Detex V5002BN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex V50/V51 surface vertical rod device work on a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod device latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a center mullion, so it secures double doors without one. The top latch is a 3/4 inch stainless deadlocking bolt and the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long drop bolt. If your opening is a single door with a frame stop, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) What does the Dummy Lever function mean on the Detex V5002BN/V5102BN?
Dummy lever means the outside lever is fixed and does not retract the latches. It is a pull only, so entry from the outside is not possible with this trim, while egress from the inside is always free by pushing the touch rail. If you need key entry from outside, specify a keyed trim function instead of the dummy lever version.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V50 exit device?
Yes, handing is a required selection: Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse. The device is handed, but it is field reversible, so a unit can be flipped on site if the opening turns out opposite to what was ordered.
4) Can I get the Detex V50/V51 fire rated?
Rating is an ordering choice on this series: Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, or Hurricane and Fire Rated. Note that fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged down, so pair a fire rated unit with the Less/No dogging option rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
5) What door heights and widths does the Detex Value Series vertical rod device cover?
Door height is specified at 84, 96, or 120 inches, and device size is 36 or 48 inches for the door width. The rails are field sizable, so a 36 inch device can be cut down for a narrower leaf.
6) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod?
Both are offered. Top and bottom rod gives you two-point latching, head and threshold. Top rod only (less bottom rod) removes the floor strike and the bottom rod, which is the usual pick where the floor is uneven, where carts and traffic would beat up a bottom rod, or in wet areas. Top rod only devices normally need an auxiliary fire pin arrangement on labeled openings, so confirm the fire rated configuration matches your listing requirements.
7) Will this Detex device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V50/V51 is a wide stile device and needs the stile width of a wood, hollow metal, or wide stile aluminum door. For a narrow stile glass door you need a narrow stile device instead.
8) Can I get an alarmed or delayed egress version of the Detex V50/V51?
Yes, electrified options are part of the order: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, EX request to exit signal switch, or none. EB suits an existing opening with no power run to the door; EE is the choice for loss prevention doors where local code permits delayed egress; EX simply reports use of the device back to an access control panel.
9) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod alternative to the Detex V50/V51 Value Series device?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match: a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device from the 88 Series, built for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 3 ft width. The Detex V50/V51 is also Grade 1 and wide stile, and covers 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes with 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights. Where the two part company is configurability - the V50/V51 is ordered with hex, cylinder or less dogging, 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum finish, and top-and-bottom or top-rod-only rod sets.
10) I only need exit-only panic hardware with no outside trim - is the Detex V50/V51 dummy lever version the right call?
If the opening never needs outside access, an exit-only device is the simpler order. The Marks USA M9900VR is an exit-only vertical rod panic device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, with the M9900VR-48X84 covering 48 inch by 84 inch, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in exit only for 36 inch. The Detex V50/V51 ships with a dummy lever as its outside trim, which gives you a pull on the outside face without a locking function, and its modular design lets the trim be changed or rekeyed later without pulling the device off the door.
11) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if the Detex V50/V51 configuration I want is not?
The V50/V51 is ordered with a rating option of Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, or Hurricane and Fire Rated, so a fire opening is covered by selecting the fire rated build. If you are cross-shopping, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR for 36 inch by 84 inch and the M9900F-VR for 48 inch by 84 inch, both fire rated exit only. Note that fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged, so the hex or cylinder dogging options on the V50/V51 apply to non-rated builds.
12) Can I use the Cal-Royal 9860 in place of the Detex V50/V51 on a Grade 1 spec?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2 and is exit only with no fire rating, so it will not satisfy a drawing calling for Grade 1 panic hardware. The Detex V50/V51 is Grade 1 commercial hardware and is available in fire rated builds. If the spec is Grade 1 but the budget is the issue, the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) and 9100 Series (DLY-692301) are both Grade 1 vertical rod devices for 36 inch by 84 inch doors.
13) For a tall 96 inch or 120 inch door, which vertical rod device should I be looking at?
The Detex V50/V51 is ordered by door height in 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch, so tall openings are covered without a special rod order. Most of the comparable vertical rod devices are catalogued at a fixed 84 inch door height - the Delaney 9100, F9100 and 8100 Series and the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR are all built for 36 inch by 84 inch or 48 inch by 84 inch doors - so on a 96 inch or 120 inch opening the V50/V51 is the straightforward selection.
14) What dogging options come on the Detex V50/V51 and which should I pick?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. The device uses 1/8 turn dogging. Hex key dogging is the low cost pick for a back-of-house door staff control. Cylinder dogging keys the function into your existing key system so only keyholders can hold the latch retracted, which most schools and multi-tenant buildings prefer. Order less/no dogging on any fire rated opening.
15) What strike option should I order with the Detex vertical rod device?
Two strike packages: the 96 surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust proof bottom strike, or 96B which substitutes a dust proof bottom strike. Take the 96B where the bottom strike is set in a floor that collects grit, sand, or water, since a dust proof strike keeps the drop bolt pocket clear.
16) What is a cheaper vertical rod exit device if I do not need Grade 1?
The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device is Grade 2, heavy duty, exit only and non fire rated, which suits a light traffic non-labeled opening. The Detex V50/V51 is Grade 1 and can be ordered fire rated, so keep the Detex where the opening is labeled or sees heavy daily traffic.
17) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a standard 36 x 84 door. What are my options besides the Detex?
The Detex V50/V51 can be ordered Fire Rated in a 36 inch size for an 84 inch door. Straight alternatives we carry include the Delaney F9100 Series (Grade 1, fire rated, for a 36 x 84 door, aluminum finish) and the Marks USA M9900FVR fire rated 36 x 84 exit only device. Both of those peers are exit only or fixed configurations; the Detex takes changeable outside trim and electrified options.
18) Can I change the outside trim later without pulling the Detex device off the door?
Yes. The outside trims are changed or rekeyed without removing the device from the door, and the design is modular so it accepts a range of outside trims and functions. For a property manager rekeying a building, that means service at the trim only rather than a full device swap.
19) My doors are non-handed pairs - does handing rule out the Detex V50/V51?
The V50/V51 is a handed device ordered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though it is field reversible, so one part number can be swapped on site if the handing was called wrong. If you would rather avoid handing entirely at the order stage, the Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed vertical rod panic device for 36 inch by 84 inch doors, and the fire rated M9900FVR is likewise non-handed at that size.
20) Is a wide stile device like the Von Duprin 8827-3FT interchangeable with the Detex V50/V51 on aluminum storefront?
Both are wide stile devices, so neither is intended for a narrow stile aluminum door. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device sized for a 1-3/4 inch thick door at 3 ft, while the Detex V50/V51 is a Grade 1 wide stile device offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. Before treating one as a drop-in for the other, confirm the stile width and existing strike locations, since the V50/V51 uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system for its own hole pattern and its top strike is ordered as the 96 surface non-roller strike or the 96B dust proof bottom strike.
21) What finishes does the Detex V50/V51 come in, and will it match my other doors?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the standard clear anodized look that matches most aluminum storefront and commercial hollow metal hardware; 711 matches dark bronze/black anodized frames.
22) What makes the Detex Value Series easier to install than a typical economy panic device?
It ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, which sets the top and bottom strike positions off the device itself. Detex also publishes installation instructions, a parts list, door prep templates and an install video for the V50 series.
23) Will the Detex V50/V51 hold up in a school corridor or warehouse door?
It is a commercial Grade 1 device with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces, plus an angled end cap that deflects cart and door-swing damage away from the mechanism. Latching is stainless: a 3/4 inch deadlocking top bolt and a 5/8 by 5-5/8 inch bottom drop bolt.
