Detex DX2 GRAY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Detex DX hinge bolt and why would I add one to a door that already has a deadbolt?
The Detex DX Series hinge bolts are passive dead bolts mounted on the hinge side of the opening, not the lock side. They do nothing when you turn a key; they engage as the door closes so that if someone cuts or pulls the hinges off an out-swing door, the hinge edge stays pinned in the frame and the door will not come out. It is a second line of defense behind whatever lock or panic device is on the strike side, in one-piece stainless steel. If you are protecting the latch side, this is not the part - you want a keyed deadbolt like the Cal-Royal CRB800 or Hager 3215 instead.
2) Do Detex hinge bolts work with Detex panic hardware on the same door?
Yes, they are made to. The DX bolts work with all Detex panic hardware, so an exterior exit door running a Detex exit device on the strike side can carry hinge bolts on the other edge without conflict. They are passive, so they add no operation for the person exiting - the door still opens on one motion of the push bar.
3) What is the difference between the DX1, DX2 and DX3 hinge bolts?
Count of bolts, and nothing else. DX1 is a single hinge bolt, DX2 is a pair, DX3 is three. You match the count to the hinge count and the height of the opening: one bolt on a short or light door, two on a standard commercial leaf, three on a tall or high-risk exterior opening where you want the hinge edge held at top, middle and bottom. All three configurations are ordered off the same series in black or gray.
4) I manage a building with rear exit doors that keep getting pried at the hinges. Do I need to replace the whole door hardware?
Not usually. The DX bolts are a retrofit onto the existing out-swing door, so the lock, the exit device and the door itself stay. They install to the door and frame on the hinge edge and hold that side shut even if the hinges are removed. That is a cheaper fix than a new door and it does not change how anybody uses the opening, since nothing has to be operated.
5) Are the Detex DX hinge bolts a substitute for a deadbolt on the lock side?
No, and treating them as one leaves the opening open. Hinge bolts secure the hinge edge only. The strike edge still needs its own lock. If the strike-side lock is what you are actually shopping for, the comparable commercial deadbolts include the Design Hardware D1 Series Grade 1 double cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter DB1000 Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, or the Hager 3118 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) What can I use instead of a Detex DX hinge bolt if I need a keyed deadbolt on the lock side of the door?
The Detex DX Series bolts are passive hinge-side dead bolts, meaning they engage automatically as the door closes and are not operated by a key or thumbturn. For a keyed deadbolt on the lock edge, the Hager 3215 is a single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range. Many openings use both: a keyed deadbolt on the strike side and hinge bolts opposite it.
7) Is a hinge bolt the same as a one-sided deadbolt?
No. A one-sided deadbolt such as the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 half-bore unit thrown by a thumbturn from the inside only, so someone has to operate it. The Detex DX Series hinge bolts are passive: they hold the hinge edge whenever the door is closed, and the DX design keeps the door locked even if the hinges are cut off. They solve different halves of the same door.
8) I need to lock an out-swing exit door that people leave through but nobody enters. What are my options besides hinge bolts?
Detex DX Series bolts are made for out-swing doors and work alongside Detex panic hardware, but they secure the hinge edge only. For the lock edge of an exit-only door, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so there is no outside key access at all. If you do want a key from outside, the Arrow E61 26D IC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock prepped for a small format interchangeable core, less core, over the same thickness range.
9) My door is an in-swing door. Will the DX hinge bolts work, and what should I look at instead?
The Detex DX Series is designed to be added to out-swing door applications, where the hinge barrels are on the exterior and exposed. On an in-swing door the hinges are already protected on the inside, and the security work goes to the lock edge: the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Can hinge bolts be added to exterior doors that get weather, or will they rust?
Stainless steel throughout, one piece, which is why they are called out for exterior use and doors exposed to moisture. That is the usual case anyway, since the hinge-side attack they defend against only exists on an out-swing exterior opening.
11) Are Detex DX hinge bolts keyed, and does anyone need a key to use the door?
They are not keyed at all. There is no cylinder, no thumbturn, no core. The bolt seats itself when the door closes and releases when it opens, so keying is a non-question here. If you need a keyed hinge-side or auxiliary lock, that is a different part - something like the Arrow E61 single cylinder deadlock or the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock.
12) What is the difference between the Detex DX multi-point hinge bolts and a multi-point mortise deadlock?
The DX Series reaches multi-point security by adding bolts down the hinge edge, in DX1 single, DX2 double, and DX3 triple configurations, all one-piece stainless steel. A mortise deadlock such as the International Door Closers DH-1821 takes a different approach: a hook bolt with a flat faceplate mortised into the lock edge, which resists spreading on the strike side rather than the hinge side. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick if the opening is thicker than standard.
13) For an exterior door exposed to weather, how do the Detex DX bolts compare to a standard commercial deadbolt?
The DX Series is one-piece stainless steel, which is why it is specified for exterior doors and doors exposed to moisture. Among lock-edge deadbolts, the Delaney LU Series 320601 is a Grade 2 double cylinder unit supplied in stainless steel US32D finish, and the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. On an exterior opening the two are commonly combined, with the hinge bolts handling the pin side.
14) Can I standardize a facility on hinge bolts alone, or do I still need graded deadbolts for the spec?
Hinge bolts like the Detex DX Series are a supplementary line of defense on the hinge edge of commercial out-swing doors; the primary locking function still comes from a graded lock on the strike edge. Where a spec calls Grade 1, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty deadbolt with adjustable backset and the Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where Grade 2 satisfies the spec, the Falcon D211 is a medium duty Grade 2 single cylinder unit and the Dexter DB2000 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) Is the Detex DX a drop-in replacement for a tubular deadbolt in an existing 2-1/8 inch bore?
No. The DX Series mounts as hinge-side bolts on the hinge edge and does not use a standard cross-bore. A tubular deadbolt that does fit that prep is the Bravura 310B Elite, a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt in cylinder by thumbturn function, or the Cal-Royal ED500, a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the DX bolts to add hinge-edge protection alongside that deadbolt, not in place of it.
16) Which product should I order if I actually need an electric deadbolt tied into access control, not a passive hinge bolt?
The Detex DX bolts have no electrical connection; they throw mechanically as the door closes. For an opening released by an access control system, the DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt, and the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt. Hinge bolts can still be added to the same out-swing door for hinge-edge protection.
17) What finishes do the Detex hinge bolts come in?
Black and gray, and both are offered in the single, double and triple bolt configurations. On an exterior service or rear exit door the choice is usually just whichever disappears against the door face.
18) Is there an installation template or instructions for the Detex DX hinge bolts?
Yes. Detex publishes installation instructions for the DX bolts, and there is a video showing them installed alongside an ECL-230X. Follow the manufacturer template for hole locations on both the door and the frame, since the bolt and its receiver have to line up within the swing clearance of the leaf.
19) Are these hinge bolts rated for commercial traffic or are they residential?
Commercial. Detex lists the DX Series as commercial hardware, and the typical placement is rear exits and service doors on office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses and multi-tenant residential - the openings that get attacked when nobody is watching.
20) I want keyless entry on the same door as the hinge bolts. What deadbolt pairs with them?
The Detex DX bolts are passive and add no user operation, so they sit behind whatever access method is chosen for the lock edge. Keyless options include the Codelocks CL200 surface deadbolt with key override, a light duty mechanical code lock, and the Codelocks CL2200 electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, rated medium duty. For credential-based access the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override.
