Product Description
Panic Bar Lever Style Handle Kit for Detex Exit Bars – Black or Silver
- Lever Style Panic Exit Trim — Outside lever handle kit for Detex Value Series exit devices on doors and gates.
- Function Options — Classroom (outside lever can be left locked/unlocked) or Storeroom (outside always needs a key).
- ADA & Field Reversible — Comfortable lever meets accessibility guidelines; installs LH or RH without special ordering.
- Durable Build — Cast aluminum trim with Black or Silver powder coat for busy, high-use openings.
- Complete Kit — Includes mortise cylinder and two keys (verify keyway), exterior lever trim, and mounting fasteners.
This lever-style trim gives your Detex V40/V50 exit device a familiar, ADA-friendly outside lever for controlled entry while maintaining free egress inside. Choose Classroom function when you want the lever left unlocked during business hours, or Storeroom when you want it to always require a key. The cast-aluminum construction and powder-coated finishes hold up to daily use, and the handles are field reversible to streamline inventory and installation. For gates, pair this trim with a lock-box kit such as the 6045-KIT or stainless-duty 10045-KIT to add keyed re-entry.

Why Choose This
- Right function for your policy — Classroom keeps the lever unlocked during hours; Storeroom ensures a key is always required outside.
- Gate-ready — Pairs cleanly with lock-box gate kits like 6045-KIT; add a durable closer (e.g., TB400) to ensure full latch.
- Fast installs — Field-reversible handing and included cylinder/keys reduce jobsite trips and change orders.
Installation (Quick Steps)
- Verify device — Confirm a Detex V40 or V50 Value Series exit device is installed and operable.
- Mount exterior trim — Prep per template, install lever trim, and seat the mortise cylinder; check key operation.
- Set function — Choose Classroom or Storeroom to match your access policy; test lever, latch, and inside push bar.
- Gate setups — If using on a gate, align with your lock box/strike; consider a kit like 6045-KIT for a complete package.
Buying Guide
- Need always-keyed entry? Storeroom function is best; for a simpler keyed pull (no lever), see Detex 03AN or 03PN.
- Prefer alarmed egress? Choose an alarmed gate kit (e.g., 6047-KIT) and use the appropriate lever trim.
- Harsher environments? Consider Advantex-based kits like 10045-KIT for stainless-duty performance.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Yes. The lever trim is designed for Detex Value Series devices including V40 (rim) and V50 (surface vertical rod). Verify your specific device model before ordering.
