Detex V40 HD 628 99 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Detex V40?
Yes. The V40 is ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, so stand outside the opening and check which way the door swings before you order. The device body itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but the order still carries a hand, and the outside trim and strike locate off it.
2) Will the Detex V40 mount on my existing 161 door prep?
Yes. The V40 covers a standard 161 prep, which is the cylindrical lock prep already cut into most commercial hollow metal doors, so replacing a knob or lever set with the V40 usually needs no new routing on the door face. It ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, so the strike lines up off the device rather than off a measurement.
3) Will the Detex V40 latch into the rim strike I already have on the frame?
The V40 uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type latch bolt, the standard rim device latch, and it throws into a surface mounted rim strike on the frame stop. If your existing strike was cut for another rim exit device with the same 3/4 inch throw, the bolt will engage, but the V40 ships with its own strike locator so the cleanest install is to set the supplied strike off the device rather than reuse an old one.
4) What dogging options come on the Detex V40 and which one do I want for a door held open during business hours?
Three: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key to hold the pushpad depressed so the door stays push-pull during open hours, and it is the usual pick for a back-of-house or maintenance opening. Cylinder dogging swaps the hex socket for a keyed cylinder, so only someone with the key can dog it down, which is what you want on a tenant or public opening where you do not want staff dogging the door at will. Less dogging leaves the feature off entirely.
5) I need a Detex exit device that alarms when someone pushes the door open. What do I order?
The V40 is configurable with an alarm at order time. EA is a hardwired electric alarm, EB is an electric alarm running on battery so you do not have to pull power to the door, and EE is delayed egress, which holds the door for a delay after the pad is pressed before releasing. If you just want a mechanical device with no alarm, order the None option on that axis.
6) Can I get outside trim on the Detex V40 or is it exit only?
Either. The V40 takes nine outside configurations: Exit Only with nothing on the pull side, blank plate (01P) or narrow blank plate (01PN), night latch pull trim (03A, 03AN narrow), night latch trim (03P, 03PN narrow), classroom lever trim (08BN), or storeroom lever trim (09BN). Pick night latch if the outside should be locked with key access only, classroom if a key needs to leave the lever unlocked for a period, storeroom if the outside lever stays locked at all times. The trim is modular and can be changed or rekeyed without pulling the device off the door.
7) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - what rim exit device should be used instead of the Detex V40?
The V40 is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront needs a narrow stile device. The Adams Rite 8800 Series at 30 inches is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches that ships exit only or accepts trim, and the Falcon 19-R is Grade 1 narrow stile exit only at 36 inches.
8) The opening needs a fire rated exit device - what replaces the Detex V40 on a fire door?
The V40 is panic hardware, not fire exit hardware, so a labeled opening needs a different device. Fire rated rim options at 36 inches include the Marks USA M9900F, exit only with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca Hardware OED85, also exit only. The Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim device is Grade 1. For narrow stile aluminum fire doors, the Adams Rite 3700 Series at 30 inches is fire rated, Grade 1, and works on wood doors as well.
9) The door is wood - can a Detex V40 go on it, and what rim device can?
The V40 is not wood door compatible. Among rim exit devices that are, the Adams Rite 8700 Series at 30 inches is Grade 1 narrow stile with starwheel interlocking and is wood door compatible, and the fire rated Adams Rite 3700 Series at 30 inches is also Grade 1 and wood door compatible. Both are narrow stile designs, so confirm the stile width on the wood door before ordering.
10) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex V40 if the V40 does not work out?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is the nearest straight equivalent: a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim exit device covering a 36 inch door, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V40 is also Grade 1 wide stile at 36 inches, but it is ordered handed as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, so the Von Duprin removes the handing decision at the order stage. Other Grade 1 wide stile rim devices at 36 inches include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the TownSteel ED1100, both of which accept trim or ship as exit only.
11) The opening is a 48 inch door - what takes the place of the 36 inch Detex V40?
The V40 covered here is a 36 inch device, so a 48 inch leaf needs a longer device. The Dormakaba DORMA 9300 Series is a 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device, exit only, for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch doors. The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device at Grade 2.
12) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for a Detex V40 exit device?
No - they solve a different problem. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both fit narrow or wide stile doors and act as the release for a separate locking device. The Detex V40 is itself the latching hardware, with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt that secures the door. If the door is held by a mag lock, the SDC bars are the right family; if the door has to latch on its own, the V40 does that job.
13) How does the Detex V40 compare to a Von Duprin 22 or a Corbin Russwin ED5200?
All three are Grade 1 wide stile rim devices for a 36 inch door. The Von Duprin 22 is non-handed and lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is exit only or accepts trim, also 1-3/4 inch. The V40 is Detex's Value Series, ordered by hand, with alarm and delayed egress options built into the same device rather than added as a separate package, and it is rated to over 1400 pounds of static pull force. None of the three is fire rated.
14) Is the Detex V40 alarmed exit device the same thing as a delayed egress device?
No, and the difference matters on an occupancy where the AHJ is watching. The EA and EB options alarm when the door is used but release immediately, so egress is never delayed. The EE option is true delayed egress, holding the door after the pad is pressed before it releases. If the requirement is only to know the door was opened, order EA or EB. If the requirement is to slow an unauthorized exit, order EE.
