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

1) Will the Detex Advantex 8202DV/8302DV work on a pair of aluminum doors with no center 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 into the head (and the threshold on top-and-bottom rod versions) rather than into a strike on the door edge, each leaf secures on its own and no center mullion is needed.
2) Can the Detex 8202DV/8302DV be used on a narrow stile storefront door?
No. The Advantex 8202DV/8302DV is a wide stile device for aluminum doors. On a narrow stile storefront leaf you need a narrow stile exit device instead, so check the stile width on your door before you order this one.
3) Does the Detex Advantex 82/83 dummy lever trim allow entry from the outside?
No. Dummy lever trim is a pull only, it does not retract the latches. Anyone on the outside is locked out unless the device is dogged. If you need keyed or lever entry from the pull side, order the device with a keyed or night latch trim option rather than the DV dummy trim version.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 8202DV/8302DV?
You pick Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse when ordering, but the device itself is field reversible, so handing can be corrected on site if the wrong one shows up. It is also field sizeable.
5) What door sizes and heights does the Detex Advantex 82/83 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device widths are offered for 36 inch and 48 inch door leaves, with rod lengths for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. Pick the height that matches your opening, or field size the device to suit.
6) Can I get the Detex 82/83 Advantex on a fire rated opening?
Yes, it is ordered as either Fire Rated or Non-Rated. Pick the fire rated version for a labeled opening. Note that dogging is not usable on fire rated hardware, so on those doors order it less dogging.
7) Can the Detex Advantex 82/83 be set up for delayed egress or request-to-exit monitoring?
Yes. Electrified options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging, or None for a purely mechanical device. EX ties the bar into an access control system for REX signaling; EE is the delayed egress version for controlled perimeter doors; ED lets the device be dogged and undogged remotely on a schedule.
8) Why choose a concealed vertical rod exit device instead of a surface vertical rod?
Concealed rods run inside the door stile, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, vandalized or caught on carts, and the door face stays clean for a glass front entrance. The tradeoff is prep: the door has to be prepped for concealed rods, so on an existing door that is not prepped, a surface vertical rod like the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile device is the simpler retrofit.
9) What is the closest wide stile vertical rod exit device to the Detex Advantex 8202DV/8302DV from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest wide stile peer. It is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in a 3 ft size for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 8202DV/8302DV is also Grade 1 and built for wide stile aluminum doors, but its rods are concealed rather than surface mounted, and it is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. If the drawing calls out concealed vertical rod, the Von Duprin surface device is not a drop-in for it.
10) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 by 84 door - can I use the Detex 8202DV/8302DV?
The Detex Advantex 8202DV/8302DV is offered in fire rated and non-rated versions, but its door height options are 96 inch and 120 inch, so an 84 inch door falls outside that range. For an 84 inch 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, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for 36 inch by 84 inch, exit only and non-handed.
11) What is the difference between top rod only and top and bottom rod on the Detex Advantex 82/83?
Top and bottom rod latches at both the header and the threshold. Top rod only drops the bottom latch and bottom rod, which keeps the floor clear, avoids a threshold strike and eliminates the usual source of dirt jams and dragging rods. Top rod only is common on retail and healthcare doors that sweep debris; top and bottom gives you two latch points for more security.
12) What dogging options are available on the Detex 8202DV/8302DV, and which should I pick?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging holds the pushbar down with an allen key at 1/8 turn, which is fine for back of house. Cylinder dogging keys it so only staff with the key can hold the door in push/pull during business hours. Order less dogging on any fire rated opening.
13) What finishes does the Detex 82/83 Advantex come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Ten BHMA finishes: 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 and dark bronze anodized frames.
14) Is the Detex Advantex 82/83 Grade 1, and what else do you carry in Grade 1 vertical rod?
Grade 1, commercial duty. If you are cross shopping Grade 1 vertical rod devices, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a wide stile surface vertical rod in 36 inch, and the Delaney 9100 Series covers a 36 x 84 opening. For a fire rated Grade 1 option, Delaney's F9100 Series is fire rated.
15) Will a Cal-Royal 9860 work as a substitute for the Detex Advantex 82/83?
Not an equal swap. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod, exit only, and not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 82/83 is Grade 1 with concealed rods. On a high traffic entrance or a labeled opening, stay with the Grade 1 concealed device; the 9860 suits lighter duty non-rated back doors.
16) Does the Detex 82/83 re-latch reliably on a door with a closer that slams?
The top latch uses a 6 position multi-step action that holds both top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, so the bolts are not dragging against the frame on the swing. The top strike adjusts vertically and for weatherstrip thickness, so you can dial in latching on a storefront door with a compressible seal.
17) Which vertical rod exit devices are non-handed, and does the Detex 8202DV/8302DV need handing specified?
The Detex Advantex 8202DV/8302DV is ordered by hand - right hand reverse or left hand reverse - though the device is field reversible. If you would rather avoid the handing call entirely, the Marks USA M9900VR and the fire rated M9900FVR are both non-handed exit only vertical rod devices for 36 inch by 84 inch doors.
18) Where can I get the door prep template for the Detex Advantex 82/83 before I order?
Detex publishes both the 82/83 Series catalog page and the installation instructions for the Advantex device, and both are linked with the product. Pull the prep dimensions from those before cutting an aluminum door, since concealed rod prep has to be right the first time.
