Detex V40EU2W-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Detex V40EU2W rim exit device be installed on a wood door?
No. The V40EU2W is not wood door compatible, so it is intended for hollow metal and aluminum openings. If the opening is a wood door, look at a rim device rated for wood, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire-rated narrow stile rim device or the Adams Rite 8700 Series, both of which are listed as wood door compatible.
2) Will the Detex V40EU2W work on a pair of doors?
Yes, with a mullion. The V40 wide stile rim device is built for single doors and for double doors used with a mullion, because a rim device latches into a strike at the jamb rather than at the head and sill. For a pair with no center mullion, you need a vertical rod device instead, like the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod with a wide stile pushpad.
3) What door prep does the Detex V40 rim device cover, and will it drop onto an existing opening?
The V40 covers a 161 door prep, which is the common cylindrical lock prep, so it will cover that hole pattern on a metal door being converted to panic hardware. Detex also supplies a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, which sets the strike position off the device itself.
4) Will the Detex V40 latch bolt engage a standard rim strike?
The device uses a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt, and you choose the strike when you order: 99 surface strike or 98 semi-mortise. Pick the surface strike for an applied strike on the jamb face and the semi-mortise where the frame stop is prepped to receive it.
5) Is the Detex V40EU2W handed, and what do I need to specify when I order?
Yes, handing has to be called out: right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings used on outswinging exit doors. You also specify dogging (hex key, cylinder, or less dogging), strike type (99 surface or 98 semi-mortise), size (36 or 48 inch), finish (628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum), and the rating option.
6) Can I get the Detex V40 fire rated, and does dogging matter on a fire door?
Fire rated, hurricane rated, hurricane and fire rated, or non-rated versions are all offered. On a fire rated opening the device must latch every time, so order it less dogging; hex key and cylinder dogging hold the latch retracted and belong on non-rated openings only.
7) What does the electric lock/unlock function on the Detex V40EU2W actually do?
It electrifies the outside trim so the lever or pull can be locked and unlocked remotely from an access control system or a front desk release. Free egress from the inside push rail is always mechanical and unaffected by power. Separate electrified options are also offered on the V40 line: delayed egress, electric dogging, hardwired electric alarm, and a request to exit signal switch.
8) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront. The Detex V40EU2W will not fit - what rim device will?
The V40EU2W is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile opening needs a narrow stile device. Options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device, which lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device, which is fire rated, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700-36, a heavy duty Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device.
9) What is the closest electrified wide stile rim exit device to the Detex V40EU2W?
The SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is the nearest electrified wide stile rim device in the same family of applications. It is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile, non-fire-rated, and lists a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Detex V40EU2W is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with electric lock/unlock, offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes and in fire rated, hurricane rated, hurricane and fire rated, or non-rated builds. Another electrified option is the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim, a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function.
10) I only need mechanical panic egress, no access control. What wide stile rim device should I use instead?
If the opening does not need remote lock/unlock, a mechanical exit-only wide stile rim device covers it. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device, 36 inch and non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED2200-WO36 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device in exit only function, and the TownSteel ED1100-36 is a heavy duty Grade 1 36 inch wide stile panic rim device. The Detex V40EU2W carries the electric lock/unlock function, so it is the choice only when the door is tied into an access control system.
11) Can I use an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar in place of the Detex V40EU2W?
Not as a direct swap. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch unit is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both suit narrow or wide stile doors and are non-fire-rated. Those release a separate locking device rather than latching the door themselves. The Detex V40EU2W is a Grade 1 rim exit device with its own stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and a 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike, so it latches the opening on its own.
12) Which fire rated rim exit devices compare to the fire rated Detex V40EU2W?
The Detex V40EU2W is available in a fire rated build as well as hurricane rated and hurricane and fire rated. Comparable fire rated rim devices include the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch, both exit only with a panic protector end cap; the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated Grade 1 rim device; the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only; and the Arrow FS1250, a 32 inch fire rated rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are mechanical exit-only devices, while the V40EU2W carries the electric lock/unlock function.
13) For a 48 inch wide stile door, what alternatives are there to the 48 inch Detex V40EU2W?
The Detex V40EU2W comes in a 48 inch size for wide stile doors. Other 48 inch wide stile rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Dormakaba 9300A, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile exit only device listing 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness; the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only; and the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated rim device. The Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch minimum door width.
14) Is the Detex V40 tough enough for a high traffic entrance in a school or hospital?
It is a BHMA Grade 1 commercial panic and fire exit device with a heavy duty ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, and it holds over 1400 pounds of static pull force. That is the top BHMA durability tier, which is what schools, healthcare and other high traffic institutional openings typically specify.
15) Can I change the outside trim on a Detex V40 later without pulling the device off the door?
Yes. The V40 uses a modular trim system that accepts a range of outside trims and functions, and trim can be changed out without removing the device from the door. That matters for a property manager who starts with exit-only and later adds keyed or lever trim.
16) What is a comparable wide stile rim exit device if the Detex V40 is not the right fit?
For a straight mechanical wide stile rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the Von Duprin 22-3FT are Grade 1 wide stile rim devices, and the Von Duprin is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the requirement is an electrified rim device rather than an electrified trim, the SDC S6136 Spectra is a wide stile electrified architectural rim device listed for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
17) Is there a Grade 2 wide rim exit device I can use on a lower-traffic door instead of the Detex V40EU2W?
Yes. 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. Both are non-fire-rated and not rated for wood doors. The Detex V40EU2W is Grade 1 and carries the electric lock/unlock function, so the Cal-Royal units are mechanical devices at a different grade level rather than a functional match.
18) What is the difference between the Detex V40EU2W and the Sargent 12-8810 with RX and MELR?
Both are electrified wide stile rim devices. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim exit device supplied with RX and MELR and L trim. The Detex V40EU2W is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with electric lock/unlock, and its electrified options are ordered as delayed egress, electric dogging, hardwired electric alarm, request to exit signal switch, or none, with fire rated and hurricane rated builds available in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths.
19) Is a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501 an alternative to the Detex V40EU2W?
They solve different openings. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, latching into the head and sill through rods concealed in the door. The Detex V40EU2W is a rim device that latches into a surface strike, offered with a 99 surface or 98 semi-mortise strike, and it is intended for single and double doors with mullions. Choose the concealed rod device when the door must latch top and bottom with no surface strike, and the rim device when a surface or semi-mortise strike on the frame is acceptable.
20) What is a non-handed rim exit device I can stock instead of handing the Detex V40EU2W?
The Detex V40EU2W is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you would rather carry one non-handed device, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design rim exit device, the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile rim device in exit only, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, and the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device. None of those carry the electric lock/unlock function the V40EU2W provides.
21) Which finishes does the Detex V40 come in for matching other storefront hardware?
Two anodized aluminum finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Those are the two that typically line up with clear and dark bronze/black anodized storefront framing.
