Detex V4008BN-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex V40 rim exit device be used on a wood door?
No. The V40 Series is not rated for wood door applications, so it should be used on hollow metal or aluminum openings. If you need a rim device for a wood door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series (fire-rated, narrow stile) and the Adams Rite 8700 Series are both listed as wood door compatible.
2) Will a Detex V40 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V40 is a wide stile device and needs the stile width a wide stile pushpad requires. For narrow stile aluminum doors, look at the Adams Rite 8800 Series (1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness) or the Corbin Russwin ED4200, both narrow stile rim devices.
3) Does the V4008BN key function lock and unlock the outside lever?
That's exactly what the 08 function does. A key in the outside trim locks or unlocks the lever, so once unlocked the lever retracts the latch and stays that way until you key it again. Free egress from the inside pushpad is unaffected either way, which is what makes it workable on a classroom or office corridor door.
4) Will a Detex V40 latch into my existing rim strike?
The V40 uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt, and it ships with the strike you specify: 99 surface strike or 98 semi-mortise strike. If the existing frame already has a semi-mortise pocket, order the 98; on a flat frame face or an applied stop, the 99 surface strike is the one. The device also covers a 161 door prep.
5) Can a rim exit device like the V40 be used on a pair of doors?
Yes, on single doors and on pairs that have a removable or fixed mullion. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, so without a mullion a pair has nothing to latch into. If you cannot use a mullion on the pair, you need a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod wide stile unit.
6) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V40?
The device rail itself is non-handed and field-sizeable, but the order does require a handing selection: right hand reverse or left hand reverse. That is because the outside key-locks-lever trim is handed. Stand outside the door, note which side the hinges are on, and pick accordingly.
7) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex V40 rim device?
Yes. Rating is an order choice: non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated. Pick fire rated for a labeled opening. One thing to remember on any fire rated exit device, mechanical dogging is not permitted, so the fire rated build should be ordered less dogging or with cylinder dogging handled per the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Can I get the Detex V40 with delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch?
Yes. The electrified options are delayed egress, electric dogging, hardwired electric alarm, and request to exit (signal) switch, plus a plain non-electrified build. Delayed egress and the RX switch are the two integrators usually spec for access control tie-in; electric dogging lets the device be dogged and undogged on a schedule from the panel.
9) I have a hurricane rated opening. Is there a rim exit device that meets that?
The Detex V40 can be ordered hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated together, which is the combination coastal code officials usually want on a labeled exterior egress door. None of the comparable rim devices we hold carry a hurricane rating in their specs, so the V40 is the one to look at for that application.
10) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex V4008BN if I need a different brand on the same opening?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is the nearest match: a 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim exit device, non-handed, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not wood door compatible. The Detex V4008BN is also a Grade 1 wide stile rim device, and it is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. Where they part company is function: the V4008BN carries a key locks/unlocks lever function with outside trim, while the 22-3FT is a pushpad device on its own. If the opening needs keyed outside control, the Von Duprin has to be ordered with matching trim separately.
11) I need a keyed-lever rim exit device on a wood door - can I use the Detex V4008BN?
No. The Detex V4008BN is not wood door compatible. For a wood door, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim exit device is wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch version is wood door compatible and fire rated. Both are narrow stile with starwheel interlocking, so they suit an aluminum or narrow style rather than a wide stile pushpad opening, and outside keyed trim is ordered separately.
12) My door has a narrow stile - what should I order instead of the Detex V4008BN?
The V4008BN is a wide stile device and covers a 161 door prep, so a narrow stile aluminum door is the wrong application. Narrow stile Grade 1 rim alternatives include the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 19-R 36 inch exit only. If you need keyed outside lever control, the ED4200 is listed as accepting trim.
13) I need a fire rated rim exit device - what are my options besides the Detex V40?
The Detex V4008BN is offered in fire rated and hurricane-and-fire-rated builds. Other fire rated rim devices include the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only, the Orca OED85 36 inch exit only, and the Arrow FS1250 32 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that the Marks and Orca units are exit only, so they do not give you the keyed outside lever the V4008BN function provides.
14) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the Detex V4008BN?
No. The SDC PSB560 36 inch pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar release an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing their own latch, and both are catalogued for narrow or wide stile doors. The Detex V4008BN is a mechanical rim exit device with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch bolt and a key locks/unlocks lever function, and it can be ordered with request-to-exit switch, electric dogging, delayed egress, or hardwired alarm if you need a signal or electrified control on the same device.
