Detex 8703CV-693-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 8703CV work on a pair of doors with no mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 8703CV is a concealed vertical rod device, so it latches into the head and the threshold rather than into a center post. Detex builds it specifically for hollow metal doors without a mullion, which is what makes it the choice for a pair where you need a clear opening. If you have a single door in a frame with a strike jamb, a rim device is the simpler answer.
2) Is the Detex Advantex 87 Series a wide stile or narrow stile exit device?
Wide stile, built for hollow metal doors. That rules it out for narrow stile aluminum storefront leaves. If you are hanging hardware on an aluminum glass door, you need a narrow stile device instead.
3) Do I have to order the Detex 8703CV handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
You order it handed, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device is field-reversible if the opening turns out to be the other way. Exit devices are always RHR or LHR because they swing out of the space, so check which way the door pushes before you pick.
4) What door height and width do I need to specify for the Detex 87 Series concealed rod device?
Device width is 36 or 48 inches to suit the door leaf, and rod length is set by door height: 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch. Get the height right at order time, since the concealed rods are cut to the opening and a 96 inch door will not take an 84 inch rod set.
5) Can I get the Detex Advantex 87 Series fire rated, and is there a tornado rated version?
Three rating options are built: fire rated, non-rated, and tornado rated. Fire rated openings need the fire version and cannot use dogging. If you are specifying a storm shelter or safe room opening, the tornado rated build is the one to call out.
6) Can the Detex 87 Series concealed vertical rod device do delayed egress or request to exit?
Yes, electrification is an order option: EE delayed egress, EX request to exit signal switch, EA hardwired electric alarm, or EB electric alarm with battery. Pick None for a straight mechanical device. Delayed egress and access control tie-ins have to be chosen up front, not added later.
7) What is the difference between the Detex 8703CV concealed rod and a surface vertical rod device like the Von Duprin 8827?
The Detex is concealed: rods run inside the door, so nothing is exposed to vandalism or cart damage and the door face stays clean. That requires a door prepped for concealed rods. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the rods mounted on the face, which is the retrofit answer when the existing door has no internal prep.
8) I need a tornado rated vertical rod exit device - do the alternatives cover that?
The Detex 8703CV is offered in a Tornado Rated version alongside Fire Rated and Non-Rated. The other vertical rod devices in the comparable range are specified only by fire rating: Grade 1 non-rated devices such as the Delaney 9100 and 8100 Series, the Imperial ED-VR531 and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, and fire rated devices such as the Delaney F9100 Series and the Marks USA M9900FVR. For a storm shelter opening, stay with the tornado rated 87 Series configuration.
9) What does the CV in Detex 8703CV mean, and how does the key trim work?
CV is the concealed vertical rod configuration, and the 8703CV comes with key retracts latch cylinder pull trim. Turning the key in the outside cylinder pulls the top and bottom bolts back so you can enter from outside; the push pad handles egress from inside. The cylinder itself is a separate order item.
10) What dogging choices are there on the Detex 8703CV, and which should I pick?
Hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex is the standard allen-key hold-down for schools and offices where you want the door push-pull during the day. Cylinder dogging keys it so only staff with the key can dog it. Order less dogging on fire rated openings.
11) Is the Detex 87 Series Grade 1, and is it heavy enough for a school or hospital exit?
Grade 1, commercial rated, and built as super heavy duty panic hardware for high-use, high-abuse openings. Detex adds a steel bottom drop bolt and an angled end cap that deflects cart and door-stop impact away from the device, which is what keeps it alive in a school corridor or a hospital service exit.
12) What is a lower cost alternative to the Detex 8703CV if I do not need key entry from outside?
If the opening only needs egress, an exit-only vertical rod device skips the outside trim and the cylinder entirely. The Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 or 48 x 84 and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod, are both exit-only. For a fire rated exit-only opening, Marks USA offers the M9900FVR. None of those give you the key-retracts-latch pull trim the 8703CV carries.
13) I need a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a standard 36 x 84 door. What are my options besides Detex?
Delaney offers Grade 1 vertical rod devices sized for a 36 x 84 door: the 9100 Series in stainless, the 8100 Series, and the F9100 Series when the opening is fire rated. If Grade 2 is acceptable on a low-traffic non-rated opening, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty exit-only surface vertical rod. The Detex 8703CV remains the pick when you want the rods hidden inside a hollow metal door.
14) Will the Detex 87 Series relatch reliably on a weatherstripped exterior door?
That is the point of the 6-position multi-step top latch: it holds the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is fully closed, so the bolts drop only when the leaf is home rather than dragging. The top strike adjusts vertically and for weather strip thickness, and the rods can be adjusted with the device still in the door, which is what you want on an exterior opening that settles over time.
15) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex Advantex 8703CV?
No. The Detex 8703CV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with Key Retracts Latch cylinder pull trim, while the Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device in an exit only function with no fire rating. If your spec calls for Grade 1, a fire rating, or outside key access, the 9860 will not meet it.
16) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device if I do not need the Detex 87 Series electrified and dogging options?
The Detex 8703CV can be ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging or less dogging, and with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit, EE delayed egress and EB electric alarm with battery. For a plain mechanical Grade 1 vertical rod device, the Delaney 8100 Series for a 36 x 84 door and the Delaney 9100 Series in stainless steel finish are both non-fire-rated Grade 1 devices, and the Imperial ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch surface vertical rod device.
17) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 8703CV the way I would on other vertical rod devices?
Yes. The Detex 8703CV is ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though the device is field-reversible. By contrast, the Marks USA M9900VR and the M9900FVR are non-handed vertical rod devices, so handing is not part of the order on those.
18) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 87 Series come in for matching existing doors?
Nine finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 polished stainless, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. For a building already standardized on satin stainless hardware, 630 is the usual match.
19) Where do I get door prep templates for the Detex Advantex 8703CV?
Detex publishes the 87 Series catalog page and the installation instructions, both linked on the product record, plus Advantex 87 Series door prep templates on the Detex support site. Use the templates to lay out the concealed rod routing and mounting plate holes before the door is hung; the patented mounting plate sets the device location for you.
20) Which vertical rod exit device gives me the widest finish selection for matching existing hardware?
The Detex 8703CV is available in 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. Among the other vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series device is specified in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 Series in an aluminum finish.
