Detex V5014BNxNS-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V50xNS vertical rod device work on aluminum narrow stile double doors without a mullion?
That is exactly the application. The Detex Value Series V5014BNxNS/V5114BNxNS is built for narrow stile double doors with no mullion, latching at the head with a 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless top latch bolt and at the floor with a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long bottom drop bolt. Because it secures top and bottom on each leaf, you do not need a removable mullion the way you would with a pair of rim devices.
2) Do I have to order this Detex exit device left hand or right hand?
Handing is specified on the order, and the choices are Right Hand Reverse and Left Hand Reverse. The device is handed but field reversible, so if the wrong hand shows up on site it can be switched over rather than returned.
3) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for narrow stile doors. Can I get this Detex in a fire rated version?
Yes, the V50xNS/V51xNS Series is ordered either Fire Rated or Non-Rated. On a fire rated opening you also want the top rod only configuration where the drawing calls for it, since fire exit hardware cannot use mechanical dogging. Order Less/No dogging for fire rated doors and reserve hex or cylinder dogging for non-rated openings.
4) Can I get outside lever trim that stays unlocked with this Detex device?
Yes. The V5014BNxNS/V5114BNxNS is built with the outside lever always active function, so the exterior lever retracts the latch at all times and the door is push-pull from both sides. If you need the outside lever to lock, that is a different function of the Value Series, not this model. Trim on this device is modular, so it can be changed out or rekeyed without pulling the device off the door.
5) Can this Detex device do delayed egress or sound a local alarm on the door?
Yes, electrified options are ordered with the device: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch. EB suits a door with no power nearby, EX is the one to pick when you only need a dry contact back to an access control panel, and EE is the 15 second delay style used where the authority having jurisdiction permits it. If you need none of it, order the None option.
6) My existing exit device is wide stile. Can I use this narrow stile Detex, or do I need something else?
Do not force a narrow stile device onto a wide stile hollow metal or wood door prep; the rail and mounting footprint are different. The Detex Value Series here is narrow stile only. For a wide stile surface vertical rod opening, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device at 36 inches.
7) I only need exit-only vertical rod hardware with no outside trim. What should I use instead of the Detex V50xNS?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is configured with an outside lever that is always active, which means outside trim is part of the opening. If you want no outside operation at all, the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 x 84 and the M9900VR 48 x 84 are exit only vertical rod panic devices, and the Cal-Royal 9860 is also an exit only surface vertical rod device. For a fire rated exit only door, Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 x 84 and the M9900F-VR at 48 x 84.
8) What is the difference between the Detex V50xNS/V51xNS narrow stile vertical rod device and the Von Duprin 8827?
Both are Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices. The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is built for narrow stile doors and is offered with an outside lever that is always active, so the opening can be used as a normal entrance from the pull side. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile device in the 88 Series, 3 ft, prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door is an aluminum narrow stile storefront, the wide stile 8827 rail will not fit the stile; if it is a 1-3/4 inch wide stile door, the 8827 is the match.
9) My spec calls for Grade 1 but I am looking at the Cal-Royal 9860. Does it meet the same rating as the Detex V50xNS?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty, ADA compliant surface vertical rod device rated Grade 2 and non-fire-rated, in an exit only function. The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is BHMA Grade 1 and can be ordered fire rated, so on a Grade 1 specification or a fire rated opening the Detex is the device that answers the spec.
10) What is the difference between the top and bottom rod version and the top rod only version?
The top and bottom rod device latches into the frame head and into the floor strike, giving two points of security per leaf. The top rod only version latches at the head only, which keeps the bottom of the door clear, avoids a floor strike in wet or dirty thresholds, and is common on fire doors and on openings where a floor bolt would be a trip or sweep problem. Both are orderable configurations of the Value Series narrow stile device.
11) Which dogging option should I pick, hex or cylinder?
Hex dogging is held down with an allen key, which is fine for a back of house or maintenance-only door. Cylinder dogging uses a keyed cylinder so only a keyholder can hold the device dogged, which is what most schools and retail spaces want for daytime free access. Less/No dogging is the choice for fire rated openings. One of the three has to be selected on the order.
12) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike options?
Both are required selections on the order. The 96 gives a surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust proof bottom strike. The 96B swaps the bottom strike for a dust proof strike, which is the one to specify where the floor gets swept, mopped, sanded or takes grit, since it keeps debris out of the bottom bolt hole and keeps the drop bolt seating properly.
13) Is this Detex exit device rated for high traffic commercial openings?
It carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating and is a commercial device, with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces. Grade 1 is the top of the three BHMA grades and is what most schools, hospitals and municipal specs call for on exit hardware.
14) Will the 3/4 inch top latch bolt on this Detex hold in my existing head strike?
The top bolt is a stainless deadlocking latch with a 3/4 inch throw, and it is designed to engage the Detex surface top strike supplied with the device, either the 96 or the 96B package. Because the strike is surface applied and located with the included strike locator, plan on using the new strike rather than trying to catch an existing one; a 3/4 inch bolt needs the correct engagement depth to deadlock.
15) What Grade 1 vertical rod alternatives are there for a standard 36 by 84 door?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS covers 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes against 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights, in narrow stile. On wide or standard stile doors of the same size, Grade 1 alternatives include the Delaney 9100 Series 692301 for a 36 x 84 door in stainless steel, the Delaney 8100 Series 8100-3684 for a 36 x 84 door, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT. For a fire rated 36 x 84 opening, the Delaney F9100 Series 694300 is Grade 1 and fire rated in aluminum finish.
16) Is the Imperial USA ED-VR531 a drop-in substitute for the Detex narrow stile vertical rod device?
No. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series, but it is a wide stile, exit only, non-rated device. The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is narrow stile and is supplied with an always-active outside lever, and it can be ordered fire rated or non-rated. The two differ on stile width, outside trim, and fire rating, so confirm the door stile before treating them as interchangeable.
17) Which vertical rod device should I pick if I need a delayed egress or alarmed exit?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is offered with electrified options including hardwired electric alarm, electric alarm with battery, delayed egress, and a request-to-exit signal switch, so the alarm or delayed egress function is built into the device rather than added on. The comparable Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR devices and the Cal-Royal 9860 are listed as exit only mechanical devices, so those openings would need separate electrified hardware.
18) I need a non-handed vertical rod device. How does the Detex compare?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is a handed device ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the design is field reversible. The Marks USA M9900VR and the fire rated M9900FVR at 36 x 84 are described as non-handed, so a single part covers either swing out of the box. Choose based on whether you want stocking simplicity or the narrow stile fit and always-active lever of the Detex.
19) What finishes does the Detex Value Series narrow stile device come in?
Two anodized aluminum finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 matches the clear anodized storefront most narrow stile aluminum doors are built in, and 711 matches dark bronze and black anodized frames.
20) How hard is this Detex device to lay out on the door, and are templates available?
Layout is done with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system instead of a paper template, which is what keeps the top strike and floor strike in line with the rods on the first try. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list PDF for the Value Series V50/V51, plus door prep templates and an installation video.
