Pro-Installer FAQ
What's the maximum door height?
Standard configuration fits doors up to 36X84. Top and bottom rod lengths are field-adjustable. For doors exceeding standard height, verify rod lengths before ordering.
Why would I choose Less Dogging?
LD (Less Dogging) is required on fire-rated door openings where code prohibits holding the latch open. Even if the device itself isn't fire-rated, the opening may require LD based on the door's fire label.
Does Detex cover this under warranty?
Detex provides a limited lifetime warranty on mechanical components and 3 years on electronic components. This covers manufacturing defects — not field damage or improper installation.
