Detex V5003ANxNS-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can this exit device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
It can. The Detex Value Series narrow stile device latches at the head and at the threshold with vertical rods, so a pair of narrow stile doors is secured without a center mullion. The top latch bolt is stainless 3/4 inch deadlocking and the bottom drop bolt is 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inches long.
2) Do I have to order this exit device left hand or right hand?
Handing is specified at order, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, but the device is field reversible, so an installer can swap the hand on site if the door turns out opposite to the order.
3) What do I need to specify when ordering a Detex V50xNS exit device?
Six things get chosen: device length (36 or 48 inch), door height (84, 96 or 120 inch) so the rods are the right length, fire rated or non-rated, top and bottom rod or top rod only, finish (628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum), and handing. You also pick dogging (hex, cylinder, or none), and strike option 96 or 96B, plus any electrified option.
4) Is there a version of this Detex device for a fire rated opening?
Yes. The V50xNS/V51xNS is ordered either fire rated or non-rated, so pick the fire rated build for a labeled opening. Note that fire rated exit devices do not get dogged down, so the hex or cylinder dogging options belong on the non-rated version.
5) Does this Detex exit device allow key entry from outside?
Yes. This build is the Key Retracts Pull Trim function, so a key in the outside trim retracts the latch and lets you pull the door open. The device is modular and accepts a range of outside trims, and trim can be changed out or rekeyed without pulling the device off the door.
6) Will this fit a 10 foot tall storefront door?
Yes. Door height is ordered at 84, 96 or 120 inches, and 120 inches covers a 10 foot leaf with the correct rod length supplied. Device rail length is a separate choice, 36 or 48 inches, sized to the door width.
7) I need exit only, no outside key access. Is this the right Detex model?
Not this one. The V5003ANxNS/V5103ANxNS is the Key Retracts Pull Trim function, meaning it comes with keyed outside pull trim. For an exit only opening with nothing on the outside, look at exit only devices such as the Marks USA M9900VR or the fire rated M9900FVR, both listed as Exit Only.
8) What surface vertical rod exit device should I use if my aluminum storefront doors have a wide stile instead of a narrow stile?
The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS is built specifically for narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile opening you want a device prepped for that stile. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod device, Grade 1, 3 ft, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series is also a wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in a 36 inch size.
9) I only need an exit-only vertical rod device with no outside trim. What are my options?
The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS is configured as Key Retracts Pull Trim, meaning it carries outside pull trim with a cylinder. If you want no outside operation at all, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is exit only and non-handed, and the same device is offered in a 48 x 84 size. The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device is also an exit only function.
10) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 by 84 door. What choices do I have?
The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS is offered in a Fire Rated configuration with a 36 inch size and 84 inch door height. For fire rated alternatives, the Delaney F9100 Series device is Grade 1 fire rated for a 36 x 84 door in an aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod device for 36 x 84, exit only and non-handed. A 48 inch fire rated Marks USA option is the MARM9900F-VR at 48 x 84.
11) Should I get the top rod only version or top and bottom rod?
Top and bottom rod latches at both the header and the floor, which is the stronger two-point hold on a pair. Top rod only (less bottom rod) drops the floor latch and the dust proof strike, which keeps debris, water and uneven thresholds from fouling the bottom bolt, common on exterior storefront doors. Both configurations are offered on the Detex Value Series narrow stile device.
12) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike options?
The 96 package is a surface non-roller top strike with a standard non-dust proof bottom strike. The 96B substitutes a dust proof bottom strike, which is what you want where the floor collects grit or water so the bottom bolt keeps seating cleanly.
13) Can I hold this door open during business hours?
Yes, on the non-rated version. Order hex dogging for a hex key held retraction, or cylinder dogging if you want the pushbar dogged and undogged with a key instead of an allen wrench. Less/no dogging is the third choice, and it is the one that goes on fire rated openings.
14) What electrified options come on the Detex Value Series narrow stile device?
Four, plus a plain mechanical build. EA is a hardwired electric alarm, EB is an alarm with battery power, EE is delayed egress, and EX is a request-to-exit signal switch for tying into an access control system. EB is the one to look at when there is no power run to the door.
15) Is the Detex Value Series Grade 1, and how does it compare to other vertical rod devices?
It is BHMA Grade 1 and built for commercial use. Among comparable vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series and the Von Duprin 8827 are also Grade 1, though the 8827 is wide stile. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2. The key separator here is stile: this Detex is one of the narrow stile options.
16) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex Value Series narrow stile vertical rod device?
They are not equivalent on two counts. The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS is Grade 1 and is a narrow stile device, while the Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 heavy duty and is an exit only function with no fire rating. If your spec calls out Grade 1 on a narrow stile door, the 9860 will not meet it.
17) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device if I do not need the electrified or delayed egress options?
The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS can be configured with EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, or EX request to exit, and also without any electrified option. If you want a plain mechanical Grade 1 vertical rod device, the Delaney 8100 Series for a 36 x 84 door and the Delaney 9100 Series in stainless steel finish for 36 x 84 are both Grade 1 non-fire-rated devices.
18) Do the alternative vertical rod devices need to be ordered handed the way the Detex does?
The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse and is field reversible. The Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 and the fire rated M9900FVR 36 x 84 are both described as non-handed, so handing does not have to be called out when ordering them.
19) What finishes does the Detex V50xNS come in, and will it match my existing storefront hardware?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the standard clear anodized look on most aluminum storefront, and 711 matches dark bronze/black anodized frames. The rail is ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces.
20) How hard is this device to install on a door that was never prepped for it?
Detex supplies a patented mounting plate and strike locator system instead of a paper template, which sets the device and strike positions off each other. Installation instructions and a parts list are published as PDFs, and Detex posts door prep templates and an installation video for the V50 family.
