Detex V5009BNxNS-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Value Series V50xNS vertical rod device work on a pair of aluminum storefront doors with no mullion?
That's exactly what it's built for. The V50xNS/V51xNS is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device intended for narrow stile double doors without a mullion. Because it latches at the head and the sill rather than into a center post, the pair stays clear when both leaves are open. If your doors are wide stile hollow metal or wood, look at a wide stile device such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT instead.
2) Does the Detex V5009BNxNS lever trim stay locked when the key is removed?
Yes. The outside lever trim is active by key only, and locks again the moment the key comes out. So the lever will not retract the latch for anyone without a key, while the push rail always gives free egress from the inside. Locksmiths swapping trim or rekeying can do it without pulling the device off the door.
3) Will the Detex Value Series narrow stile exit device latch into my existing strikes?
Check what's in the head and threshold first. The device uses 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 needs a matching top strike and a floor strike for that drop bolt. Two strike packages are offered: the 96 surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust-proof bottom strike, or 96B, which substitutes a dust proof bottom strike. Pick 96B where the sill collects grit or water.
4) Do I need to order the Detex V50 narrow stile device handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
You pick a hand on the order, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, but the device is field reversible, so a hand can be changed on site if the opening turns out to be the other way. Exit devices are almost always reverse bevel, since the door swings out of the space.
5) Can I get a Detex V50 vertical rod device without a bottom rod?
Yes. The Vertical Rod choice is top and bottom rod, or top rod only. Top rod only (less bottom rod) keeps the sill clear, which is what most property managers want where carts, snow, or mopping keep chewing up a bottom strike. Full top and bottom gives two-point latching and is the stronger security setup.
6) What door heights and widths does the Detex narrow stile vertical rod device cover?
Rail sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch to suit the door width, and rod lengths are built for 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch door heights. Measure the leaf height before ordering; a 96 inch or 120 inch storefront door needs the matching long rod set, not a field-cut 84 inch kit.
7) Can I get alarm or delayed egress built into the Detex Value Series exit device?
Yes, electrified options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, or None. There is also an EE delayed egress version. EB suits a back door with no power run to it; EX is what an integrator specifies to tie the device into an access control panel so the exit doesn't trip the alarm.
8) I only need exit-only panic hardware with no outside trim. Is this the right Detex device?
No. This configuration comes with keyed lever trim on the outside, active by key and locked when the key is removed. If you want no outside operation at all, an exit-only device is the cheaper pick, such as the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 x 84 or the M9900VR 48 x 84, or the fire rated M9900FVR. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is also exit only, but it's a wide stile device and won't fit narrow stile storefront.
9) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if the Detex Value Series is not the right fit?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is offered in both fire rated and non-rated configurations. Other fire rated vertical rod options are the Delaney F9100 Series 694300, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches or the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both fire rated and exit only. On a fire door, mechanical dogging is not permitted, so a fire rated Detex should be ordered less dogging.
10) What is a wide stile alternative to the Detex V50xNS/V51xNS vertical rod exit device?
The Detex V5009BNxNS/V5109BNxNS is built for narrow stile doors. For a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series listed as wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 36 inch surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series, also wide stile. Confirm the stile width on the door before ordering either, since a wide stile chassis will not fit a narrow stile rail.
11) If I do not need key-operated lever trim on the outside, is there a simpler vertical rod device?
Yes. The Detex V5009BNxNS/V5109BNxNS is configured for lever trim active by key and locked when the key is removed, so it is the choice when the door has to be opened from outside. Where the door only needs to be an egress point, exit-only vertical rod devices with no outside trim include the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900VR 48 by 84 inch version, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Cal-Royal 9860.
12) What dogging choices come on the Detex V50xNS exit device, and which should I pick?
Three: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard low-cost way to hold the rail down during business hours. Cylinder dogging lets staff dog and undog with a keyed cylinder, which is what most schools and offices prefer so a hex wrench isn't floating around. Less/no dogging is the choice for fire rated openings.
13) Is the Detex Value Series exit device Grade 1, and how does it compare to other vertical rod devices?
It carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating, the top commercial durability class. Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT are also Grade 1, though the 8827 is a wide stile device. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2, so for a high traffic institutional opening it sits a tier below.
14) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 an equivalent substitute for the Detex V5009BNxNS?
They are not interchangeable. The Detex V5009BNxNS/V5109BNxNS is a Grade 1 narrow stile device with key-operated lever trim and fire rated or non-rated configurations. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, exit only, and not fire rated. If the specification calls for Grade 1, keyed outside access, or a fire label, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
15) What Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod devices compare to the Detex V50xNS on a 36 by 84 inch door?
The Detex V5009BNxNS/V5109BNxNS covers 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights with 36 and 48 inch rails. For a single 36 by 84 inch non-rated opening, Delaney offers the 9100 Series 692301, a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device in stainless steel finish, and the 8100 Series 8100-3684, a Grade 1 vertical rod device sized for the same door. Both are non-rated, so check the door label before substituting.
16) Which vertical rod exit devices are non-handed, and does the Detex Value Series need a hand specified?
The Detex V5009BNxNS/V5109BNxNS is handed and field reversible, and it is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse. The Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the fire rated M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches are non-handed, which removes handing from the order entirely. That matters for stocking a shelf of spares versus specifying one opening.
17) If I need a delayed egress or alarmed exit device, do any of the comparable vertical rod devices offer it?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is the one to specify for that. It is offered with EE delayed egress, EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, and EX request to exit signal switch. The comparable vertical rod devices from Von Duprin, Delaney, Marks USA, Imperial USA and Cal-Royal listed here are mechanical vertical rod devices, so an alarmed or delayed egress requirement points back to the Detex configuration.
18) What finishes does the Detex narrow stile vertical rod device come in, and will it match my storefront?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. Those are the two colors most aluminum storefront is finished in, so matching across a building is usually straightforward. The rail is a ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS ends.
19) How hard is the Detex V50 narrow stile device to install, and are templates available?
It uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which is what keeps the top strike and the floor strike lined up with the rods on a narrow stile leaf. Detex publishes installation instructions and a parts list as PDFs, plus door prep templates and an installation video.
