Detex V40 HD 628 99 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Detex V40 rim exit device have to be handed when I order it?
Yes, handing is a required selection on the V40. You pick either right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings that apply to an outswinging exit door. Stand outside the opening: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, it's right hand reverse. Order the wrong one and the pushbar and latch won't line up with the strike.
2) Will the Detex V40 latch into the strike I already have on a 48 inch door?
The V40 uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt, which is the standard rim strike engagement, but Detex supplies its own strike and a patented mounting plate with a strike locator that sets the position for you instead of a paper template. Plan on mounting the Detex strike rather than reusing an existing one, since the locator is what guarantees the 3/4 inch bolt seats and deadlocks properly.
3) What dogging options does the Detex V40 come with, and can I hold the door unlocked during business hours?
Three choices: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key to hold the pushbar depressed so the door is push-pull all day, and it's the common pick for retail and office hours. Cylinder dogging swaps that for a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog it, which is what most schools and healthcare facilities want. Less dogging means no dogging at all, and the device latches every time.
4) What outside trim can I get with the Detex V40, and can I use it on a classroom door?
Trim choices run: 01P blank plate and 01PN narrow blank plate, 03A and 03AN night latch pull trim, 03P and 03PN night latch trim, 08BN classroom lever trim, 09BN storeroom lever trim, or exit only with no outside trim. For a classroom, the 08BN classroom lever is the one, and for a door that should always require a key from outside, take 09BN storeroom. Trim is changeable or rekeyable without pulling the device off the door.
5) I need a fire rated exit device for a 48-inch door - can I use the Detex V40?
No. The Detex V40 is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a fire door assembly. For a 48-inch fire rated opening, the Marks USA M9900F 48-inch rim panic device is fire rated and exit only. Other fire rated rim options are the Adams Rite 3700 Series narrow stile device at 30 inches, the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches, the Orca OED85 at 36 inches, and the Sargent 12-8810 wide stile device, though those are shorter rails. Confirm the required device length against your door width before ordering.
6) I need an exit device with a built-in alarm or delayed egress - do other brands offer that or only Detex?
The Detex V40 is built with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, and EE delayed egress on the device itself. Among other rim options, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36-inch electrified architectural rim exit device for 4 inch wide stile with a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36-inch electrified rim device with 4908A classroom trim, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch door thickness. Those are electrified access control devices rather than alarm or delayed egress bars, so if the opening needs self-contained delayed egress the V40 EE configuration is the one to specify.
7) My door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile - what should I order instead of the Detex V40?
The V40 is a wide stile device and needs the stile width to suit. For narrow stile aluminum storefront, look at the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device, which lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Adams Rite 8700 Series with starwheel interlocking, or the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO are narrow stile Grade 1 exit only devices at 42 inches for wider storefront leaves. All are rim devices like the V40, so the strike prep on the frame is comparable.
8) What is a direct alternative to the Detex V40 48-inch wide stile rim exit device from another manufacturer?
The closest wide stile rim devices sized for 48-inch openings are the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48-inch wide stile panic rim device, which is Grade 1 and lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim device for 48-inch minimum door width. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is also a Grade 1 48-inch wide stile rim device, but it uses a crossbar rather than a push rail. All three are exit only as listed, while the Detex V40 is offered with outside trim options including 03P night latch trim, 08BN classroom lever trim and 09BN storeroom lever trim, so if the opening needs keyed outside access the trim has to be specified separately on the alternates.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Detex V40 but is not actually a panic exit device?
A few bars in the same shape are not latching exit devices. The SDC MSB550 Series 36-inch unit is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36-inch unit is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both signal a separate locking device rather than retracting their own latch. The Sargent 12-8810 wide stile device is cataloged with a dummy function. The Detex V40 is a Grade 1 rim exit device with its own stainless 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch bolt, so it latches into a rim strike on the frame without any additional electric lock.
10) I need a non-handed rim exit device so I only stock one part - does the Detex V40 do that?
The Detex V40 is ordered by handing, either right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you want a single non-handed part on the shelf, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal rim exit device, the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile rim device exit only, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36-inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile rim device. Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible Grade 1 wide stile devices for 48-inch doors.
11) Should I use a rim exit device like the Detex V40 or a vertical rod device on my door?
