Detex V4003WSxNS-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex V40xNS work on a pair of doors?
Yes, on narrow stile single doors and on double doors with a mullion. As a rim device the latch throws into a strike on the frame or mullion, so a pair without a center mullion needs a vertical rod device instead, not this one.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V4003WSxNS?
The device body itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but handing is a required selection: Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. Exit devices on outswing doors are always reverse bevel, which is why those are the two choices.
3) Will the Detex V40 drop into my existing exit device door prep?
It covers a 161 door prep, so an opening already bored for a standard cylindrical lock prep is handled. Detex also supplies a mounting plate and strike locator system in place of a paper template, which sets the strike location off the device rather than off a measurement.
4) Will the Detex V40 latch reliably on a storefront door that gets pulled on hard?
The rail assembly withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force, and the latch is a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type bolt. Deadlocking means the bolt resists being pushed back once seated, and 3/4 inch of throw is standard for rim strikes on aluminum frames.
5) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V40xNS?
Five configurations: no electrification, hardwired electric alarm, electric dogging, delayed egress, and request to exit (signal) switch. Each is available in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths, in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum. Electric dogging lets an access control schedule hold the latch retracted during business hours; RX gives the panel a signal when the bar is pushed.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device to the Detex V40xNS if I need a different brand on the same aluminum storefront door?
The Detex V40xNS is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device that is not wood door compatible. The closest cross-brand equivalents on those same three points are the TownSteel ED3700, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device in 36 inch, the TownSteel ED8900 narrow stile Grade 1 rim device in 36 inch, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in 36 inch listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are narrow stile rim devices for non-wood doors, so any of them will sit on an aluminum storefront stile.
7) My door has a wide stile - is the Detex V40xNS still the right device?
No. The V40xNS is built for narrow stile doors, with extended length to span stiles on 2 inch narrow stile doors. For a wide stile leaf, wide stile rim devices include the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a Grade 1 non-handed 36 inch pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 Grade 1 36 inch rim device, and the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
8) Can I use an SDC exit bar in place of the Detex V40xNS?
Not as a like-for-like swap. The V40xNS is a Grade 1 mechanical rim exit device with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both suit narrow or wide stile doors but work with a separate locking device rather than latching into a rim strike themselves. Use them only where the opening is secured by a maglock.
9) What fire rated rim exit device alternatives are there to the fire rated Detex V40xNS?
Fire rated rim devices among the comparable brands include the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only builds, the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Of these, only the V40xNS and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch are described as narrow stile, so check your stile width before substituting.
10) What is a good narrow stile rim exit device alternative to the Detex V40xNS?
Comparable narrow stile rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 (Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch door, accepts trim), the Falcon 19-R (Grade 1, exit only, 36 inch), and the TownSteel ED3700 or ED8900 (Grade 1 heavy duty, 36 inch). The difference to weigh: those are non-rated, while the Detex V40xNS is offered in a fire rated version and with factory electrified options including delayed egress.
11) How does the key retracts latch function on the Detex V4003WSxNS work from outside?
Key retracts latch means the outside cylinder trim pulls the latchbolt back so authorized users can enter, while the pushbar always allows free egress. The trim is modular: outside trims can be changed or rekeyed without pulling the device off the door, which matters when a property changes keyways later.
12) Which size Detex V40 do I order, 36 inch or 48 inch?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch, and the rail is field sizeable. Match the device to the door leaf width: the 36 inch covers typical 3 foot leaves and the 48 inch suits wider leaves. Both lengths are available fire rated or non-rated and in either finish.
13) Can the Detex V40 be held unlocked during business hours?
Two ways. Mechanically, 1/8 turn hex key dogging holds the pushbar depressed, and cylinder dogging is available if you want that controlled by a key rather than an allen wrench. Electrically, the electric dogging option lets a timer or access panel retract the latch. Neither dogging method is permitted on a fire rated opening.
14) Is the Adams Rite 8800 a drop-in substitute for the Detex V40xNS?
They overlap but are not interchangeable. Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices for non-wood doors. The difference is the fire rating: the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch is not fire rated, while the V40xNS is offered in both fire rated and non-rated builds. On a labeled opening the 8800 will not substitute; on a non-rated opening it is a reasonable narrow stile alternative, and it is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
15) What is a simpler narrow stile rim device if I do not need key retracts latch trim?
The Detex V40xNS is configured for key retracts latch cylinder trim. If the opening is exit only with no outside trim, the Falcon 19-R Series is a Grade 1 exit only narrow stile rim device in 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 1790EO is a Grade 1 exit only narrow stile rim device at 42 inch, and the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed exit only narrow stile rim device. All three drop the outside cylinder trim from the opening.
16) I need a nightlatch function narrow device rather than key retracts latch - what should I look at?
The Detex V40xNS is built around key retracts latch cylinder trim. If your spec calls specifically for nightlatch, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with a night latch function. Both are narrow-profile Grade 1 rim devices for non-wood doors; the difference is the outside trim function called out on the schedule.
17) The Detex V40xNS comes with hex key dogging - which other narrow stile devices offer dogging the same way?
Hex key dogging is one of the dogging choices on the V40xNS, alongside cylinder dogging and a less dogging build. Comparable devices that call out hex key dogging include the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device and the Design Hardware 1000R at 33 inch, a heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging. Note that hex dogging is generally not used on fire rated openings, so confirm the rating of the leaf first.
18) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Detex V40xNS rim device?
Only if the opening is prepped for it. The V40xNS is a rim device that latches into a surface strike and covers a 161 door prep. The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device and the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad. Concealed vertical rod devices latch top and bottom inside the door, which requires a prepped door and different strike work than a rim installation.
19) What is the difference between the Detex V40xNS and an Adams Rite EX88 interlocking rim device?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices. The Adams Rite EX88 uses an interlocking rim design and is not fire rated, while the V40xNS uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and is offered in fire rated and non-rated builds. The interlocking style engages the strike differently, so the strike prep on the frame is not shared between the two.
20) Is the black finish Detex V40 available with delayed egress?
Yes. 711 black aluminum is offered with delayed egress in both 36 inch and 48 inch lengths, fire rated or non-rated. Brushed aluminum 628 carries the same delayed egress combinations.
21) How durable is the Detex V40 rail for a high traffic entrance?
The rail is a heavy-duty ribbed aluminum extrusion with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces, carrying a Grade 1 commercial rating, and the end cap is angled to deflect cart and door-swing damage away from the device. It sits in Detex's Value Series, so it is the economical end of their line rather than the premium one.
22) If I want a Grade 2 rim exit device instead of the Grade 1 Detex V40xNS, what is available?
The V40xNS is Grade 1. Cal-Royal offers Grade 2 rim devices including the 5000 at 36 inch with a touch bar and the 5500 at 48 inch with a push bar, both heavy duty and not fire rated, and both for non-wood doors. Neither is described as narrow stile, so verify your stile width before ordering against a storefront opening.
