Detex DTX-V40xNS HD 628 99 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V40xNS fit a 2 inch narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That's exactly what the V40xNS is built for. The extended-length rail spans the stile on 2 inch narrow stile doors, which is where a standard-length rim device runs out of room. It's a commercial, heavy-duty device and it is not rated for wood doors, so keep it on aluminum and hollow metal openings.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V40xNS?
You order it right hand reverse or left hand reverse, so yes, get the swing right on the purchase order. The latch itself is a non-handed Pullman type, which gives some flexibility during install, but the device is still built and shipped to the hand you select.
3) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex V40 narrow stile exit device?
The V40xNS is ordered as either Standard or F - Fire Rated, so pick the F option for a labeled opening. One thing that changes with fire rated: dogging. Mechanical dogging is not permitted on a fire door, so a fire rated order goes out less dogging even though the standard device offers hex key and cylinder dogging.
4) What outside trim options does the Detex V40xNS take, and can I change trim later?
Six choices: blank plate narrow (01PN), night latch pull trim narrow (03AN), night latch trim narrow (03PN), classroom lever (08BN), storeroom lever (09BN), or exit only with no outside trim at all. The device is modular, so trim can be swapped or rekeyed later without pulling the device off the door. That matters on a school or office where the function on a given opening changes after occupancy.
5) Can I get a Detex V40 with a built-in alarm or delayed egress?
Three electrified options are on the V40xNS: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, and EE delayed egress. EB is the one to look at where you have no power at the door, since it runs on battery. EE delayed egress is for exits you want to hold briefly against unauthorized use. Order it with None if you want a straight mechanical device.
6) Will the Detex V40xNS latch into my existing rim strike?
The latch is a 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type in stainless steel, which is the common throw for a rim exit device, so it will typically engage an existing rim strike set for that projection. Detex includes a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, so if the strike does need to move you're locating it off a jig rather than measuring by hand.
7) How do I keep an exit door unlocked during business hours with the V40xNS?
Dogging. The V40xNS offers 1/8 turn hex key dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex key is the standard maintenance choice and lets staff hold the pushbar depressed so the door pushes free all day. Cylinder dogging puts that under a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can do it, which is what most property managers want on a tenant entrance. Less dogging is the choice for fire rated openings.
8) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Detex V40xNS from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the nearest match on paper: a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a 36 inch length, with a product function of exit only or accepts trim, which mirrors how the V40xNS is ordered either exit only or with an outside trim such as the 09BN storeroom lever or 03PN night latch. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are also Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches. Both the V40xNS and the ED4200 are Grade 1; the ED4200 lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The V40xNS runs 36 and 48 inch sizes, so on a 48 inch leaf the Detex covers an opening the 36 inch ED4200 does not.
9) What fire rated alternative matches the Detex V40xNS F option on a narrow stile door?
The Detex V40xNS is ordered with a Rating choice of Standard or F - Fire Rated. Among fire rated rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is the narrow stile one, Grade 1 and fire rated. If the opening is not narrow stile, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device is Grade 1 and fire rated, the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch is fire rated exit only, and the Marks USA M9900F is fire rated exit only in 36 and 48 inch lengths. Only the Adams Rite 3700 is listed as narrow stile among these.
10) Is a wide stile rim exit device a substitute for the Detex V40xNS?
No. The V40xNS is a narrow stile device built with extended length to span 2 inch narrow stiles, and a wide stile chassis will not land on that rail. Devices such as the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 36 inch, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch, and the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch are all listed as wide stile Grade 1 rim devices - correct for a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal leaf, not for the 2 inch stile the V40xNS is made for. Confirm the stile width on the door before cross-shopping between the two families.
11) What size Detex V40xNS do I need for a 36 inch wide door?
The V40xNS comes in 36 inch and 48 inch device lengths, and the rail is field sizeable. The 36 inch covers standard 3 foot leaves; the 48 inch is for wider openings. Because you can cut it down in the field, the 36 inch handles anything at or under 3 feet without a special order.
12) Is the Detex V40 strong enough for a high-abuse entrance?
It's a Grade 1 heavy-duty device rated to withstand over 1,400 pounds of static pull force, with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, high impact ABS, and a stainless steel latch. That pull force number is the one that matters on a pry-prone storefront or a school exit that takes daily abuse.
