Detex F40 628 LD 99 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex Advantex 40 Series rim exit device be used on a pair of doors?
Yes, with a mullion. The Advantex 40 Series is a rim device, so it latches into a strike at the edge of the opening rather than at the head and sill. On a single door that strike sits on the frame; on a pair, you need a removable or fixed mullion for the second leaf's strike. If you want a pair with a clear opening and no mullion, you need a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod unit.
2) Is the Detex Advantex 40 Series fire rated, and can I use it on a fire door?
Fire rated, yes, and built to Grade 1. That means it is a fire exit device with no mechanical dogging permitted in service, since a fire door has to latch on every closing. It is listed for commercial use and tested past 1,000,000 cycles, twice the cycling required for Grade 1 UL testing. If your opening is not a fire door and you want to hold the latch retracted during business hours, a non-fire rated rim device is the better buy.
3) Which strike do I order with the Detex Advantex 40 Series, the 98 semi-mortise or the 99 surface?
Both are offered, and the choice is about frame prep. The 98 semi-mortise strike gets cut into the frame stop for a flatter, more finished look and a tighter latch engagement, which suits new work or a frame you are already prepping. The 99 surface strike screws onto the face of the stop with no routing, which is what you want on a retrofit or an aluminum frame you do not want to cut. Pick the strike at the same time as the finish, since each finish is built with either strike.
4) What electrified options can I add to a Detex Advantex 40 exit device?
Four, and you choose one at order time: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ER EX electric latch retraction with a request-to-exit switch. EA is the one for a door you want to stop people using as a shortcut. EX is what an access control integrator specifies to shunt an alarm on legitimate egress. ER EX ties the device into an access system so the latch pulls back on a valid credential. There is also a hurricane rating option to select yes or no.
5) What other 36 inch fire rated rim exit devices can replace a Detex Advantex 40 Series on a labeled opening?
For a 36 inch labeled door, the closest fire rated rim alternatives are the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim exit device and the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch fire rated rim device, which is exit only with a panic protector end cap. Both carry a fire rating like the Advantex 40 Series, which is Grade 1 and extra heavy duty. The Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device is another Grade 1 fire rated option. None of these are wood door compatible, and neither is the Advantex 40.
6) If the opening is not fire rated, what non-rated Grade 1 rim device is comparable to the Advantex 40 Series?
On a non-labeled 36 inch opening you can use a non-rated Grade 1 rim device such as the Von Duprin 22-3FT wide stile pushpad rim device, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED5200 Grade 1 36 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; or the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty panic rim device. All three are listed as not fire rated, so they cannot be swapped onto a labeled opening where the Advantex 40 Series fire rated device is specified.
7) I need a rim exit device for a 36 inch wood fire door. Does the Detex Advantex 40 Series work?
The Advantex 40 Series is not wood door compatible, so it is not the device for a wood leaf. Among fire rated rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is listed as wood door compatible and fire rated Grade 1, though it is a 30 inch narrow stile device with starwheel interlocking, so confirm the device length against your door width before ordering.
8) I need electric latch retraction on a fire rated 36 inch door. Is there an alternative to the Detex Advantex 40?
The Advantex 40 Series can be ordered with electrified options including ER EX electric latch retraction with request to exit switch, EX request to exit, EA hardwired electric alarm, and EE delayed egress, all on the fire rated Grade 1 device. The comparable fire rated electrified option is the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motorized electric latch retraction. The Sargent is a wide stile device, so check the stile width you have before switching.
9) Is the Detex Advantex 40 Series handed, and is it really narrow stile or wide stile?
Non-handed, so one device covers left and right hand openings and you do not have to carry two part numbers across a building. The device is built for narrow stile aluminum doors and is supplied with a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, which keeps the door prep minimal and accurate on a stile with little room to work with.
10) How does the Detex Advantex 40 compare to a Marks USA M9900F or Orca OED85 fire rated rim device?
All three are 36 inch fire rated rim devices for non-wood doors. The Marks USA M9900F is exit only with a panic protector end cap; the Orca OED85 is also exit only. The Advantex 40 differs in duty level and construction: Grade 1, extra heavy duty, stainless steel latch and PVD over stainless, cycled past 1,000,000. If the opening is high abuse or exterior-exposed, that construction is the reason to pay for the Detex. For a lower-traffic interior fire door, the Marks or Orca covers the same life safety function.
