Detex 8709DV-693-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 8709DV work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly what the 8709DV is built for. The Advantex 87 Series concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold with top and bottom bolts, so it secures hollow metal doors without a mullion. Detex calls out the device specifically for hollow metal doors without mullions, and the patented deadlocking of the top and bottom bolt assemblies is what holds the pair shut.
2) Is the Detex Advantex 8709DV a wide stile or narrow stile exit device?
Wide stile, and it is intended for hollow metal doors. If your opening is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile, this is the wrong device for it and you need a narrow stile vertical rod instead.
3) Does the Detex 8709DV have to be ordered handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
You pick a hand when you order, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device is field-reversible so a wrong-hand unit can be converted on site without swapping the device out.
4) Can I get the Detex 87 Series concealed vertical rod as a fire rated device?
Yes. The 8709DV is ordered as fire rated, non-rated, or tornado rated, so the same device family covers a stairwell fire door, a plain egress door, or a storm shelter opening. The rating is a build choice, not a field conversion, so specify it up front.
5) What door widths and heights does the Detex 8709DV cover?
Device width is ordered for a 36 inch or 48 inch door, and rod length is set by door height: 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch. The 96 and 120 inch options cover tall openings without needing rod extensions sourced separately.
6) What does the 8709DV key override actually do when someone turns the key outside?
The function is key unlocks lever, locked when key removed. Turn the key and the outside lever is live so anyone can pull the door open; pull the key and the lever locks again. It is a hold-unlocked-by-key arrangement, not a momentary key-retracting latch, and egress from the inside is always free through the pushpad.
7) What do I have to specify when ordering a Detex 8709DV besides finish and size?
Four things beyond finish: dogging type (hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging), an electrified option if you need one, the hand, and the door height for rod length. Note that fire rated openings cannot be mechanically dogged, so pair hex or cylinder dogging with non-rated builds only.
8) Is a concealed vertical rod device better than a surface vertical rod for my opening?
Concealed rod devices like the 8709DV run the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, hit by carts, or vandalized, and the door face stays clean. The tradeoff is door prep: the door has to be prepped for concealed rods, which usually means specifying it that way from the door manufacturer. If you are retrofitting an existing hollow metal door with no concealed prep, a surface vertical rod is the practical choice, for example the Von Duprin 8827 wide stile surface vertical rod or the Imperial USA ED-VR531.
9) I need an exit device with keyed outside entry, not just push-to-exit. Do the comparable vertical rod devices do that?
Most of the alternatives do not. The Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR, the Cal-Royal 9860, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are all exit only, meaning no outside trim function. If you need staff to key in from outside, the 8709DV is the one in this group with a key-unlocks-lever function built in.
10) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod exit device to the Detex 8709DV if a surface rod is acceptable instead of concealed?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series for 3 ft doors, listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Detex Advantex 8709DV is also Grade 1 and wide stile for hollow metal doors without mullions, but its vertical rods are concealed and it carries the key-unlocks-lever function with automatic locking when the key is removed. Choose the 8827-3FT where exposed rods are acceptable and the Detex where the rods must be inside the door.
11) Which vertical rod exit device should I use on an exit-only door with no outside trim?
The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is exit only and non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 36 inch ED-500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device also listed exit only. The Detex Advantex 8709DV is built for openings that need outside access: its function is key unlocks lever, locked when key removed. If the door never needs to be entered from outside, an exit-only device covers it.
12) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a 48 inch door - what are my options?
The Detex Advantex 8709DV can be ordered in a Fire Rated configuration in 48 inch size, alongside Non-Rated and Tornado Rated options. Fire rated alternatives include the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR M9900F at 48 x 84, which is exit only, and at 36 inch widths the Marks USA M9900FVR and the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish.
13) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 8709DV?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, exit only and not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 8709DV is Grade 1 with a key-unlocks-lever function and can be specified Fire Rated or Tornado Rated. On an opening spec'd for Grade 1 or requiring a fire label, the 9860 does not answer the spec.
14) What electrified options can I get on the Detex Advantex 87 Series device?
Four, plus none: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request-to-exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. EX is what you use to signal an access control panel or shunt an alarm on authorized exit. EE delayed egress is the one that holds the door for a timed period after the pushpad is pressed, and it requires local AHJ approval on an egress door.
15) Does the bottom bolt on the Detex 8709DV re-latch reliably, or does it drag on the floor?
The 87 Series uses a 6-position multi-step action: the top latch holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door actually closes, then releases them. That is what keeps the steel bottom drop bolt from scraping the threshold on the swing and gives more consistent re-latching than a device that drops the bottom bolt immediately.
16) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device for a standard 36 x 84 door?
The Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 is a Grade 1 vertical rod device sized for a 36 x 84 door, non-fire-rated, and the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for the same 36 x 84 opening in stainless steel finish. The Detex Advantex 8709DV covers 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights and adds dogging and electrified options, so the Delaney devices are the leaner choice on a single standard opening.
17) Which vertical rod exit device do I order if the doors are non-handed or the handing is unknown?
The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is non-handed, as is the fire rated M9900FVR 36 x 84, so handing does not have to be determined before ordering. The Detex Advantex 8709DV is a handed device ordered Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though it is field reversible.
18) Which vertical rod device matches finish hardware already in polished brass or oil rubbed bronze?
The Detex Advantex 8709DV is offered 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 comparable vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is listed in stainless steel and the Delaney F9100 DLY-694300 in aluminum, so brass and bronze matching points to the Detex.
19) Will the Detex 8709DV finishes match the other doors in my building?
Nine finishes are offered: 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 facility standardizing on one look, 630 brushed stainless and 695 dark bronze painted are the usual commercial choices.
20) How much door prep does installing a Detex Advantex 87 Series device take?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate system on the Advantex line that keeps door preparation minimal and locates the device accurately. Use the 87 Series door prep templates and the published installation instructions for hole locations before you cut anything, since the concealed rod pockets and the bolt prep at head and sill all have to line up.
