Detex V5008BN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V50 vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is exactly what it is for. The V50/V51 Value Series is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches into a top strike at the head and, in the top-and-bottom configuration, a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long bottom drop bolt at the floor. Because it latches vertically rather than into the edge of the opposite leaf, it secures double doors with no center mullion. If your opening is a single door in a frame, a rim device with a strike on the frame stop is the simpler choice.
2) Do I need to order the Detex V5008BN handed, or is it reversible in the field?
Handing is specified at order: the choices are Right Hand Reverse and Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings that apply to an outswinging door with an exit device. The device itself is handed but field reversible and field sizable, so a wrong-handed unit on site can be corrected rather than returned.
3) What sizes and door heights does the Detex V50/V51 exit device cover?
Device length comes in 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod length is ordered to door height at 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch. The 120 inch option is what you want on tall entrance leaves where a standard 84 inch rod will not reach the head. Devices are also field sizable, so a 36 inch rail can be cut down for a narrower leaf.
4) Is the Detex V50 a wide stile device, and will it fit an aluminum storefront door?
It is a wide stile device. Wide stile rails need a door stile deep enough to take the full rail and mounting plate, so they suit hollow metal and wood commercial leaves rather than narrow stile aluminum storefront. Narrow stile pull trim is offered for the outside, but the device body itself is wide stile. For a narrow stile glass front leaf, look at a narrow stile rim or vertical rod device instead.
5) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod on this Detex device?
Top and bottom rod gives you two latching points, the 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless top latch bolt plus the 5-5/8 inch bottom drop bolt, which is the more secure setup. Top rod only (functionally a less-bottom-rod arrangement) keeps the floor clear, which is what you want where carpet, uneven slab, or a drain makes a bottom strike unreliable, and it eliminates the trip point at the threshold. Both are offered on the V50/V51.
6) How does the Detex V50 compare with a Von Duprin 8827 or a Cal-Royal 9860 vertical rod device?
All three are surface vertical rod devices, but they differ in what they do. The Detex V50/V51 is Grade 1 wide stile and carries an outside trim function (key locks/unlocks lever), so it is for openings that need keyed outside access. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors at 3 ft. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 and exit only, meaning no outside trim, which suits a stair or rear door where nobody comes in. If your spec calls Grade 1, the 9860 will not meet it.
7) I need a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door. What are my choices?
The Detex V50/V51 can be ordered Fire Rated at 36 inch device length with an 84 inch door height rod, with Grade 1 construction and a keyed outside lever. If you only need exit-only hardware with no outside trim, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device built for a 36 x 84 door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR covers the same 36 x 84 fire rated exit-only application non-handed.
8) What fire rated alternatives are there to the Detex V50/V51 vertical rod device?
The Detex V5008BN/V5108BN can be ordered in a Fire Rated configuration, as well as Non-Rated, Hurricane, and Hurricane and Fire Rated. If you need a fire rated device from another maker, the Marks USA M9900FVR covers a 36 inch by 84 inch door and the MARM9900F-VR covers 48 inch by 84 inch, both exit only. 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.
9) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex V5008BN/V5108BN?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the closest peer: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in the 88 Series, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors and sized at 3 ft. The Detex V5008BN/V5108BN is also Grade 1 wide stile, and its key locks/unlocks lever function means the outside lever is controlled by a cylinder rather than being exit only. Detex offers it in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes for 84, 96, and 120 inch door heights.
10) If the opening does not need outside key control, what vertical rod device can be used instead of the Detex V5008BN/V5108BN?
Use an exit only vertical rod device. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device, exit only and non-handed, and the M9900VR-48X84 covers a 48 inch by 84 inch door in the same exit only function. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, also exit only. The Detex V5008BN/V5108BN instead carries a key locks/unlocks lever function and is ordered handed as right hand reverse or left hand reverse.
11) Does the key locks/unlocks lever function mean the door can be left in a passage state?
Yes. With the Key Locks/Unlocks Lever trim, a key turn on the outside leaves the lever in an unlocked (passage) condition until it is keyed back to locked, so the door can be left open for business hours without holding the pushpad down. Egress is always free from the inside regardless of the outside state.
12) Which bottom strike should I pick for an exterior door with the Detex V50?
Two strike packages are offered: the 96, a surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust proof bottom strike, and the 96B, which substitutes a dust proof bottom strike. On exterior openings, garages, warehouses, or anywhere grit and water collect at the threshold, the 96B dust proof bottom strike is the one that keeps the drop bolt pocket clear.
13) What electrified options can I add to the Detex V50/V51 exit device?
Four are available: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request-to-exit signal switch. EB is the one to use where there is no power at the door, since it runs on battery. EX gives the access control panel a signal that someone pushed out, and EE is for controlled-egress openings that must hold for the code-permitted delay. You can also order the device with no electrified option.
14) Is there a simpler vertical rod option if I do not need a keyed lever on the outside?
Yes. The Detex V50/V51 is configured with a Key Locks/Unlocks Lever trim, which adds cost and a cylinder you have to key. For a door nobody enters through, exit-only devices skip the trim entirely: the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 or 48 x 84, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 (Grade 1, wide stile, 36 inch), or the Delaney 8100 Series for a 36 x 84 opening. None of those give you outside key access, so do not use one on a door that also has to be an entrance.
15) Will the existing strikes on my door frame work, or do I have to cut new prep for the Detex V50?
Strikes ship with the device, either the 96 set or the 96B with the dust proof bottom strike, and Detex includes a patented mounting plate and strike locator that sets their position instead of a paper template. Door prep is reduced compared with a conventional vertical rod install, but it is still a new prep, not a drop-in over another maker's pattern. Door templates and installation instructions are published by Detex for the V50 so you can check the prep against your leaf before you cut.
16) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex V5008BN/V5108BN?
Not a direct one. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device that is Grade 2 and not fire rated, and its function is exit only. The Detex V5008BN/V5108BN is Grade 1, carries a key locks/unlocks lever function for outside trim control, and can be ordered fire rated. If a job specifies Grade 1 or a fire rated opening with outside key access, the 9860 will not meet it.
17) Which vertical rod device should I look at if I need a hurricane rated or electrified exit device?
The Detex V5008BN/V5108BN is the one to look at in this group: it can be ordered Hurricane or Hurricane and Fire Rated, and with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch. The Delaney 9100 (DLY-692301), Delaney 8100 (DLY-8100-3684), and Von Duprin 8827-3FT are Grade 1 vertical rod devices without those options in their specs.
18) What is the difference between the Delaney 9100 and 8100 vertical rod devices and the Detex V50/V51?
The Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in a stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 inch by 84 inch opening; neither is fire rated. The Detex V5008BN/V5108BN is also Grade 1 but is sold across 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes for 84, 96, and 120 inch door heights, in 628 brushed aluminum or 711 black aluminum, and can be specified as a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device.
19) Which of these vertical rod devices is non-handed?
The Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed vertical rod panic device, as is the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR for a 36 inch by 84 inch door. The Detex V5008BN/V5108BN is handed, field reversible and field sizable, and is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. If you are stocking one device for openings of either hand without reversing work, the non-handed Marks devices cover that.
20) What finishes does the Detex Value Series vertical rod device come in?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Both are anodized surfaces over the ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, so if you are standardizing a building on dark hardware the 711 will match across openings without field painting.
21) How well does this Detex device hold up in a high traffic school or apartment entry?
It is a Grade 1 commercial device with stainless steel latch components, a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, impact resistant ABS, and an angled end cap that deflects cart and door-stop impact away from the rail. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware, so it is the right level for school corridors, multi-tenant residential entries, and healthcare traffic.
