Detex V4014BN-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a wide stile device like the Detex V4014BN fit an aluminum storefront door?
The V4014BN is a wide stile device, so it needs the wider stile face found on hollow metal and wide stile aluminum doors. Typical narrow stile storefront doors don't have the face width for it. For those openings choose a narrow stile rim device, for example the TownSteel ED3700 or the Corbin Russwin ED4200, both narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices.
2) Does the Detex V40 rim device work on a pair of doors?
Yes, it's built for single doors and for double doors used with a mullion. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, so on a pair without a mullion you'd need a different type, such as a vertical rod device (the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod wide stile device is one option ZenSupply carries).
3) What does "Lever Always Active" mean on the Detex V4014BN?
The outside lever trim stays unlocked at all times, so anyone can pull the door open from the outside while the push rail always gives free egress from the inside. It's a passage type function, used where the opening needs to be usable both ways during business hours and does not need to be keyed shut. If you need the outside side locked and keyed, specify a different V40 trim function.
4) Will the Detex V40 latch into my existing rim strike?
The latch is a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type bolt, which is the standard rim exit projection, and it withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull. Strike is a required choice when ordering: 99 surface mount or 98 semi-mortise. If your frame is already prepped for a semi-mortise strike, order the 98; otherwise the 99 surface strike mounts to the frame face.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering a Detex V4014BN?
Four things are required: dogging (hex key, cylinder, or less dogging), strike (99 surface or 98 semi-mortise), and handing (right hand reverse or left hand reverse). Beyond that you pick device size 36 inch or 48 inch, finish 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum, rating (non-rated, fire rated, hurricane rated, or hurricane and fire rated), and any electrified option.
6) Do I need to order a fire rated version for a stairwell or corridor door?
If the opening is a labeled fire door assembly, order the fire rated V40. Fire rated exit devices are supplied without mechanical dogging, so the latch cannot be held retracted. Hurricane rated and hurricane-plus-fire rated versions are also offered for coastal impact openings. For a non-labeled exterior or interior opening the non-rated version with hex or cylinder dogging is the usual choice.
7) Is the Detex V40 handed, and how do I pick right hand reverse or left hand reverse?
The device itself is non-handed and field sizeable, but handing is still a required selection so the trim and latch are set up correctly. Exit doors swing out, so they are always reverse bevel: stand outside the door, if the hinges are on your right it's left hand reverse, hinges on your left it's right hand reverse.
8) The Detex V4014BN will not work on my wood door - what rim exit device will?
The V4014BN is not wood door compatible. Two Adams Rite narrow stile rim devices with starwheel interlocking are listed as wood door compatible: the 3700 Series at 30 inches, which is fire rated, and the non-fire-rated 8700 Series at 30 inches. Both are Grade 1. If the wood door is a fire door assembly, the 3700 is the one carrying the fire rating.
9) What is a comparable Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Detex V4014BN?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a close peer: a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim exit device at 36 inches, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not wood door compatible. The Detex V4014BN is also Grade 1 wide stile rim hardware, offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with a Lever Always Active outside trim function. Other Grade 1 wide stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches and the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches, both heavy duty for hollow metal rather than wood doors.
10) I need a rim exit device for a narrow stile aluminum storefront door - what should I use instead of the Detex V4014BN?
The V4014BN is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile opening calls for a narrow stile device. Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-R at 36 inches exit only, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 at 36 inches, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series at 30 inches, which covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness. If the opening needs a lever on the outside rather than exit only, check the trim function on the narrow stile model you pick.
11) Which exit devices look like a substitute for the Detex V4014BN but will not give me an outside lever?
The V4014BN is a Lever Always Active device, meaning it accepts an outside lever trim that is always operable. Several similar-looking rim devices are cataloged exit only, with no outside trim: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 at 36 inches, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 for 48 inch doors, the Marks USA M9900 at 36 inches, the Imperial USA ED-501 at 36 inches, and the Orca OED55 at 36 inches. The Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow stile device, which is key-retracted rather than a always-active lever. Confirm the trim function, not just the rail, when cross-referencing.
12) I need a fire rated rim exit device - how does the Detex V40 compare with other fire rated options?
The Detex V40 wide stile rim device is offered in Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, Hurricane and Fire Rated, and Non-Rated configurations, so the fire label is selected at order. Fire rated peers include the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F at 36 inches and 48 inches, the Orca OED85 at 36 inches, the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches, the Adams Rite 3700 Series at 30 inches, and the Sargent 12-8810 wide stile device with RX and MELR. Note that fire rated devices cannot be dogged, so the hex or cylinder dogging choice applies to the non-rated build.
13) Is there an equivalent to the electrified Detex V40 for access control on a wide stile door?
