Detex V5003PN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V50 vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors with no mullion?
That's exactly what the V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod device is built for. It latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center strike, so a pair of doors can be secured without a removable mullion between them. 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. If you want a mullion in the opening instead, you'd be looking at rim devices, not this one.
2) Does the Detex V5003PN come as a top-rod-only device, or do I have to take the bottom rod?
Both are offered. You can order the V50/V51 as a top and bottom rod device, or as a top rod only device. Top rod only keeps the bottom of the door clear, which installers usually prefer where a bottom strike in the floor would collect dirt or trip a cart. Top and bottom gives you the drop bolt into the floor strike for tighter control of the door.
3) Will this Detex fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V50/V51 is a wide stile device, so it needs the stile width a wide stile rail requires and it is not the part for a narrow stile aluminum storefront. Standard and narrow stile pull trim options exist for the outside trim, but the device rail itself stays wide stile. For a narrow stile glass door, specify a narrow stile exit device instead.
4) Is there a fire rated version of the Detex V50 Value Series, and can I dog it?
Fire rated, hurricane, hurricane plus fire rated, and non-rated configurations are all offered. Dogging choices are hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Keep in mind that mechanical dogging is not permitted on a fire door assembly, so a fire rated opening should be ordered as less/no dogging. Save hex or cylinder dogging for non-rated doors where you want the latch held retracted during business hours.
5) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V5003PN?
Yes. Handing is a required selection, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, because the device is handed as built. It is field reversible, so a device that arrives the wrong hand can be converted on the job rather than returned, but you should still order to the actual swing of the opening.
6) What door widths and heights does the Detex V50 vertical rod device cover, including tall doors?
Rail sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are ordered by door height in 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch. The 96 and 120 inch options are what you specify for tall openings so you are not trying to splice rods in the field. The rail is also field sizable, so a 36 inch rail can be cut down for a narrower door.
7) Can I get a Detex V50 with an alarm or delayed egress built in?
Four electrified options are offered alongside a plain mechanical version: 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 you have no power at the door and still want local alarm on unauthorized use. EX is the signal back to an access control panel, not an alarm. EE delayed egress is code-restricted by occupancy, so confirm your authority having jurisdiction permits it on that opening.
8) I just need exit-only vertical rod hardware with no outside trim. Is this the right Detex?
Not the closest fit. The V5003PN/V5103PN is configured with key retracts latch pull trim, meaning it includes outside key-operated pull hardware. For a true exit-only opening with nothing on the outside, look at an exit-only vertical rod device such as the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 or 48 x 84, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 wide stile device, or the Cal-Royal 9860. If the opening is fire rated and exit only, the Marks USA M9900FVR is the fire rated version.
9) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex V5003PN/V5103PN?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in a 3 ft size, from the 88 Series, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is also Grade 1 and built for wide stile applications, and comes in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. The difference that matters on the order is function: the Detex V5003PN/V5103PN is supplied with key retracts latch pull trim, so the outside can be opened with a key, while the 8827-3FT is catalogued without that trim function.
10) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if my double door is on a rated opening?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series can be ordered in a Fire Rated configuration, and also in Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated. Fire rated vertical rod alternatives include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 x 84 and MARM9900F-VR at 48 x 84, both fire rated and exit only.
11) Which vertical rod exit device should I use for a 120 inch tall door or a hurricane-rated opening?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is the one to specify there. It can be ordered for 84, 96, or 120 inch door heights and in Hurricane or Hurricane and Fire Rated configurations. The comparable Grade 1 vertical rod devices from Delaney (DLY-692301, DLY-8100-3684, DLY-694300), Marks USA (M9900VR, MAR-M9900FVR-36X84) and Imperial USA (ED-VR531) are catalogued for 36 x 84 or 48 x 84 doors, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a 3 ft device.
12) What does the Key Retracts Latch function on the V5003PN pull trim actually do?
Turning the key in the outside pull trim retracts the latch so you can pull the door open from outside; let the key go and the device relatches. It is not a fixed dogging feature and it is not free ingress, so the door stays secured from the outside until someone with a key uses it. Egress from the inside is always free through the push rail.
13) Which strike option should I pick for a Detex V50 with a bottom rod?
Two strike packages are offered. The 96 package gives you a surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust-proof bottom strike. The 96B swaps that bottom strike for a dust proof strike, which is the one to choose on exterior openings or anywhere grit, sand, or floor washing would pack the floor strike and stop the drop bolt from seating. If you order a top-rod-only device the bottom strike choice is moot.
14) Is a Grade 2 vertical rod device good enough, or do I need Grade 1 for a school corridor?
For high-traffic institutional openings like school corridors, specify Grade 1, which is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is Grade 1 and rated commercial. Grade 2 options exist in the category, such as the Cal-Royal 9860, and those suit lighter-use doors, but they are not the pick for a corridor that sees constant use.
15) Does the Detex V50 need a paper template to install, and where do I get the instructions?
No paper template. Detex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of one, which is what keeps the top strike and floor strike lined up with the rods on the first try. Door prep is also reduced compared with a full-template device. Detex publishes installation instructions and a parts list as PDFs, plus V50 door prep templates and an installation video on their support site.
16) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex V5003PN/V5103PN?
Not a like-for-like swap. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device and is catalogued as exit only, so there is no outside key function. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is Grade 1 and is supplied as key retracts latch pull trim. If the spec on the drawing calls for Grade 1 panic hardware with keyed outside access, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
17) I need a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a standard 36 x 84 non-rated door. What are my options?
Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod devices sized for a 36 x 84 door include the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) in stainless steel finish, the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684), and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a wide stile exit only device in 36 inch. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series covers the same opening with a 36 inch device at 84 inch door height, ordered Non-Rated, and adds keyed outside access through its pull trim function.
18) My opening needs a non-handed vertical rod device. Is the Detex V50/V51 handed?
The Detex V5003PN/V5103PN is ordered by handing, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though the device itself is field reversible. If you would rather stock a single non-handed unit, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 x 84 and the fire rated M9900FVR at 36 x 84 are both catalogued as non-handed exit only vertical rod devices.
19) For a 48 inch wide double door leaf, what vertical rod devices fit besides the Detex?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series offers a 48 inch size. Comparable 48 inch vertical rod devices include the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84, a 48 x 84 exit only panic device, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR, a 48 x 84 fire rated exit only panic device.
20) What finishes does the Detex V50 Value Series come in, and will it match my other doors?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Those are the standard aluminum storefront finishes, so 628 lines up with clear anodized frames and 711 with dark anodized or painted black frames. The rail is a ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS end trim, and the end cap is angled to push cart and door damage away from the device.
