Detex 10 630 99 36 Advantex Wide Stile Rim Exit Device,Satin Stainless Steel Finish, 36" Device

The Detex Advantex 10 Series is the super-heavy-duty tier of Detex's commercial exit device lineup. The "10" is the series designation: super-heavy-duty, ANSI Grade 1, tested beyond 1,000,000 operating cycles (twice the requirement for UL Grade 1 certification). The "630" is finished 630 (Brushed Stainless Steel, US32D), applied over stainless steel via PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), an environmentally-friendly finishing process that produces a harder and more corrosion-resistant surface than conventional painted or anodized finishes. The "99" is the included surface strike model. The "36" is the device length: 36 inches, fitting standard 36" wide doors.

The full model number on americanlocksets.com is 10HD 630 99 36 (also written as 10-HD-630-99-36 or 10HD6309936). All variations refer to the same product: the Detex Advantex 10 Series, hex dogging standard, Satin Stainless Steel finish, surface strike, 36" bar.

99 Surface Strike and 98 Semi-Mortise: Which Strike to Specify

The 99 surface strike ships were standard with the 10 630 99 36. It's a non-roller surface-mounted strike that applies to the face of the frame. Minimum stile width with the 99 strike is 4-5/8". The 98 semi-mortise is an applied strike that sits partially in the frame, allowing a narrower minimum stile of 4-1/8". For frames with stiles narrower than 4-5/8", the 98 semi-mortise (available separately, part number D98) is the correct specification. Both strikes work with the same 10 Series device. The 99 is the standard because it's faster to install on most hollow metal and aluminum frames.

PVD Finish and Why It Matters on Exit Devices

Exit devices take direct daily physical abuse: pushed, leaned on, kicked, and run into by carts and equipment. A painted finish on aluminum would wear through within years. A conventional anodized finish is better but can still oxidize in coastal or humid environments. The Detex Advantex 10 Series uses PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) applied over a stainless steel substrate. PVD creates a harder surface coating than conventional finishes, with better corrosion and scratch resistance. The 630 Brushed Stainless Steel finish is visually consistent with 304 and 316 stainless adjacent hardware and coordinates with most commercial stainless steel door hardware specifications.

Expanding the 10 Series with Outside Trim

The 10 630 99 36 ships as a device-only unit with the 99 surface strike. Outside trim is sold separately. The Detex 08DS (RHR or LHR) adds a key-controlled entry lever for outside access. The Detex 09DS adds a storeroom lever (outside lever always rigid, key retracts latch). The 03C provides a night latch pull. Pre-packaged combinations (device with trim pre-installed) are also available: Detex 1003WS 630 99 36 includes the 03WS night latch trim, and Detex 1008DS 630 99 36 includes the 08DS classroom lever trim.
