Detex V5002D2W-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V50 vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod device latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a mullion, so it works on double doors with no center mullion. Order it as a top and bottom rod device for two-point latching, or as a top rod only device where a bottom drop bolt is not wanted, such as where floor conditions or sweep clearance make a bottom strike impractical.
2) Is the Detex V50/V51 exit device handed, and can I reverse it in the field?
Handing matters on this one. You pick Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse when ordering, but the device is built handed and field reversible, so a crew can flip it on site if the opening turns out opposite to what was measured.
3) Will the Detex V5002D2W dummy lever trim let someone in from the outside?
No. The D2W trim is a dummy lever, meaning it is a pull only with no latch retraction from the outside. The lever does not operate the device, so the door stays secure from the pull side and egress is from the inside push rail only. If you need entry from outside, specify a keyed or thumbpiece lever trim function instead of the dummy.
4) Will the Detex V50 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Not as the device itself. The V5002D2W/V5102D2W is a wide stile configuration, so it needs the wider stile face of a hollow metal, wood, or wide stile aluminum door. Narrow and standard stile pull trims are available for the outside, but the rail and mounting are wide stile. On a true narrow stile storefront, use a narrow stile device instead.
5) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex V50/V51 vertical rod device, and can I get it hurricane rated too?
Four rating choices are offered: non-rated, fire rated, hurricane, and hurricane plus fire rated. Note that fire rated openings do not permit mechanical dogging, so pair a fire rated build with the less/no dogging option. Non-rated openings can take hex dogging or cylinder dogging to hold the latches retracted during business hours.
6) Will the 3/4 inch top latch bolt on the Detex V50 catch my existing strike?
The top latch is a stainless steel deadlocking bolt with 3/4 inch throw, and the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long drop bolt. Because the throws and rod geometry are specific to the device, plan on installing the supplied strikes rather than reusing an old set. You choose either the 96 surface non-roller top strike with non-dust-proof bottom strike, or 96B which substitutes a dust proof bottom strike, which is the one to take on exterior or dusty floors.
7) I only need exit-only panic hardware with no outside trim - what should I use instead of the V50/V51 dummy lever version?
The Detex V50/V51 covered here is configured with a dummy lever trim function, so if the opening needs no outside trim at all, an exit-only vertical rod device fits better. Exit-only wide stile options include the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a 36 inch Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series, and the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device, which is Grade 2 heavy duty and ADA compliant. Marks USA M9900VR is another exit-only vertical rod panic device at 36 inch by 84 inch and is non-handed, where the Detex is ordered by right hand reverse or left hand reverse.
8) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if I am comparing against the Detex V50/V51?
The Detex V50/V51 can be specified fire rated, or hurricane and fire rated, as a rating option. Among comparable vertical rod devices, 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 an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers fire rated exit-only vertical rod devices in both 36 inch by 84 inch (M9900FVR) and 48 inch by 84 inch (M9900F-VR) sizes.
9) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device to the Detex V50/V51 Value Series?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 1, from the 88 Series, in a 3 ft width for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V50/V51 is also Grade 1 and wide stile, and comes in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with a dummy lever trim function. The Von Duprin figure is non-fire-rated, while the Detex V50/V51 can be ordered non-rated, fire rated, hurricane, or hurricane and fire rated.
10) Can I get alarm or delayed egress built into the Detex V50 device instead of adding a separate alarm?
Yes, four electrified builds are offered: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch. EB is the one to pick where no power is run to the door. EX gives a dry signal to an access control panel that the rail was pushed, while EE is the 15 second delayed egress build for controlled exits.
11) Can my maintenance tech rekey or swap the outside trim on a Detex V50 without pulling the device off the door?
Yes. The trim system is modular, and changeout or rekeying is done without removing the device from the door. That matters for a property manager standardizing keyways across a building later, or upgrading a dummy lever opening to a keyed function without re-prepping the door.
12) Is the Detex V50 Value Series tough enough for a school or hospital main exit?
It is a commercial Grade 1 device. The rail is a ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces, and the end cap is angled to deflect cart and traffic impact away from the device. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware, which is what an institutional spec normally calls for on a main egress opening.
13) Can I hold the doors unlatched during business hours with the Detex V50?
On a non-rated opening, yes. A 1/8 turn dogging mechanism holds the pushrail depressed and the latches retracted, and you choose hex dogging (tool operated) or cylinder dogging (key operated, better where you do not want staff dogging the door). Order less/no dogging for fire rated openings, since fire exit hardware must latch on every cycle.
14) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex V50/V51 on a Grade 1 spec?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2 heavy duty and is not fire rated. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is Grade 1, so a drawing calling for Grade 1 vertical rod hardware is not satisfied by the 9860. If the spec also calls for fire rated hardware, note the 9860 carries no fire rating while the Detex can be ordered fire rated.
15) Does the Detex V50/V51 or one of its comparables cover a top-rod-only application on a tall door?
The Detex V50/V51 is the device to look at for both of those conditions: it is offered as a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device, and in door heights of 84 inch, 96 inch, and 120 inch. The comparable vertical rod devices from Delaney, Marks USA, and Imperial USA are catalogued for 84 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is specified for 1-3/4 inch thick doors in a 3 ft width.
16) Does installing a Detex V50 require paper templates?
No. A patented mounting plate and strike locator system replaces paper templates, so hole locations on the door and frame are marked off the hardware itself. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list for the V50/V51, plus door prep templates, and door prep is minimal compared to a template layout.
17) What is the difference between the Delaney 9100 and 8100 Series vertical rod devices when I am cross-shopping the Detex V50/V51?
Both Delaney devices are Grade 1 vertical rod type devices sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door and neither is fire rated. The 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is described as heavy duty and supplied in a stainless steel finish; the 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is the other Grade 1 vertical rod line. The Detex V50/V51 is also Grade 1 and is supplied in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum.