13) Can I put the Detex V40xNS on an exterior door exposed to weather?
It is not a weatherized device. Under a canopy or on a protected vestibule leaf it's fine, but on a fully exposed exterior opening taking direct rain and salt, specify hardware built for it. The 628 brushed and 711 black finishes are anodized aluminum, which handles normal exterior storefront service, but the device itself carries no weatherized rating.
14) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to a Detex V40xNS rim device on a narrow stile door?
They solve different openings. The V40xNS is a rim device: the latch throws into a strike on the frame or mullion, which is why it suits single and double doors with mullions. The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, and the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 concealed vertical rod version with a wide stile pushpad. Vertical rod devices latch top and bottom into the head and threshold and require a door prepped for rods, so a pair of doors without a mullion takes vertical rod, while a mullion opening takes rim.
15) What is the equivalent of the Detex V40xNS night latch trim option on another brand?
On the V40xNS the night latch function comes from the outside trim selection - 03PN night latch trim narrow or 03AN night latch pull trim narrow - on the same device chassis. The Sargent 8504 is a factory night latch function narrow design rim exit device, Grade 1 narrow stile, where the function is built into the device rather than selected as a trim. If the door also needs a classroom or storeroom function later, the V40xNS trims are changeable or rekeyable without removing the device.
16) What is a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Detex V40xNS rim exit device?
The V40xNS is a Grade 1 heavy duty device. Where the specification allows Grade 2, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a Grade 2 heavy duty 36 inch rim device with a touch bar and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a Grade 2 heavy duty 48 inch rim device with a push bar, matching the 36 and 48 inch lengths the V40xNS is built in. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, the same dogging method offered on the V40xNS. None of these are listed as narrow stile, so verify stile width before substituting.
17) What narrow stile rim device should I use for a plain exit only opening with no outside trim?
The V40xNS can be ordered Exit Only, but it is also built to accept trim, so if the opening will never take outside trim there are dedicated exit only narrow stile devices. The Falcon 19-R 36 inch is Grade 1 narrow stile exit only for a 1-3/4 inch door, the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO are Grade 1 narrow stile exit only at 42 inches for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the BEST 2401 Series is a narrow stile rim exit device, exit only and non-handed. The V40xNS is ordered by handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, where the BEST 2401 is non-handed.
18) Which narrow stile exit device is the alternative to the Detex V40xNS with electrified alarm or delayed egress?
The V40xNS carries the electrified options in the device itself: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, and EE delayed egress. If the electrification needs to sit in a different platform, the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device with a 7 foot rod, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. For a bar rather than a latching device, the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock and the SDC PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar uses tri-failsafe technology; both list narrow or wide stile. Those SDC bars signal a lock release and do not latch the door as a rim device does.
19) Is the Adams Rite starwheel interlocking device the same thing as a Detex V40xNS rim device?
They are both narrow stile rim exit devices, but they latch differently. The Detex V40xNS uses a 3/4 inch stainless steel deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt that is non-handed. The Adams Rite 8700 and 3700 Series 30 inch devices and the Adams Rite EX88 use starwheel interlocking. That difference shows up in strike prep and in what already exists in the frame, so an opening prepped for one is not automatically prepped for the other. Both Adams Rite 8700 and the V40xNS are Grade 1 narrow stile.
20) What 48 inch rim exit device can I use in place of the Detex V40xNS on a wide leaf?
The V40xNS is offered in 36 and 48 inch. Other 48 inch rim devices include the Cal-Royal 5500 Grade 2 heavy duty push bar, the Cal-Royal A9820 Series exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 wide stile crossbar at 48 inches, the Dormakaba 9300 Series Grade 1 wide stile exit only, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated exit only, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar wide stile exit only. Of these, none is listed as narrow stile, so on a 2 inch stile the 48 inch V40xNS is the one that fits the rail.
21) What finishes does the Detex V40xNS narrow stile exit device come in?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum, both anodized over a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion. 628 is the match for clear anodized storefront; 711 for dark bronze or black framing. If you're standardizing across a building, those are the two you'd be matching existing doors against.
22) Is the Detex V40xNS hard to install without factory templates?
Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator with the V40xNS that replaces the paper template, so hole locations and strike position come off the jig. Detex also publishes door prep templates, installation instructions, and a parts list for the Value Series V40 if you need the prep dimensions before the device is on site.
