Detex 8202CV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV work on a pair of aluminum doors with no mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 82/83 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for wide stile aluminum doors without a mullion, because it latches vertically at the head (and at the threshold on the top-and-bottom rod version) rather than into a center strike. That is the reason to pick a vertical rod device over a rim device, which needs a strike point at the center of the opening.
2) Can I use this Detex device on a narrow stile storefront door?
No. The 8202CV/8302CV is a wide stile device for aluminum doors, so it will not mount on a narrow stile storefront leaf. For a narrow stile aluminum opening you need a narrow stile exit device instead.
3) What is the difference between the top rod only and the top and bottom rod version of the Detex 82/83?
Two rod configurations are offered. The top-and-bottom rod device latches into the frame head and down into the threshold with a steel bottom drop bolt, giving two-point latching. The top-rod-only device latches at the head alone, which is what people choose when a floor strike is not wanted or the threshold cannot be drilled (common where carts, water, or a sloped sill are in play). Security is higher with two points; less bottom rod keeps the sill clear.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Advantex 8202CV, and can it be changed after it ships?
Handing is specified at order as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, the two hands that apply to outswinging exit doors. The device is field reversible, so if the hand on site turns out to be the other one you can reverse it without buying new hardware.
5) What door widths and heights does the Detex Advantex 82/83 cover?
Device size is ordered as 36 inch or 48 inch for the door width, and rod length is ordered for 96 inch or 120 inch door height. The 120 inch option is what you order for tall storefront and entrance leaves instead of splicing rods.
6) Does the dummy pull trim on the Detex 8202CV let people in from outside?
No. The trim supplied is dummy pull trim, which is a fixed pull for grabbing the door, not a latch release. There is no outside operation of the bolts, so the opening is exit only from the inside pushbar. If staff need keyed or lever entry from the outside, you need a device ordered with keyed pull or lever trim instead.
7) Is a concealed vertical rod device better than a surface vertical rod for my aluminum doors?
Concealed rods, as on the Detex 8202CV/8302CV, run inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, hung on, or tampered with, and the door looks cleaner. The trade-off is door prep: the leaf has to be prepped for concealed rods, which makes it the choice on new doors or doors already prepped. If your existing leaves are not prepped, a surface vertical rod device such as the Von Duprin 8827 wide stile device or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 mounts on the face of the door instead.
8) What is the closest wide stile surface-mounted alternative to the Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV concealed vertical rod device?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, sized 3 ft and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference is rod placement: the Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV runs its vertical rods concealed and is built for wide stile aluminum doors, while the 8827-3FT mounts the rods on the door face. Both are Grade 1. If the architectural look of hidden rods is not required, the surface device is the simpler door prep.
9) I need a fire rated vertical rod device but the Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV is more device than the opening needs. What else works?
For a fire rated vertical rod opening, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish, and 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. A 48 inch fire rated version of the Marks device is the MARM9900F-VR. The Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV is ordered fire rated or non-rated and is a concealed rod device with dummy pull trim, so it is the choice when hidden rods and a pull on the outside are both required.
10) What are my alternatives if I need a fire rated vertical rod device but not a concealed rod one?
Fire rated surface vertical rod options we carry include the Marks USA M9900FVR for a 36 x 84 door and the M9900F-VR for 48 x 84, both exit only, and the Delaney F9100 Series Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door. All three mount to the door face rather than requiring concealed rod prep. The Detex 82/83 remains the pick when you want the rods hidden inside the stile.
11) What electrified options can I add to the Detex Advantex 82/83 exit device?
Four electrified choices are offered besides None: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is the usual pick for tying the door into an access control or alarm panel, EA for a local sounding alarm at a controlled exit, ED for remote dogging on a schedule, and EE for delayed egress where the authority having jurisdiction permits it.
12) Is the Detex Advantex 82/83 device Grade 1?
Grade 1 is the rating on the 82/83 Series, the heaviest commercial duty level under the BHMA grading, which is what most institutional and high-traffic specs call for on an entrance.
13) What finishes does the Detex 82/83 vertical rod device come in to match my other storefront doors?
Ten finishes are offered: 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 aluminum storefront the usual matches are 628 brushed aluminum with clear anodized frames and 695 dark bronze painted with bronze anodized frames.
14) Will the top latch on the Detex Advantex re-latch reliably on a door with weatherstripping?
Yes, and that is one of the things the design addresses. The 6-position multi-step top latch holds both top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, so it does not throw a bolt into the frame face. The top strike adjusts vertically and in and out to take up varying weather strip thicknesses, which is what you use to dial in latching on a gasketed storefront.
15) Where do I get the door prep template for the Detex 8202CV/8302CV?
Detex publishes the Advantex 80/81/82/83 Series door prep templates along with installation instructions and the 82/83 Series catalog page, and both the instruction sheet and catalog page are hosted with the product record. Pull the template before the leaf is prepped, since concealed rods require routing inside the stile and the patented mounting plate sets the hole locations.
16) Which vertical rod devices come exit only instead of with the dummy pull trim on the Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV?
The Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV is supplied with dummy pull trim, so the outside gets a pull with no latch retraction. If the opening needs no outside hardware at all, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with an exit only function, the Marks USA M9900VR is an exit only vertical rod panic device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door and non-handed, and the Cal-Royal 9860 is also exit only.
17) The Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV must be ordered handed. Is there a non-handed vertical rod device?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse and is field-reversible after installation. The Marks USA M9900VR is listed as non-handed in its 36 inch by 84 inch exit only form, as is the fire rated M9900FVR, so a single part number covers either swing on stocked shelves.
18) For a 48 inch wide door, what vertical rod exit devices are there besides the Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV?
The Detex Advantex 8202CV/8302CV covers 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes and door heights of 96 inch and 120 inch. If the door is 48 inch by 84 inch, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device in exit only form, and the fire rated equivalent at that width is the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR.
19) Is there a lower cost vertical rod exit device if the opening is not high traffic?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, exit only, non-fire-rated. Grade 2 is a step down in cycle duty from the Grade 1 Detex 82/83, which suits a back-of-house or low-traffic exit rather than a main entrance. The Delaney 8100 Series is another surface-mounted Grade 1 non-rated option for a 36 x 84 door.
20) How rough an environment will the Detex 82/83 hold up in?
It is built for abuse: a steel bottom drop bolt and an angled end cap that deflects impact away from the device, with concealed rods that cannot be struck directly. That combination is why it shows up on school, retail, warehouse and municipal entrances where carts and crowds hit the hardware daily.
