Detex V4008D2W-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex V4008D2W rim exit device be installed on a wood door?
No. The V4008D2W is not rated for wood doors, so it belongs on hollow metal or aluminum openings only. If the opening is a wood door, look at a rim device that lists wood door compatibility, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire-rated narrow stile rim device or the Adams Rite 8700 Series non-rated version.
2) What does the Key Locks/Unlocks Lever function on the Detex V40 device actually do?
With this function the outside lever trim is controlled by the key: turn the key to lock the lever, turn it back to unlock it, and the lever stays in that state until you change it. Egress from the inside is always free through the push pad. It suits an entry door that you want unlocked during business hours and locked after, without keying anyone in and out each time. If you only need exit with no outside entry at all, an exit-only device like the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is the simpler buy.
3) Does the Detex V40 rim device fit an existing 161 door prep?
Yes. The V40 rim device covers a 161 door prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep in hollow metal doors. That means a door already prepped for a 161 cutout can take the device without having the old prep patched, and the mounting plate and strike locator handle hole location instead of a paper template.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V4008D2W?
Yes. Because the outside key-controlled lever trim is handed, you order the device either right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Reverse bevel is normal for an out-swinging exit door: stand outside, and if the hinges are on your right it is right hand reverse. Getting this wrong means the lever is upside down on the door.
5) Which strike do I order with the Detex V40, the 99 surface or the 98 semi-mortise?
Both are offered and the choice is about the frame. The 99 surface strike screws to the face of the stop and needs no frame cutting, which is the fast pick on retrofits. The 98 semi-mortise sits into the frame stop for a flatter, less snag-prone look, but the frame has to be prepped for it. The device itself uses a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch bolt, so either strike catches it once it is aligned.
6) Can I hold the Detex V40 exit device pushed in so the door is free swinging during the day?
Only if you order it with dogging. Three choices are offered: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the common mechanical option; cylinder dogging lets you dog with a keyed cylinder instead of a hex wrench. Note that a fire rated device cannot be mechanically dogged, so on a fire opening order the less/no dogging option, and use electric dogging only where the rating permits.
7) Is the Detex V40 available fire rated, and is there a hurricane rated version?
Four rating options are offered on the V40 rim device: non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, and hurricane and fire rated combined. That combined option matters on coastal exterior openings that also sit in a rated wall, where most rim devices force you to pick one or the other.
8) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V4008D2W?
Beyond the plain mechanical device, the V40 can be ordered with delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, or a request-to-exit signal switch. Request-to-exit is what you specify when access control needs to know the bar was pushed; electric dogging lets the bar be released from a panel on a schedule; delayed egress is for retail and healthcare openings where code allows the 15 second hold. All of these are ordered with the device, not added later.
9) Will a rim device like the Detex V40 secure a pair of doors, or do I need vertical rods?
A rim device latches into a strike at the frame stop, so on a pair of doors it needs a removable mullion between the leaves, or the inactive leaf handled separately. If you cannot accept a mullion and want a clear opening, go to a vertical rod device, for example the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod with wide stile push pad or the Hager 4601 narrow stile version, which latch at the head and threshold instead.
10) I need an exit device for a narrow stile aluminum storefront door - is the Detex V4008D2W right?
No. The V4008D2W is built for wide stile applications. For narrow stile openings, the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch rim device is Grade 1 narrow stile for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in 36 inch that accepts trim. Falcon 19-R in 36 inch is another Grade 1 narrow stile rim option, exit only.
11) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Detex V4008D2W from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is the nearest match in kind: a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim exit device in a 36 inch size, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V4008D2W is also Grade 1 wide stile rim hardware, offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, but it is handed (right hand reverse or left hand reverse) and carries a key locks/unlocks lever function rather than exit only. Corbin Russwin ED5200 is another Grade 1 wide stile rim device in 36 inch, listed as exit only and accepts trim.
12) I need a fire rated rim exit device - what are my options besides the Detex V40?
The Detex V4008D2W is offered in fire rated and hurricane and fire rated configurations. Fire rated alternatives include the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device, which is fire rated and wood door compatible, the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch, and the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated rim device. Note the V4008D2W is not wood door compatible.
13) I need delayed egress or a request-to-exit signal - does anything else offer that besides the Detex V40?
The Detex V4008D2W is configurable with delayed egress, electric dogging, a hardwired electric alarm, or a request to exit signal switch. Comparable electrified rim hardware includes the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and MELR, the SDC S6136 Spectra electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function.
14) Are the SDC MSB550 and PSB560 bars substitutes for the Detex V40 rim exit device?
They are a different class of hardware. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both fit narrow or wide stile doors but work by releasing an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latch. The Detex V4008D2W is a mechanical rim exit device with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and a 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike.
15) Is there a non-handed rim exit device I can stock instead of ordering the Detex V40 left and right hand reverse?
