Detex V4014D2W-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the "lever always active" function on the Detex V4014D2W actually do?
The outside lever is always unlocked, so anyone can pull the door open from the outside at any time while the push rail still gives free egress from the inside. It is a passage-type trim function, not a keyed nightlatch or classroom function. Use it where the opening needs to stay operable both directions but still needs code-compliant panic hardware. If you need the outside side to stay locked, you want an exit-only or nightlatch function instead, for example the Sargent 8504 nightlatch rim device.
2) Is the Detex V40 available fire rated, and is there a hurricane rated version?
Both. The V40 rim device can be ordered Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane Rated, or Hurricane and Fire Rated, so one series covers a stair door, an exterior egress door in a coastal county, and a plain non-rated exit. Pick the rating on the order. Fire rated devices are supplied without mechanical dogging, so if you need to hold the latch retracted during business hours that is a non-rated opening.
3) What sizes does the V40 come in and will one fit a 42 inch door?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch. The rail is field sizeable, so the 48 inch device is cut down on site to suit a door between the two sizes. Order the size that is equal to or larger than the door width you have to cover, then trim.
4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V40?
The device itself is non-handed, but the order still asks for Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse because the outside lever trim is handed. Stand outside the door: if it swings out toward you and the hinges are on your right, it is right hand reverse. Get that wrong and the lever points the wrong way.
5) Can I dog the Detex V40 open during business hours?
Yes, on non-rated devices. Order hex dogging (1/8 turn hex key) for the standard shop approach, cylinder dogging if you want it keyed so staff cannot dog it with a common hex wrench, electric dogging if you want it released from an access control panel or timeclock, or less/no dogging. Fire rated exit hardware cannot be mechanically dogged.
6) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V40 for access control?
Four, plus none. Request To Exit (signal) switch sends a dry contact to the access panel when the pushpad is pressed, so the alarm system knows the door was used legitimately. Electric dogging retracts the latch remotely for scheduled unlocking. Hardwired electric alarm sounds locally on unauthorized use. Delayed egress holds the door for the code-permitted delay after the pad is pushed, for facilities that need controlled egress. Delayed egress and alarm functions have local code and authority-having-jurisdiction requirements, so confirm the application with your AHJ.
7) Can the Detex V40 be used on a wood door, and what should I specify if it cannot?
The Detex V4014D2W is not wood door compatible. Among rim exit devices that are listed as wood door compatible, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking is Grade 1 and non fire rated, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is the fire rated Grade 1 version. Both are narrow stile devices, so confirm the stile width of the wood door leaf before ordering.
8) The door has a narrow stile aluminum frame - what should I use instead of the Detex V40?
The Detex V4014D2W is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile aluminum opening needs a narrow stile device. Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch interlocking rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch narrow stile exit only device, and the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch narrow stile device. For a fire rated narrow stile opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch device is fire rated and Grade 1.
9) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Detex V4014D2W if the spec calls for a different manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim exit device, non-handed, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not wood door compatible. Like the Detex V40, it is a wide stile rim device carrying a Grade 1 rating. The Detex V4014D2W is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with a lever always active function, so if the opening needs outside lever trim the V40 covers that function directly while the 22-3FT is specified as a pushpad rim device.
10) Which wide stile rim exit devices can replace the Detex V40 on a 48 inch door?
The Detex V40 is available in a 48 inch size. Among wide stile peers sized for 48 inch openings, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba 9300A is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 is a Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim device for a 48 inch minimum door width. The ED3200, 9300A and 2828 are all listed as exit only or panic device only, while the V40 carries a lever always active function.
11) I need a fire rated rim exit device - how does the Detex V40 compare to other fire rated options?
The Detex V40 is offered in fire rated and hurricane and fire rated configurations alongside non-rated. Other fire rated rim devices include the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only versions with a panic protector end cap, the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated exit only device. The Detex V40 differs in that it is also offered with a hurricane rating and with a lever always active function rather than exit only.
12) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the Detex V40 rim exit device?
No. The SDC PSB560 SureExit 36 inch pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar are switch bars that release an electromagnetic lock; they fit narrow or wide stile doors but do not latch the door themselves. The Detex V4014D2W is a Grade 1 rim exit device with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and a strike. If the opening relies on a maglock, a switch bar is the correct part; if the door needs its own latching and a keyed outside lever, the V40 is the device.
13) Which strike should I order with the V40, surface or semi-mortise?
Two choices. The 99 surface strike screws to the face of the frame stop and is the simpler retrofit on an existing frame. The 98 semi-mortise strike sets into the frame for a flatter, less exposed look and is usually the pick on new frames or where a surface strike would foul the frame profile. Either way the device latches with a 3/4 inch stainless deadlocking Pullman latch bolt.
