Detex V5002AN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V50 surface vertical rod device secure a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what it is for. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold instead of into a center post, so a pair of doors without a removable mullion can be secured. The top latch is a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking bolt and the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long drop bolt into the floor strike. If your opening has a mullion, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) Do I have to order the Detex V50/V51 exit device handed, or can I flip it in the field?
Handing is called out at order time, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device itself is handed and field reversible, so a unit can be changed on site if the opening turns out to be the opposite hand. It is also field sizable, which helps when the door width on site does not match the drawing.
3) What door widths and heights does the Detex Value Series vertical rod device cover?
Device length is ordered as 36 inch or 48 inch, and rod length is ordered by door height at 84 inch, 96 inch or 120 inch. The 96 inch and 120 inch rod sets are what you specify for tall openings rather than cutting standard rods short. Since the rail is field sizable, the 36 inch device covers doors narrower than 3 feet.
4) Can I get the Detex V50/V51 fire rated, and can it still be dogged?
Fire rated, hurricane, hurricane plus fire rated, and non-rated builds are all offered. Dogging is a separate choice of hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Fire doors have to latch on every cycle, so specify the less/no dogging option on a fire rated opening and use hex or cylinder dogging only where the door is non-rated.
5) What is the difference between the top rod only and top and bottom rod versions of the Detex V50?
The top and bottom rod build throws the 5/8 inch by 5-5/8 inch drop bolt into a floor strike as well as latching at the head, which is the higher security setup. The top rod only build (often called less bottom rod) latches only at the head, so there is nothing at the threshold to collect dirt, jam, or trip people up. Top rod only is the usual pick for retail and high traffic openings and where floor conditions are poor; top and bottom is the pick where you want two-point latching.
6) Does the Detex V5002AN dummy pull trim mean the door can be opened from outside?
No. The V5002AN/V5102AN is supplied with dummy pull trim, which is a fixed pull only. It gives you something to grab on the exterior but it does not retract the latches, so the door stays secured from outside and is egress only from within. If you need keyed or lever entry from the outside, you need a different trim function from the Value Series trim range rather than the dummy pull.
7) Will this Detex device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V50/V51 Value Series is a wide stile device, so it needs the stile width of a hollow metal or wood door, or a wide stile aluminum door. For a narrow stile glass front door you need a narrow stile device instead. Note that Detex does offer narrow stile pull trims within the same trim family, but the device body itself is wide stile.
8) Can I get alarm or delayed egress built into the Detex V50/V51 instead of adding a separate unit?
Yes, and that is one of the reasons to pick Detex here. The electrified options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB alarm with its own battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch, or you can take the device with none of them. EB is the one to use where there is no power at the door. EX is what you want when the device just needs to report to an access control panel or shunt an alarm.
9) I need a vertical rod panic device for a 36 by 84 fire rated door but I do not need outside pull trim. What should I use instead?
When the opening only needs egress and no outside trim, an exit only device is the simpler build. The Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device sized 36 inch by 84 inch, exit only and non-handed, and the Delaney F9100 Series 694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish. The Detex V50/V51 is configured with dummy pull trim on the outside and is handed, ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, so choose it when the pull side matters.
10) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod alternative to the Detex V50/V51 dummy pull trim device?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match in configuration: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, from the 88 Series, in a 3 ft size for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is also a wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device, and it is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. The practical difference is breadth of configuration: the Detex is ordered with a choice of 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum finish, top and bottom rod or top rod only, and non-rated, fire rated, hurricane, or hurricane and fire rated builds, while the Von Duprin peer is listed as a single non-fire-rated 3 ft build.
11) Which vertical rod device should I order for a 48 inch wide door?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is offered in a 48 inch size as well as 36 inch, with door heights of 84, 96, and 120 inches. Among comparable vertical rod devices, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 covers a 48 inch by 84 inch opening exit only and non-fire-rated, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is the 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated exit only version. The Detex is the one to use if the 48 inch door is taller than 84 inches or needs outside dummy pull trim.
12) Which comparable vertical rod exit devices can be ordered with delayed egress or an alarm?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is the one built for that: it is ordered with an electrified option of EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, EX request to exit signal switch, or none. Mechanical vertical rod peers such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Cal-Royal 9860 are catalogued as standard mechanical exit devices without those built-in electrified functions, so an alarmed or delayed egress opening points to the Detex.
13) Which bottom strike should I order with a Detex V50 vertical rod device?
Two strike packages are offered. The 96 is a surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust proof bottom strike. The 96B swaps the bottom for a dust proof strike, which is the one to take on exterior doors, garages, and anywhere grit or water gets into the floor strike pocket. On a top rod only device the bottom strike question goes away.
14) Is the Detex V50 Grade 1, and how does it compare to other vertical rod devices?
The Detex V50/V51 carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating for heavy commercial traffic. Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is also a Grade 1 wide stile device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 rather than Grade 1, so it is a step down in duty rating. Where Detex separates from most of those is the built-in alarm and delayed egress options.
15) What is a lower-grade, simpler vertical rod exit device if Grade 1 is more than the opening needs?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit only, and not fire rated. It suits a non-rated opening where egress is the only requirement. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is Grade 1 and carries fire rated, hurricane, and hurricane plus fire rated build options, so specify the Detex when the door assembly is labeled or the facility standard calls for Grade 1.
16) Is a non-handed vertical rod device like the Marks USA M9900VR a drop-in substitute for the Detex V50/V51?
Not directly. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device that is exit only and non-handed, so one part number covers either leaf with no outside trim. The Detex V50/V51 is ordered by handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, and comes with dummy pull trim on the outside, and it is described as field reversible and field sizable. If the existing opening has an outside pull and a specific hand, the Marks device will not reproduce that without separate trim.
17) What finishes does the Detex Value Series vertical rod device come in?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the standard match for clear anodized aluminum storefront and most commercial hollow metal openings; 711 is the choice when the rest of the door hardware on the building is dark bronze or black. If you are standardizing a facility, pick one and stay with it across openings.
18) How much door prep does the Detex Value Series vertical rod device need?
Less than most. Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator in place of paper templates, so the hole locations are set off the hardware itself and the door prep is minimal. Detex also publishes door prep templates and installation instructions for the V50, which are worth pulling before you cut anything on a retrofit.
19) Is the Detex V50 durable enough for a school or apartment entry that gets abused?
It is built for that kind of traffic. The rail is a ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces, the latch components are stainless steel, and the end cap is angled so impacts deflect off the device instead of driving into it. Grade 1 is the heavy duty commercial rating. The 1/8 turn dogging lets you hold the latches retracted during high traffic hours on non-rated openings.
