Detex V40W71136 Weatherized Rim Exit Device 36 Inches

Product Description

The DETEX V40W71136 is a weatherized rim exit device built for 36-inch door applications where exit-only egress control and durability in outdoor or exposed environments are required. This device mounts to the rim of the door and allows free egress from the secured side while preventing entry, making it a code-compliant choice for exterior emergency exit doors. The black finish provides a clean, consistent appearance in commercial and institutional settings. At 14.13 pounds, the unit is a substantial, hardware-grade assembly suited for demanding installations.

This exit device is intended for exterior or weather-exposed door openings where standard rim exit hardware would be vulnerable to corrosion or environmental degradation. Typical installations include emergency exit doors on commercial buildings, schools, warehouses, and light industrial facilities. The exit-only function makes it appropriate for stairwell exits, loading dock doors, and any opening requiring controlled egress without re-entry capability. Licensed locksmiths and commercial door hardware installers handle this type of work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with local building codes and fire egress requirements.

Consult applicable IBC and NFPA 101 life safety code requirements for exit device placement and function on rated egress doors.
