Norton Rixson 1-136-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I pick the right size Norton Rixson 1 Series overhead stop for my door width?
Size is by door opening width and by how the door is hung. The 1 Series covers five ranges: 24 to 28 inches butts offset; 28-1/16 to 33 inches butts offset or 30 to 36 inches center hung; 33-1/16 to 38 inches butts offset or 36-1/16 to 41 inches center hung; 38-1/16 to 43 inches butts offset or 41-1/16 to 46 inches center hung; and 43-1/16 to 48 inches butts offset or 46-1/16 to 50 inches center hung. Measure the actual door leaf width and confirm whether it swings on butt hinges or a center hung pivot before you pick, because the two columns don't line up on the same part.
2) What is the difference between the friction, hold open, and stop functions on the Norton Rixson 1 Series?
Three functions, and you order one. Stop is a dead stop only, it limits the swing and nothing else. Friction adds drag through the swing so the door will stay roughly where you push it without a positive catch. Hold open latches the door open at the stop point, and those models carry a surface on/off knob so a user can switch the hold open out without tools. In a corridor or a stairwell where the door must close, order stop. Where housekeeping or deliveries need the door parked open, order hold open.
3) Will a concealed overhead stop protect the door and frame when someone throws the door open?
That's the reason to spend on this one. The 1 Series carries a heavy shock absorber spring that compresses 5 to 7 degrees before the dead stop, so the energy of a slammed door is absorbed rather than driven straight into the frame and hinges. Combined with the slider cam and shock block, it's built for high traffic, heavy abuse openings, which is where the cheaper standard duty concealed stops fail first.
4) Is the Norton Rixson 1 Series Grade 1?
Certain models in the 1 Series are certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.8 Grade 1, and the stop function is UL listed on those. Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier and is what most institutional and government specs call for on a door control. If you are writing a spec that must read Grade 1, confirm the exact function and size combination you're ordering falls in the certified group, since the certification is model specific rather than blanket across the series.
5) Should I use a concealed overhead stop or a surface mounted one?
Concealed goes into a channel routed into the top edge of the door with the track hidden in the frame soffit, so nothing shows when the door is closed. That's the choice where appearance matters or where exposed hardware gets abused. It also means the door has to be prepped, which is straightforward on new doors and more work on existing ones. Surface mounted overheads bolt to the face of the door and frame with no routing, which is why they win on retrofit; the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series and the extra heavy duty 79 Series are the surface equivalents. If the door is already hung and unprepped, go surface.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Norton Rixson 1 Series concealed overhead stop from another brand?
For a like-for-like heavy duty concealed overhead, the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series is the direct counterpart, heavy duty, concealed, multi-function and non-handed. The Sargent 690 is the other heavy duty concealed option and carries ANSI Grade 1 like the 1 Series does on certain models. The ABH 1000 Series is heavy duty concealed with a fire rating, which is the one to look at if the opening is a rated assembly. All three prep the same way, into the top of the door, so the substitution question is really about which brand your building already standardizes on.
7) What is the closest heavy duty concealed overhead stop and holder to the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate?
The Glynn-Johnson 100 Series is the nearest peer: it is a heavy duty concealed overhead door holder and stop, matching the Checkmate 1 Series on both concealed mounting and heavy duty rating. The Sargent 690 is the other close match, a heavy duty overhead concealed stop/holder built to ANSI Grade 1, the same grade the 1 Series carries. All three combine stop and hold open duty in one concealed device, so the decision usually comes down to door opening width and finish rather than function.
8) What should I use instead of a concealed overhead stop when the door has no top rail prep for a concealed channel?
Use a surface mounted overhead stop. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is a heavy duty surface overhead door holder and stop with an 85 to 110 degree hold-open range, and the 79 Series is an extra heavy duty surface overhead holder and stop. Both mount to the face of the door and frame rather than into a routed channel. The Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is a concealed mount device using a 1 3/16 inch square channel, which requires the door and frame to be prepped for it, so surface units are the route on existing doors that cannot be routed.
9) I need an adjustable stop angle rather than a fixed one. What is the alternative to the Checkmate 1 Series?
