The Detex Advantex F10 LD 630 99 36 is a super-heavy-duty ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 fire-rated rim exit device engineered for 36-inch-wide (3-foot) commercial fire doors. This genuine Detex F10 Series wide-stile fire exit hardware includes the required LD less/no dogging configuration, No. 99 surface-mounted rim strike, and 630 / US32D satin stainless steel finish. Its robust mechanical pushpad provides quick, unobstructed egress while allowing the door to close and latch positively after use, as required by the rated opening design.

Three-Hour Fire-Exit Hardware: The Detex F10 platform is UL 10C listed for up to 3-hour fire-door assemblies when specified and installed with the appropriate listed door, frame, strike, fasteners and, where applicable, Detex-approved fire-rated center mullion. Detex publishes applications including up to 4 ft × 10 ft single doors and up to 8 ft × 8 ft pairs with an approved F90KR keyed removable mullion. The exact permitted rating and installation depend on the complete door assembly and adopted local codes. Fire-exit hardware is not a substitute for a labeled fire door, closer, correct frame or compliant opening.

LD Less Dogging – Positive Latching: The LD designation means no mechanical dogging feature. Unlike Detex 10 HD (hex dogging) or 10 CD (cylinder dogging), this fire-exit device cannot hold the pushpad and latch retracted for daytime passage. The stainless steel deadlocking Pullman-style rim latch remains able to re-engage after every exit, maintaining the intended positive-latching behavior of a fire-door assembly. Never add an aftermarket dogging kit or substitute a doggable panic device where listed fire-exit hardware is required.

36-Inch Wide-Stile Rim Configuration: The 36 model is designed for compatible 36-inch door widths. Its surface-mounted rim latch engages the No. 99 surface-mounted strike on a properly prepared frame or an approved removable mullion. The device is non-handed and field-sizeable according to Detex instructions and is intended for commercial doors meeting the specified mounting clearances, typically with a minimum 4-5/8-inch stile for the 99 strike and a 1-3/4-inch to 2-1/4-inch door thickness. Verify actual door preparations using the current Detex template.

630 Satin Stainless Steel: The ordered 630 / US32D finish offers a brushed satin stainless steel architectural appearance suited to heavy-traffic institutions and commercial facilities. Detex uses a durable PVD finishing process over stainless steel exposed surfaces on its Advantex hardware. A stainless deadlocking Pullman latchbolt, heavy-duty EC1 angled/ramped end cap, and the proprietary mounting plate with strike locator support security, durability and correct installation.

Exit-Only, Mechanical Hardware: This part number does not include exterior lever trim, pull trim, rim cylinder, alarm, batteries, electrical latch retraction, delayed egress, request-to-exit switch or power supply. It is a purely mechanical fire-exit rim device, not an F10 EA alarm model. If outside entry is required, choose separately specified Detex F10-compatible and approved outside trim and required cylinders/keying without modifying the fire-exit listing.

Fire-Door Ordering and Installation Notes

Part number: F10 = fire-rated Advantex 10 Series wide-stile rim device; LD = less/no dogging; 630 = satin stainless steel; 99 = rim surface strike; 36 = nominal 3-foot door. Before purchase, verify the entire fire-door and frame label, UL 10C assembly listing, closing and positive-latching requirements, No. 99 strike preparation, approved F90KR or equivalent factory-approved mullion on pairs, accessibility, frame/door thickness, clearances, and local AHJ requirements. Follow Detex's current hardware templates and NFPA 80 requirements. Do not add mechanical dogging, substitute a panic-only device, or install unapproved outside trim on a fire door. The 18 lb shipping weight is an estimate and must be replaced with the actual packed carrier weight when available.

The Detex Advantex F10 EA LD 630 99 48 is a super-heavy-duty, ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, fire-rated wide-stile rim exit device combining 48-inch nominal fire-exit hardware, an integrated EA audible exit alarm, LD less dogging, a Detex No. 99 surface-mounted rim strike, and 630 / US32D brushed satin stainless steel finish. Designed for properly prepared 48-inch / 4-foot-wide commercial fire doors, the F10 Series combines durable, positive mechanical latching with a local audible alarm that notifies personnel when someone attempts an unauthorized exit.

F10 Fire-Rated Exit Device: The F designation specifies Detex's 3-hour UL 10C listed fire exit hardware configuration within its approved fire door assemblies, subject to the correct door, frame, strike, fasteners and any required mullion. It is not a standard 10 Series panic device. Fire doors must retain positive latching and cannot use mechanical dogging to hold the latch retracted. For that reason this model includes LD – less/no dogging rather than HD hex dogging or CD cylinder dogging. This distinction is essential for fire-rated doors and must be preserved during installation and maintenance.

EA Alarm – Immediate Egress, Audible Security: The EA option adds a monitored pushpad switch and an approximately 100 dB piezo audible alarm. When the alarm is armed, pressing the exit pushpad generates a local alert and can send a remote alarm signal to compatible security equipment. The EA assembly supports remote alarm relay signaling, remote bypass, audible/visual arming indicators, status LEDs, and audible/visual low-battery notification. This is an exit-alarm device, NOT an EE delayed-egress device. The alarm does not impose a 15-second lock-release delay or prevent immediate mechanical egress through the listed fire-exit hardware.

Arming Timing and Alarm Control: Detex's standard EA electronics use a factory-default 15-second alarm arming delay after a key reset (1- or 5-second alternative settings available from the factory) and offer manual key arming or a field-selectable 2-minute automatic rearm mode. The 15-second setting concerns the alarm's armed status, not the time a person must wait to leave. Optional factory settings permit other rearming intervals. When properly configured and installed, a compatible security system may bypass the alarm for authorized entry or exit without disabling code-required free egress.

Power Options: The EA alarm is designed for a standard 9V battery or optional 12V/24V AC/DC external power with 9V battery backup. The standard EA arrangement provides battery-powered standalone alarming. A separate transformer, conduit kit, electrical hinge or power-transfer accessory should not be assumed included for the model as listed; select additional components based on the actual site wiring and factory packing list. Approved electrical wiring, batteries and alarm interfaces must follow current Detex installation instructions.

Mortise Cylinder for EA Arming – No Dogging: The exit-alarm key switch uses a compatible mortise cylinder with standard Yale cam to arm, disarm or reset the alarm. The cylinder is sold separately unless a factory-installed cylinder is explicitly ordered. Because this is an F10 LD fire-rated assembly, the arming cylinder does NOT dog the pushpad or hold the latch retracted. Do not describe this model as cylinder dogging or install dogging parts on it. LD means no mechanical dogging feature.

Exit-Only, No Outside Entry Trim: The manufacturer code F10 EA LD 630 99 48 does not specify an exterior lever, pull, key-retracting trim, blank exterior escutcheon, exterior cylinder or a removable center mullion. The ordered item is the interior fire-exit rim device with EA alarm and 99 strike. Any outside entry trim must be separately approved for the F10 rated fire-door application. Additional keying and installation preparations are sold separately.