The Detex V4008D2W is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you would rather carry one non-handed part across a building, the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim exit device, the BEST 2401 narrow stile device is exit only and non-handed, the CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad device in 36 inch.
16) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Detex V40 rim device?
Only if the opening is prepped for it. The Detex V4008D2W is a rim device that covers a 161 door prep and latches to a 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike on the frame. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 is the Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod version - both latch top and bottom into a door prepared for concealed rods, which is not interchangeable with rim strike prep. A closer rim-for-rim swap is the Hager 4701 36 inch standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification.
17) I need a hurricane rated exit device - can I substitute another brand?
The Detex V4008D2W is the option to specify here, offered in hurricane rated and hurricane and fire rated configurations alongside fire rated and non-rated. Among the comparable Grade 1 wide stile rim devices, the Von Duprin 22-3FT, Corbin Russwin ED5200, TownSteel ED9700, and DORMA 8300 are all listed as non-fire-rated, so none of them answers a hurricane requirement.
18) What door widths does the Detex V4008D2W cover, and can it be cut down?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch, and the rail is field-sizeable, so a 36 inch device can be trimmed to suit a narrower leaf rather than ordering a special length. Pick the 48 inch for wide single leaves and the 36 inch for standard 3-0 openings.
19) Is the Detex V40 rim device Grade 1, and how secure is it against pulling?
Grade 1 BHMA panic and fire exit hardware, and it withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force. The latch is a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type, so it resists being pried or pulled back once the door is closed. That combination is what makes it usable on exterior doors in schools, retail and warehouses rather than interior stairwells only.
20) Can I rekey or change the outside trim on the Detex V40 without taking the device off the door?
Yes. The V40 uses a modular trim system, so outside trims are changed or rekeyed with the device still mounted. Standard and narrow stile pull trims are both available. For a property manager rotating tenants, that means a cylinder swap instead of pulling hardware and re-drilling.
21) How does the Detex V40 compare to a Von Duprin 22 or a Sargent 8800 wide stile rim device?
All three are wide stile rim devices. The Von Duprin 22 is Grade 1, non-rated, 36 inch, non-handed and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 12-8810 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device supplied with RX and motorized latch retraction. The Detex V40 sits in Detex's Value Series and is the one to pick when you want Grade 1 performance plus a choice of non-rated, fire, hurricane or hurricane-and-fire in the same series, with keyed lever trim and a 161 prep cover.
22) I need a lower cost wide stile rim device and Grade 1 is not required. What else is there?
If the opening does not demand Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 (36 inch touch bar) and Cal-Royal 5500 (48 inch push bar) are heavy duty Grade 2 wide rim devices, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging. Stay with the Detex V40 where the spec calls for Grade 1 panic or fire exit hardware, since none of those three carry a fire rating.
23) Is there a simpler exit-only rim device if I do not need the key locks/unlocks lever trim?
Yes. If the opening needs no outside trim, exit only devices cover it: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device in 36 inch, exit only, and the Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch rim panic device, exit only. Marks USA M9900 is offered exit only in 36 inch as well. The Detex V4008D2W instead carries the key locks/unlocks lever function and accepts outside trims that can be changed or rekeyed without removing the device from the door.
24) What is the difference between the Detex V40 and a Grade 2 device like the Cal-Royal 5000?
The Detex V4008D2W is BHMA Grade 1 and rated to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a Grade 2 chassis, heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch Grade 2 push bar rim device. Grade 1 is the higher ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength classification, which is what most commercial code specifications on office, school, and healthcare openings call out.
25) Is the Detex V40 a crossbar device or a touchbar device, and what if I need to match existing crossbar hardware?
The Detex V4008D2W uses a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with high impact ABS surfaces rather than a crossbar. To match existing crossbar hardware, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, and the Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors.
26) What other wide stile rim devices come in a 48 inch size for a wide opening?
The Detex V4008D2W is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch. Other 48 inch wide stile options include the DORMA 9300 Series exit only heavy duty Grade 1 device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 crossbar device, the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch rim device, and the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated device. Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile devices for 48 inch minimum door width.
27) Which other rim exit devices offer hex key dogging like the Detex V40?
The Detex V4008D2W is ordered with hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging, and electric dogging is available as an electrified option. 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. Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging.
28) What finishes does the Detex V4008D2W come in for matching other doors in a building?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Brushed aluminum is the usual match for clear-anodized storefront and most hollow metal frames; 711 black matches dark bronze and black anodized entrances. Standardizing on one across a property keeps replacement parts interchangeable.
29) Where do I get the door prep template and parts list for the Detex V40 before I cut the door?
Detex publishes installation instructions, a Value Series V40 parts list, and a maintenance manual, and all three are available as PDFs alongside the device. Pull the installation sheet first: it confirms hole locations for your chosen strike, and the V40's mounting plate and strike locator system replaces the paper template step entirely.
