Detex V4002BN-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the dummy lever function on the Detex V4002BN actually do on the outside of the door?
The V4002BN is set up with a dummy lever trim, so the outside lever is fixed. It gives you something to pull on, but it will not retract the latch. Anyone coming in from outside needs the door unlocked another way, or the device dogged down. If you need the outside lever to actually operate the latch, you want a keyed or classroom-function trim instead of the dummy. The V40 trim mounts so it can be changed or rekeyed later without pulling the device off the door.
2) Can I put the Detex V40 rim exit device on a wood door?
No. The V40 Series is not rated for wood doors, so on a wood opening you need a different device. It's built for wide stile hollow metal and aluminum doors. Among wide stile rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 Series are listed as wood door compatible, though both are narrow stile designs.
3) Is the Detex V40 available fire rated, and can I get it hurricane rated too?
Yes on both. The V40 is offered Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated. Note the rule that comes with fire rated exit hardware: a fire door device cannot have mechanical dogging, so specify the less/no dogging option on a fire rated opening. Hex or cylinder dogging belongs on non-rated doors where you want the latch held retracted during business hours.
4) Which strike do I pick for the Detex V40, 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise?
Two strikes are offered. The 99 surface strike screws to the face of the frame stop and is the usual pick on a retrofit or where you do not want to cut the frame. The 98 semi-mortise sets into the frame for a flatter, cleaner look and less projection into the opening. The device uses a stainless 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch, so whichever strike you choose has to be located for that 3/4 inch throw. Detex ships a patented strike locator with the device instead of a paper template, which is what keeps the strike aligned to the latch on the first try.
5) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V40 exit device?
The device chassis itself is non-handed, but the order still calls for Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse because the lever trim and strike are handed. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings away from you, that's right hand reverse. Get it backwards and the lever points the wrong way.
6) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V40 for access control?
Four electric options beyond a plain mechanical device: Delayed Egress, Electric Dogging, a hardwired Electric Alarm, and a Request To Exit signal switch. Electric dogging lets you unlatch and relatch the door on a schedule from the panel. RX gives your access control system a dry signal when the pushpad is used, so a valid exit does not read as a forced door. Delayed egress is the one to use on a controlled perimeter door where you need the 15 second hold before release.
7) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - what rim device should I use instead of the Detex V40?
The Detex V4002BN is built for wide stile doors, so for a narrow stile aluminum storefront choose a device designed for that stile. Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 at 36 inches, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 at 36 inches, and the Falcon 19-R exit only at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile device is Grade 1 and covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex V4002BN?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is the nearest straight equivalent: a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device carrying a Grade 1 rating, fitted to 1-3/4 inch doors and not rated for wood doors. The Detex V4002BN is also Grade 1 wide stile and not wood door compatible, and it is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths with a dummy lever trim function. Other Grade 1 wide stile pushpad options are the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches and the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches.
9) I need a fire-rated wide stile rim device with lever trim - what compares to the Detex V4002BN?
The Detex V4002BN is offered in fire rated and hurricane and fire rated configurations with a dummy lever function. The closest cross-brand match is the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM, a fire rated wide stile rim exit device in the 8800 Series with a dummy trim function and RX and MELR options, rated Grade 1 and not for wood doors. Fire rated exit-only alternatives without lever trim include the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch and the Orca OED85 at 36 inches.
10) What are the alternatives to the Detex V40 electrified options such as electric dogging or request to exit?
The Detex V4002BN can be configured with delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, or a request to exit signal switch. Cross-brand electrified rim devices include the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified wide stile rim device with a 4 inch stile fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the Dormakaba E2103 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A classroom trim, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM which is supplied with RX and MELR. For access control release rather than a latching device, SDC also offers the MSB550 mechanical switch bar and the PSB560 pressure sense bar, both 36 inch and suited to narrow or wide stile.
11) What should I use if the opening calls for a vertical rod device rather than a rim device?
The Detex V4002BN is a rim device that latches to a strike on the frame, so it does not suit pairs needing top and bottom latching. For concealed vertical rod applications, 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.
12) Is the Detex V40 tough enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
It's BHMA Grade 1, which is the top commercial durability tier for panic hardware, and Detex rates the device to hold over 1400 pounds of static pull force. Construction is a heavy duty ribbed aluminum rail with high impact ABS and a stainless steel latch. It's the Value Series, so it's Detex's economical Grade 1 line rather than their premium one, but the grade and pull resistance are what matter on a high traffic opening.
13) How does the Detex V40 compare to a Von Duprin 22 or a Sargent 8800 wide stile rim device?
All three are wide stile rim devices. The Von Duprin 22 Series is a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad device listed at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device with dummy trim plus RX and motorized latch retraction built in, so it is the closer match if you need those electrics factory-installed. The Detex V40 is the economical Grade 1 option and takes its electrics as ordered options, with hurricane rating available, which neither of those two lists.
14) Can the Detex V40 secure a pair of doors with no mullion?
No. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair you either add a removable mullion between the leaves or go to a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill. For a pair without a mullion, look at a concealed vertical rod device such as the Hager 4501 Series wide stile CVR.
15) What's the difference between hex dogging and cylinder dogging on the Detex V40?
Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key to hold the pushpad down and the latch retracted, so the door pushes open freely during business hours. Cylinder dogging does the same job but with a keyed cylinder, so only someone with the key can dog or undog the door. Pick cylinder dogging where tenants or staff should not be able to prop the opening with a common allen wrench. If the door is fire rated, order less/no dogging.
16) Is there a lower-grade alternative if I do not need a Grade 1 exit device?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 heavy duty chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is the 48 inch push bar version, also Grade 2 heavy duty. Both are steel-door devices and are not wood door compatible. The Detex V4002BN by contrast is rated Grade 1 and comes in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths.
17) Which rim devices are exit-only and therefore not substitutes for the Detex V4002BN with dummy lever?
The Detex V4002BN is supplied with a dummy lever on the outside. Devices catalogued as exit only have no outside trim and will not give you an outside pull: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch wide stile, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 reversible wide stile devices for 48 inch doors, the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch wide stile, the Marks USA M9900 36 inch, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad device. If you need outside access hardware, those require trim to be addressed separately.
18) I want a crossbar look instead of the Detex V40 pushpad - what are my options?
The Detex V4002BN uses a ribbed aluminum rail pushpad. For a crossbar or push bar appearance on a wide stile door, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, exit only. CRL Jackson also offers the 1095P with a paddle instead of a crossbar.
19) Are there other wide stile rim devices with hex key dogging like the Detex V40?
The Detex V4002BN offers hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Design Hardware's 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the 1000R is the 33 inch heavy duty version with hex key dogging. The Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging if the opening is narrow stile.
20) Is a Dexter ED1000 a reasonable swap for the Detex V40 on a 48 inch opening?
Both cover 48 inch openings at Grade 1. The Dexter ED1000 Series is offered as a 4FT Grade 1 rim exit device, exit only, and in a 3FT version, neither wood door compatible; a fire rated ED1000 is also made. The Detex V4002BN is a Grade 1 wide stile device in 36 inch and 48 inch, non-wood, and carries a dummy lever for outside trim where the ED1000 exit-only versions have none.
21) What finishes does the Detex V40 come in for matching the rest of my doors?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Both are anodized over the ribbed aluminum rail extrusion. 628 is the standard clear anodized look that matches most aluminum storefront and hollow metal openings; 711 is the dark bronze/black anodized match. If your building is already standardized on one, order all openings the same way since only these two are offered in the V40.
