Detex V4003A-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I put the Detex V4003A rim exit device on a wood door?
No. The V40 Series V4003A is not rated for wood doors, so it belongs on hollow metal or aluminum openings. If your opening is wood, look at a device that carries wood door approval, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series narrow stile rim device (fire rated) or the non-rated Adams Rite 8700 Series, both of which are listed as wood door compatible.
2) Will the Detex V4003A work on my existing 161 door prep?
Yes. The V4003A covers a 161 door prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep on hollow metal doors, so a door that previously carried a cylindrical lockset can take this device without patching. The rail is field sizeable, and Detex includes a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template to set the strike position.
3) What does the "Key Retracts Latch" pull trim function actually do on the Detex V4003A?
Outside, you get a pull with a cylinder. Turning the key retracts the Pullman latch so authorized staff can pull the door open from outside; the pushpad always releases from inside. The 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless Pullman latchbolt handles the latching. Outside trims on the V40 are changeable or rekeyable without pulling the device off the door, which matters if you rekey buildings on a cycle.
4) Can the Detex V40 rim device be used on a pair of doors?
Yes, on single doors and on pairs that have a mullion. Because it is a rim device, the latch throws into a strike on the frame or mullion, so a pair without a mullion will not work with two rim devices. For a mullion-free pair you need vertical rod devices, for example the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod wide stile device.
5) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V4003A?
Yes. The V4003A is ordered as either right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Stand outside the opening: exit devices are on doors that swing out, so a door hinged on your right as you face it from outside is right hand reverse. Getting this wrong on a keyed pull trim device means the trim and latch will not orient correctly, and it is not something you flip in the field.
6) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex V40 rim exit device?
Yes. The V40 can be ordered non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated. Fire rated openings will not accept mechanical dogging, so on a fire door order it less dogging rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
7) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront. Is the Detex V4003A the right device, or should I use something else?
The Detex V4003A is a wide stile device and needs the stile width to suit a wide stile pushpad. For narrow stile aluminum storefront, look at the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device, listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile device, or the Falcon 19-R 36 inch narrow stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device that accepts trim if you still need outside key access.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Detex V4003A from another manufacturer?
The Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is also a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device in a 36 inch size, listed non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors, while the Detex V4003A is ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Corbin Russwin ED5200 is another Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inches that accepts trim, and TownSteel ED9700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device at 36 inches.
9) I need a rim exit device with outside key access, not exit only. Which options actually do that?
The Detex V4003A is built with a Key Retracts Latch pull trim function, so the key on the outside trim retracts the latch. Many rim devices are exit only with no outside operation: Corbin Russwin ED2200, Sargent 2828 and 3828, Marks USA M9900, and the CRL Jackson 1095 and 1295 are all listed as exit only. Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED4200 are exit only but accept trim, and the Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow stile rim device, which also gives key access from outside.
10) I need a fire rated rim exit device. Which choices carry a fire rating besides the Detex V4003A?
The Detex V4003A can be ordered Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated. Among comparable devices with a fire rating, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F comes in 36 inch and 48 inch fire rated exit only versions, the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 is a 32 inch fire rated rim device, and the Sargent 12-8810 is a fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motor latch retraction. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is fire rated in narrow stile.
11) What is the difference between the Detex V4003A and a pressure sense bar or switch bar like the SDC PSB560?
The Detex V4003A is a mechanical rim exit device with a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt that latches into a 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike. The SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release; both fit narrow or wide stile and signal a separate locking device rather than carrying their own latch. If the door must latch mechanically, the switch bars are not a substitute.
12) Which electrified rim exit devices compare with the Detex V4003A electrified options?
The Detex V4003A can be specified with Delayed Egress, Electric Dogging, Hardwired Electric Alarm, or a Request To Exit signal switch. Comparable electrified rim devices include the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Dormakaba E2103 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function, the Sargent 12-8810 fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motor latch retraction, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors.
13) Which strike do I order with the Detex V4003A, the 99 surface or the 98 semi-mortise?