15) What dogging options does the Detex V40 come with?
Three choices: hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is the common pick for a retail or school door you want to push-pull freely during business hours. Cylinder dogging uses a mortise cylinder so only keyholders can dog the bar, which is what most property managers want when tenants share the opening. Choose less dogging for fire rated openings.
16) What door widths does the Detex V40 rim device cover?
Two rail sizes, 36 inch and 48 inch, and the rail is field-sizeable so it can be cut down to suit the actual door width rather than ordering an exact match.
17) Is the Detex V40 strong enough for a high abuse exterior door?
It is BHMA Grade 1 panic and fire exit hardware and withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force, with a heavy-duty ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, high impact ABS and a stainless steel latch. That puts it in the same grade class as the Von Duprin 22 Series and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 wide stile rim devices, at Detex's Value Series level.
18) I need an exit device with outside lever trim, not exit only. Which rim devices offer that?
The Detex V4008BN is built with the key locks/unlocks lever function, so the outside trim is part of the device rather than something you add later. Most of the comparable rim devices are exit only, including the Von Duprin 22-3FT, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 and the Marks USA M9900. If you want another trim-accepting option, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED4200 are listed as exit only, accepts trim.
19) If I only need push-to-exit with no outside key function, is there a simpler rim device than the Detex V4008BN?
Yes. The V4008BN is built around a key locks/unlocks lever function with outside trim. If the opening is egress only, exit-only wide stile rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch Grade 1, the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch Grade 1. All three are wide stile and none is wood door compatible, matching the V4008BN in door type.
20) How does the Detex V4008BN compare with the Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 rim devices?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar and the 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim device with a push bar; both are listed Grade 2 heavy duty and neither is wood door compatible. The Detex V4008BN is Grade 1 and also comes in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. If a specification calls for BHMA Grade 1 panic hardware, the Detex meets it and the Cal-Royal pair is a different grade tier.
21) What crossbar rim devices can I use if the building standard is a crossbar rather than a pushpad like the Detex V40?
The Detex V4008BN is a pushpad style wide stile rim device on a ribbed aluminum rail. For a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar wide stile rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device is wide stile exit only. The CRL unit is exit only, so keyed outside lever control is not part of it.
22) For a 2-1/4 inch thick door, is the Detex V40 the right rim device or should I look at something else?
Among comparable rim devices, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 device is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile device is listed for the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. The SDC S6136 Spectra wide stile electrified rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Verify the door thickness against the Detex V40 installation instructions before ordering, since the V40 is an aluminum-door device and is not wood door compatible.
23) If I need a nightlatch function instead of key locks/unlocks lever, what rim device should I order?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with a night latch function, where the key retracts the latch for momentary entry only. The Detex V4008BN instead uses a key locks/unlocks lever function, so the key changes the state of the outside lever and leaves it unlocked until keyed again. Choose by whether the opening needs momentary key entry or a lever that stays unlocked during business hours.
24) Is a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501 an alternative to the Detex V40 rim device?
They solve different openings. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the 4601 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod version; both latch top and bottom into the frame and floor and require a door prepped for concealed rods. The Detex V4008BN is a rim device that latches into a surface 99 or semi-mortise 98 strike on the frame, so it installs on a standard 161 prepped door without vertical rod routing.
25) What finishes is the Detex V40 available in?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Brushed aluminum is the one that matches most existing aluminum storefront and hollow metal openings; black aluminum is the choice on dark bronze or black painted frames.
26) Does the Detex V40 come with templates for the door prep?
Instead of paper templates, the V40 uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that positions the device and strike off the hardware itself. Detex also publishes door prep templates, installation instructions, a parts list and a maintenance manual for the Value Series V40, all linked from the product resources.
27) Which wide stile Grade 1 rim devices are non-handed like the Detex V40?
The Detex V4008BN is a non-handed, field-sizeable device, though keyed builds are ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Comparable non-handed wide stile Grade 1 units include the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch pushpad device and the Sargent 2828 reversible rim device for 48 inch minimum door width; the BEST Precision 5101 is also a non-handed universal rim device. Non-handed chassis matter most when you are stocking one part number for a mixed fleet of openings.