15) Will the Detex V40 hold up on a high traffic exterior door that gets abused?
The rail is heavy duty ribbed aluminum extrusion with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces, the device withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force, and the end cap is angled so an impact deflects away from the device rather than into it. That is Grade 1 heavy duty construction for commercial traffic. One caveat for an exterior opening: the V40 is not weatherized, so on a fully exposed door with driving rain a weatherized device is the better call.
16) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Detex V40 rim device?
Only if the frame and door suit it. The V40 is a rim device, latching into a strike on the frame stop and covering a 161 door prep. The Hager 4501 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series is the 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod version; both latch top and bottom through the door rather than into the jamb. On a pair of doors with no mullion, the vertical rod route is what works; on a single door with a strike-ready frame, the rim device is the simpler prep.
17) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 rim device the same thing as a Detex V40?
They are different in the rating that gets specified. The Detex V40 is Grade 1 heavy-duty. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal A9800 at 36 inches carries a Grade 2 rating as well, both listed heavy duty. If the drawing or facility standard calls for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal pair will not satisfy it; if the requirement is only for a heavy duty rim device, they are in play.
18) The V40 is being ordered with the EE delayed egress option - what other electrified exit hardware covers that kind of controlled opening?
The Detex V40 offers EE delayed egress, EA hardwired electric alarm, and EB electric alarm with battery as ordering options, so the alarm and delay live in the device itself. If the control needs to come from elsewhere, the SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick, the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in a classroom function.
19) Which rim exit device gives a crossbar or paddle look instead of the Detex V40 push pad?
The V40 uses a heavy-duty ribbed aluminum rail with an angled end cap. For a crossbar, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, wide stile, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device. For a paddle, the CRL Jackson 1095P is a paddle rim panic exit device, wide stile, exit only. All three are exit only, so an opening that needs outside key or lever access is not served by them the way the V40 is with its 03A night latch pull or 09BN storeroom lever trim.
20) Which alternatives to the Detex V40 also offer hex key dogging?
The V40 can be ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging, and its hex dogging is a 1/8 turn hex key arrangement. Among the alternatives, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging and the 2000R is the 33 inch standard duty version with hex key dogging in a wide stile design. The Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging. Dogging is not permitted on a fire rated opening, which is why the fire rated devices in this class are specified without it.
21) For a facility standardizing on one rim exit device, which comparable to the Detex V40 covers both wide and narrow stile openings?
The Detex V40 is a wide stile device, so a mixed door fleet needs a second line or a universal one. The BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal rim exit device, and the SDC MSB550 and PSB560 bars are listed for narrow or wide stile. Within a single brand, the TownSteel line splits the job: the ED1100 and ED9700 are 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim devices, while the ED3700 and ED8900 are the 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile equivalents, which keeps one manufacturer across a hollow metal and aluminum mix.
22) Does a Sargent 8504 night latch device do the same thing as a Detex V40 with 03A night latch trim?
The function is the same idea but the doors differ. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a night latch function. The Detex V40 reaches night latch through its outside trim selection, with 03A and 03P night latch options plus narrow-width 03AN and 03PN versions, on a wide stile device. So the choice comes down to stile: the Sargent 8504 is narrow stile hardware, while the V40 with night latch trim is the wide stile route to the same outside key-retracts-latch behavior.
23) What is the difference between the Detex V40 and the BEST Precision 2101 for a 36 inch wide stile door?
Both are 36 inch wide stile rim exit devices for hollow metal or aluminum rather than wood. The BEST Precision 2101 Series is from the 2100 Series and is not fire rated. The Detex V40 is Grade 1 heavy-duty, also not fire rated, and is ordered across a set of options the buyer picks at the same time: hex, cylinder, or less dogging, 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum finish, and a hurricane rated or standard build. If the black aluminum finish or the hurricane rated build matters to the job, that is where the two part ways.
24) What finishes does the Detex V40 come in, and will it match the other hardware in my building?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the standard clear anodized aluminum that matches most aluminum storefront and commercial door hardware, so if the other openings in the building are clear anodized, order 628. 711 black is the match for dark bronze or black anodized storefront.
25) Do I need to order a Detex V40 cut to my exact door width?
No. The V40 is field sizeable, so the 36 inch device is trimmed on site to the door rather than ordered to a measured length. That means one part number covers a run of doors that are not all identical, which is useful when standardizing a building where the openings vary slightly.
26) Is there a hurricane rated version of the Detex V40?
Yes. Hurricane rating is a required choice when ordering the V40, Yes or No. Specify Yes if the opening is in a windborne debris zone where the exit hardware has to be part of the rated assembly; otherwise the standard No option applies.
27) Is the Dexter ED1500 extension rod a part that fits the Detex V40?
No. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 exit devices, a vertical rod component. The Detex V40 is a rim device that latches into a frame strike, so it has no rods to extend. Sizing on the V40 is handled by its field-sizeable construction for the 36 inch wide stile application rather than by adding rod length.
