Detex V4003WS-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a rim exit device like the Detex V4003WS work on a pair of doors?
On a pair, yes, but only with a mullion. A rim device latches into a strike at the jamb, so the V40 is built for single doors and for double doors fitted with a removable or fixed mullion. If you cannot use a mullion on that pair, you need a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod with a wide stile pushpad.
2) What does the key retracts latch function on the Detex V40 actually do?
The V4003WS uses cylinder trim where turning the key pulls the latch back so someone can get in from the outside. The pushpad always gives free egress from the inside. Outside trim can be swapped or rekeyed without pulling the device off the door, which saves a service call when a tenant changes.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V4003WS?
Yes. It is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, so stand outside the opening and note which side the hinges are on before you order. You also pick dogging (hex, cylinder, or none), strike type (99 surface or 98 semi-mortise), device length (36 or 48 inch), and finish.
4) Will the Detex V40 cover the existing 161 prep from the old lock on my door?
Yes. The V40 covers a 161 door prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep, so it works as a replacement on a door that previously had a knob or lever lockset without patching the face. It also ships with a mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, which keeps the strike aligned to the new latch.
5) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V4003WS?
Four, beyond the plain mechanical version: delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, and a request to exit signal switch. Electric dogging lets access control unlock the pad on a schedule; RX gives your panel a signal when someone pushes the bar; delayed egress is the 15 second hold on a door you want alarmed and controlled. Confirm your local code allows delayed egress in that occupancy before specifying it.
6) Can I put the Detex V4003WS on a wood door, and what rim device should I use if I can't?
The Detex V4003WS is not wood door compatible. For a wood leaf, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim exit device is listed as wood door compatible in Grade 1 non-fire-rated, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is the fire-rated Grade 1 counterpart, also wood door compatible. Both are narrow stile with starwheel interlocking, so confirm your stile width before ordering against a wide stile prep.
7) For a fire rated opening, what are the alternatives to a fire rated Detex V4003WS?
The Detex V4003WS can be ordered fire rated. Comparable fire rated rim devices include the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO, a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device; the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch, fire rated exit only with a panic protector end cap; the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only; and the Arrow FS1250, a 32 inch fire rated rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the Marks, Orca and Arrow units are exit only, so they do not give you the keyed outside trim function the V4003WS carries.
8) I need a rim exit device for a narrow stile aluminum storefront door - the Detex V4003WS is wide stile, so what do I use instead?
The V4003WS is a wide stile device and will not suit a narrow stile storefront leaf. Narrow stile alternatives in Grade 1 include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the Falcon 19-R-EO, a 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 rim device in exit only. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are also 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices in heavy duty. Of these, the ED4200 is the one listed as accepting outside trim, which matters if you need keyed outside access like the V4003WS provides.
9) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex V4003WS?
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 wood door compatible. The Detex V4003WS is also a Grade 1 wide stile rim device, and it comes in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with the key retracts latch cylinder trim function built into the model. If the opening needs the outside key-retracts-latch trim as part of the device order, the V4003WS carries that function; the 22-3FT is specified as a pushpad device on its own.
10) Which exit devices look like substitutes for the Detex V4003WS but won't give me keyed entry from the outside?
Several wide stile rim devices in the same size class are specified exit only, meaning egress only with no outside key function: the Corbin Russwin ED2200-WO36 at 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 Grade 1 reversible wide stile devices for 48 inch doors, the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile, and the CRL Jackson 1295 non-handed push pad wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V4003WS is ordered with key retracts latch cylinder trim, which is the outside keyed function. If the opening needs keyed re-entry, the exit only units above would require separate trim that is not part of those items.
11) I need request to exit signaling and electric dogging on a rim device - how does the Detex V4003WS compare to electrified alternatives?
The Detex V4003WS can be ordered with delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, or a request to exit signal switch, on a Grade 1 wide stile chassis. Electrified comparables 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 classroom trim; and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar and MSB550 mechanical switch bar are switch bars for narrow or wide stile doors rather than latching rim devices, so they suit openings held by a maglock instead of a Pullman latch.
12) For a pair of doors where I can't use a mullion, what should I use instead of the Detex V4003WS rim device?
