Detex V4009BN HD 628 99 36-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex V40 exit device be used on a pair of doors?
Yes, on both single doors and pairs, but a pair needs a removable mullion. The V40 is a rim device, so the latch throws into a strike on the frame or mullion rather than into the head and threshold. If you cannot use a mullion on the pair, you need a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod with wide stile pushpad.
2) Does the Detex V40 fit an existing 161 door prep?
It does. The V40 covers a 161 door prep, which is the standard cylindrical lock prep on hollow metal doors, so a door already prepped for a cylindrical lockset can take the device without patching. The mounting plate and strike locator that ship with it set the hole and strike positions in place of a paper template, and the rail is field sizeable.
3) Is the Detex V40 fire rated, and do I have to order it that way?
Rating is a choice you make on the order. The V40 is offered as Standard, F (fire rated), H (hurricane), or HF (hurricane and fire rated). A fire rated opening needs the F or HF version, and note that fire rated devices cannot be dogged, so pair that with the Less Dogging option rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
4) What does "lever always active" mean on the Detex V4014BN/14D2W, and can it be locked from outside?
Model V4014BN/14D2W is supplied with passage lever trim, so the outside lever always retracts the latch and the opening is never locked from the pull side. It is not a classroom or nightlatch function. If you need the outside lever locked, this is the wrong trim for the job.
5) Do I need to specify handing on the Detex V40 rim device?
The device itself is non-handed, so the chassis and pushpad work either way. Handing only comes in on the narrow lever trim: if you order the 14BN passage lever narrow trim you must state Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. The 14D2W wide lever trim does not require a handing selection.
6) The Detex V40 will not fit my narrow aluminum stile door. What rim exit device should I use instead?
The Detex V40 Series is built as a wide stile device, so for a narrow aluminum stile door look at narrow stile rim devices instead: the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile device, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device, or the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile device.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Detex V40 if I need a direct equivalent from another brand?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad rim exit device rated Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, which lines up closely with the Detex V40 wide stile Grade 1 rim device. Other Grade 1 wide stile rim options at 36 inches include the Corbin Russwin ED2200-WO36 exit only device, the TownSteel ED1100 heavy duty device, and the BEST Precision 2101. Like the V40, none of these are listed as wood door compatible.
8) I need a fire rated rim exit device. Which options besides the Detex V40 fire rated build are there?
The Detex V40 is offered in F fire rated and HF hurricane and fire rated builds alongside the standard rating. If you are cross-shopping fire rated rim devices, the Marks USA M9900F comes in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only versions, the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim device that is also listed as wood door compatible.
9) Is the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar a substitute for the Detex V40 rim exit device?
No. The Detex V40 is a mechanical rim exit device with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch that does the latching itself. The SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release - both are switch bars that release a separate electric lock rather than devices with their own latch, and both are listed for narrow or wide stile. Use them only where an electromagnetic lock is already the locking means.
10) I need an electrified rim exit device with alarm or delayed egress. How does the Detex V40 compare to other electrified options?
The Detex V40 can be ordered with EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, or EE delayed egress built into the device. Among other electrified rim devices, the SDC S6136 Spectra is 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 is a 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in a classroom function, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motorized electric latch retraction.
11) Will the Detex V40 latch into the strike that is already on my frame?
Only into a rim strike matched to the device. The V40 uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt, and it ships with a strike locator that positions the supplied rim strike correctly. Plan on setting the new strike rather than reusing a cylindrical lock strike or an old surface strike from a different brand.
12) Can I hold the Detex V40 pushbar down during business hours?
Yes, on the dogging versions. Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key to hold the pad depressed and the latch retracted, and cylinder dogging lets you do the same with a key instead of an Allen wrench, which is what most property managers prefer when non-maintenance staff open up. Less Dogging is the option to pick for fire rated openings.
13) Can I get a Detex V40 with a local alarm or delayed egress?
Yes. Electrified options on the V40 are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, and EE delayed egress, or None for a purely mechanical device. EB is the one to look at where you cannot get power to the door, and EE is for controlled-egress openings where local code permits delayed egress.
14) Is the Detex V40 strong enough for a school or a high-abuse exterior door?
It is a BHMA Grade 1 commercial panic and fire exit device rated to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force, with a heavy-duty ribbed aluminum rail and stainless steel latch. That is the top BHMA performance grade and the right specification for school corridors, healthcare, and exterior openings that get pulled on.
15) What is a comparable wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device if the Detex V40 does not suit?
For a wide stile Grade 1 rim device the closest peers are the Von Duprin 22 Series pushpad device (36 inch, non-handed, 1-3/4 inch doors), the Corbin Russwin ED5200, and the TownSteel ED9700. If you specifically need a fire rated wide stile device with request-to-exit and motorized latch retraction, the Sargent 12-8810 covers that. A crossbar look instead of a pushpad is available as the CRL Jackson 1095 Series.
16) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Detex V40 rim exit device?
The Detex V40 is a BHMA Grade 1 device. If the opening does not require Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar and Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar version, both rated Grade 2 heavy duty. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, which matches the V40's hex dogging option.
17) I want a crossbar instead of a push pad. What replaces the Detex V40 for that look?
The Detex V40 is a push-rail device with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion. For a crossbar appearance, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in a wide stile configuration. CRL Jackson also offers the 1095P with a paddle actuator if you want neither a pad nor a bar.
18) Is a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501 an alternative to the Detex V40?
They solve the opening differently. The Detex V40 is a rim device that latches to a surface strike and covers a 161 door prep. The Hager 4501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version - both latch top and bottom through rods concealed in the door, which requires a door prepped for that hardware. Hager's rim counterpart is the 4701 Series 36 inch standard duty device with Grade 1 BHMA certification.
19) The Detex V40 comes with a passage lever trim. What if I need a nightlatch or key-controlled outside function instead?
The Detex V40 is supplied with 14BN passage lever narrow trim or 14D2W passage lever wide trim, where the lever is always active. If you need the outside to be key controlled, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in nightlatch function. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED4200 are Grade 1 devices catalogued as exit only but built to accept trim, so outside function is selected with the trim.
20) I have a 48 inch door leaf. Which rim exit devices besides the Detex V40 cover that width?
The Detex V40 is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch rail lengths. Other 48 inch devices include the Dormakaba 9300 Series wide stile exit only device, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 48 inch crossbar device, the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-4FT Grade 1 rim device, and the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated exit only device. Sargent's 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile devices for a 48 inch minimum door width.
21) Is the Securitron EMB exit bar interchangeable with the Detex V40?
No. The Detex V40 is a mechanical Grade 1 rim panic device with its own Pullman latch bolt and hex or cylinder dogging. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch door thickness, a different category of hardware that depends on its electrified locking function rather than a mechanical rim latch. If you are replacing a mechanical rim panic device, stay with a rim device such as the Von Duprin 22-3FT wide stile pushpad Grade 1 unit.
22) What finishes does the Detex V40 come in for matching other doors in a building?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum, both anodized surfaces over the ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with high impact ABS. 628 is the usual match for clear-anodized aluminum storefront and 711 for dark bronze or black painted entrances.
