The Detex V40xNS is the narrow stile member of the Value Series rim exit device family, built for aluminum storefront and glass doors with 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch stiles where the wide stile V40 will not fit. It is the same ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 Type 1 panic hardware, reworked with an extended extrusion that makes the device 2 inches longer and a lower profile strike that clears a narrow frame.
The core hardware is shared across every V40xNS build: a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman latch bolt, a heavy duty ribbed aluminum rail with high impact ABS and anodized surfaces, over 1400 pounds of static pull resistance, an angled end cap that deflects damage away from the device, and the patented mounting plate and strike locator system that replaces paper templates. Outside trims change or rekey without taking the device off the door.
From that platform the device configures a long way. Order it plain, 3 hour fire rated, with a built in exit alarm, with electric dogging for scheduled push-pull operation, with delayed egress, or with request to exit and electric switching for integration into an access control system. The full Value Series trim range - blank plates, pulls, key retracts latch trims, and classroom, storeroom, and passage levers - mounts to any of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When do I need the V40xNS instead of the V40?
- When the door stile is 2 inches to 2-1/2 inches - typically aluminum storefront and glass doors. The standard V40 needs a wide stile or flush door, from 3-1/2 inch stile on singles and 4 inch on pairs.
- How is it physically different?
- It uses an extended extrusion that adds 2 inches to device length, so it measures 34-7/8 inches on a 36 inch door and 46-7/8 inches on a 48 inch door, and it uses a lower profile strike that clears the narrow frame.
- Why does it come with the 98 strike?
- The 98 semi mortise strike is the low profile strike suited to a narrow stile frame, so it is standard here. The 99 surface strike and 94 double door strike are wide stile V40 options.
- Can I get it hurricane rated?
- No. The H hurricane rating and the combined FH rating are offered on the wide stile V40 only. If the opening needs a windstorm listed exit device, it needs the wide stile V40.
- Can I get it fire rated?
- Yes, the F 3 hour fire rated option is available. Note that fire rated devices ship less dogging and fire rated trims must be fail safe.
- Which version should I order for an alarmed exit?
- The EB exit alarm with battery is the usual choice - a self contained 100 decibel alarm running on a 9 volt battery, so nothing has to be wired to the door. The EA package is the hardwired equivalent.
- Which version lets me leave the doors open during business hours?
- The ED electric dogging package. It holds the latch and pushpad retracted while energized for push-pull operation and relocks every device from one switch or a fire alarm input. It needs a 24V power supply or logic controller, which is not included.
- Is the device handed?
- The device itself is non-handed. Lever trims (BN and D2W) are handed and the EU2W electric trim is not field reversible, so pick LHR or RHR to match your door.
- Which trims need a cylinder, and is one included?
- 03 function trims and cylinder dogging take a rim cylinder; 08 and 09 lever trims take a mortise cylinder. Cylinders are not included as standard, but Detex can pre-install a C65 cylinder or an IC7 interchangeable core housing before shipping.
- What is the NSK narrow kit?
- The NSK is a field kit that converts a wide stile V40 for narrow stile glass door applications. If you know the opening is narrow stile up front, order the V40xNS rather than converting in the field.
