Detex V5008BNxNS-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 is exactly what the V50xNS/V51xNS Series is built for. It is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device for double doors without a mullion, latching at the head with a 3/4 inch stainless deadlocking top latch bolt and at the sill with a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long bottom drop bolt. Because it latches top and bottom into the frame and threshold rather than into a mullion or a mating door edge, a center mullion is not required.
2) What door widths and heights does the Detex V50xNS series cover?
Device rail lengths are 36 inch and 48 inch, sized to the door width. Rod lengths cover 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch door heights, so tall openings are handled by specifying the door height at order rather than field-splicing rods.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex Value Series narrow stile exit device?
Yes. It is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings for an outswinging exit door. The device is handed but field reversible, so an installer who gets the wrong hand on site can flip it rather than reorder.
4) Can I get the Detex V50 narrow stile device on a fire rated opening?
Both fire rated and non-rated builds are offered. On a fire door you must order the fire rated version and leave dogging off, since fire exit hardware cannot be held retracted. Pick the non-rated build only for a panic-only opening where dogging is wanted.
5) What is the difference between the top rod only and the top and bottom rod version of this Detex device?
Top and bottom rod is the full two-point build: 3/4 inch top latch bolt into the head strike plus the 5-5/8 inch bottom drop bolt into the floor strike. Top rod only deletes the bottom rod and bolt, which keeps the sill clear of a floor strike, eases operation where the threshold is dirty or out of level, and is the usual choice where a floor bolt is a trip or maintenance problem. Security is single point with that option.
6) Which dogging option should I order with a Detex Value Series exit device?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging holds the pushbar retracted with an allen key and is the economical pick for a back-of-house door. Cylinder dogging lets staff dog and undog with a keyed cylinder, which is what most schools and retail spaces want for open hours. Order less/no dogging on any fire rated opening.
7) What does the key function on the Detex V5008BNxNS mean for outside access?
The V5008BNxNS/V5108BNxNS is the key locks/unlocks outside lever function: a key at the outside trim toggles the lever between locked and unlocked, so you can leave the door on free entry during business hours and key it back to locked after. Inside egress is always free through the pushbar. If you never need outside entry, an exit only device like the Marks USA M9900VR is the simpler build.
8) Can I add an alarm or delayed egress to a Detex Value Series narrow stile device?
Yes, it is specified at order. Options are EA hardwired electric alarm, EB alarm with battery power, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch, or none for a straight mechanical device. EB suits a door with no power run to it; EX is the one to pick when you only need to signal an access control panel that the door was used.
9) Will a Von Duprin 8827 or Imperial ED-VR531 fit the same narrow stile aluminum doors as the Detex V50xNS?
No. The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is a narrow stile device, sized for the slim stiles of aluminum storefront. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are both wide stile surface vertical rod devices and need a wider stile to mount on. Go wide stile only if your doors are hollow metal or wood with a full-width stile.
10) What vertical rod exit device should I use if the door is a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door instead of narrow stile?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS Value Series is built specifically for narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile opening you want a device prepped for that stile. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device. Both are exit only, so if you need an outside key function you will be specifying trim separately.
11) I only need free egress with no outside trim - is there a simpler vertical rod device than the Detex Value Series?
Yes. The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is configured with a key function that locks and unlocks the outside lever, which means outside trim and a cylinder. If nobody needs to come back in through that door, an exit only device is simpler: the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch exit only vertical rod panic device and is non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 exit only surface vertical rod device. The Detex, by contrast, is handed and ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse.
12) What is the closest fire rated alternative to the Detex Value Series narrow stile vertical rod device?
The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS can be ordered fire rated or non-rated on the same device. If you are cross shopping fire labeled vertical rod hardware, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is 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 is a fire rated exit only vertical rod device for 36 by 84 inch, with a 48 inch fire rated version also offered. Note those are fixed door size devices where the Detex is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch widths across 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights.
13) Which vertical rod devices should I look at if I need an alarm or delayed egress built in?
Stay with the Detex V50xNS/V51xNS for that. It is offered with hardwired electric alarm, electric alarm with battery, delayed egress, and a request to exit signal switch, in addition to a non-electrified version. The comparable vertical rod devices from Cal-Royal, Delaney, Marks USA, Imperial USA and Von Duprin are mechanical exit devices without those electrified options, so specifying one of them means adding separate alarm or monitoring hardware.
14) What strike options come with this Detex vertical rod device, and which do I need for an exterior door?
Two: the 96 package with a surface non-roller top strike and a standard bottom strike, or 96B, which swaps in a dust proof bottom strike. Pick 96B for exterior openings, garage-level doors, or anywhere grit and water collect at the threshold, since an unprotected floor strike pocket packs with debris and the bottom bolt stops seating.
15) Is this Detex device heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or retail entrance?
It carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating, the top commercial grade, and is a commercial-rated device. Construction is a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces.
16) How hard is this Detex exit device to install compared to a typical vertical rod device?
Detex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which sets the top and bottom strike locations off the device itself. Detex publishes installation instructions, a parts list, and door prep templates for the V50 series, and the trim is modular so an outside trim or function can be changed later without pulling the device off the door.
17) I need a fire rated vertical rod device but my doors are not narrow stile. What else is there?
For a fire rated surface vertical rod on standard doors, the Delaney F9100 Series is Grade 1 and fire rated, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both fire rated exit only. Note those Marks and Delaney units are exit only, so if you also need keyed outside entry the Detex V50xNS key function build is the one that gives you that.
18) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex Value Series vertical rod device?
Not a direct one. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, exit only and not fire rated. The Detex V50xNS/V51xNS is a Grade 1 device, can be specified fire rated, and carries a key function that locks and unlocks the outside lever. If your spec calls for Grade 1 or a labeled opening, the 9860 will not cover it.
