Detex V50 Eb Cd 628 96 36X96 Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The DETEX V50 EB CD 628 96 36X96 is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device built for single doors requiring full-height panic hardware coverage. It features cylinder dogging to hold the latch in the retracted position without a key, a battery-operated alarm that signals unauthorized or forced egress, and a 96-inch surface strike sized for 96-inch door heights. The device body spans 36 inches to match standard commercial door widths. Finished in satin aluminum clear anodized (628), it suits aluminum storefront and hollow metal door applications. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware contractors, and commercial security installers are the primary trades for this device.

This exit device is intended for commercial and institutional single-door applications where code-compliant panic hardware is required. The surface vertical rod design mounts to the face of the door and engages top and bottom strikes without mortising, making it suitable for retrofits and new installations on aluminum wide stile doors and hollow metal frames with 96-inch door heights. The battery-operated alarm adds a deterrent layer at secondary egress points such as stairwell doors, storage rooms, and utility corridors where monitored access control is not present.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware specialist or commercial locksmith familiar with panic hardware codes including NFPA 101 and IBC egress requirements. Disengage all power and secure the door in a safe position before mounting hardware. Do not modify the rod length or strike placement beyond manufacturer guidance, as improper alignment will cause latch binding or alarm false-triggers. Verify battery installation and alarm function after final mounting before returning the door to service.
