Detex V5009D2W-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a surface vertical rod exit device work on a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is exactly the application for the Detex V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod device. It latches at the head and at the threshold, using a 3/4 inch stainless deadlocking top latch bolt and a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long bottom drop bolt, so each leaf secures into the frame and the sill rather than into a center mullion. If you were instead going to add a removable mullion, a rim device would be the usual choice.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V5009D2W vertical rod device?
Yes. The V5009D2W/V5109D2W is ordered either Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, since an out-swinging exit door is always a reverse bevel. It is handed but field reversible, so if the wrong hand arrives it can be changed on site rather than returned.
3) What does "Lever Trim Active by Key, Locked When Key Removed" mean on this Detex device?
Outside entry through the lever is controlled by the cylinder: turn the key and the lever retracts the latch, remove the key and the lever goes dead. It is the function you want on a rear service or tenant door where staff come and go with a key but the public cannot pull the door open. Egress from inside is always free through the push rail. Trims can be rekeyed or swapped without pulling the device off the door.
4) Is the Detex V50/V51 Value Series available fire rated?
Fire rated, non-rated, hurricane, and hurricane plus fire rated builds are all offered, so the rating is a choice you make when you order. On a fire rated opening, order the fire rated build and specify a device without mechanical dogging, since dogging that holds the latches retracted is not permitted on a fire door.
5) What door widths and heights does this Detex vertical rod device cover?
Rail lengths are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod sets are built for 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch door heights. The rail is field sizable, so a 36 inch device can be cut down for a narrower leaf. Match the rod length to your actual door height at time of order, since that is not something you shorten casually in the field.
6) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod?
Two configurations are offered: top and bottom rod, or top rod only. Top and bottom gives you the full two point latch, top plus the 5-5/8 inch drop bolt into the floor strike. Top rod only (commonly called less bottom rod) avoids a floor strike altogether, which is the choice where the threshold gets mopped, iced over, or where a floor strike would be a trip hazard or collect debris.
7) Will this Detex exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V5009D2W/V5109D2W is a wide stile device, sized for hollow metal, wood, and wide stile aluminum doors. On a narrow stile glass storefront leaf the rail chassis will not land on the stile. Narrow stile pull trims are offered on the outside of the door, but that does not change the device itself into a narrow stile chassis.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device to the Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match on construction class: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 1, in the 88 Series, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors and supplied in a 3 ft width. The Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W is also Grade 1 and wide stile, and differs in that it is ordered with lever trim active by key and locked when the key is removed, so the outside lever gives controlled entry. The 8827-3FT is listed non-fire-rated, while the Detex can be ordered fire rated, hurricane, hurricane and fire rated, or non-rated.
9) If I do not need outside key entry, what vertical rod device can I use instead of the Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W?
Go to an exit only vertical rod device. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device, exit only and non-handed, and the M9900VR-48X84 covers a 48 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. Each of those pushes to egress with no outside trim, whereas the Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W is built around lever trim that is active by key and locked when the key is removed.
10) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 opening - what are my options besides the Detex V50/V51?
The Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W can be ordered in a fire rated configuration at 36 inch size and 84 inch door height. Fire rated alternatives include the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inch, which is fire rated and exit only, non-handed. For a 48 inch fire rated leaf, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers 48 by 84 inch, exit only.
11) I need alarm or delayed egress on a vertical rod device - do any of the comparable devices do that?
The Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W is the one to specify for that. It is ordered with electrified options including EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch, alongside a non-electrified configuration. The Delaney, Marks USA, Imperial USA, Cal-Royal, and Von Duprin vertical rod devices in the same class are catalogued as mechanical devices in exit only or standard panic function, so an alarm or delayed egress requirement points you back to the Detex.
12) Which strike option should I pick, 96 or 96B?
Strike is a required selection. The 96 set is a surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust-proof bottom strike. The 96B substitutes a dust proof bottom strike, which is the one to use on exterior or dusty openings where grit would otherwise pack the floor strike and keep the drop bolt from seating.
13) Can I get this Detex device with a delayed egress or alarm option?
Yes, and it is chosen at order time. Options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request-to-exit signal switch, or none. EB suits a door with no power run to it. EE delayed egress is the one that holds the door for a timed period, and it needs to be coordinated with your fire alarm and local code authority. EX just reports the push, it does not control the lock.
14) What dogging choices are there, and do I need it?
Hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Dogging holds the push rail depressed so the door pushes free during business hours, which saves wear on the latch. Hex is set with an Allen wrench, cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog it. Order less/no dogging on a fire rated opening.
15) Is this Detex device Grade 1, and how does it compare to a Von Duprin 8827?
The V50/V51 Value Series is Grade 1 wide stile, the same class and stile type as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile surface vertical rod device, which we list for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 3 foot length. The difference in practice is scope of options: the Detex is ordered with handing, rod configuration, strike type, dogging, rating and electrified alarm or delayed egress choices, where the 8827-3FT is a fixed 3 foot wide stile build.
16) I only need free egress with no outside key entry. Is there a cheaper option than this Detex?
If nobody needs to key in from outside, you do not need the keyed lever trim function at all. Exit-only vertical rod devices we carry include the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84, the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR for a rated opening, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch exit-only device. Those have no outside trim, so re-entry is only from the other leaf or another door.
17) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W?
They are both surface vertical rod exit devices, but they are not equivalents. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 device in exit only function with no fire rating, so it cannot carry a fire door assembly and gives no outside key entry. The Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W is Grade 1 and is ordered with lever trim active by key, locked when the key is removed, and can be specified fire rated. If a drawing calls Grade 1 with keyed outside trim, the 9860 will not answer it.
18) Which vertical rod exit devices are non-handed, and does handing matter on the Detex V50/V51?
The Detex V5009D2W/V5109D2W is ordered by handing - right hand reverse or left hand reverse - because the keyed lever trim has to face the correct way. If you want to stock one part for either leaf, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device described as non-handed, and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inch is also non-handed. Both of those are exit only, so they trade the outside lever for the non-handed convenience.
19) What finishes does the Detex V50/V51 come in?
Two anodized aluminum finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. For a property manager standardizing a building, 628 is the usual match for clear-anodized storefront and 711 for dark bronze or black frames.
20) How hard is this Detex device to install, and are templates provided?
Installation uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template, which is the main reason crews pick this device for volume work. Detex publishes full installation instructions and a parts list, both of which we host, plus V50 door prep templates and an installation video. Prep steps are the standard sequence: verify thickness, stile width and handing, mark from the locator, drill, mount, then adjust the top latch and bottom bolt for clean latching.
21) Will this hold up on a high traffic door that gets hit by carts?
Built for commercial duty: ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, impact resistant ABS, anodized surfaces, and an angled end cap that deflects impact away from the device rather than into it. That end cap detail matters on loading dock and back-of-house doors where carts and hand trucks clip the end of the rail.
