Detex V4009BNxNS-628-36-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex V40 latch into the strike that's already on my frame?
The V40xNS uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt with its own surface strike, and it covers a 161 door prep. Detex includes a mounting plate and strike locator system in place of a paper template, so the strike is set to the device rather than the device being fitted to an old strike. Plan on using the supplied strike.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V40xNS?
Yes, handing is a required selection. The device is ordered either Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, the two handings that apply to outswinging exit doors. Get it wrong and the lever trim and latch will not work on your opening.
3) What does Lever Always Active mean on this Detex V4014BN exit device?
On the V4014BN, the outside lever is always unlocked and retracts the latch, so anyone can pull the door open from the outside at any time while the push rail still gives free egress from inside. It is a passage-type function, not a keyed nightlatch. If you need the outside trim locked and keyed, choose a different V40 function.
4) Which dogging option should I pick for a Detex V40 exit device?
Three choices, and it is a required selection: hex key dogging (1/8 turn, the standard mechanical option), cylinder dogging if you want the push rail held down with a key instead of an allen wrench, or less/no dogging. Note that dogging is only allowed on non-rated openings, so if you order the fire rated version, specify less/no dogging. Electric dogging is also available as an electrified option.
5) Can I get a Detex narrow stile exit device with an alarm or a request to exit signal?
Yes. Beyond the plain mechanical version, the V40xNS is offered with a hardwired electric alarm, electric dogging, delayed egress, or a request to exit signal switch. RX is the one to pick when an access control panel needs to see the push rail operate and shunt an alarm; delayed egress is for perimeter doors where code allows a timed hold before release.
6) Will the Detex V40xNS work on a pair of doors?
It works on single doors and on pairs used with a mullion. As a rim device the latch throws into a strike on the frame or removable mullion, so a pair without a mullion needs a vertical rod device instead, like the Hager 4601 narrow stile concealed vertical rod unit.
7) What other Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices can replace a Detex V40xNS on an aluminum storefront door?
Close alternatives on narrow stile aluminum doors include the TownSteel ED3700, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit device in a 36 inch size, the TownSteel ED8900 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. Like the Detex V40xNS, which is Grade 1 and narrow stile and not wood door compatible, all three are listed as not wood door compatible.
8) Which fire rated rim exit devices compare to the fire rated Detex V40xNS?
The Detex V40xNS is offered in both fire rated and non-rated builds at 36 and 48 inch lengths. Other fire rated rim devices include the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only versions with a panic protector end cap, the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile device. Of that group the Adams Rite 3700 is the one specified as narrow stile.
9) Can I use an exit only rim device in place of the Detex V40xNS with lever always active?
No. The Detex V40xNS is configured with a lever always active outside trim function, so outside entry is by the lever. Exit only devices have no outside trim function and cover egress alone - examples include the Falcon 19-R Series Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile exit only device, the Falcon 1590EO 42 inch narrow stile exit only device, the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile exit only non-handed device, and the Marks USA M8800 36 inch narrow stile exit only device. If outside access is needed, choose a device that accepts trim, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile Grade 1 device.
10) My door has a wide stile - is the Detex V40xNS still the right device?
The Detex V40xNS is built with extended length rails to span 2 inch narrow stiles. For a wide stile door, wide stile rim devices include the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 Grade 1 36 inch wide stile device that accepts trim, the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device, and the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
11) Is an SDC exit bar a substitute for the Detex V40xNS rim exit device?
Not directly. The Detex V40xNS is a mechanical rim exit device with a Pullman-type deadlocking latch bolt that latches into a rim strike. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both are listed for narrow or wide stile and depend on a separate locking device. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch door thickness. For a latching rim device on a narrow stile door, an SDC bar is a different approach to the opening.
12) I need a non-handed rim exit device - does the Detex V40xNS qualify?
The Detex V40xNS is ordered by handing, with right hand reverse and left hand reverse choices. If a non-handed or reversible device suits the job better, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal rim device, the BEST 2401 narrow stile device is non-handed, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch wide stile pushpad device is non-handed and Grade 1.
13) What electrified rim exit devices compare to the Detex V40xNS with request to exit or delayed egress?
The Detex V40xNS is offered with hardwired electric alarm, electric dogging, delayed egress, and request to exit signal switch options. For comparable electrified rim hardware, the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device with RX and motorized electric latch retraction, the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and Dormakaba lists a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in a classroom function. Those three are wide stile or wide-stile trim builds, so confirm stile width before substituting on a 2 inch stile.
14) How tough is the Detex V40 compared to other narrow stile rim devices?
The V40xNS is Grade 1 and tested to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force, with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, high impact ABS, and anodized surfaces. The angled end cap pushes abuse away from the device, which matters on tenant entries that get kicked and pried. Grade 1 narrow stile alternatives include the TownSteel ED3700, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, and the Falcon 19-R.
15) Can I change the outside trim later without pulling the Detex V40 off the door?
Yes. The V40xNS uses a modular design that accepts a range of outside trims and functions, and the outside trim can be changed or rekeyed without removing the device from the door. For a property manager rekeying a building, that means a lock change at the trim rather than a full hardware swap.
16) Is the Adams Rite EX88 the same kind of device as the Detex V40xNS?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit devices, but the Adams Rite EX88 is an interlocking rim device with a narrow stile design and is listed non fire rated, while the Detex V40xNS uses a 3/4 inch stainless steel deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and is offered in both fire rated and non-rated builds. Adams Rite also lists the 8800 Series narrow stile interlocking device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
17) What is a lower-grade alternative if Grade 1 is not required on the opening?
The Detex V40xNS is a Grade 1 device. Where Grade 1 is not required, Cal-Royal lists Grade 2 rim devices including the 5000 in a 36 inch touch bar version and the 5500 in a 48 inch push bar version, both heavy duty and non fire rated. The Cal-Royal A9800 36 inch and A9820 48 inch exit only rim devices are also carried with a Grade 2 rating.
18) Which narrow stile devices have hex key dogging like the Detex V40xNS?
The Detex V40xNS uses 1/8 turn hex key dogging and is also offered with hex, cylinder, or no dogging as an ordering choice. Among comparable devices, the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device in a 36 inch size. Design Hardware also lists the 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device and the 2000R 33 inch standard duty rim device with hex key dogging.
19) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Detex V40xNS?
They solve different openings. The Detex V40xNS is a rim device that latches to a rim strike on the frame or mullion. Hager lists the 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device and the 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, both of which latch top and bottom through rods concealed in the door. If the door is already prepped for a rim strike, stay with a rim device.
20) What compares to the Detex V40xNS if I need a nightlatch function instead of a lever that is always active?
The Detex V40xNS is built with the lever always active function. For key-retracted outside access, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with a night latch function and is listed as narrow stile and not wood door compatible.
21) What finishes does the Detex V40xNS narrow stile exit device come in?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum, which is the usual match for clear anodized storefront, and 711 black aluminum for dark bronze or black anodized frames. Both are offered across all sizes, ratings, and electrified options.
22) Is there installation paperwork available for the Detex V40 Value Series?
Yes. Detex publishes installation instructions and a Value Series V40 parts list, plus V40 door prep templates and an installation video. The device itself ships with the mounting plate and strike locator system, which replaces the paper template step on the door.
