Detex 8714DV-693-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 8714DV work on a pair of doors without a center mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 8714DV is a concealed vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a mullion or a strike on the adjacent leaf. Detex specifies it for hollow metal doors without a mullion. On a pair, each leaf gets its own device.
2) Does the Detex Advantex 87 Series concealed vertical rod device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The 8714DV is a wide stile device built for hollow metal doors. Aluminum storefront with a narrow stile needs a narrow stile device instead, typically a rim device. Putting a wide stile chassis on a narrow stile leaf leaves no room for the mounting plate and door prep.
3) What does "Lever Always Active" mean on the Detex 8714DV, and do I still need a cylinder?
Lever always active means the outside lever trim retracts the latches at all times, so the opening is free ingress and never locked from the outside. It is the function you want on a corridor or stair door that has to stay passable. If you need the outside trim locked off by key, that is a different function in the 87 Series, not the 8714DV.
4) Do I have to specify handing for the Detex 8714DV, or is it non-handed?
Handing matters. You order it Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though the device is field-reversible if the handing changes or the wrong hand shows up on site. If you want a genuinely non-handed device out of the box, the Marks USA M9900VR vertical rod is listed as non-handed.
5) What door sizes and heights does the Detex 87 Series concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and the rod length is ordered by door height: 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch. The 96 and 120 inch options are what you use on tall openings, so you do not have to splice or source longer rods separately.
6) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex 8714DV, and can I get it tornado rated?
Three rating options are offered: Fire Rated, Non-Rated, and Tornado Rated. Pick Fire Rated for a labeled stair or corridor door, Tornado Rated for a storm shelter or safe room opening in a school or civic building, and Non-Rated where no label applies. Note that dogging is not used on a fire rated opening.
7) Can I get the Detex 87 Series with an alarm or delayed egress instead of a plain mechanical device?
Yes, electrified options are part of the order: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request-to-exit signal switch, or EE delayed egress. EB suits a remote exit with no power run to the door, EX is the one to specify when the access control panel needs a REX input, and EE is for controlled egress where local code allows it. Choose None for a straight mechanical device.
8) Why choose a concealed vertical rod device over a surface vertical rod?
Concealed rods run inside the door, so there is nothing on the face to be kicked, vandalized, or grabbed, and the opening looks clean. That comes at the cost of door prep, so the door has to be prepped for concealed rods. 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 8827-3FT wide stile surface vertical rod or the Cal-Royal 9860.
9) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated as alternatives to the Detex 8714DV on a labeled door?
The Detex 8714DV can be ordered in a fire rated configuration. Fire rated peers include the Delaney F9100 Series device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, which is Grade 1 and fire rated, the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches. Both Marks devices are exit only, so if the opening needs an outside lever the 8714DV covers that with its lever always active trim.
10) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod exit device to the Detex 8714DV if surface mounted rods are acceptable?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 1, in the 88 Series, for 1-3/4 inch doors at 3 ft width. The Detex 8714DV is also Grade 1 and wide stile for hollow metal doors, but its rods are concealed in the door rather than surface applied, and it is ordered with a lever always active trim. Choose the 8827 when the door is already prepped for surface rods and no concealed rod routing is wanted.
11) If the opening only needs exit from the inside and no outside lever, what vertical rod device should be used instead of the Detex 8714DV?
Use an exit only device. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device configured exit only and non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device also configured exit only. The Detex 8714DV is built around a lever always active outside trim, so it carries outside hardware an exit only opening does not need. The 8714DV is also handed, ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, where the M9900VR is non-handed.
12) What dogging choices do I have on the Detex Advantex 87 Series device?
Three: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard low-cost way to hold the latches retracted during business hours. Cylinder dogging keys it to your system so only a keyholder can dog the device, which is what most schools and property managers want on a public opening. Order less/no dogging on fire rated doors.
13) My bottom bolt keeps dragging and the door won't re-latch reliably. Does the Detex 87 Series address that?
That is the specific problem the patented deadlocking system targets. A 6-position multi-step action in the top latch holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is actually closed, so the bottom bolt is not dragging across the threshold and the device re-latches consistently. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for weather strip thickness, so you can dial in alignment without shimming.
14) Can the outside trim be rekeyed without pulling the device off the door?
Yes. Outside trims on the Advantex 87 Series can be changed or rekeyed with the device still mounted, and the rods can be adjusted with the rods in the door. For a locksmith servicing a fleet of openings that is the difference between a ten minute call and a full removal and re-template.
15) How much door prep does the Detex 87 Series concealed device require?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate system to keep prep minimal and repeatable, and publishes door templates plus full installation instructions for the 87 Series. Template the door before you cut, since concealed rods require the rod channels in the door in addition to the chassis prep.
16) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 8714DV?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, not fire rated, and configured exit only. The Detex 8714DV is Grade 1 with concealed vertical rods, a lever always active outside trim, and fire rated and tornado rated build options. If the specification calls for Grade 1 or an outside lever, the 9860 will not answer it.
17) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device for a standard 36 by 84 inch non-rated door?
The Delaney 8100 Series device for a 36 by 84 inch door and the Delaney 9100 Series in stainless steel finish are both Grade 1 vertical rod devices, non-rated, sized for that single opening. The Detex 8714DV covers a broader range instead: 36 and 48 inch device widths, 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights, and nine finishes, with dogging and electrified options including request to exit and delayed egress. Use a Delaney device when one fixed non-rated opening is all that is being covered.
18) What finishes does the Detex 8714DV 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. 630 brushed stainless and 695 dark bronze are the usual picks for matching existing commercial openings.
