Detex V5009BN-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 it's for. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the sill, using a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking top latch bolt and a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long bottom drop bolt, so it holds a double door pair without a center mullion. If your opening is a single door in a frame with a strike jamb, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V50/V51 exit device?
Yes. The V50/V51 is handed, offered as Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, though the device is field reversible if you end up with the wrong hand on site. Exit devices are always reverse-bevel hands because the door swings out.
3) Can I get the Detex V50 for a 10 foot tall door?
Yes. Rod lengths are offered for 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch door heights, so a 10 foot leaf is covered. Device rail lengths are 36 inch and 48 inch, and the design is field sizable, so you trim the rail to the actual door width.
4) Can I order a Detex V50 with the top latch only and no bottom rod?
Yes. Choose between a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device. Top rod only eliminates the bottom drop bolt and the floor strike, which is the usual pick where debris, carpet or drainage fouls a bottom strike. On a fire rated pair, confirm the top rod only arrangement is acceptable for your labeled opening before you commit.
5) Is the Detex V50/V51 available fire rated, and can I get it hurricane rated?
Both. The rating choices are Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, and Hurricane and Fire Rated, so one series covers a labeled stair pair and a coastal impact opening. Dogging note: a fire rated device cannot be mechanically dogged, so pair fire rated selections with the less/no dogging option.
6) How does the key control lever trim on the V5009BN work?
The function is lever trim active by key, locked when the key is removed. Turn the key and the outside lever retracts the latch for entry; pull the key and the lever goes dead, so the opening is exit only from outside until keyed again. Free egress from the inside push rail is always there. Trim can also be changed or rekeyed without pulling the device off the door.
7) Will the Detex V50 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V50/V51 is a wide stile device, so it needs the rail and mounting area of a wide stile hollow metal or wood door. On a narrow stile aluminum glass door you need a narrow stile device instead.
8) What electrified options can I get on the Detex V50/V51, and do I need a delayed egress version?
Four electrified builds plus a plain mechanical one: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or None. EB is the pick where there's no power at the door, since it runs on battery. EX just reports the push to an access control panel. EE holds the door for the code-permitted delay after someone pushes, and it is the only one of the four that actually restricts egress, so use it only where your AHJ has approved delayed egress for that occupancy.
9) I only need free egress with no outside entry on a pair of doors - is there a simpler vertical rod device than the Detex V50/V51 with key lever trim?
Yes. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is configured for lever trim active by key and locked when the key is removed, which is more device than an egress-only opening needs. For exit only, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series listed as exit only, and the Marks USA M9900VR is an exit only vertical rod panic device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, non-handed. The Cal-Royal 9860 is another surface vertical rod exit only device, rated Grade 2 heavy duty.
10) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex V5009BN/V5109BN from another maker?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match in kind: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in the 88 Series, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 3 ft width. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is also Grade 1 wide stile and covers 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes. The difference that matters when specifying is function: the Detex is supplied with lever trim active by key and locked when the key is removed, so it gives keyed outside entry, while the 8827-3FT is the device itself and outside access depends on the trim specified with it.
11) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if the Detex V50/V51 configuration I need is not?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is offered in non-rated, fire rated, hurricane, and hurricane plus fire rated configurations, so a fire rated build is available within the series. If you are comparing fire rated alternatives, the Delaney F9100 Series device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door is Grade 1 and fire rated in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR in 36 inch by 84 inch and the M9900F-VR in 48 inch by 84 inch, both fire rated and exit only.
12) I need delayed egress or a request to exit signal on a pair of doors - do any of the comparable vertical rod devices cover that?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is the one to specify for that. It is ordered with electrified options including EE delayed egress, EX request to exit signal switch, EA hardwired electric alarm, and EB electric alarm with battery. The comparable vertical rod devices from Von Duprin, Delaney, Imperial USA, Marks USA, and Cal-Royal are catalogued as mechanical devices, with the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Delaney 9100 and 8100, and Imperial ED-VR531 all listed as Grade 1 mechanical vertical rod devices.
13) Which dogging option should I pick on the Detex V50?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex dogging is held down with an allen key and is the cheapest way to hold the latch retracted during business hours. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder, which is what most schools and institutions want so staff can't dog the door with a hardware-store hex wrench. Less/no dogging is the choice for a fire rated leaf.
14) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike option on the Detex V50?
The 96 package is a surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust proof bottom strike. 96B swaps the bottom for a dust proof strike, which has a spring-loaded plug that keeps grit out of the floor mortise. Specify 96B on exterior openings, loading areas, or anywhere the sill sees sand and dirt.
15) Is the Detex V50 rated for heavy public traffic in a school or hospital?
It's a Grade 1 commercial device, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA duty level for panic hardware and what institutional specs normally call for. Construction is a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with impact-resistant ABS and anodized surfaces, and the angled end cap pushes cart and door-stop impact away from the mechanism. That combination is aimed at high-traffic openings in schools, healthcare, retail and government buildings.
16) The Detex V50/V51 is handed - what vertical rod device can I order without confirming handing?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is ordered by door handing, with right hand reverse and left hand reverse choices, though the device is field reversible. If you would rather not commit to a hand at order time, the Marks USA M9900VR is a vertical rod panic exit device listed as non-handed for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR 36 inch by 84 inch is also non-handed. Both are exit only, so they do not cover the keyed outside lever function the Detex provides.
17) What finishes does the Detex V50 Value Series come in?
Two anodized aluminum finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the standard match for clear anodized storefront and most existing aluminum exit hardware; 711 matches dark bronze/black door packages.
18) Does the Detex V50 need a paper template for door prep?
No. The V50/V51 ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that replaces paper templates, and door prep is reduced compared with conventional vertical rod devices. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list PDF if you want to review the prep before the door is ordered.