A rim device like the V40 latches into a strike on the frame at the lock stile, so it suits a single door in a frame, or one leaf of a pair with a mullion. It's the simplest to install and maintain because there's nothing running to the head or the floor. If you have a pair of doors with no mullion, a rim device won't secure them, and you want a vertical rod device such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod wide stile device instead.
12) How does the Detex V40 compare to other Grade 1 wide stile rim exit devices?
The V40 is Detex's Value Series, Grade 1 and heavy duty, with a 1400 pound plus static pull rating and factory-integrated alarm and delayed egress options built into the same rail. Straight wide stile Grade 1 alternatives include the Von Duprin 22 series, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the Dormakaba 9300 and the TownSteel ED9700. For a crossbar look rather than a pushpad, the Corbin Russwin ED3000 is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device, and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar wide stile panic device.
13) Is the Detex V40 tough enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
It's built for it. Grade 1, heavy duty, with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, high impact ABS on the pushpad, anodized surfaces, and stainless steel internals that take over 1400 pounds of static pull. The angled end cap is there to shove cart and gurney impacts away from the device rather than into it, which is the part that usually fails first on a busy corridor door.
14) Is there a lower cost alternative to the Detex V40 for a 48-inch door, and what am I giving up?
The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48-inch rim exit device with a push bar carrying a Grade 2 rating and heavy duty designation, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is another 48-inch heavy duty rim exit device rated Grade 2, exit only. Both step down from the Grade 1 rating the Detex V40 carries, and both are cataloged exit only, where the V40 accepts outside trim from a blank plate through night latch and lever trims. For an institution standardizing on Grade 1 panic hardware, the Cal-Royal units will not meet that spec.
15) I have a pair of doors and need top and bottom latching instead of a rim strike - what replaces the Detex V40?
The V40 is a rim device that latches into a strike on the frame head. If the opening requires vertical rod latching, the Hager 4501 Series 36-inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device uses a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36-inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device is the narrow stile version. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device listed with a 36-inch device and 7 foot rod. Vertical rod devices require door prep at the top and bottom rails that a rim device does not.
16) How does the Detex V40 compare to a Von Duprin 22 for a wide stile commercial opening?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim exit device at 36 inches, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not wood door compatible. The Detex V40 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty wide stile rim device built for 48-inch openings and is ordered by handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse. The V40 also offers a dogging choice of cylinder dogging, hex dogging or less dogging and finishes in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum. For a 36-inch leaf the Von Duprin rail is the correct length; for a 48-inch leaf the V40 is sized to it.
17) We standardize on one exit device across a campus - which Grade 1 wide stile rim devices could cover both 36-inch and 48-inch doors?
For a mixed door-width facility, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36-inch wide stile rim device exit only and the ED3200 is the Grade 1 48-inch crossbar version of the same family, while the ED5200 is a Grade 1 36-inch wide stile rim device that accepts trim. TownSteel offers the ED1100 and ED9700, both Grade 1 heavy duty 36-inch wide stile rim devices. The Detex V40 covers the 48-inch wide stile side as a Grade 1 heavy-duty device and is field-sizeable, with trims ranging from a blank plate to storeroom and classroom lever trim so keying can be kept consistent across the openings.
18) Is a crossbar exit device interchangeable with the Detex V40 push rail?
They mount differently and are not a drop-in swap. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48-inch crossbar rim panic device is a wide stile exit only device, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48-inch wide stile crossbar rim device. A crossbar spans the door on end brackets, while the Detex V40 is a push rail with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system and an angled end cap. Retrofitting from one style to the other generally means new door prep, so match the existing prep or plan to fill and re-drill.
19) What finishes does the Detex V40 exit device come in, and will it match my other doors?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the clear anodized aluminum that matches most storefront and aluminum frame openings, and 711 is the dark bronze/black anodized look. If you're standardizing a building, pick whichever matches the frames rather than the pulls.
20) What paperwork do I get for installing the Detex V40, and do I need a template?
No paper template needed. The V40 uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator that sets the hole and strike positions directly, which is faster and more repeatable than taping a template to the door. Detex publishes full installation instructions, a parts list for the Value Series V40, and a maintenance manual, all available as PDFs, plus door prep templates if your shop prefers them.
