Detex AGKIT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Detex Alarm Guard Kit actually do on an exit device?
The Detex AGKIT is an accessory kit of guard components that shield an exit device's mechanism from tampering and damage. It is not a panic device itself, so it does not latch or release the door. You add it to an existing exit device installation in commercial and institutional openings where the hardware takes abuse.
2) Will the Detex Alarm Guard Kit work on any panic bar, or only vertical rod devices?
The kit is engineered for vertical rod exit device systems. If your opening has a rim device or a mortise exit device, this is not the accessory for it. Check the device on the door before ordering, since the guard has to suit the vertical rod hardware it mounts over.
3) I need a whole new vertical rod exit device, not a guard kit. What are my options?
The Detex AGKIT is an add-on accessory, not a complete device. For a full surface vertical rod panic, ZenSupply carries the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, a Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, also Grade 1 wide stile. If you need a fire rated opening, look at the Delaney F9100 Series or the Marks USA M9900FVR for a 36 x 84 door.
4) Does the Detex Alarm Guard Kit replace a vertical rod exit device, or do I still need the device itself?
The Alarm Guard Kit is an accessory kit of guard components that protect an exit device mechanism from tampering and damage; it is used with a compatible vertical rod exit device, not in place of one. If you need the device itself, surface vertical rod panic devices include the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, a Grade 1 wide stile unit for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device for a 36 inch door.
5) My opening is fire rated. What vertical rod device should go under the guard hardware?
The Alarm Guard Kit is a protection accessory for vertical rod exit devices and carries no fire rating of its own. For a fire rated opening, fire rated vertical rod devices include the Delaney F9100 Series in Grade 1 for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, the Marks USA M9900FVR for a 36 by 84 inch door, exit only and non-handed, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR for a 48 by 84 inch door, exit only.
6) Can I install the Detex Alarm Guard Kit myself, or does it need the device manual?
Installation follows the parent exit device's instructions. The kit supplies the guard components; how they mount depends on the vertical rod device already on the door, so pull the device manufacturer's documentation and confirm the guard suits that hardware before you cut or drill anything.
7) We have a 48 inch wide leaf. Which vertical rod devices cover that width?
The Detex Alarm Guard Kit ships as a single AGKIT model with no width options, since it guards the device rather than spanning the door. For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered in a 48 by 84 inch exit only version, and the fire rated Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers the same 48 by 84 inch opening.
8) If I am specifying Grade 1 throughout the building, which vertical rod devices meet that with the guard kit?
The Alarm Guard Kit is a component kit built to Detex commercial standards for heavy use vertical rod installations and does not itself carry an ANSI grade. Grade 1 vertical rod devices include the Von Duprin 8827-3FT in the 88 Series, the Delaney 9100 Series in stainless steel for a 36 by 84 inch door, the Delaney 8100 Series for the same size, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series. If Grade 2 is acceptable on a non-rated opening, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 exit only surface vertical rod device.
9) Is the Detex Alarm Guard Kit suitable for a school or hospital exit door?
Yes. It is built for high traffic commercial and institutional use, including schools, healthcare facilities, office buildings, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. Those are exactly the openings where exit device hardware gets pulled on, propped, and tampered with.
10) How many versions of the Detex Alarm Guard Kit are there?
One. The kit is ordered as model AGKIT, with no finish or size options to specify. All you need to confirm is that the vertical rod device on your door is the type the guard suits.
11) Will the Alarm Guard Kit add alarmed exit function to a plain panic device?
The Alarm Guard Kit supplies guard components that shield exit device mechanisms from tampering and damage on vertical rod installations; it is an accessory kit rather than a complete exit device. Devices such as the Cal-Royal 9860 and the Marks USA M9900VR are exit only surface vertical rod units, so confirm the exit function you need is provided by the device itself before adding guard hardware.
