Detex V4003ANxNS-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V40xNS rim exit device fit a 2 inch narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the V40xNS is built for. The rail is extended in length so it spans 2 inch narrow stile single doors and pairs with a mullion, and the device is non-handed and field sizeable. It is not approved for wood doors, so on a wood opening you need a different device.
2) What does the Key Retracts Latch Pull trim function on the V4003ANxNS actually do?
Outside, a key in the trim cylinder retracts the Pullman latch so someone can pull the door open; the pull trim itself has no free handle operation. Inside, the pushpad always gives free egress. It is the classic storefront nightlatch arrangement for a door that stays locked from outside and is opened by key.
3) Will the Detex V40 narrow stile device latch into my existing storefront strike?
It uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt, which is the standard throw for narrow stile rim hardware, so it engages a normal surface rim strike. Detex includes a mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, so the strike gets set to the device rather than the other way round. The device also covers a 161 door prep, which is the common cylindrical prep already in many doors.
4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the V4003ANxNS?
The device body is non-handed, but the order still requires a handing selection, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, since those are the two hands an outswinging exit door takes. Pick the hand that matches the door in the opening.
5) Which dogging option should I choose on a Detex V40 exit device, and can I dog it on a fire door?
Three choices: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is the economical shop standard; cylinder dogging lets facility staff hold the pad down with a keyed cylinder instead of an Allen wrench. If you are ordering the fire rated version, specify less/no dogging, because mechanical dogging is not permitted on a fire rated opening.
6) Is the Detex V40xNS available fire rated, or only as a panic device?
Both. Fire rated and non-rated builds are offered in each size and finish. A fire rated exit device is required on a labeled opening in a stair or corridor; a non-rated panic device is fine on an exterior storefront egress door with no label.
7) What electrified options can I order on the Detex V4003ANxNS?
Five choices on the device: none, hardwired electric alarm, electric dogging, delayed egress, or request-to-exit signal switch. Electric dogging lets access control release the pad on a schedule. A request-to-exit switch sends a signal to the panel so an alarmed door shunts on legitimate egress. Delayed egress is the 15 second hold used in retail loss prevention and memory care, and it is only legal where the building code and fire authority allow it.
8) How do I secure a pair of doors with the Detex V40 rim device?
Being a rim device, it latches into a strike at the edge of the opening, so a pair of doors needs a removable mullion with the V40 mounted on each leaf striking the mullion. If you cannot live with a mullion in the clear opening, you need a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4601 Series narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
9) What is the closest Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device to the Detex V4003ANxNS if I need a fire rated unit?
For a fire rated narrow stile rim device, the Adams Rite 3700 Series in 30 inch is Grade 1, narrow stile, fire rated, and is also listed as wood door compatible. The Detex V4003ANxNS is Grade 1 narrow stile and can be ordered fire rated in 36 inch or 48 inch, but it is not wood door compatible, so on a wood door the Adams Rite 3700 is the one that fits the substrate.
10) I need a narrow stile rim device that accepts outside key trim - what are the alternatives to the Detex V4003ANxNS?
The Detex V4003ANxNS is a narrow stile rim device with key retracts latch pull trim. Two narrow stile peers also work with outside trim: the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device listed as exit only, accepts trim, and the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim device supplied in night latch function, where the key retracts the latch from outside. The Detex is field sizeable and non-handed; the ED4200 and 8504 are catalogued at fixed configurations.
11) What should I use instead of the Detex V4003ANxNS on a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door?
The Detex V4003ANxNS is built with extended length rail to span 2 inch narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile leaf a wide stile device suits the pushpad geometry better. Grade 1 wide stile rim options include the Von Duprin 22-3FT at 36 inch non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inch, and the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inch heavy duty.
12) Are the SDC MSB550 and PSB560 bars substitutes for the Detex V40xNS narrow stile exit device?
They are not mechanical latching exit devices. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are listed for narrow or wide stile. The Detex V4003ANxNS latches the door itself with a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch bolt and a rim strike, so it secures the opening without a separate maglock.
13) Which fire rated rim exit devices can replace the Detex V4003ANxNS on a 36 inch or 48 inch rated metal door?
Fire rated rim peers at those widths include the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch, both exit only with a panic protector end cap, the Orca Hardware OED85 at 36 inch fire rated exit only, and the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim device. All are listed as not wood door compatible, like the Detex, but they are exit only, while the Detex V4003ANxNS carries key retracts latch pull trim for outside access.
14) What finishes does the Detex V40 exit device come in, and will it match my storefront?
628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum, both anodized. 628 matches clear anodized aluminum storefront, 711 matches dark bronze and black anodized frames. Both finishes are available in 36 inch and 48 inch, rated or non-rated.
15) Is the Detex V40xNS strong enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is BHMA Grade 1, the top commercial rating, and the assembly withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force. The rail is heavy duty ribbed aluminum extrusion with high impact ABS. For school, hospital, retail and multi-tenant entries under constant use that is the grade you want to standardize on.
16) Can I rekey or change the outside trim on the Detex V40 without taking the device off the door?
Yes. The V40 is modular, so trim changes and rekeying are done without removing the device from the door, and it accepts a range of outside trims and functions. For a property manager running keys across a building that means a lock change at the entry without pulling hardware.
17) Which narrow stile rim exit devices are direct exit-only substitutes if I do not need outside key trim on the Detex V40xNS?
If the opening needs egress only with no outside key function, the Falcon 1590EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in 42 inch exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-R is Grade 1 narrow stile exit only at 36 inch, and the BEST 2401 is a non-handed narrow stile rim device in exit only. The Detex V4003ANxNS is configured with key retracts latch pull trim, so it carries outside hardware those three do not.
18) What are the narrow stile Grade 1 alternatives to the Detex V4003ANxNS on a non-rated opening?
On a non-rated narrow stile opening the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 heavy duty 36 inch narrow stile rim devices, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch, Grade 1 narrow stile with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, all cover the same application. The Detex V4003ANxNS is also offered in a non-rated configuration in 36 inch and 48 inch.
19) If I need a narrow stile device with hex key dogging rather than the Detex V40xNS options, what else is available?
The Detex V4003ANxNS is ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging, and electric dogging is available as an electrified option. If you want a factory hex-key dogging narrow stile device from another brand, the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is the Grade 1 heavy duty narrow equivalent at 36 inch.
20) Is a crossbar panic device like the CRL Jackson 1095 an alternative to the Detex V4003ANxNS?
Only if the opening suits a crossbar and needs no outside key function. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim panic device listed as exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V4003ANxNS is a touchpad-style narrow stile rail for 2 inch stiles with key retracts latch pull trim, so the crossbar units change both the door type and the outside function.
21) What is the difference between the Detex V40xNS and a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4601?
The Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile concealed vertical rod device, which latches into the head and sill through rods hidden in the door. The Detex V4003ANxNS is a rim device that latches to a surface strike on the frame stop and covers a 161 door prep, so it does not require the door to be prepped for concealed rods.
22) The Detex V40xNS is called a Value Series device - how does it compare with Grade 2 rim devices like the Cal-Royal 5000?
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. The Detex V4003ANxNS is a Value Series device that still carries a Grade 1 rating and is built for 2 inch narrow stile doors, which the Cal-Royal wide devices are not.