11) Can I dog down the Detex Advantex 40 Series to hold the door unlatched?
The 40 Series offers 1/8 turn hex or cylinder dogging, but on a fire rated opening mechanical dogging cannot be used, because a fire door has to latch every time it closes. If you need the pushbar dogged during the day on a fire-rated door, the correct route is the ER EX electric latch retraction option tied to a fire alarm release rather than mechanical dogging.
12) Will the Detex Advantex 40 latch into my existing strike if I am replacing another rim device?
Plan on using the supplied strike. The Advantex uses a deadlocking Pullman-type stainless latch bolt and ships with either the 98 semi-mortise or 99 surface strike, and the patented strike locator sets the strike position off the device itself. Reusing an existing strike from a different manufacturer's rim device is not something to count on, since the latch geometry and keeper depth differ brand to brand. The 99 surface strike is the easier swap when you do not want to recut the frame.
13) Does the 36 inch Detex Advantex 40 fit a 36 inch door exactly?
Yes, the 36 inch size is matched to a 36 inch wide door leaf. The latch bolt is field-sizeable, so minor fitting on the opening is handled at install. If your leaf is wider, order the corresponding device length rather than trying to stretch this one, since a panic bar must cover at least half the door width to meet egress requirements.
14) What is the difference between the Detex Advantex 40 Series and a Cal-Royal A9800 or 5000 rim device?
The Advantex 40 Series is a Grade 1, extra heavy duty, fire rated rim device. The Cal-Royal A9800 36 inch rim device and the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch touch bar rim device are both catalogued at Grade 2, heavy duty, and not fire rated. On a labeled egress opening or a high-cycle door, those are different classes of hardware, not a straight exchange.
15) Is a narrow stile device like the Falcon 19-R or TownSteel ED3700 an equivalent to the Advantex 40 Series?
They are similar in size but not equivalent. The Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 exit only narrow stile rim device, 36 inch, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700 is a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device; both are catalogued as not fire rated in the Falcon 1790 and TownSteel cases. The Advantex 40 Series is fire rated and extra heavy duty. Use the narrow stile Grade 1 devices where no label is involved and the device is being matched to an aluminum stile.
16) What is the difference between a rim device like the Advantex 40 and a Hager 4601 concealed vertical rod device?
The Advantex 40 Series is a rim device: the latch and strike sit at the door edge and frame stop. The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch and Hager 4501 Series 36 inch are Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices, which latch top and bottom through rods inside the door and require a door prepped for concealed rods. Both Hager units are catalogued as not fire rated, while the Advantex 40 Series is fire rated, so they are not interchangeable on a labeled opening.
17) Which alternatives to the Advantex 40 Series accept outside trim rather than being exit only?
The Advantex 40 Series as configured here is an exit only device. If the opening needs keyed or lever trim on the pull side, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 36 inch Grade 1 rim device and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device are both catalogued as exit only or accepting trim, and the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim device in a night latch function. All three are non-rated or non-fire-rated selections, so verify the label status of your opening.
18) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 40 Series exit device come in?
Eight: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 630 brushed stainless steel, and 693 black painted. All exposed surfaces are PVD finished over stainless steel, so if you are matching existing openings in a building with corrosive or high-touch exposure the finish holds up better than a plated base metal. 628 and 630 are the usual matches for aluminum storefront and hollow metal.
19) Is the Detex Advantex 40 suitable for an exterior door exposed to weather?
The 40 Series is not a weatherized device, so it is not built for direct exterior exposure as a sealed unit. That said, every exposed surface is PVD finished over stainless steel for corrosion resistance, which holds up well on a sheltered exterior opening. There is also a hurricane rating option if the opening falls under an impact requirement.
20) Is a crossbar exit device an acceptable substitute for the Advantex 40 Series push pad?
Only where a label is not involved. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device is an exit only wide stile unit; both are catalogued as not fire rated. The Advantex 40 Series is a 36 inch fire rated push pad device, so the crossbar units differ in operating style, length, and fire rating.