The Detex V40 wide stile rim device can be ordered with Delayed Egress, Electric Dogging, Hardwired Electric Alarm, or a Request To Exit signal switch. Comparable electrified rim hardware includes the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function, the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar at 36 inches for narrow or wide stile with electromagnetic lock release, the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors.
14) Should I get hex dogging or cylinder dogging on the Detex V40?
Hex dogging uses a 1/8 turn hex key to hold the latch retracted, which is fine when only maintenance staff handle it. Cylinder dogging replaces the hex socket with a keyed cylinder so dogging is controlled by the building key system, better in schools or public buildings where a loose hex wrench is a problem. Choose less/no dogging on a fire rated opening.
15) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V40 rim exit device?
Five choices: none, electric dogging, request to exit (signal) switch, hardwired electric alarm, and delayed egress. Electric dogging lets an access control schedule free the door instead of someone dogging it by hand; RX signals the access system that egress happened; the hardwired alarm annunciates at the door; delayed egress holds the door for the code permitted delay on secured perimeter openings. Electrified devices need power run to the door, normally through a power transfer.
16) Is the Detex V40 Grade 1, and how does it compare with a Von Duprin 22?
The V40 carries BHMA Grade 1 panic and fire exit hardware certification, in Detex's Value Series line. The Von Duprin 22 Series is also a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are wide stile Grade 1 rim devices; the V40 adds Detex's mounting plate and strike locator installation system and offers hurricane rated versions.
17) Can I standardize on the Detex V40 across a building and still change trim later?
Yes. The V40 is modular and accepts a range of outside trims and functions, and the outside trim can be changed or rekeyed without taking the device off the door. That makes it practical to run one device across a facility and vary the outside function per opening, and to rekey during a key system change without pulling hardware.
18) I need a wide stile rim device with an always active lever but Detex isn't approved on my spec. What else is comparable?
Wide stile Grade 1 rim alternatives ZenSupply carries include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 (accepts trim, 1-3/4 inch door), the Sargent 8800 Series wide stile fire rated device, the Dormakaba 9300 Series (1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors), and the TownSteel ED9700. Note that several wide stile peers such as the Corbin Russwin ED2200 and the Sargent 2828 are exit only, with no outside trim function at all.
19) Is there a lighter-duty or value alternative to the Detex V4014BN for a low-traffic door?
The Detex V4014BN is a Grade 1 Value Series device. If the opening does not need Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 at 36 inches with a touch bar and the Cal-Royal 5500 at 48 inches with a push bar are heavy duty Grade 2 rim devices, both for non-wood doors. The Design Hardware 2000R at 33 inches is a standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Hager 4701 Series at 36 inches is a standard duty rim device with BHMA Grade 1 certification.
20) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - which rim exit devices cover that?
Several peers state a range above 1-3/4 inches: the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, the Adams Rite 8800 Series covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, and the Securitron EMB lists 2-1/4 inches. Many wide stile rim devices, including the Von Duprin 22-3FT, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 and ED5200, and the CRL Jackson 1295, are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors only.
21) I want a crossbar or paddle exit device instead of the Detex V40 push rail - what are the options?
The Detex V40 uses a ribbed aluminum push rail. For a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, wide stile, exit only. For a paddle actuator, the CRL Jackson 1095P is a paddle rim panic exit device, wide stile, exit only. The Sargent 3828 is a standard push bar reversible device for 48 inch doors.
22) Rim exit device or concealed vertical rod - which do I need if the Detex V40 will not suit my opening?
The Detex V40 is rim hardware, latching into a strike on the frame with a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch bolt, ordered with either a 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike. If the opening is a pair without a mullion or the top and bottom latching is required, concealed vertical rod hardware is a different prep: the Hager 4501 Series at 36 inches is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series at 36 inches is the narrow stile equivalent. Vertical rod devices require rod and top latch prep in the door, so they are not a drop-in for a rim strike prep.
23) Which alternatives to the Detex V40 also offer hex key dogging?
The Detex V40 uses 1/8 turn hex key dogging, and can also be ordered with cylinder dogging or less dogging. Peers that state hex key dogging include the Design Hardware 1000R at 33 inches, a heavy duty rim device, the Design Hardware 2000R at 33 inches, a standard duty wide stile rim device, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device.
24) What finishes does the Detex V4014BN come in, and will it match my existing aluminum doors?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the standard clear anodized match for mill finish aluminum storefront; 711 matches dark bronze/black anodized frames. Rail construction is ribbed aluminum extrusion with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces.
25) Do I need a paper template to prep the door for a Detex V40?
No. The V40 ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that replaces paper templates and locates the strike off the device, which cuts layout error on the frame. Detex also publishes door prep templates, installation instructions, a parts list, and a maintenance manual for the Value Series V40 if your installer wants the printed prep.
