The Detex Narrow Trim Spacer is a specialized mounting accessory designed to enable proper installation of narrow lever trims—specifically those configured with spring-loaded tailpieces—on both Advantex and Value Series exit device systems. This spacer provides the required clearance and structural support when using Detex 02, 08, 09, or 14DN trim functions, ensuring that the tailpiece properly engages with the exit device mechanism for reliable and secure operation.
Ideal for use in narrow stile aluminum door applications, this spacer is essential for facilitating trim installation where standard mounting depth is insufficient due to the door profile or the use of DN-style narrow lever trims. Handing must be specified when ordering the trim separately.
