Detex DTX-V40W LD 628 99 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Detex V40xW exit device on an exterior door or a gate that gets rained on?
That is exactly the opening it was built for. The V40xW is the weatherized version of the Detex Value Series rim device, made for single and double doors and gates that are or may be exposed to weather, with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces. It is tested to MIL-STD 810F Method 506.4 driving rain and Method 509.4 salt fog. Loading dock gates, exterior stair doors, pool and courtyard gates, and coastal openings where a standard interior device would corrode are the normal applications.
2) I am pulling an old cylindrical lock off a hollow metal door. Will the Detex V40xW cover the existing holes?
It covers a 161 door prep, which is the standard hollow metal prep a cylindrical lockset leaves behind, so the device conceals that hole pattern rather than requiring a patch plate. The design is also field sizeable to suit almost any door configuration, and Detex supplies a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of a paper template, so the new mounting holes and the frame strike get laid out off the device itself.
3) Can a Detex V40xW secure a pair of doors, or do I need a mullion?
A mullion. The V40xW is a rim device, so its latch throws sideways into a strike on the frame, and on a pair of doors that strike has to sit on a removable or fixed mullion between the leaves. Detex rates it for single and double doors and gates with mullions. If you need a clear opening with no center post, a rim device is the wrong type and you want a vertical rod device instead, which latches at the head and the sill: the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad is that kind of device.
4) What has to be specified when ordering a Detex V40xW weatherized exit device?
Five decisions build the part. Length, 36 inch or 48 inch. Finish, 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum. Dogging, cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Electrified option, EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, or none. Outside trim, from blank plates (01P, 01PN) through night latch pulls and trims (03A, 03AN, 03P, 03PN) to lever trims (08BN classroom, 09BN storeroom), or exit only with no outside trim at all. The N suffix on a trim is the narrow version for a tighter outside stile.
5) I need people to get back in through the exterior door, not just out. What outside trim goes on a Detex V40xW?
The device accepts outside trim rather than being exit only, and the choice sets the function. Night latch pull trim (03A, or 03AN in the narrow version) gives key retraction with a pull handle, the usual pick for a back or service door. Night latch trim without the pull is 03P and 03PN. For a lever on the outside, 08BN is classroom function and 09BN is storeroom, so 09BN keeps the lever locked at all times and needs a key every time, while 08BN can be keyed to leave the lever free. Blank plates 01P and 01PN cover the outside when no operation is wanted, and exit only means no outside hardware. Narrow trims (the N versions) exist for doors with a tight outside stile.
6) What is the difference between the EA, EB and EE options on the Detex V40xW?
They are three different jobs. EA is a hardwired electric alarm, so the horn in the device runs off building power and it is what you use where you can get a circuit to the door. EB is an electric alarm with battery, which is the one for a gate or remote exterior opening with no power run to it. EE is delayed egress, which holds the door on exit for a set interval and sounds while it counts, used where you want to slow an unauthorized exit rather than just record it. If none of those apply, the device is also built with no electrified option at all as a straight mechanical panic device.
7) Is the Detex V40xW listed for a fire rated opening?
The V40xW is a UL listed panic and fire exit hardware device, conforming to UL1034-34 Temperature Section 34, UL1034-54 Dust Section 54, and UBC standard 7-2 positive pressure. It is a Grade 1, heavy duty, commercial device. Fire exit hardware has to be ordered as the fire rated build, since a fire rated device is supplied without mechanical dogging.
8) Does the Detex V40xW have to be ordered handed, and is there a non-handed rim device instead?
Handing is part of the order on the V40xW, and the install sequence has you confirm door thickness, stile width and handing before you prep, so the swing needs settling first. If you are stocking spares for a mixed building and would rather carry one part, several non-handed rim devices cover both swings: the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design, and the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile exit only device. None of those three is a weatherized device, so they belong on interior openings.
9) The doors are wood - what rim exit device should I use instead of the Detex V40xW?
