Detex V4003PNxNS-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V40xNS, or is it non-handed?
The device rail itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but you still pick a hand on the order because of the trim: Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Exit doors swing out, so RHR and LHR are the only two options that apply.
2) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex V40 narrow stile device, and can I dog it?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered in each length and finish. Dogging is a required selection: Hex Dogging, Cylinder Dogging, or Less/No dogging. On a fire rated opening you order Less/No dogging, since a fire exit device cannot be held in the retracted position.
3) Will the Detex V40xNS latch into my existing rim strike?
The device uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt, so it needs a rim strike set for that throw. It covers a 161 door prep, and Detex includes a patented mounting plate and strike locator that sets the strike position instead of a paper template, so the strike gets located to the device rather than the other way around.
4) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V40 Value Series rim device?
Five choices on the electrified axis: None, Hardwired Electric Alarm, Electric Dogging, Delayed Egress, and Request To Exit signal switch. Electric dogging is how you keep the door push/pull during business hours from an access control schedule; RX gives your panel a signal on each egress; delayed egress is for controlled openings where local code permits it.
5) I have a pair of doors. Can I use the Detex V40xNS on both leaves?
Yes, on a pair with a removable or fixed mullion. A rim device latches into a strike on the mullion, so each leaf gets its own device. Without a mullion you need a different type, either surface or concealed vertical rod devices, which latch at the head and threshold instead.
6) Is a wide stile rim exit device a valid substitute for the Detex V40xNS on a 2 inch stile aluminum door?
No. The V40xNS is built for 2 inch narrow stile single and double doors with mullions, and its extended rail length is engineered to span that stile. Wide stile rim devices such as the Von Duprin 22, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the Dormakaba 8300 Series, the BEST Precision 2101, and the TownSteel ED9700 are all Grade 1 rim devices but are specified as wide stile and are intended for a wider door stile. Mounting a wide stile device on a 2 inch stile will not give you the required mounting surface.
7) The Detex V40xNS is not rated for wood doors. What narrow stile rim device works on a wood door?
The Detex V40xNS is not wood door compatible. For a wood door opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device listed as wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series is the non-fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile equivalent, also wood door compatible. Both use Adams Rite starwheel interlocking.
8) What is a close equivalent to the Detex V40xNS narrow stile rim exit device from another manufacturer?
The Detex V40xNS is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device. Comparable Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, which is rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-R series exit-only narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile devices, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series, which covers a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The V40xNS differs in that it is offered with the key retracts latch pull trim function rather than exit only.
9) I need a fire-rated narrow stile rim device. Which options cover that besides the Detex V40xNS?
The Detex V40xNS is offered in a fire-rated configuration as well as non-rated, in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. Another fire-rated narrow stile rim option is the Adams Rite 3700 Series, which is Grade 1 and also wood door compatible. Fire-rated rim devices without a narrow stile designation include the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire-rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 in 32 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Orca OED85 in 36 inch, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch.
10) Is the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar an alternative to the Detex V40xNS?
They are not interchangeable. The Detex V40xNS is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt that latches into a strike. The SDC PSB560 SureExit in 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology, and the SDC MSB550 in 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release; both are listed for narrow or wide stile and signal a separate locking device rather than carrying their own latch. If you need the door itself latched, the V40xNS is the correct choice.
11) How does the key retracts latch pull trim function work for after-hours access?
Outside, a pull with a cylinder retracts the latch when the key is turned, so authorized staff get in without disturbing the device. Inside, the push rail always releases for free egress. It's the common storefront setup where the door stays locked from outside all day and the key is the only way in.
12) Is the Detex V40xNS strong enough for a high traffic entrance?
It's a Grade 1 commercial device rated to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force, built on a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces. That's the level normally specified for schools, healthcare, and retail entrances.
13) Can I standardize a building on the Detex V40xNS with different trims on different doors?
The rail is modular and accepts a variety of outside trims and functions, so you can run the same device and prep across openings and change only the outside function, key retracts latch pull here, exit only or another trim elsewhere. Same rail, same prep, same spare parts list across the fleet.
14) I only need exit-only panic hardware, not keyed outside access. What should I order instead of the Detex V40xNS?
The Detex V40xNS is configured with key retracts latch pull trim, which provides keyed access from the outside. If no outside trim is needed, exit-only narrow stile rim devices include the BEST 2401 Series, which is non-handed exit only, the Falcon 1590EO for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 1790EO, and the Marks USA M8800 in 36 inch. These omit the outside pull and cylinder entirely.
15) How does the Detex V40xNS compare to the Sargent 8504 for keyed outside access on a narrow door?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices that accept keyed outside entry. The Sargent 8504 is a night latch function device in the 8500 Series narrow design. The Detex V40xNS uses a key retracts latch pull trim, where the key retracts the latch and the pull provides the grip. The V40xNS also offers a fire-rated configuration and factory electrified options including electric dogging, delayed egress, request to exit switch, and a hardwired electric alarm.
16) If the opening calls for a concealed vertical rod instead of a rim device, what replaces the Detex V40xNS?
The Detex V40xNS is a rim exit device, latching to a surface strike. For a concealed vertical rod application on a narrow stile door, the Hager 4601 Series in 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device; the Hager 4501 Series in 36 inch is the wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod version. These require door prep for the concealed rods rather than the 161 prep coverage the V40xNS works with.
17) Can I use a Grade 2 rim exit device instead of the Detex V40xNS?
The Detex V40xNS is a Grade 1 commercial device. Cal-Royal offers heavy duty rim exit devices carrying a Grade 2 rating, including the 5000 in 36 inch with a touch bar and the 5500 in 48 inch with a push bar, neither of which is fire rated. If your specification or facility standard calls for Grade 1 hardware, the V40xNS meets that and the Grade 2 Cal-Royal devices do not.
18) What narrow stile Grade 1 rim device should I look at if I want hex key dogging as standard?
The Detex V40xNS can be ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. If you prefer a device specified with hex-key dogging, the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 in 36 inch is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device supplied with a 7 foot rod. The Design Hardware 1000R in 33 inch is a heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging as well.
19) Do I need paper templates to install the Detex V40 exit device?
No. A patented mounting plate and strike locator system replaces paper templates, and the door prep is minimal since the device covers a 161 prep. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list PDF, plus V40 door prep templates and an installation video if your crew wants to review the sequence first.
20) Does the Detex V40 come in black to match dark anodized storefront?
Two anodized finishes are built: 628 Brushed Aluminum and 711 Black Aluminum. Black is the one to order against dark bronze or black anodized storefront framing, and it's available in both 36 inch and 48 inch, fire rated or non-rated.
