The Detex Advantex 2008DS 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 properly prepared 36-inch-wide × 84-inch-high (3' × 7') commercial door. This complete 20 Series top-and-bottom rod assembly includes 08DS classroom-function exterior S-lever escutcheon trim, standard HD hex-key dogging, the No. 97 surface-mounted top strike, a 97 dustproof bottom strike, protective top and bottom rod covers, and an ADA-compliant ramped bottom bolt cover. The exit device is specified in 630 / US32D satin stainless steel, delivering durable, high-traffic mechanical egress and controllable keyed outside entry.
20 Series Surface Vertical Rod Hardware: Unlike a single-point rim panic device, the Detex 20 Series operates a top deadlocking stainless steel Pullman-type latch and a hardened-steel bottom drop bolt, securing the door at its head and floor. This top-and-bottom latching arrangement is especially useful on pairs of commercial doors without a center mullion. Factory-standard stainless steel covers protect both rods, while the ramped ADA bottom-bolt cover reduces protrusion and protects the lower mechanism. Verify door and frame clearances, strike alignment and accessibility for each opening.
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-2008DS-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.
- Classroom-function exterior trim must match the facility's authorized key-control and handing requirements.
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.
08DS Classroom-Function S Lever: The included 08DS keyed exterior classroom lever trim lets authorized staff lock or unlock the outside lever with a key. The lever remains in the selected locked or unlocked condition after the key is removed, making it suitable for school and institutional entrances where normal entry access must be changed throughout the day. The S-style breakaway lever is engineered to resist damage from heavy use. The outside lever requires a compatible standard-cam mortise cylinder, sold separately unless expressly furnished in the factory order. The escutcheon measures approximately 2-3/4 inches wide × 9-1/16 inches high with approximately 7/8-inch projection.
HD Hex-Key Dogging — Not Cylinder Dogging: The standard one-eighth-turn hex dogging mechanism permits authorized personnel to hold the exit pushpad and latches retracted for free passage where permitted. No additional mortise dogging cylinder is required for HD operation. The 08DS exterior lever still requires its own mortise cylinder to lock and unlock the outside entry function. The mechanically doggable configuration is not fire-rated as ordered: use a correctly specified F20 fire-exit hardware assembly on an appropriately rated opening.
Finish and handing confirmation: Model 630 specifies the brushed satin stainless steel exit device. Detex commonly supplies the separate 08DS lever trim in 626 satin chrome, so the actual escutcheon and lever finish must be confirmed before representing the entire assembly as 630. The 20 Series is usually shipped RHR unless LHR is specified, and the mechanism is field-reversible according to manufacturer instructions; confirm the door handing and lever trim setup before placing an order.

Confirm the RHR/LHR handing, exterior lever finish (commonly 626), mortise-cylinder compatibility, actual field dimensions, rod and bolt installation clearances, approved use of dogging, and applicable fire/life-safety code requirements. Verify actual shipping weight before generating carrier labels.
