This document provides installation instructions for the Detex 03R Advantex Trim. Important: The trim must be installed before the exit device is assembled to the door. Ensure you have the required BP12 backplate (supplied with the exit device) before beginning. The unit is designed for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick. For 2-1/4 inch thick doors, you must use the longer tailpiece (p/n 105239-1) provided.
Parts breakdown
The trim assembly consists of the trim housing, hex standoffs, trim tailpiece assembly, and mounting screws. Ensure all parts listed in the parts breakdown are present before starting installation. The cylinder (5 pin or 7 pin) is sold separately.
Door preparation
Device side: Prepare the door according to the instructions provided with the exit device. Use a pencil, center punch, and power drill to prepare the necessary holes.
Transferring centerlines: Transfer the device vertical and horizontal centerlines from the device side to the trim side of the door. Use a square to ensure accuracy and account for the door bevel.
Trim side: Prepare the hole and slotted opening on the trim side of the door using the provided template (p/n 105285).
Cylinder preparation
Cut the rim cylinder tailpiece to the appropriate length as shown in the diagram. Ensure the break-away cylinder screws are cut to the proper length for your door thickness.
Trim assembly and installation
- Assemble the cylinder (with key removed), trim housing, and tailpiece assembly.
- If the door is 2-1/4 inches thick, replace the default tailpiece with the longer one (p/n 105239-1).
- Secure the BP12 backplate to the door.
- Align the tailpiece to the cam on the backplate.
- Install the trim using the appropriate length screws in the top holes above and below the cam.
- If necessary, peel off the label on top of the cam to access screw holes. You may need to turn the key to rotate the cam for access.
- Ensure the cam is in the correct position when finished and the tailpiece does not protrude past the surface of the cam.
