Detex 96B STRIKE KIT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 96B strike work with any brand of vertical rod exit device?
No. The 96B is built for Detex 50 Series surface vertical rod devices and nothing else is called out. Bottom strikes are not generic: the pocket depth, the throw of the bottom latch, and the mounting hole pattern have to match the device that drops into it. If you have a surface vertical rod device from another maker, get that maker's matching bottom strike. For a brand-neutral floor strike, the Trimco 3911 Series adjustable dust proof strike is the type to look at, since the adjustable design lets you tune the pocket to the latch you have.
2) My bottom rod on a Detex exit device is not latching into the floor anymore. Is the 96B the replacement part?
If the device is a Detex 50 Series surface vertical rod and the problem is at the floor, the 96B bottom strike is the part that goes there. A bottom strike that has been kicked loose, packed with grit, or worn oversize is the usual reason the bottom rod stops holding. Before you replace it, check that the bottom rod itself is still adjusted to the right length, because a short rod will fail to seat even in a new strike.
3) Can a Trimco 3911 adjustable dust proof strike be used instead of the Detex 96B strike kit?
They are not direct replacements for each other. The Detex 96B Strike Kit is a bottom dust proof strike built specifically for Detex 50 Series surface vertical rod exit devices, so the bottom rod and latch geometry of that device family is what it is cut for. The Trimco 3911 is a general-purpose adjustable dust proof strike, not tied to a particular exit device series. On a 50 Series surface vertical rod opening, stay with the 96B; on a pair of doors where an inactive leaf flush bolt or a non-Detex bottom rod drops into the floor, a general adjustable strike such as the 3911 is the type of part to look at.
4) Is the Detex 96B just the strike plate, or does it come with the parts to mount it?
It ships as a kit, not a bare plate. Detex packages the 96B with the components needed to install it and tie it into an existing 50 Series device. Follow the installation instructions for the exit device itself for the floor prep and the bottom rod adjustment, since the strike has to be set where the rod actually lands.
5) Do I need a bottom strike at all, or can I run the exit device less bottom rod?
Only if the device is actually set up with a bottom rod. Surface vertical rod devices are commonly ordered less bottom rod (LBR), in which case there is nothing to latch at the floor and the 96B has no purpose. The 96B belongs on a full two-point 50 Series SVR installation where the bottom rod throws down into the floor. Check the device on the door first: if there is no rod running below the crossbar, you do not need this strike.
6) I manage several buildings with Detex exit devices. Will the 96B match the strikes already in my floors?
It will if those openings run Detex 50 Series surface vertical rod devices, since the 96B is the bottom strike for that series and it is part of the 90 Strike Series that Detex keeps consistent across its lines. That makes it a reasonable part to stock if you are standardizing floor strikes across a portfolio. Where an opening uses a different Detex device family or a different brand, the bottom strike will not be the same part.
7) What is the difference between an adjustable dust proof strike and the Detex 96B strike kit?
The Detex 96B is a fixed, series-matched part: it is the bottom strike supplied for 50 Series surface vertical rod exit devices and comes as a kit with the components needed to integrate with that device. The Trimco 3911 is an adjustable dust proof strike, meaning the strike height is set at installation rather than fixed by the device it serves. If the opening already has Detex 50 Series surface vertical rod hardware, the 96B is the matched component; if you are specifying a floor strike for a bolt that is not part of a matched device set, the adjustable style gives you field latitude.
8) We standardize floor strikes across a building. Does the Detex 96B work as a universal dust proof strike?
No. The 96B is engineered for Detex 50 Series surface vertical rod exit devices, so it should be ordered per opening that carries that device rather than stocked as a building-wide floor strike. For openings with mixed or unmatched bottom bolts, a general adjustable dust proof strike such as the Trimco 3911 Series is the part type that standardizes across a facility. Many commercial buildings end up carrying both: the device-specific 96B for the Detex exit device openings and a general adjustable strike everywhere else.
9) Is the Detex 96B strike rated for commercial traffic, or is it a light-duty part?
It is a commercial-grade component, classified for commercial rather than residential use, and it is used on office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities. That matters because a floor strike takes foot traffic, mop water, and cart wheels directly, so the duty rating of the strike should match the exit device it serves.
