Detex 40 628 HD 99 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 40 Series work on a wood door?
No. The Advantex 40 Series is not rated for wood doors. If your opening is wood, look at an Adams Rite 3700 Series or 8700 Series rim device, both of which are listed as wood door compatible.
2) Does a 48 inch exit device mean my door has to be exactly 48 inches wide?
The 40 Series 48 inch device is sized for 48 inch doors and is field sizeable, so it can be cut down for a precise fit on a narrower leaf rather than forcing you to swap sizes. Don't stretch it the other way: for a door wider than 48 inches you need a longer device.
3) Can I use this rim device on a pair of doors?
Yes, with a mullion. The Advantex 40 Series is a rim device, so the latch throws into a strike on the frame or on a removable mullion; on a pair without a mullion there is nothing for the latch to catch. Detex lists it for narrow stile single and double doors with mullions. If you can't use a mullion on the pair, a vertical rod device is the right type instead, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod.
4) Do I have to choose a strike type when ordering the Advantex 40?
Yes, and it depends on your frame. Two strikes are offered: the 98 semi-mortise strike, which needs the frame cut in, and the 99 surface strike, which mounts to the face of an unprepared frame. On a retrofit where the existing frame already has a mortised strike cutout, the 98 usually keeps the appearance clean; on new or unmodified hollow metal frames the 99 is the faster install.
5) What electrified options can I get on the Detex Advantex 40 Series?
Four, plus a plain mechanical version. EA is a hardwired electric alarm on the device. EX is a request-to-exit signal switch for tying the door into an access control system. EE is delayed egress. ER EX combines electric latch retraction with a request-to-exit switch, which is what you want when the door has to be released remotely or held retracted by the access system.
6) The Detex Advantex 40 Series is not fire rated - what fire-rated rim exit device can I use on a 48-inch labeled opening instead?
The Detex Advantex 40 Series 48-inch device carries a Fire Rating of No, so for a labeled opening at that width the Marks USA M9900F 48-inch fire rated rim panic exit device is the direct alternative, exit only with a Panic Protector end cap. Other fire-rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim device and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30-inch fire-rated narrow stile rim device with Starwheel interlocking.
7) My drawing calls for a true narrow stile rim device - is the Detex 40 Series the right pick?
The Detex Advantex 40 Series 48-inch device is catalogued with a Stile Type of Wide Stile. If the aluminum stile on the opening demands a narrow stile chassis, peers specified as narrow stile include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO Grade 1 narrow stile exit-only devices, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 Grade 1 narrow stile devices, and the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile exit-only non-handed device.
8) What looks like a substitute for the Detex Advantex 40 Series rim device but will not work in the same door prep?
Concealed vertical rod devices are a different prep entirely: the Hager 4501 Series and Hager 4601 Series are 36-inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit devices, which latch top and bottom into the frame and floor rather than into a rim strike like the Detex 40 Series. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12-inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 devices, a component and not a panic device. The SDC SureExit PSB560 Series is a pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 Series a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, neither of which carries a latch bolt the way the Detex Pullman-type latch does.
9) What dogging options does the Detex Advantex 40 Series come with, and can I get it without dogging?
Three choices: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Cylinder dogging lets staff hold the pushbar down with a key, which suits a retail or school entry that goes push-pull during business hours. Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key and is the lower cost route for maintenance staff. Less dogging is there for openings where you do not want the latch held retracted at all.
10) Do I need to order the Advantex 40 handed?
No. It is non-handed, so one device covers left and right hand openings. That is useful if you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
11) Is the Detex Advantex 40 durable enough for a high traffic entrance?
It's built for it. Grade 1, extra heavy duty, and tested beyond 1,000,000 cycles, which is twice the cycling Grade 1 UL testing requires. Exposed surfaces are finished over stainless steel with a PVD process, and the latch is a stainless steel deadlocking Pullman type. The angled end cap is there to take abuse and push damage away from the device, which matters on a school or warehouse door that gets hit by carts.
