Detex V5001PNxNS-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V50 narrow stile vertical rod device?
Yes. The device is handed and you pick Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse when you order. It is also field reversible, so if the wrong hand shows up on site you can flip it rather than reorder. Exit devices on outswing doors are always the reverse hands, which is why those are the only two choices.
2) Will the top latch of this Detex Value Series device catch my existing storefront strike?
The top bolt is a stainless steel deadlocking latch with a 3/4 inch throw, and the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long drop bolt into the floor. You order strikes with the device: option 96 gives a surface non-roller top strike and a standard bottom strike, and 96B swaps the bottom for a dust proof strike. Reusing an old strike is rarely worth it here, since the patented mounting plate and strike locator sets the new strike position for you.
3) Should I use a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device on this Detex?
Both are orderable. Top and bottom rod latches into the header and the floor for the most security, which suits exterior and after-hours doors. Top rod only (commonly called less bottom rod) removes the floor bolt and the strike you would otherwise mount in the threshold, so nothing sticks up to trip over, nothing fills with grit, and cleaning crews stop damaging it. Interior traffic doors and doors over finished flooring usually go top rod only.
4) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex V50 narrow stile vertical rod exit device?
Yes, the Value Series narrow stile vertical rod is built in both Fire Rated and Non-Rated configurations, so you choose the rating when ordering. One caution on fire rated openings: dogging is not permitted on fire exit hardware, so a fire rated unit is ordered less dogging. Hex dogging and cylinder dogging belong on the non-rated panic version.
5) What are my alternatives to the Detex V5001PNxNS if my doors are wide stile?
Go to a wide stile surface vertical rod instead. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod in a 36 inch size. The Detex is narrow stile and will not span a wide stile door prep correctly.
6) What is the difference between the Detex V5001PNxNS vertical rod device and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT?
Both are Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices, but they are built for different door stiles. The Detex V5001PNxNS/V5101PNxNS Value Series is a narrow stile device, intended for aluminum narrow stile double doors without a mullion. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile device rated Grade 1 in the 88 Series, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and covers a 3 ft opening. If the door is a narrow stile storefront leaf, the Detex is the one that fits the rail width; if it is a hollow metal or wide stile wood door, the 8827-3FT is the match.
7) What fire rated vertical rod exit devices can I use on a 36 x 84 door besides the Detex Value Series?
The Detex V5001PNxNS/V5101PNxNS is available in a fire rated configuration for 36 inch and 48 inch devices on 84, 96, and 120 inch door heights, in narrow stile. For a 36 x 84 opening that is not narrow stile, the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device sized 36 x 84 in an aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for 36 x 84, exit only and non-handed.
8) I need a vertical rod exit device with a delayed egress or alarm option. Do the comparable devices offer that?
The Detex V5001PNxNS/V5101PNxNS Value Series can be ordered with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch, as well as with no electrified option. The comparable vertical rod devices are mechanical exit only or standard panic devices, such as the Cal-Royal 9860 exit only and the Marks USA M9900VR exit only, so if the opening calls for alarm or delayed egress the Detex is the one to configure.
9) Can I get this Detex exit device with an alarm or a delayed egress function?
Four electrified builds are offered alongside the plain mechanical version: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm running on battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request-to-exit signal switch. EB suits a back door with no power nearby. EX is the one to pick when you only need the access control panel to see a legitimate exit and shunt the alarm, not to sound a local horn.
10) Which dogging option should I order on the Detex V50 exit device?
Three choices. Hex dogging holds the pushbar depressed with an allen wrench, fine for a back-of-house door where only staff touch it. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so anyone with the building key can dog and undog it, and that is what a property manager wants on a storefront that goes to push-pull during business hours. Less/no dogging is the choice for a fire rated opening. Dogging is a 1/8 turn mechanism on this device.
11) Is the Detex Value Series V50 exit device Grade 1?
Yes, the narrow stile vertical rod Value Series carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating and is a commercial device. Grade 1 is the highest of the three BHMA durability grades and is what most institutional and government specs call for on an exit opening. The rail is ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces.
12) Can I add a keyed lever or pull trim later without pulling the Detex device off the door?
Yes. The Value Series takes a range of outside trims and functions, and the design lets you change out or rekey the trim without removing the device from the door. That matters when you rekey a building or move a door from exit-only to keyed entry, since one tech can do it in place instead of pulling and resetting the rods.
13) What is a simpler exit-only alternative to the Detex Value Series vertical rod device?
If the door never needs outside trim, dogging or an alarm, a fixed-size exit-only device covers it with far fewer decisions. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device, exit only and non-handed, so there is no handing to specify, and the M9900FVR is the fire rated equivalent in the same size. The Delaney 8100 Series is another Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod built for a 36 by 84 door. The tradeoff is the Detex is the one that gives you trim changeout, cylinder dogging, tall-door rods and electrified options on one platform.
14) Is there a Grade 2 vertical rod exit device I can use where Grade 1 is not required?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit only, and non fire rated. The Detex V5001PNxNS/V5101PNxNS Value Series carries a Grade 1 rating and is offered in both fire rated and non-rated configurations. Choose by what the opening is specified for: a Grade 1 requirement on the drawing or a fire door assembly rules out the Grade 2 Cal-Royal.
15) The Detex V5001PNxNS requires me to specify handing. Is there a vertical rod device that does not?
The Detex V5001PNxNS/V5101PNxNS is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse and is field reversible. If you would rather not commit to a hand at order time, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is listed as exit only and non-handed, and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR 36 x 84 is also non-handed. Note those are exit only devices, while the Detex accepts a variety of outside trims and functions.
16) What are my options for a 48 inch vertical rod exit device?
The Detex V5001PNxNS/V5101PNxNS Value Series is offered in a 48 inch device size in narrow stile, in fire rated or non-rated form. For wider non narrow stile doors, Marks USA offers the M9900VR at 48 x 84 as an exit only vertical rod panic device, and the MARM9900F-VR at 48 x 84 in a fire rated exit only version. Match the choice to the door stile and to whether the opening is part of a fire rated assembly.
17) How do the Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series vertical rod devices compare to the Detex Value Series?
The Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door, non fire rated, and the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for 36 x 84 in a stainless steel finish, also non fire rated. The Detex V5001PNxNS/V5101PNxNS is likewise Grade 1 but is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device built for double doors without a mullion, offered in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum, with top and bottom rod or top rod only configurations.
18) What finishes does the Detex narrow stile vertical rod device come in, and will it match my storefront?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Those are the two that match standard clear-anodized and dark-anodized aluminum storefront framing, so a fleet of entrances can be kept uniform. No bronze or brass option in the Value Series.
19) How does the Detex Value Series install compare to a standard vertical rod device?
Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of a paper template. You position the plate, mark through it, and the top and bottom strike locations come off the same reference, which is where most vertical rod installs go wrong. Door prep is minimal and the rail is field sizable. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list for the V50/V51 Value Series.
