Detex FV40 LD 628 99 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Detex V40 exit device handed, and which hand do I order?
Handing matters on the order. The V40 is offered in Right Hand Reverse and Left Hand Reverse, which are the two hands that apply to an out-swinging exit door. Stand outside the opening: if the door is hinged on your right and swings toward you, it is right hand reverse. The device itself is field sizeable and non-handed in construction, but you still pick the hand when ordering.
2) Can the Detex V40 exit device be dogged open for daytime traffic?
Not on the fire rated version. The V40 rail design covers hex key dogging with a 1/8 turn, but every fire rated configuration is ordered Less Dogging. Fire exit hardware cannot be held retracted, so if you need the latch dogged back during business hours you want a panic-only (non-fire) rim device instead.
3) Will the Detex V40 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V40 is a wide stile device sized for a 36 inch door, and it will not mount on a narrow stile aluminum frame. For storefront, look at a narrow stile rim device: the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the fire rated narrow stile option, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or TownSteel ED3700 are non-fire narrow stile choices.
4) Does the Detex V40 fit an existing 161 door prep?
Yes. The V40 covers a 161 prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep on a hollow metal door, so a door previously carrying a cylindrical lockset can take the device without patching. Detex also supplies a mounting plate and strike locator system in place of a paper template, which is what sets the strike position off the device itself.
5) Can I get the Detex V40 with a built-in alarm or delayed egress?
Yes, three electrified builds are available beyond the standard mechanical device: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with its own battery, and EE delayed egress. EB is the one to pick where you cannot pull power to the door. Delayed egress is code-restricted by occupancy, so confirm your local authority allows it on that opening before specifying EE.
6) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront, not wide stile. What fire rated rim device fits instead of the Detex V40?
The Detex V40 is a wide stile device, so it is not the one for a narrow stile aluminum frame. The Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, and it is also listed as wood door compatible. For non-fire narrow stile openings the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch and the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch are both Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices.
7) What is a fire rated alternative to the Detex V40 36 inch rim exit device on a 36 inch opening?
Two direct fire rated 36 inch rim options are the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch fire rated rim exit device, which is exit only with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim exit device, also exit only. The Detex V40 36 inch is Grade 1 fire rated wide stile and accepts outside trim including 03P night latch, 08BN classroom lever and 09BN storeroom lever, so if the opening needs keyed outside access the V40 covers it in one device where the exit only peers would need the door to be pull side only.
8) I need the same Detex V40 device on a 48 inch door instead of 36 inch. What should I order?
The Detex V40 is catalogued at 36 inch size, so for a 48 inch fire rated opening the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated rim panic device is the closest fire rated peer, supplied exit only with a panic protector end cap. If the 48 inch opening is not fire rated, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device and the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile rim device is Grade 1 exit only for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
9) I need delayed egress on a 36 inch exit door. Is the Detex V40 the right choice or should I look at an electrified bar?
The Detex V40 36 inch is offered with an EE delayed egress option as well as EA hardwired electric alarm and EB battery electric alarm, all on the same Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device. If instead you need a bar that signals an access control system rather than a mechanical latch, the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar uses tri-failsafe technology; both suit narrow or wide stile but neither is fire rated.
10) What outside trim options can I get with the Detex V40 exit device, and can I run it exit only?
Nine trim configurations are offered. Exit Only gives you no outside operation at all. For key-retracted entry there is 03A and 03P night latch trim, plus narrow versions 03AN and 03PN. Lever trims are 08BN classroom and 09BN storeroom. If you want a pull-free flat face outside, order the 01P blank plate or 01PN narrow blank plate.
11) Will the Detex V40 latch into my existing rim strike?
The V40 uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type latch bolt, which is the standard rim exit throw, so it works with a standard surface rim strike on the frame stop. Detex includes a strike locator to set the strike from the device rather than from a template, so on a retrofit plan on repositioning the strike rather than assuming the old one lines up.
12) Is the Detex V40 strong enough for a high abuse back door or a school exterior?
It is built as heavy-duty Grade 1 hardware with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, ABS and anodized surfaces, and the latch assembly withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force. That pull force number is the one that matters on a pry-prone service or rear exit door.
13) Can the Detex V40 be used on an exterior door exposed to weather?
It is not a weatherized device. For a fully exposed opening with driving rain or coastal exposure, specify hardware built for it; the V40 does offer a hurricane rated build option if that is the requirement on your drawing.
14) Will a rim exit device like the Detex V40 secure a pair of doors?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame, so on a pair it needs a removable mullion between the leaves to latch into. With no mullion, a rim device has nothing to catch and you should be looking at vertical rod hardware instead, such as a concealed vertical rod device in the Hager 4501 wide stile line. On a single opening the V40 needs only the frame strike.
15) The opening is not fire rated. Is there a simpler wide stile 36 inch rim device than the Detex V40?
Yes. On a non-rated 36 inch wide stile opening the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch is Grade 1 wide stile exit only. The TownSteel ED1100 36 inch is another Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device. The Detex V40 differs in carrying a fire rating and in offering hardwired and battery electric alarm and delayed egress variants.
16) How does the Detex V40 compare with a Grade 2 rim device like the Cal-Royal 5000?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, heavy duty, and not fire rated. The Detex V40 36 inch is Grade 1 and fire rated, with a 3/4 inch stainless deadlocking Pullman latch rated over 1400 pounds of static pull. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 1 panic and fire exit hardware, the Cal-Royal 5000 will not satisfy it.
17) What looks like a substitute for the Detex V40 rim device but will not work on the same door prep?
Two to watch. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device but it is a concealed vertical rod, not a rim device, so it needs top and bottom rod prep rather than a rim strike. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device but it is supplied in a dummy function with RX and MELR, so it does not latch the way the Detex V40 does with its Pullman latch bolt.
18) Is there another fire rated Grade 1 rim device if I do not need the Detex V40 outside trim options?
The Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim exit device is Grade 1 and fire rated, and the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are simpler devices than the Detex V40, which is field sizeable, non-handed, and takes 01P blank plate, 03A and 03P night latch, 08BN classroom lever and 09BN storeroom lever trims in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum.
19) What finishes does the Detex V40 exit device come in?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the usual match for aluminum storefront and most existing exit hardware in a commercial building; 711 black is the one to pick where the rest of the openings are dark anodized. If you are standardizing across a property, pick one and carry it on every V40 you order.