The V4003WS is a rim device intended for single doors and for pairs with a mullion. Where a mullion is not acceptable, a concealed vertical rod device latches top and bottom instead: the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod version. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device supplied with a 7 foot rod.
13) Is there a hurricane rated alternative to the Detex V4003WS among other brands?
The Detex V4003WS can be ordered hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated together, alongside the fire rated and non-rated options. If hurricane rating is a requirement on your opening, the V4003WS is the device in this group specified with that rating; the other rim devices are differentiated by fire rating, grade, stile and function rather than hurricane rating, so verify the label requirement before substituting a Grade 1 peer such as the Dexter ED1000 or TownSteel ED9700.
14) Should I choose hex dogging or cylinder dogging on the Detex V40?
Hex dogging holds the pushpad down with an allen wrench, which is fine for a back-of-house door where only staff have the key. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder, which is what most schools and offices want so the door can be held in a push-pull state during business hours without a loose wrench floating around. On a fire rated leaf, order less/no dogging.
15) What is the difference between the 99 surface strike and the 98 semi-mortise strike on the Detex V40?
The 99 surface strike screws onto the face of the frame, which is the quicker retrofit when the existing jamb has no prep. The 98 semi-mortise strike sets into the frame for a flusher look and less projection into the opening, but it needs the jamb cut. Pick based on what the existing frame already has.
16) Will the Detex V40 latch into my existing rim strike?
The device uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type latchbolt and ships with its own 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike. Plan on installing the supplied strike rather than reusing the old one, since the strike locator sets its position off the device.
17) Is the Detex V40 strong enough for a high traffic entrance that gets abused?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device. The rail is ribbed aluminum extrusion with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces and holds up past 1400 pounds of static pull force, and the end cap is angled so a hit deflects off the device instead of tearing it loose. That combination is aimed at doors that take pry attempts and cart traffic.
18) How does the Detex V40 compare to a Von Duprin 22 or a Corbin Russwin ED5200?
All three are wide stile rim devices. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile device listed exit only or accepting trim, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V40 differs in that it is handed at order time and is offered with key retracts latch cylinder trim, dogging choices, and factory electrified and hurricane rated options in one part number.
19) I only need free egress, no key entry. Is the Detex V4003WS the right model?
Not necessarily. The V4003WS is the cylinder trim version where a key retracts the latch, so you are paying for outside trim you would not use. For a pure exit only door, an exit only rim device such as the Corbin Russwin ED2200, the TownSteel ED1100, or the Marks USA M9900 is the simpler order.
20) Is there a lower-grade wide rim exit device if Grade 1 isn't required by the spec?
Yes. 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 wide rim version with a push bar, also Grade 2 heavy duty. Neither is fire rated and neither is wood door compatible. The Detex V4003WS is Grade 1 and offers both 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, so if your drawing calls out ANSI Grade 1 the Cal-Royal pair will not satisfy it.
21) We standardize on hex key dogging across the building - which rim devices besides the Detex V4003WS offer it?
The Detex V4003WS can be ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Among comparables, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging and the 2000R is the 33 inch standard duty wide stile version with hex key dogging. The Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging. Note that dogging is not permitted on fire rated openings, so specify accordingly on labeled doors.
22) What is the difference between the Detex V4003WS and a non-handed rim device like the BEST 5101 or 2401?
The Detex V4003WS is ordered by handing, as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. The BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design rim exit device and the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile rim device in exit only; the Von Duprin 22-3FT is likewise non-handed. A non-handed device can be stocked as one part number for either swing, whereas the V4003WS must be specified per opening. The V4003WS is wide stile and Grade 1 with a keyed outside trim function, which the exit only 2401 does not carry.
23) I need a night latch function rim device - is the Detex V4003WS the same thing?
They are close but not identical in scope. The Detex V4003WS is supplied with key retracts latch cylinder trim on a Grade 1 wide stile rim device. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device specified with a night latch function. Both give keyed outside retraction of the latch; the deciding factors are stile width and the trim style you want, since the V4003WS is wide stile and the 8504 is narrow design.
24) What finishes does the Detex V40 exit device come in?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Brushed aluminum matches most storefront and hollow metal hardware already in service; 711 black is the one to pick if the building's other doors are dark anodized.