Strike is a required choice. The 99 surface strike mounts on the face of the frame stop and is the simpler retrofit when you do not want to cut the frame. The 98 semi-mortise strike sets into the frame for a flatter, less exposed look. Both work with the 3/4 inch Pullman latch; pick based on whether you can prep the frame.
14) I want the door to stay push-pull during business hours. What dogging option should I pick on the Detex V40?
Order hex dogging if you want maintenance staff to hold the pad down with an Allen key, or cylinder dogging if you want that controlled by a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog the device. Dogging is a required selection, and the third choice is less/no dogging, which is what a fire rated opening requires.
15) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V40 Series?
Five choices: none, electric dogging, request to exit signal switch, hardwired electric alarm, or delayed egress. Electric dogging lets access control release the pad on a schedule, an RX switch reports the pad being pushed back to the panel, the local alarm sounds at the door, and delayed egress holds the door for the code-permitted delay on a controlled exit. Delayed egress and alarm versions are what integrators use on stockroom and perimeter doors.
16) What sizes and finishes does the Detex V4003A come in, and which size fits a 36 inch door?
Two device lengths, 36 inch and 48 inch, in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum. The 36 inch device suits doors up to about 36 inches wide and the 48 inch covers wider leaves; the rail is field sizeable, so it can be cut down to the actual door width during install.
17) Is the Detex V40 strong enough for a high traffic school or apartment entry?
It is a Grade 1 commercial panic and fire exit hardware device rated to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force, built on a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with high impact ABS, anodized surfaces, and a stainless latch. That combination is aimed at high traffic and pull-attack exposure on school, retail, healthcare, and multi-tenant residential exits.
18) How does the Detex V40 compare to a Von Duprin 22 or a Cal-Royal 5000 for a standard commercial exit?
All three are wide stile rim devices, but they sit differently. The Detex V40 is Grade 1 and is its value line, with a keyed pull trim function and hurricane rated options available. The Von Duprin 22 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, non-handed and non-rated. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a Grade 2 heavy duty touch bar device, so it is a lower certification tier than either. If you need Grade 1 with a fire rated option and an outside key pull, the V40 covers it in one order.
19) I need a wide stile rim device with outside key access. What are my alternatives to the Detex V4003A?
The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device listed as exit only and accepts trim, so trim is specified separately. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with RX and motorized electric latch retraction for access control work. Many wide stile peers, including the BEST Precision 2101, Corbin Russwin ED2200, and TownSteel ED9700, are exit only and give you no outside key function at all. The Detex V4003A ships as the keyed pull trim configuration.
20) Can I change the outside trim later without taking the Detex V40 off the door?
Yes. The V40 is modular and accepts a variety of outside trims and functions, and the outside trim can be changed or rekeyed without removing the device from the door. For a property manager rekeying a building or switching a door from key-retracts-latch to another function, that keeps the device and the door prep in place.
21) Is a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501 an alternative to the Detex V4003A?
No. The Detex V4003A is a rim device that latches into a surface or semi-mortise strike on the frame or a mullion and covers a 161 door prep. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 is the Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod version; those latch top and bottom and require a door prepared for concealed rods. Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device supplied with a 7 ft rod, also not a rim application.
22) I need a 48 inch wide stile rim device. Which ones come that long besides the Detex V4003A?
The Detex V4003A comes in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. Other 48 inch options include the Dormakaba 9300 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, exit only; the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device; the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch rim device, exit only; the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated exit only device; and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-4FT Grade 1 rim device.
23) I do not want to deal with handing. Which rim exit devices are non-handed compared with the Detex V4003A?
The Detex V4003A is ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. If you would rather stock one non-handed device, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device listed non-handed, the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim device, the BEST 2401 is a non-handed narrow stile exit only device, and the CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible Grade 1 rim devices for 48 inch minimum door width.
24) Do I need special templates to install the Detex V4003A, and where are the instructions?
No paper templates needed. Detex supplies a patented mounting plate and strike locator that sets the hole and strike positions for you, which is the main reason installers pick the V40 for volume work. ZenSupply hosts the Detex installation instructions, the V40 Value Series parts list, and the maintenance manual as downloadable PDFs on the product record.
