Detex 87EUV-693-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 87EUV work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 87EUV is a concealed vertical rod device built for hollow metal doors without a mullion. Because it latches at the head and the sill rather than into a center post, it secures a pair of doors and leaves the full opening clear when both leaves swing. If you want a rim device instead, you would need to add a mullion between the leaves.
2) What door sizes and heights does the Detex Advantex 87 Series concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device widths are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are built for 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. Pick the height that matches your actual leaf, since the concealed rods run the full height of the door and are not something you cut to fit on site.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 87EUV, or can I fix it in the field?
Handing is an order choice, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device is field-reversible if you end up with the wrong one. Exit devices mount on the push side, so both options are reverse-bevel designations.
4) Can I get the Detex 87 Series concealed vertical rod device fire rated?
Yes. The 87EUV is offered fire rated, non-rated, or tornado rated. Note that fire rated openings cannot use dogging, so order the less/no dogging option on a fire door; hex dogging and cylinder dogging are for non-rated openings where you want the pushpad held down during business hours.
5) What does the electric lock/unlock function on the Detex 87EUV actually do?
It lets an access control system lock or unlock the outside trim electrically, so the opening can be scheduled or released from a card reader or a front desk. Free egress from the inside is never affected: pushing the pad always retracts the bolts. If you instead need a signal back to the panel telling you someone exited, that is the EX request to exit switch option, not the lock/unlock function.
6) Will a wide stile Detex 87 device fit an aluminum storefront door?
No. The 87EUV is a wide stile device specified for hollow metal doors. Narrow stile aluminum storefront leaves do not have the face width to take it. For a hollow metal or wood pair it is the right family.
7) I only need exit-only panic hardware with no access control. What should I look at instead of the Detex 87EUV?
The Detex Advantex 87EUV is built around an electric lock/unlock function for access control integration. If the opening needs nothing more than free egress, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device in exit-only function and non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, also exit only, in 36 inch. Both leave out the electrified trim and wiring the 87EUV is designed for.
8) What fire rated vertical rod exit devices compare to the Detex 87EUV?
The Detex Advantex 87EUV can be ordered in a fire rated configuration alongside non-rated and tornado rated options. Among other vertical rod devices, the Delaney F9100 Series device for a 36 x 84 door is Grade 1 and fire rated in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 x 84 and the M9900F-VR at 48 x 84, both fire rated and exit only. The Delaney and Marks devices are exit-only style hardware without the 87EUV electric lock/unlock function.
9) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 87EUV?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device in exit only function and is not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 87EUV is Grade 1 and is available in fire rated as well as non-rated and tornado rated configurations, with an electric lock/unlock function. If the spec calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
10) Which electrified option should I add to the Detex Advantex 87 device?
Five choices on that axis: None, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and EB electric alarm with battery. Use EB where there is no power run to the door, EA where there is. EE delayed egress is for doors you want to hold for the code-permitted delay before releasing, typically retail and healthcare exits. EX is the one integrators pick when the panel needs to know the door was used.
11) Is the Detex 87EUV suitable for a high-traffic school or hospital exit?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device built for high-use, high-abuse openings, with a steel bottom drop bolt and patented deadlocking top and bottom bolts. The 6-position multi-step action keeps both bolts retracted until the door closes, which is what makes re-latching consistent on doors that get slammed hundreds of times a day.
12) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod: which should I order?
Concealed rods, like the Advantex 87EUV, run inside the door, so nothing is exposed to vandalism or carts and the opening looks clean. They require a door prepped or prepped-ready for concealed rods. Surface rods bolt to the face of the door and are the retrofit answer when the existing leaf has no concealed prep, for example the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile surface vertical rod or the Imperial USA ED-VR531.
13) Can I rekey or swap the outside trim on a Detex Advantex 87 without pulling the device off the door?
No need to remove it. Outside trims on the 87 Series change out or rekey with the device still mounted, which matters when a tenant turns over and you are rekeying a run of exits. The top strike also adjusts vertically and for varying weather strip thickness, so you can re-set latching without re-drilling.
14) Is there a Grade 1 vertical rod device without the electrified features for a budget opening?
Yes, several. The Delaney 8100 Series and the 9100 Series are Grade 1 vertical rod devices for a 36 x 84 door, and the Delaney F9100 Series is the Grade 1 fire rated version. If Grade 2 is acceptable on a light-duty interior exit, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod. Those are mechanical devices; none of them gives you the electric lock/unlock control the Detex 87EUV provides.
15) Which vertical rod exit device should I use on a 1-3/4 inch hollow metal door with no mullion?
The Detex Advantex 87EUV is designed for hollow metal doors without a mullion, in a wide stile configuration, and is field-reversible for right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If a surface-mounted rod is acceptable, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The 87EUV conceals the rods in the door; the 8827 mounts them on the door face.
16) We need a 48 inch wide vertical rod device. What are the options besides the Detex 87EUV?
The Detex Advantex 87EUV is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes across 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights. For 48 inch openings from other makers, Marks USA lists the M9900VR at 48 x 84 as a non-rated exit-only vertical rod device and the M9900F-VR at 48 x 84 as the fire rated exit-only version. Both are sized for 84 inch door height only.
17) What is the difference between the Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series vertical rod devices and the Detex 87EUV?
The Delaney 8100 Series device for a 36 x 84 door is Grade 1 and non-rated, and the Delaney 9100 Series device for a 36 x 84 door is Grade 1 heavy duty and non-rated in a stainless steel finish. Both are single-size mechanical vertical rod devices. The Detex Advantex 87EUV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with an electric lock/unlock function, ordered by handing, dogging type, size, door height and finish.
18) I need to match the finish across a building's exits. What finishes does the Detex 87 Series come in?
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 choices for standardizing across a commercial hollow metal fleet.
19) How much door prep does the Detex 87EUV require?
Minimal, relative to most concealed rod devices. The patented mounting plate system is what carries the device, so the prep is reduced and more repeatable. Detex publishes door prep templates and full installation instructions for the 87 Series, and running the template before you drill is the whole point of the system.