Look at the ABH 1000 family. The ABH 1000A and 1000SA Series are heavy duty concealed mount overhead stops and holders with field-adjustable opening control, and the 1000RA Series is a heavy duty concealed mount stop and holder with adjustable opening control. The Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is specified with a 110 degree maximum opening and is ordered by door opening width, from 24 inch to 28 inch butts offset up through 43 1/16 inch to 48 inch butts offset. If the stop angle needs to be set or changed at the opening after install, the ABH adjustable units are the ones to price.
10) Which concealed overhead stop should I specify on a fire rated door opening?
The ABH 1000 Series is a heavy duty concealed mount overhead door stop carrying a fire rating, which is the one to put on a fire rated opening. The Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is a heavy duty concealed device with certain models certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.8 Grade 1 and UL listed stop functions. For an opening where the fire label governs the hardware schedule, confirm the exact ABH 1000 model against the door label requirements.
11) Can a concealed overhead stop be used on a double acting door?
The 1 Series Checkmate is listed for single or double acting door swing, so it can go on a double acting door as well as a conventional single swing. It's a slide track arm design, which is what lets the arm travel in the channel rather than fold like a scissor arm.
12) Can I get security screws with a concealed overhead door stop?
Torx security screws are an option on the 1 Series, selected at the time of order (yes or no). Worth taking in detention adjacent areas, schools, transit, and anywhere the exposed hardware gets picked at. Standard fasteners ship if you don't select it, so it is not something you can add later without sourcing the screws separately.
13) Is a heavy duty concealed overhead stop overkill for an office interior door?
Often, yes. The 1 Series is built for high traffic, heavy abuse commercial openings, and on a low-use tenant office door you're paying for spring and cam capacity you'll never load. Lighter concealed options exist: the Glynn-Johnson 410 Series is medium duty concealed, the Sargent 1530 is a medium duty concealed stop/holder that still opens to 110 degrees, and the Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 are standard duty concealed stops sized for 30 inch and 36 inch doors respectively. Save the heavy duty units for entrances, stairs, corridors, and anywhere a door gets thrown.
14) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Norton Rixson 1 Series concealed stop?
What you specify is door opening width and hanging method (butts offset versus center hung), function, finish, and whether you want Torx security screws. Get the width band and the hanging method right first, since a center hung pivot door and a butt hung door of the same leaf width fall on different part sizes.
15) I need a concealed door holder for a facility standardization program, is this suitable for schools and hospitals?
The 1 Series is a commercial-only device, heavy duty, and certain models carry ANSI/BHMA A156.8 Grade 1 with UL listed stop functions, which is what education and healthcare facility specs typically require. Seventeen finishes and five width bands let one series cover most of a building's openings. For rated openings specifically, the ABH 1000 Series concealed overhead is the one in this class carrying a fire rating.
16) Is the DORMA 711F a substitute for the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate?
Not generally. The DORMA 711F is a standard duty concealed friction stop covering a 21 inch to 27 inch door opening, so it is a friction-only device on a narrower opening range. The Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is heavy duty, offers friction, hold open, and stop functions, and covers door openings from 24 inch to 28 inch butts offset up through 43 1/16 inch to 48 inch butts offset. If the opening is wide or the schedule calls for hold open, the closer DORMA match is the 900 Series heavy duty stops and holders.
17) Can I standardize a whole building on one concealed overhead stop line if some doors are double acting?
The Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is rated for single or double acting doors and comes in friction, hold open, and stop functions across 17 finishes, which lets one series cover mixed openings. Among the peers, the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series is described as multi-function and non-handed heavy duty concealed, which similarly reduces the number of distinct part numbers on a schedule. Either approach cuts the spares a facility has to stock.
18) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 1 Series concealed stop come in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Seventeen finishes, which is wide enough to match nearly any existing suite: 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, 631 flat black coated, 632 bright brass, 633 satin brass, 637 bright bronze, 639 satin bronze, 645 bright nickel, 646 satin nickel, 652 satin chromium, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 696 satin brass painted, plus black suede powder and white suede powder. For a fleet of doors, 630 and 689 are the two that most commonly match existing closers and exit devices already in a commercial building.
