Detex V4003AN-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Detex V4003AN on a pair of doors?
Yes, on a pair with a mullion. The V40 is a rim device, so it latches into a strike on the frame or mullion rather than at the head and sill. Detex calls it out for single doors and double doors with mullions. For a pair with no mullion you need a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod wide stile device.
2) What does the Key Retracts Latch Pull Trim function on the Detex V4003AN actually do?
Outside, you get a fixed pull with a cylinder. Turning the key retracts the latch so you can pull the door open; the door stays locked from outside otherwise. Free egress from the inside is always available through the push pad. If you only need exit with no outside entry at all, an exit-only device like the Corbin Russwin ED2200 or Von Duprin 22 covers that.
3) Will the Detex V4003AN latch into my existing strike prep?
It ships with either a 99 surface strike or a 98 semi-mortise strike, so pick the one that matches your frame condition. The latch is a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type in stainless, and the device covers a 161 door prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep most retrofit openings already have.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V4003AN?
Yes. Even though the latch bolt itself is non-handed, the pull trim version is ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Stand outside the opening: if the door is hinged on your right and swings toward you, it is right hand reverse.
5) Can I get the Detex V40 with electric dogging, delayed egress, or a request-to-exit switch?
Yes. The V40 can be ordered with delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, a request to exit signal switch, or with no electrical option at all. Delayed egress and electric dogging both need power run to the door, so plan a transfer hinge or power transfer into the opening.
6) My storefront door has a narrow stile. Can I use the Detex V4003AN?
No. The V40 is a wide stile device and needs the rail width that a wide stile door gives you. For an aluminum narrow stile storefront leaf, look at a narrow stile rim device such as the Adams Rite 8800 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED4200.
7) Can I put the Detex V4003AN on a wood door, and if not what will work?
The Detex V4003AN is not rated for wood door use. For a wood door, the Adams Rite narrow stile rim devices are the ones listed as wood door compatible: the 8700 Series 30 inch Grade 1 non-fire-rated device and the 3700 Series 30 inch Grade 1 fire rated device, both with starwheel interlocking.
8) I need a fire rated rim exit device - what are the alternatives to the Detex V4003AN?
The Detex V4003AN can be configured fire rated as one of its rating options, alongside non-rated, hurricane rated, and hurricane and fire rated builds. If you want a fire rated rim device from another maker, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device is Grade 1, the Marks USA M9900F is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only versions with a panic protector end cap, the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated exit only rim device, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim device is Grade 1 and wood door compatible.
9) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex V4003AN?
The Detex V4003AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device in the V40 Value Series with key retracts latch pull trim, offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. The closest wide stile Grade 1 rim peers are the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors listed as exit only or accepting trim, and the TownSteel ED9700, a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device. The V4003AN differs in that it ships configured with pull trim and a key retracts latch function, while those three are ordered exit only or with trim added separately.
10) The opening has a narrow aluminum stile - what rim device should I use instead of the Detex V4003AN?
The Detex V4003AN is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront calls for a narrow stile rim device. Options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, rated Grade 1 for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device, and the TownSteel ED3700, a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device.
11) What are the electrified alternatives to the Detex V4003AN rim device?
The Detex V4003AN can be built with delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, or a request to exit signal switch. Other electrified rim options include the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick, the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device with RX and motor electric latch retraction, and the Dormakaba E2103 electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors.
12) What door widths does the Detex V40 exit device cover?
Two rail lengths, 36 inch and 48 inch, and the rail is field sizeable so it can be trimmed to fit the door rather than forcing you to an exact match. The 36 inch covers typical 3 foot leaves; the 48 inch is for wider openings.
13) What dogging options come on the Detex V4003AN and which should I pick?
Three choices: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key to hold the latch retracted during business hours. Cylinder dogging locks that function to a key so only authorized staff can dog it, which is what most schools and property managers want. Less dogging is the choice for fire rated openings.
14) Is the Detex V4003AN tough enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, high impact ABS, anodized surfaces, and a stainless latch, and Detex rates it to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force. The angled end cap deflects impact away from the device, which matters on carts and dollies in school and warehouse corridors.
15) Can I change the outside trim or rekey it later without pulling 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. That is useful for a property manager rekeying a building or moving an opening from pull trim to a different function later.
16) Is there a lower cost alternative to the Detex V4003AN if I do not need Grade 1?
The Detex V4003AN is a Grade 1 device in Detex's Value Series. If the opening does not require Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim 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. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, which matches the hex dogging option the V4003AN offers.
17) I only need exit only, no outside trim - what should I order instead of the Detex V4003AN?
The Detex V4003AN is configured with key retracts latch pull trim, meaning it comes with outside trim. For a pure exit only push bar, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only rim device, the Imperial USA ED-501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim panic exit only device, the Sargent 2828 is a Grade 1 reversible wide stile exit only device for 48 inch minimum door width, and the Orca OED55 is a 36 inch exit only rim device.
18) Which of these rim exit device options are not actually substitutes for the Detex V4003AN?
A few look adjacent but solve a different problem. The Hager 4501 and 4601 are concealed vertical rod devices, not rim devices, so they need a door prepped for rods rather than the 161 prep the V4003AN covers. The SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar and the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar are switch and release bars used with electromagnetic locks rather than latching panic hardware. And the Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 devices, a part rather than a complete device.
19) I need a 48 inch rim exit device for a wide leaf - what matches the Detex V4003AN 48 inch?
The Detex V4003AN is available in a 48 inch size as well as 36 inch. Comparable 48 inch rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile heavy duty Grade 1 exit only device for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar wide stile exit only panic device, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated exit only device, and the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch heavy duty exit only device.
20) If I am standardizing a facility on one rim device, how does the Detex V4003AN compare to other non-handed options?
The Detex V4003AN uses a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt with non-handed operation and is field sizeable, though the outside trim is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Other non-handed or reversible choices for a standardization program include the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device, the BEST Precision 5101 with a non-handed universal design, the BEST 2401 narrow stile exit only non-handed device, and the Sargent 3828, a Grade 1 reversible wide stile push bar device for 48 inch doors.
21) What is a comparable wide stile rim device if I want a different brand but the same Grade 1 wide stile push pad format as the Detex V4003AN?
The Detex V4003AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with a heavy duty ribbed aluminum rail extrusion. Same-format Grade 1 wide stile rim alternatives include the DORMA 8300 Series wide stile panic rim device, the TownSteel ED1100, a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, the BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device, and the Arrow 3880 Series 30 inch Grade 1 wide stile pushpad exit bar for 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) I need a night latch function instead of key retracts latch - what rim device does that?
The Detex V4003AN is supplied with key retracts latch pull trim. If you specifically need night latch trim, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in night latch function. Note that it is a narrow stile device, so it suits an aluminum storefront stile rather than the wide stile doors the V4003AN is designed for.
23) What finishes does the Detex V40 exit device come in?
Two anodized aluminum finishes, 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. If you are standardizing a building, 628 is the usual match for existing aluminum storefront hardware.