14) What finishes does the Detex V40 come in, and will it match my storefront?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum, both anodized. 628 is the standard clear anodized match for typical aluminum storefront framing; 711 matches dark bronze or black anodized entrances. If you are standardizing a portfolio, these are the only two, so both openings you are matching need to land on one of them.
15) Is the Detex V40 strong enough for a high abuse exterior door?
It is a BHMA Grade 1 panic and fire exit device that withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force, with a heavy duty ribbed aluminum rail extrusion and high impact ABS. That is the rating institutional specs usually call for on school, healthcare, and government egress doors. The V40 sits in Detex's Value Series, so it is the economical Grade 1 rather than the top architectural line.
16) Can I rekey or change the outside trim on the V40 without pulling the device off the door?
Yes. The V40 uses a modular design, and outside trims can be changed or rekeyed with the device still mounted. For a property manager rekeying a building or swapping a lever for a different function later, that means no re-prep and no re-drilling of the door.
17) How does a rim device like the V40 compare to a concealed vertical rod device for my opening?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame head or stop at a single point, which makes it the simplest install and the easiest to service, but it needs a frame stop or a mullion to latch into. On a pair of doors with no mullion, a rim device will not work on both leaves; that is where a vertical rod device comes in, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, which latches at the head and the sill instead.
18) What are the closest wide stile Grade 1 alternatives to the Detex V40?
Among wide stile Grade 1 rim devices, the Von Duprin 22 Series (36 inch, 1-3/4 inch door), the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the TownSteel ED1100, and the DORMA 8300 Series are direct wide stile equivalents. The difference from the V40 is function: those peers are listed exit only or exit only with trim, while the V40 is ordered with an always active lever. If you need a cheaper wide stile bar and Grade 2 is acceptable for the opening, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a heavy duty Grade 2 touch bar device.
19) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Detex V40 rim exit device?
The Detex V40 is a 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 on a Grade 2 heavy duty chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar, also Grade 2 heavy duty. Neither is fire rated or wood door compatible. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, which matches the hex dogging option the V40 offers.
20) What are the differences between the Detex V40 with an electrified option and a dedicated electrified exit device?
The Detex V40 is offered with delayed egress, electric dogging, hardwired electric alarm, or request to exit signal switch options on a Grade 1 wide stile rim chassis. Dedicated electrified peers include the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Dormakaba E2103 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The V40 differs in that the electrified feature is selected as an option on a mechanical Grade 1 rim device carrying a lever always active function.
21) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Detex V40 rim exit device?
They solve different openings. The Detex V40 is a rim device that latches into a surface or semi-mortise strike on the frame. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod version. Vertical rod devices latch top and bottom and require a door prepped for concealed rods, so they are chosen for pairs and for openings where a frame-mounted strike is not wanted.
22) If I only need exit only and no outside trim, what wide stile Grade 1 rim device compares to the Detex V40?
The Detex V4014D2W is configured with a lever always active outside function. For openings needing no outside trim, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit only rim device, the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, the TownSteel ED9700 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device, and the Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device in exit only function. None of the four are wood door compatible except where noted, and all are non fire rated.
23) What matches the Detex V40 for a 36 inch wide stile opening if I want a heavy duty alternative?
The Detex V40 is offered in a 36 inch size with a Grade 1 rating. Heavy duty 36 inch wide stile peers include the TownSteel ED1100 and ED9700, both heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim devices, the DORMA 8300 Series Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, and the BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device. None of those four are fire rated or wood door compatible, while the V40 can be ordered fire rated or hurricane rated.
24) Does the V40 come with a template, or do I need to order door prep separately?
Detex ships the V40 with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that takes the place of a paper template, which is what keeps the strike and the latch in line on a field install. Detex also publishes V40 door prep templates, installation instructions, a parts list, and a maintenance manual, all linked on the product record.
25) What is the difference between the Detex V40 pushpad rail and a crossbar rim panic device?
The Detex V40 uses a heavy-duty ribbed aluminum rail with 1/8 turn hex key dogging. Crossbar alternatives include the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile exit only function and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. CRL Jackson also offers the 1095P paddle version and the 1295 non-handed push pad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, both wide stile exit only. Crossbar devices project further from the door face, which matters where traffic or furniture passes close to the leaf.
26) Which rim exit devices besides the Detex V40 are non-handed?
The Detex V40 is a non-handed, field-sizeable device, though handing is still selected at order as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Other non-handed or reversible rim devices include the BEST Precision 5101 Series with a non-handed universal design, the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile exit only non-handed device, the CRL Jackson 1295 non-handed push pad wide stile device, the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828, both Grade 1 reversible wide stile devices for 48 inch doors.