The Detex V40xW is not wood door compatible, so for a wood door the substitutions are the Adams Rite 3700, a 30 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device that is fire rated and wood door compatible, or the Adams Rite 8700, a 30 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that is also wood door compatible and is not fire rated. Choose between the two on whether the opening is a fire door. Both are narrow stile devices, so confirm the stile width on the wood door before ordering, since the Detex V40xW covers a 161 door prep on wide stile metal doors.
10) The aluminum storefront door has a narrow stile - what takes the place of the Detex V40xW there?
The Detex V40xW is a wide stile device that covers a 161 door prep, so a narrow stile storefront door needs a narrow stile rim device instead. Peers built for that stile include the Adams Rite 8800, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Adams Rite EX88 interlocking rim device, Grade 1 narrow stile; the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile device that is exit only or accepts trim; the TownSteel ED3700, a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile device; and the Falcon 19-R, a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Measure the lock stile before deciding, since a wide stile device will not land on a narrow stile prep.
11) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Detex V40xW rim exit device for a wide stile door?
The Detex V40xW is a Grade 1 heavy-duty wide stile rim exit device offered in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths, and weatherized for doors and gates exposed to the elements. For an interior wide stile opening, the closest peers in the same class are the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a Grade 1 wide stile rim device 36 inches long for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED5200, Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only or with trim; and the TownSteel ED9700, a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device. The Detex V40xW is the one of the group carrying a weatherized rating, so it stays on the list when the opening is exterior, a gate, or otherwise exposed to driving rain and salt air.
12) Can an SDC MSB550 switch bar or PSB560 pressure sense bar be used in place of the Detex V40xW?
No - those bars look like exit devices but do a different job. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are release bars for openings held closed by an electromagnetic lock, and both are listed for narrow or wide stile doors. The Detex V40xW latches the door itself with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman-type latch bolt and a strike, so it is the choice when the door needs its own latching hardware. Also watch for the Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP, which is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 devices rather than a complete exit device.
13) Should I get cylinder dogging or hex dogging on a Detex V40xW rim device?
Hex dogging is the standard mechanical option, a 1/8 turn with a hex key that holds the latch retracted so the door pushes free during business hours. Cylinder dogging does the same thing with a key cylinder instead of the hex wrench, which is what you want when maintenance staff carry keys and you do not want a loose Allen key deciding whether the building is open. Less dogging is the no-dogging build. Note that fire rated exit hardware cannot be mechanically dogged, so a fire rated opening takes the less dogging version.
14) How much abuse will the Detex V40xW take on a back door that gets pulled on and pried?
It is rated to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force, which is the number that matters on a service or delivery door someone leans into. Construction is a heavy duty ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman type latch bolt, and Detex classes it Grade 1 heavy duty for commercial use. The deadlocking feature on the Pullman latch is what keeps the bolt from being pushed back with a shim once the door is closed.
15) Will the Detex V40xW latch into the strike that is already on my frame?
Plan on setting the strike that comes with the device. The V40xW throws a 3/4 inch stainless deadlocking Pullman latch, and the strike has to be positioned to that throw and to the rail height, which is why Detex includes the patented strike locator as part of the mounting plate system instead of a paper template. Reusing an old rim strike from a different manufacturer only works if it is already located to that geometry, and the locator tells you in a minute whether it is.
16) What else could I use instead of the Detex V40xW on an interior wide stile door?
If the opening is indoors, you are paying for weatherizing you will never use. Grade 1 wide stile rim devices in the same class: the Corbin Russwin ED5200, a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, the TownSteel ED1100, a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic device, the Von Duprin 22-3FT at 36 inch and non-handed, and the DORMA 9300 Series at 48 inch, Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Where budget outranks grade, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch Grade 2 touch bar device and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch Grade 2 push bar device. Keep the V40xW for the openings that actually see weather.
17) What other rim exit devices are fire rated if the Detex V40xW is not the right fit for a fire door?
