opening does not require Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit only, and not fire rated. Because the 9860 carries no fire rating, it cannot be used on a fire rated opening where the Detex fire rated configuration would be required.
15) If I do not need electrified functions, what is a simpler vertical rod device than the Detex Advantex 82/83 Series?
The Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV is ordered with an electrified option selection that includes None, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. For a purely mechanical exit-only opening, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for a 36 inch door, exit only and non-rated, and the Delaney 8100 Series device for a 36 by 84 door is Grade 1 and non-rated.
16) How do the finish choices on the Detex Advantex 82/83 Series compare with other Grade 1 vertical rod devices?
The Detex Advantex 8201DV/8301DV is offered in ten finishes: 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 Grade 1 peers, the Delaney 9100 Series device for a 36 by 84 door is offered in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 fire rated device in an aluminum finish, so the Detex range is the one to specify when you need brass, bronze, or painted finishes to match existing hardware.
17) Why does the top latch on the Detex Advantex hold the bolts retracted until the door closes?
It's a 6-position multi-step action in the top latch. Both top and bottom bolts stay retracted until the door is actually back in the frame, so the bolts are not dragging the frame or the threshold and re-latching is more consistent. Both bolt assemblies are deadlocking once thrown.
18) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 82/83 vertical rod device come in?
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 matching existing storefront, 628 is the usual aluminum-door match and 695 the dark bronze anodized match.
19) Are door prep templates available for the Detex Advantex 82/83 install?
Yes. Detex publishes door prep templates for the Advantex 80/81/82/83 Series along with installation instructions and the series catalog page, and the 82/83 uses a patented mounting plate system that sets the hole locations for you. Prep the door from the template before the device goes on, especially on a concealed rod stile.
