Detex V4003PN-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can one Detex V4003PN secure a pair of doors, or do I need a mullion?
It is a rim device, so it latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion. Detex lists the V40 for single doors and for double doors with a mullion. On a pair with no center mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into, so you would need a removable mullion or switch to a vertical rod device such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod exit device.
2) Does the Detex V40 exit device fit an existing 161 door prep?
Yes. The V40 rim device covers a 161 prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep in hollow metal doors, so replacing a knob or lever set with this panic device usually needs no patching of the existing hole. Detex also supplies a mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template to set the hole locations.
3) What does the "Key Retracts Latch" pull trim function actually do on the V4003PN?
Outside, a key in the pull trim retracts the latch so someone can pull the door open; it does not leave the door unlocked. Push the bar from inside and you always get free egress. That is the usual choice for a service or back entry where authorized staff need key-only access. The V40 is modular, so trims and functions can be changed in the field without pulling the device off the door.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering a Detex V4003PN?
Four things are required: dogging type (hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging), strike style (99 surface or 98 semi-mortise), handing (right hand reverse or left hand reverse), and device length (36 inch or 48 inch). You also pick a finish, 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum, a rating option (non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated), and any electrified option.
5) Is the Detex V40 a handed device?
Yes, handing has to be called out. The V4003PN with key retracts latch pull trim is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you would rather not track handing across a building, a non-handed wide stile rim device like the Von Duprin 22 Series or the BEST Precision 5101 Series universal design avoids the issue.
6) Can I use the Detex V4003PN on a fire rated door?
Yes, if you order the fire rated option. The V40 is available non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated. One caution: fire doors cannot be held unlatched, so pair a fire rated device with less/no dogging rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
7) Will the Detex V40 latch reliably into my existing rim strike?
The V40 uses a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type stainless latch bolt, and Detex includes a strike locator to set the strike position exactly. Two strike styles are offered, 99 surface mount and 98 semi-mortise. If the frame already has a semi-mortise cutout, order the 98; on a plain frame face, the 99 surface strike is the simpler install.
8) What is the difference between a wide stile device like the V40 and a narrow stile rim device?
The V40 is a wide stile device, built for the broad stiles of hollow metal doors. Aluminum storefront doors with narrow stiles do not have the face width for it, and you would move to a narrow stile rim device such as the Adams Rite 8800 Series (listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors) or the TownSteel ED3700. Confirm your stile width before you commit either way.
9) I need a rim exit device for a wood door - can I use the Detex V4003PN?
No. The Detex V4003PN is not rated for wood doors. For a wood door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire-rated narrow stile rim device and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch non-fire-rated narrow stile device are both listed as wood door compatible, and both are Grade 1. Note that those are narrow stile devices with Starwheel interlocking, so the door stile and prep differ from a wide stile pushpad rail.
10) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex V4003PN?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is the nearest straight equivalent: a 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim exit device rated Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not rated for wood doors. The Detex V4003PN is also a Grade 1 wide stile rim device, built for metal doors rather than wood, and carries the Key Retracts Latch pull trim function with the pushpad rail offered in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. The practical difference is trim: the 22-3FT is catalogued as a pushpad device, while the V4003PN is sold with the key retracts latch pull trim already paired to it. Other close wide stile Grade 1 options are the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches and the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches, both exit-only rather than trimmed.
11) The door has a narrow stile - what rim exit device should I use instead of the Detex V4003PN?
The V4003PN is a wide stile device and needs the stile width to match. For narrow stile aluminum and glass doors, Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 at 36 inches, the Falcon 19-R at 36 inches exit only, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 at 36 inches, and the Sargent 8504 in night latch function if you want key access from outside. The Sargent 8504 is the closest in intent to the V4003PN's key retracts latch pull trim, since both give an outside key-operated pull rather than exit only.
12) Which rim exit devices are fire rated like the Detex V4003PN fire rated option?
The Detex V4003PN is offered in Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, and Hurricane and Fire Rated configurations. Fire-rated peers include the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device (Grade 1), the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only, the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches, the Orca OED85 at 36 inches, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and MELR. Of those, the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is the only one listed with a wide stile and Grade 1 together, and the Detex is the one that also offers a hurricane rated build.