The Detex V40xW is a UL listed panic and fire exit hardware device conforming to UL1034-34, UL1034-54 and UBC 7-2 positive pressure requirements. Fire rated rim devices among the alternatives are the Dexter ED1000 fire rated Grade 1 rim device; the Marks USA M9900F, offered as a 36 inch and a 48 inch exit only device with a panic protector end cap; the Orca Hardware OED85, a 36 inch fire rated exit only rim device; the Arrow FS1250, a 32 inch fire rated rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Adams Rite 3700, a 30 inch Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile device that is also wood door compatible. Match the device length to the door width and the stile type to the door before ordering.
18) Which rim exit devices offer an electrified option comparable to the Detex V40xW EA, EB and EE?
The Detex V40xW is ordered with EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, or as a mechanical device with no electrified option. Among the alternatives, the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim device supplied with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function. The Detex V40xW is the one of the three carrying the delayed egress and self-contained battery alarm builds, so it stays in play when the requirement is local alarm or delayed egress at the door rather than an access control tie-in.
19) What is a simpler alternative to the Detex V40xW for a low traffic interior door?
The Detex V40xW is a Grade 1 heavy-duty device rated to withstand over 1400 pounds of static pull force. Where the opening does not call for that, the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, the Hager 4701 is a 36 inch standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification, and the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch Grade 2 rim device with a touch bar. The trade is duty level and grade against device length and format, so confirm which grade the facility standard or the door schedule calls for before substituting.
20) Which rim exit devices besides the Detex V40xW cover a 48 inch door?
The Detex V40xW is built in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths, so it covers the wide opening directly. Alternatives sized for the same door are the Dormakaba 9300A, a 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Cal-Royal 5500, a 48 inch Grade 2 push bar device; the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated exit only device; the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar device for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 reversible wide stile exit only device for 48 inch minimum door width. Measure the actual door leaf first, since device length is what has to match.
21) I need outside lever trim on the exit device - which alternatives accept trim and which are exit only?
The Detex V40xW takes a range of outside trims, including 08BN classroom lever trim, 09BN storeroom lever trim, 03A and 03P night latch pull trim with narrow versions, blank plates, or exit only with no outside operation. Among the alternatives, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and Corbin Russwin ED4200 are listed as exit only or accepting trim, the Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile Grade 1 device in night latch function, and the Dormakaba E2103 comes with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function. Devices such as the Marks USA M9900, the Orca Hardware OED55 and the Arrow 3880 exit bar are exit only, so plan a separate pull if the outside face needs a handle.
22) Which rim exit devices are non-handed if I do not want to confirm handing before ordering?
The Detex V40xW is ordered to the opening, and its installation guidance calls for verifying door thickness, stile width and handing before the device goes on. Where the handing is not confirmed, non-handed and reversible peers include the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a non-handed 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device; the BEST Precision 5101, a non-handed universal rim device; the BEST Precision 2401, a non-handed narrow stile exit only device; the CRL Jackson 1295, a non-handed push pad rim panic device in wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Sargent 2828 and 3828, both reversible Grade 1 wide stile devices for 48 inch doors. Handing still has to be right at install, but these ship able to go either way.
23) Can I match the Detex V40xW to the aluminum doors and dark storefront I already have?
Two finishes are built: 628 brushed aluminum, which matches clear anodized aluminum doors and frames, and 711 black aluminum for dark anodized or painted black storefront. Both are available in either length, and the anodized surface is part of what makes the device weather resistant, so the finish is not just cosmetic on an exposed opening.
24) The specification calls for a crossbar exit device instead of a rail - what are the options?
Crossbar devices in the same size class as the 36 inch and 48 inch Detex V40xW are the CRL Jackson 1095, a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim panic device in exit only function, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 3828 is a reversible Grade 1 wide stile standard push bar exit only device for 48 inch doors if the requirement is a push bar rather than a true crossbar. Confirm which form the door schedule actually specifies, because crossbar and push rail devices are not interchangeable on a finished elevation.
