The Detex Advantex 20 Series Grade 1 surface vertical rod (SVR) exit device is designed for commercial and institutional double-door openings requiring top-and-bottom latching without a center mullion. Both variants are factory-configured for a nominal 84-inch door height, HD hex-key dogging, 630 / US32D satin stainless steel and the specified 97 strike arrangement. Select 36-inch or 48-inch nominal device length based on the actual door width and current Detex sizing instructions.
Device size matters: 36 x 84 and 48 x 84 are distinct factory configurations. Verify door dimensions, factory rod length, top and bottom latch locations, mullion-free meeting-stile clearance, outside trim and approved dogging application before ordering.
Manufacturer Configurations
| Selectable Option | Detex SKU |
|---|---|
| 36 x 84 in | DTX-20-HD-630-97-36X84 |
| 48 x 84 in | DTX-20-HD-630-97-48X84 |
Key Features and Applications
- Super-heavy-duty Advantex 20 platform with a surface-mounted vertical-rod latch assembly
- Factory hex dogging for permitted daytime traffic; do not use mechanical dogging on an opening whose listing prohibits it
- Matching 630 satin stainless steel finish on both factory sizes
- Top/bottom latch and strike geometry must match the door/frame opening; not interchangeable with a rim exit device
Ordering and Installation Checklist
- Measure the actual door leaf width, height and frame/threshold details and confirm the manufacturer's allowed rod and rail adjustments.
- Confirm top and bottom latch/strike preparation, door handing, through-bolt requirements and closure sequence for a pair of doors.
- Verify the opening is specified for a mechanical panic device with HD dogging rather than fire-rated/no-dogging hardware.
- After installation, test pushpad travel, top and bottom latch engagement, authorized dogging, and free emergency egress.
Package Contents
One factory Detex exit-device assembly selected by the exact model number. Confirm included strike, mounting hardware, trim, cylinder/keys and electronic accessories against the factory kit. Separate controllers, external power sources, door/frame, unrelated parts and installation labor are not included unless documented for that SKU.
Detailed Manufacturer-Specific Model Descriptions
36 x 84 in — DTX-20-HD-630-97-36X84
The Detex Advantex 20 HD 630 97 36X84 is a super-heavy-duty, ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 surface vertical rod (SVR) panic exit device designed for a 36-inch-wide by 84-inch-high (3' × 7') commercial door. Ideal for paired doors that require secure top-and-bottom latching without a center mullion, the Detex 20 Series combines HD hex-key dogging, a No. 97 surface-mounted top strike, a No. 97 dustproof bottom strike, covered vertical rods, an ADA-compatible ramped bottom-bolt cover, and 630 / US32D brushed satin stainless steel finish. The inside touchpad provides immediate mechanical egress without electrical power.
20 Series Surface Vertical Rod Hardware: Unlike a rim exit bar that latches against a frame or center mullion, this top-and-bottom rod exit device operates a deadlocking stainless steel Pullman-style top latch and a hardened-steel bottom drop bolt into its appropriate head and floor strikes. This configuration is designed for wide-stile commercial double doors where a mullion is undesirable. Both exposed rods have protective stainless steel rod covers, and the bottom bolt includes a ramped ADA-compliant cover to help protect the hardware and maintain an accessible door approach where installed correctly.
Additional Product Specifications and Ordering Guidance
Exit Device Configuration, Hardware Schedule and Service
Detex exit devices must be selected for the complete opening and the intended mechanical, alarm or electrically controlled function. Rim, surface-vertical-rod and top-rod devices have different strike and door/frame preparation; the full factory SKU controls compatibility.
Factory item on this listing: DTX-20-HD-630-97-36X84.
Product Selection and Installation Checklist
- Confirm door width, height, handing, stile and the designated Detex series and device length.
- Match the panic/exit device's latch and strike layout, outside trim, finish and required mechanical dogging state.
- Review the approved hardware schedule for fire-rated, windstorm, weatherized, alarmed, delayed-egress or electric-latch-retraction requirements.
- Identify any separate power supply, access-control interface, key cylinder, required mullion or outside trim needed for complete use.
- Surface vertical rod and top-rod mechanisms must match the correct head strike, rod path, floor/threshold latch as applicable, and factory device height. Do not substitute a rim device for a rod assembly.
Acceptance and Service Verification
Check smooth latch engagement, free mechanical emergency exit, authorized dogging and any alarm, electrical release, automatic-door or reset sequences specified for the exact factory model.
Factory Package and Related Components
The selected exit-device assembly and components stated for its factory SKU. Separate controllers, readers, facility keys, field wiring and installation are not automatically included. Consult the original model specifications below when matching the factory SKU to an existing opening.
HD Mechanical Hex Dogging: The standard 1/8-turn hex dogging option permits an authorized user to hold the pushpad and both latches in the retracted position for normal free passage where allowed. Return the device to normal latching when security is required. No separate mortise cylinder is needed for dogging. This is the non-fire-rated panic device; do not substitute a mechanically doggable HD device for a listed F20 fire exit device on a fire-rated door.
Exit-only / no outside trim: Model 20 HD 630 97 36X84 specifies the interior surface-vertical-rod device and standard latch/strike package, not exterior lever trim, pull trim, blank trim plate, or keyed outside entry. If outside entry is required, specify a compatible Detex 20 Series exterior trim separately along with any necessary cylinder, keying and door preparation.
