Detex V5003P-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex V5003P vertical rod exit 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 at the threshold instead of into a center post, so it secures double doors without a mullion. The top latch bolt 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. If your opening has a mullion or is a single door, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering a Detex V5003P/V5103P exit device?
Several choices are required on the order. Dogging: hex, cylinder, or less dogging. Strike: the 96 surface non-roller top strike with non-dust-proof bottom strike, or 96B which substitutes a dust proof bottom strike. Handing: right hand reverse or left hand reverse. Then door height (84, 96, or 120 inch), device size (36 or 48 inch), finish (628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum), rod configuration (top and bottom rod, or top rod only), rating (non-rated, fire rated, hurricane, or hurricane and fire rated), and any electrified option.
3) Can I get a Detex vertical rod exit device without a bottom rod?
Yes. The V50/V51 Value Series is offered as a top and bottom rod device or as a top rod only device. Top rod only keeps the floor clear, which matters where carts and wheeled traffic run through the opening or where the threshold is uneven and the bottom bolt would drag. With the bottom rod deleted you lose the 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch drop bolt at the sill, so all latching is at the head.
4) Can this Detex exit device be used on a fire rated door?
A fire rated version of the V50/V51 Value Series is offered, and there are also hurricane and combined hurricane-and-fire-rated configurations alongside the non-rated one. You have to order the fire rated configuration specifically. One thing to plan for: fire exit hardware cannot be dogged, so on a fire door you would specify the less/no dogging option rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
5) Will a Detex V50 wide stile exit device fit an aluminum storefront door?
Probably not. The V50/V51 is a wide stile device, which needs the stile width of a hollow metal or wood door rather than the narrow vertical rail of a typical aluminum glass door. For a narrow stile storefront leaf you want a narrow stile device. The pull trim is offered in a narrow stile version, but the device chassis itself is wide stile.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex V5003P/V5103P from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match in build class: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in the 88 Series, sized 3 ft and prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V5003P/V5103P is also Grade 1 wide stile and comes in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. The functional difference is trim: the Detex is a key retracts latch pull trim device, so a key pulls the latch for outside entry, while the 8827-3FT is ordered as the device itself. If the opening needs keyed outside access through a pull trim, the Detex configuration covers it directly.
7) We only need exit-only vertical rod hardware with no outside trim - what should we order instead of the Detex V5003P/V5103P?
The Detex V5003P/V5103P is configured with key retracts latch pull trim, so it carries outside trim you would not use. For an exit-only opening, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches with an exit only function, and the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 vertical rod panic device, exit only and non-handed. The Marks being non-handed also removes the handing decision, where the Detex is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse.
8) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex V5003P/V5103P?
They are not interchangeable on spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod device rated Grade 2 with an exit only function and no fire rating. The Detex V5003P/V5103P is Grade 1 with key retracts latch pull trim, and it can be ordered fire rated, hurricane, hurricane and fire rated, or non-rated. If your drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not meet it.
9) What are the fire rated alternatives to the Detex V5003P/V5103P vertical rod device?
The Detex V5003P/V5103P can be ordered in a fire rated configuration, and also in a hurricane and fire rated configuration. If you want a different manufacturer, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 by 84 is a fire rated vertical rod device that is exit only and non-handed, with a 48 inch fire rated version also offered. The Delaney and Marks fire rated units are sized to a specific door; the Detex covers 84, 96, and 120 inch door heights.
10) What does the P trim on the Detex V5003P do, and can I lock the door from outside?
The P suffix is a pull trim with a key-retracts-latch function: turning the key from the outside retracts the latch so you can pull the door open, then it relocks. There is no outside lever operation. The device accepts a range of outside trims and functions, and pull trims come in standard and narrow stile versions.
11) Should I get hex dogging or cylinder dogging on the Detex V50?
Hex dogging uses an Allen wrench to hold the pushbar down, so the door stays push-pull during business hours, and it is the cheaper, standard route where staff control the wrench. Cylinder dogging takes a key instead, which is what schools and public buildings usually want so anyone with an Allen key cannot dog the opening. On a fire rated door, order less/no dogging. The V50 uses a 1/8 turn dogging mechanism.
12) What electrified options are available on the Detex V50 vertical rod device?
Four, plus a plain mechanical version. EA is a hardwired electric alarm, EB is an electric alarm with battery, EE is delayed egress, and EX is a request-to-exit signal switch. EB suits an opening with no power run to the door. EX is the one to pick when the device just needs to tell an access control panel that someone pushed the bar, rather than sound locally.
13) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike option on the Detex V50?
The 96 package gives you a surface non-roller top strike with a standard bottom strike. 96B swaps the bottom for a dust proof strike, which is a spring-loaded floor strike that stays sealed until the bottom bolt drops into it. Pick 96B on exterior openings or anywhere grit, sand, and water collect at the threshold and would otherwise pack the floor pocket.
14) I only need exit-only panic hardware on a pair of doors, no outside key access. Is there a cheaper option than the Detex V5003P?
If nobody needs to get back in through that opening, the key-retracts-latch pull trim on the V5003P is trim you are paying for and not using. Exit-only surface vertical rod devices ZenSupply carries include the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84, the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch device. The Cal-Royal 9860 is also exit only but Grade 2, so step down only where traffic is light.
15) Is the Detex Value Series exit device tough enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is a BHMA Grade 1 commercial device, which is the top of the three ANSI/BHMA grades for exit hardware and the level specified for high-traffic institutional openings. Construction is ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces, and the end cap is angled to push abuse away from the device. Latch components are stainless steel.
16) What is a simpler Grade 1 vertical rod device to standardize on for 36 by 84 doors instead of the Detex V5003P/V5103P?
For a fixed 36 by 84 opening with no options to configure, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device in stainless steel finish, non fire rated, and the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 by 84 door, also non fire rated. The Detex V5003P/V5103P is the choice when you need to select dogging type, strike type, finish in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum, or an electrified option such as delayed egress or a request to exit switch.
17) Which vertical rod exit device should I use on a 48 inch wide door?
The Detex V5003P/V5103P is offered in a 48 inch size as well as 36 inch, with key retracts latch pull trim and Grade 1 rating. Among other makers, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered in a 48 by 84 version, and the Marks M9900F-VR fire rated version is also offered at 48 by 84; both are exit only. Choose on whether the opening needs keyed outside entry, which the Detex trim provides, or egress only.
18) How hard is the Detex V50 to install if I am retrofitting an existing door?
Installation uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of paper templates, which sets the hole locations off the device itself and keeps door prep to a minimum. Detex publishes door prep templates, full installation instructions, and a parts list for the V50/V51, so you can check the prep against the existing holes before you pull the old device off.
19) Does the Detex V50 come in black to match dark storefront doors?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. The 711 is the one for dark anodized or bronze-toned entrances. If you are standardizing a building, both finishes are available across the size and rod configuration range, so a fleet of openings can be matched with one finish call.