12) Can I use the Advantex 40 on an exterior door exposed to weather or in a hurricane zone?
The 40 Series is not a weatherized device, so it should not be treated as a sealed exterior unit. A hurricane rated configuration is offered as an ordering choice, so if your opening is in a wind-borne debris zone you need to specify the hurricane option rather than assume the standard build covers it.
13) What are the closest alternatives to the Detex Advantex 40 for a 48 inch door?
Among 48 inch non fire rated rim devices, the Dormakaba 9300 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile exit-only device listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Sargent's 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible rim devices for a 48 inch minimum door width. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar panic device if you want a crossbar look rather than a pushpad. If budget drives the job over cycle life, Cal-Royal's 5500 is a 48 inch push bar device rated Heavy Duty, Grade 2.
14) I need request-to-exit signaling on an aluminum storefront door. Is the Detex Advantex 40 the right pick or should I look at a sense bar?
If you need mechanical panic hardware that also reports exits, the Advantex 40 with the EX request-to-exit switch does both in one device, and ER EX adds electric latch retraction. If the door is held by a maglock and you only need a release and signal rather than a latch, SDC's MSB550 mechanical switch bar or the SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar are the alternative approach, and both are listed for narrow or wide stile doors.
15) What is a lighter-duty alternative to the Detex 40 Series for a 48-inch door in a low-traffic opening?
The Detex Advantex 40 Series is Grade 1 and extra heavy duty. Where a lower duty classification is acceptable, the Cal-Royal 5500 48-inch wide rim exit device with push bar is Grade 2 heavy duty and non-fire-rated, and the Cal-Royal A9820 Series 48-inch exit-only rim device is likewise Grade 2 heavy duty. Both are listed as not wood door compatible, the same as the Detex.
16) If I need access control on the exit device instead of the Detex electrified options, what other electrified rim devices are there?
The Detex Advantex 40 Series is ordered with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit switch, EE delayed egress, and ER EX electric latch retraction with request-to-exit. If a different platform is required, the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is a 36-inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4-inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36-inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motorized electric latch retraction.
17) The Detex 40 Series is exit only - what rim device should I order if the outside needs to be keyed for entry?
The Detex Advantex 40 Series 48-inch device is shown as exit only and is ordered with cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Where outside key control is part of the function, the Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow design rim exit device, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 are Grade 1 devices listed as exit only and accepting trim, which allows an outside trim to be added.
18) I am standardizing exit hardware across a campus on Grade 1 wide stile rim devices - what peers match the Detex 40 Series specification?
The Detex Advantex 40 Series is Grade 1, extra heavy duty, wide stile, commercial, and non-fire-rated. Peers holding a Grade 1 wide stile specification include the TownSteel ED1100 and ED9700 heavy duty Grade 1 devices, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 and ED5200 Grade 1 wide stile devices, the DORMA 8300 Series Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, and the Imperial USA ED-501 Grade 1 wide stile rim panic device. All are listed as non-fire-rated.
19) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 40 Series come in for matching other doors in a building?
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 are applied over stainless steel using a PVD process, so a 630 or 628 device will hold its look on a heavily used entry better than a plated finish.
20) What makes installing the Detex Advantex 40 different from other rim exit devices?
It ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system instead of a paper template, so the device and its strike are located off the hardware itself. That removes the usual cause of a rim device not latching cleanly, which is a strike marked slightly off. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list for the Advantex 10/40 devices.
21) Are there other non-handed Grade 1 rim exit devices comparable to the Detex Advantex 40 Series?
The Detex Advantex 40 Series is a non-handed device. Other non-handed or reversible peers include the Von Duprin 22-3FT wide stile pushpad rim device, 36 inch, Grade 1, non-fire-rated for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Sargent 2828 and 3828, both Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48-inch doors; the BEST Precision 5101 Series non-handed universal rim device; and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
