DORMA RTS88 Series Overhead Concealed Door Closer

The RTS88 is designed to give lasting, dependable service where surface applied units and other types of closers are not suitable, or would interfere with the architectural design. It can be easily installed in wood, aluminum, or hollow metal doors and frames, for single and double-acting doors.

  • Concealed installation
  • For single and double-acting doors
  • Dependable and easy to Install

Aesthetic advantages

Architects are often challenged to design buildings that are both beautiful and functional, down to the last detail. The DORMA RTS88 overhead concealed door closer offers the perfect solution for those who prefer the aesthetic advantages of a concealed door closer.

Vandalism protection

The RTS88 is an excellent replacement closer for problem entrances encountering vandalism of surface applied closers.

Benefits for the contractor

Contractors appreciate the RTS88 closer, because the majority of door and frame preparation is done prior to installation of the unit, resulting in less on-site machining.

Dormakaba RTS10 105 NHO SZ3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the RTS10 closer handed for a left or right swing?
No handing to specify. The RTS10 is non-handed and works single acting or double acting, so one part number covers either swing direction and both in-and-out openings.
2) Which spring size should I pick for a 3'-0" exterior aluminum entrance?
SZ3 is the standard closing force covering 2'-6" to 3'-0" exterior doors and 3'-0" to 3'-6" interior. Go SZ4 for the strongest force, 3'-0" to 3'-6" exterior or 3'-6" to 4'-0" interior. SZ2 is a light opening force option. Where reduced opening force is required, BFE is the barrier free spring for exterior doors at 3'-0" width and BFI the barrier free spring for interior doors at the same width.
3) What do I have to specify when ordering an RTS10 besides the finish?
Four choices decide the part: spring size (BFE, BFI, SZ2, SZ3 or SZ4), cushion stop at 90 or 105 degrees, hold open or non hold open, and the package option. Package is either standard, standard plus the 8563 frame cover plate, or the version with a 5mm extended spindle for thicker rail or floor conditions.
4) Can the RTS10 go into a wood or hollow metal door instead of aluminum?
The RTS10 package is configured for aluminum door and frame applications. The RTS88 closer family itself installs in wood, aluminum or hollow metal doors and frames, but if your opening is wood or hollow metal, order the RTS88 variant prepped for that material rather than this aluminum package.
5) My door is offset hung, not center hung. What concealed closer should I use instead of the RTS10?
The RTS10 is a center hung end load unit for aluminum doors and frames, so it will not suit an offset pivot opening. For offset hung aluminum doors, use the Norton Rixson 0608 Series, an offset hung overhead concealed closer for aluminum doors up to 200 lbs. Confirm the door leaf weight is within 200 lbs before specifying it.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Dorma RTS10 overhead concealed closer from another manufacturer?
The Norton Rixson 73 Series is the nearest match. Like the RTS10, it is a center hung overhead concealed closer rated for 250 lb doors and it is a double acting unit supplied with a cover plate. The 73 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer. The RTS10 handles single or double acting aluminum door and frame openings, is non-handed, and is rated to 250 lbs.
7) I need close to 180 degrees of swing. Is the RTS10 the right closer?
The RTS10 is built around a 90 or 105 degree cushion, so the cushioning stop is set at one of those two angles. If the opening has to swing out to roughly 180 degrees, look at the Sargent 269, a heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed closer with 180 degree opening capability.
8) Can I use a CRL Jackson concealed closer body as a drop-in replacement for a Dorma RTS10?
Treat it as a different unit rather than a drop-in. The CRL Jackson concealed closers such as the 20-101M-01 and 20-101M-03 are sold as closer body only, in regular duty, and they are fixed to one cushion angle per part number - the -01 is 105 degree no hold-open and the -03 is 90 degree no hold-open. The RTS10 is ordered as a complete package for aluminum door and frame with your choice of 90 or 105 degree cushion, hold open or no hold open, and an optional 8563 frame cover plate.
9) Should I use a concealed closer like the RTS10 or just a surface closer?
Go concealed when a surface unit would spoil the look of the entrance or gets torn off. The RTS88 family, RTS10 included, was built for openings where surface applied closers aren't suitable or interfere with the architecture, and it's a common replacement at entrances where surface closers get vandalized. The trade-off is prep: most door and frame machining happens before the unit goes in, which means less on-site work but no dropping it onto an unprepped frame.
10) Does the RTS10 hold the door open, and at what degree?
Hold open is optional, not standard, so it's a choice on the order. The cushion stop comes at either 90 or 105 degrees, which sets how far the door swings before the closer cushions it. If you want a door that stays open for deliveries or loading, order the hold open version; for a door that must always self-close, order non hold open. The CRL Jackson concealed closer bodies in 90 and 105 degree are non hold open only.
11) What is the 5mm extended spindle option on the RTS10 for?
It's a package choice that gives the closer a spindle 5mm longer than standard, used when the distance from the closer body to the pivot point on the door rail is greater than a standard install. Order it only if your top rail or frame condition calls for the extra reach; otherwise take the standard package. The third option adds the 8563 frame cover plate for a finished look at the header.
12) If my door is lighter than 250 lbs, is there a lighter duty center hung concealed closer than the RTS10?
Yes. The Norton Rixson 608 Series and the 700 Series are both center hung overhead concealed closers rated for 200 lb doors and both are standard duty units. The RTS10 is rated to 250 lbs, so on a lighter aluminum storefront leaf either Rixson option covers the weight while the RTS10 gives you headroom plus selectable spring sizes from BFI barrier free through SZ4.
13) For a hollow metal or wood door opening, what concealed closer should I look at instead of the RTS10 package?
The RTS10 package is configured for aluminum door and frame applications. For heavier commercial hollow metal work the Sargent 268 is an overhead concealed closer with a cast iron body, heavy duty and Grade 1, and the Sargent 278 is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed unit with an exposed arm where the arm can be surface visible. Both are a different install family from the RTS10 center hung end load package.
14) I need a barrier free low opening force closer. Does the RTS10 cover that, or do I need a different model?
The RTS10 covers it directly. Spring size BFI is barrier free light opening force for interior doors at 3 ft door width and BFE is the barrier free light opening force version for exterior doors at 3 ft, with SZ2 also offered as a light opening force spring. You select the spring when you order rather than switching to another closer. The CRL Jackson 20-101M-17 takes a different approach - it is an adjustable spring power concealed closer body.
15) What finishes does the RTS10 come in, and does the cover frame match?
Seven finishes, and the 8653 cover frame finish goes with the selection: 600 prime coat, 689 aluminum, 690 statuary bronze, 691 dull bronze, 693 black, 695 dark duradonic bronze and 696 gold. Prime coat is the one to pick if the entrance is being field painted to a custom color.