13) Is the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar a substitute for the Detex V4003PN?
No, they solve different problems. The SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar with Tri-Failsafe technology and the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release are switch bars that release a separate electromagnetic lock; they fit narrow or wide stile doors but do not carry the latch themselves. The Detex V4003PN is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device with a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and its own strike, and it can be ordered with electrified options including request to exit signal switch, electric dogging, hardwired electric alarm, or delayed egress if you need the signal or the mag-lock tie-in on one device.
14) I need key access from the outside - which rim exit devices offer that besides the Detex V4003PN?
The Detex V4003PN is supplied in the Key Retracts Latch pull trim function, so a key at the outside trim pulls the latch back and the door can be pulled open. Among peers, the Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow stile rim device, which is the equivalent key-and-pull arrangement on a narrow stile door, and the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36 inch electrified rim device in 08 classroom function. Most of the other comparable rim devices - the Corbin Russwin ED2200, Marks USA M9900, Orca OED55, Sargent 2828 and 3828 - are exit only, with no outside operation at all.
15) Is the Detex V40 heavy duty enough for a school or high traffic retail exit?
It is a Grade 1 commercial panic and fire exit device that withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force, built on a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces. Detex positions the V40 as its Value Series, so it is Grade 1 performance at a lower entry point than architectural lines.
16) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V40 rim device?
Five configurations: none, electric dogging, delayed egress, hardwired electric alarm, and request to exit signal switch. Electric dogging lets you release the latch from an access control panel during business hours; request to exit gives the panel a signal when someone pushes the bar; delayed egress is for controlled perimeter doors where local code permits it.
17) Which dogging option should I pick on the Detex V40?
Hex dogging is the common choice on non-rated doors: a hex key holds the pushpad depressed so the door pushes open freely during business hours. Cylinder dogging does the same but with a keyed cylinder, which is what you want when maintenance staff should not carry the hex key. Order less/no dogging on any fire rated opening.
18) What is a lower-cost alternative to the Detex V4003PN rim exit device?
If the opening does not require Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim device with a push bar, also Grade 2 - both heavy duty and for metal doors. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Detex V4003PN differs in that it is BHMA Grade 1 panic and fire exit hardware and comes with the key retracts latch pull trim, so check what grade the specification on the drawing calls for before substituting down.
19) What should I use instead of the Detex V4003PN if the opening needs concealed vertical rods?
The V4003PN is a rim device that latches into a surface or semi-mortise strike on the frame or mullion, so it will not work where the specification calls for top and bottom latching through concealed rods. For that, the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device has a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device is the narrow stile version. Both are listed as non-fire-rated.
20) How does the Detex V4003PN compare to a crossbar rim exit device?
The Detex V4003PN uses a pushpad rail with a heavy-duty ribbed aluminum extrusion and covers a 161 door prep. Crossbar devices work differently across the door face: the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, wide stile and exit only. Choose by what the architect drew and by whether you want the flat touch rail or the projecting bar in the traffic path; the V4003PN also accepts a variety of outside trims with field-changeable functions.
21) Which 48 inch wide stile rim exit devices can I standardize on alongside the Detex V4003PN?
The Detex V4003PN is offered in a 48 inch rail as well as 36 inch, in 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Comparable 48 inch wide stile devices include the Dormakaba 9300 Series exit only, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 crossbar, the CRL Jackson 1095 crossbar, and the Marks USA M9900F fire rated exit only. The Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile devices specified for a 48 inch minimum door width.
22) Does the Detex V4003PN need to be ordered handed, and which comparable devices are non-handed?
The Detex V4003PN is ordered by hand, as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, along with the dogging type and strike. If you would rather stock one part number for both hands, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad Grade 1 device, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal rim device, the BEST 2401 is non-handed narrow stile exit only, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible.
23) Can I standardize on one finish across a building with the Detex V40?
Two finishes are offered on the V40, 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum, both anodized. 628 matches most clear anodized aluminum frames and 711 matches dark bronze or black storefront. Both finishes run across the device lengths and function options, so a facility can hold one finish standard for every V40 opening.
