Detex V50 Ld 628 96 36X84 Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The DETEX V50 LD 628 96 36X84 is a Value Series wide stile surface vertical rod exit device engineered for commercial and institutional door applications. It mounts to the surface of the door and operates both the top and bottom latches simultaneously through a vertical rod linkage, allowing for single-motion egress in compliance with life safety codes. This unit is configured less dogging, meaning it does not include a hold-open function, keeping the latch mechanism active at all times. The finish is satin aluminum clear anodized, providing corrosion resistance suitable for high-traffic environments. Licensed contractors and commercial door hardware specialists are the typical installing trade.

This exit device is sized for a 36-inch wide door leaf on a door with an 84-inch height. It ships with a 96 surface strike for the top rod, which mounts to the door frame header. The wide stile configuration accommodates doors with wider vertical stiles, common in aluminum storefront and commercial hollow metal door assemblies. Typical applications include stairwell doors, corridor egress doors, and secondary exit points in commercial, institutional, and light industrial buildings.
