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

1) Will the Detex Advantex 8202WP/8302WP work on a pair of aluminum storefront doors without a mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 82/83 Series concealed vertical rod device is built for wide stile aluminum doors and does not require a mullion, because it latches vertically at the head and (on top and bottom rod versions) at the threshold rather than into a center post. That makes it the normal choice for a pair of storefront leaves where a removable mullion would block the opening. For a narrow stile aluminum door this is the wrong device, it is a wide stile design.
2) Should I order the top rod only version or the top and bottom rod version?
Both are offered. Top and bottom rod gives you two latching points, with a steel bottom drop bolt into the threshold for more security. Top rod only drops the bottom bolt, which is what people specify when the floor is uneven, when there is a carpet or floor finish transition, or when they just do not want a bottom bolt to foul. If the opening is fire rated, verify the rated hardware requirement for the assembly before dropping the bottom rod.
3) Does the Detex 8202WP/8302WP come fire rated?
Yes, it is offered in both Fire Rated and Non-Rated configurations, and the rating is an option you select when ordering rather than a separate model. That choice pairs with either the top rod only or the top and bottom rod build, in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes.
4) Do I have to specify handing on this Detex exit device?
Yes. Handing is a required selection, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings that apply to an outswinging exit door. The device is handed but field reversible, so a mis-selected unit can be converted on the job rather than returned.
5) What dogging options are there, and what does the Detex 82/83 dummy pull trim version actually do on the outside?
Dogging is a required choice of hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Note that this configuration carries dummy pull trim, so the outside pull is fixed, there is no outside key or lever retraction of the latches. Traffic in from the outside means dogging the pushpad down (hex or cylinder dogging), or fitting an electric dogging device. If you need keyed entry from the outside, you need a lever or keyed pull trim version instead of dummy pull.
6) What is the difference between this concealed vertical rod Detex and a surface vertical rod device like the Von Duprin 8827?
Rod exposure is the difference. The Advantex 82/83 runs its rods concealed inside the door stile, which is why it suits an aluminum storefront where the architect does not want hardware showing on the face of the leaf, and it requires the matching door prep. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 inch doors, rods mounted on the door face, which is the easier retrofit on an existing hollow metal or wood door with no concealed raceway.
7) Is the Detex Advantex 82/83 Grade 1, and is that enough for a school or hospital exit?
Grade 1 is the rating, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA commercial duty level and the grade normally specified for high traffic institutional egress doors. Detex lists it as a commercial, super-heavy-duty panic and fire exit device, and a fire rated configuration is available for rated openings in schools, healthcare, and government buildings. If you are standardizing a campus, note the Cal-Royal 9860 vertical rod device is Grade 2 and not fire rated, so it is not a like-for-like substitute on a Grade 1 spec.
8) What is the closest wide stile vertical rod alternative to the Detex 8202WP/8302WP if a surface mounted rod is acceptable?
The Detex Advantex 8202WP/8302WP is a concealed vertical rod device built for wide stile aluminum doors and rated BHMA Grade 1. If the rods can run on the face of the door instead of inside the stile, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in a 3 ft size and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is also a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in 36 inch. The practical difference is rod concealment and the door prep that goes with it: the Detex rods are hidden in the stile, the Von Duprin and Imperial rods are exposed and surface applied.
9) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door. What are my options besides the Detex Advantex?
The Detex Advantex 82/83 Series is ordered with a Fire Rated rating option in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. If the opening is a 36 by 84 door and a surface rod device suits, the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for 36 inch by 84 inch, 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 by 84 door in aluminum finish. For a 48 inch fire rated door, Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers 48 inch by 84 inch. Note the Marks and Delaney devices are exit only, while the Detex is supplied with wide stile dummy pull trim.
10) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 8202WP/8302WP?
They are not equivalent. The Detex Advantex 8202WP/8302WP is BHMA Grade 1 and can be ordered fire rated. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit only function, and is not fire rated. If the spec on the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not satisfy it; for a non-rated interior opening where Grade 2 is accepted it is a heavy duty surface rod option.
11) My opening is a hollow metal or wood door, not a wide stile aluminum door. Should I still use the Detex 8202WP/8302WP?
No. The Detex Advantex 8202WP/8302WP is engineered specifically for wide stile aluminum doors without a mullion, and its patented mounting plate prep is cut for that stile. For other door types, look at a surface vertical rod device sized to the leaf: Marks USA M9900VR covers 36 inch by 84 inch and the M9900VR 48X84 covers 48 inch by 84 inch, both exit only and non-rated, with the M9900VR non-handed. The Delaney 8100 Series 8100-3684 is another Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door.
12) Can I get the Detex Advantex 82/83 with delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch?
Yes. Electrified options on the Advantex 82/83 include EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging, plus a None option if you want it purely mechanical. EE is what you select for a controlled 15 second egress delay application, EX is the dry contact that tells an access control panel the pushpad was used, and ED lets the panel dog the device for scheduled free access.
13) Will this Detex fit a storefront with thick weatherstripping at the head?
It should. The top strike on the Advantex 82/83 adjusts both vertically and for varying weather strip thicknesses, so you can dial in engagement on a storefront header without shimming. The 6 position multi-step top latch also holds both bolts retracted until the door closes, which is what keeps a slightly out of square aluminum leaf re-latching consistently.
14) How much door prep does a concealed rod Detex 82/83 need on an aluminum door?
Less than most concealed devices. The Advantex uses a patented mounting plate system that Detex describes as the easiest and most accurate panic hardware installation available with minimal door preparation, and the bolt assemblies are patented deadlocking. Detex publishes door prep templates for the Advantex 80/81/82/83 Series along with installation instructions and the series catalog page, so lay out the stile from the template for the door height you ordered, 96 or 120 inch.
15) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device if I do not need the concealed rods or the electrified options?
The Detex Advantex 8202WP/8302WP carries concealed rods, hex or cylinder dogging choices, and electrified options including EA hardwired alarm, EX request to exit, EE delayed egress and ED electric dogging. If none of that is required, the Delaney 8100 Series 8100-3684 is a Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod device sized for a 36 by 84 door, and the Delaney 9100 Series 692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door in stainless steel finish. Both are mechanical devices without the electrified and dogging option tree.
16) Do any of the alternatives to the Detex Advantex avoid handing the device?
The Detex Advantex 8202WP/8302WP is a handed device, ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though it is field reversible. If a non-handed device simplifies stocking, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 inch by 84 inch and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR 36 inch by 84 inch are both listed as non-handed, exit only devices. Both are surface vertical rod devices rather than concealed rod.
17) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 82/83 concealed vertical rod device come in?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 630 brushed stainless steel. 628 is the usual match for clear anodized aluminum storefront, 630 for stainless or darker commercial entries. Both finishes are available across the 36 inch and 48 inch sizes and in fire rated and non-rated builds.
