Norton Rixson 2-436-652 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I pick the right size Norton Rixson 2 Series concealed overhead stop for my door width?
Size it off the door width and how the leaf is hung. The 2 Series Checkmate is built in five door opening ranges: 18 to 24 inches butts offset; 24-1/16 to 30 inches butts offset or 27 to 32 inches center hung; 30-1/16 to 36 inches butts offset or 32-1/16 to 38-1/2 inches center hung; 36-1/16 to 42 inches butts offset or 38-9/16 to 45 inches center hung; and 42-1/16 to 48 inches butts offset or 45-1/16 to 48 inches center hung. Note that the smallest size is rated for butt hung doors only, so a center hung leaf narrower than 27 inches falls outside the range. Butt hung and center hung doors take different sizes at the same width because the pivot point sits in a different place, so get that settled before you order.
2) Will the Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 2 Series Checkmate is a single-thickness device for standard 1-3/4 inch doors, and it mounts through a 3/4 inch square channel that has to be routed into the door and frame. 1-3/8 inches is the common older interior door thickness and it is outside what this unit is built for. If your leaf is thinner than 1-3/4 inches, a surface applied overhead stop such as the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series avoids the concealed channel prep altogether.
3) What is the difference between the stop, hold open, friction and multi-function versions of the Checkmate 2 Series?
Four functions are orderable. Stop simply limits the swing, out to the 110 degree maximum. Hold open catches the door and holds it there until it is released. Friction holds the leaf anywhere in the swing by drag instead of a positive catch, which is what you want on a door people nudge to different positions. Multi-function is the one to order when the use may change: it ships as a stop and converts to hold open or friction in the field with the included 5012 PKG adapter kit, so you can change behavior later without pulling the unit out of the door.
4) Is the Norton Rixson 2 Series heavy duty enough for a busy building entrance?
It is not the unit for that opening. The 2 Series Checkmate is a standard duty commercial control intended for moderate traffic on medium-weight interior doors. For a high traffic entrance or a heavy leaf, go up to a heavy duty concealed overhead stop and holder: ZenSupply carries the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series, the ABH 1000 Series, and the Sargent 690, all heavy duty concealed mount units, plus the extra heavy duty surface mounted Glynn-Johnson 79 Series if the door is already hung and you would rather not rout it.
5) Can a concealed overhead stop be used on a double acting door that swings both ways?
Yes, the 2 Series Checkmate is rated for single or double acting doors, which is why it is sized for center hung leaves as well as butt hung ones. On the center hung side the sizes run 27 to 32 inches, 32-1/16 to 38-1/2 inches, 38-9/16 to 45 inches, and 45-1/16 to 48 inches. Whichever way the door swings, the arm rides a slide track and the unit tops out at 110 degrees of opening.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate concealed door stop?
The Sargent 1530 is the nearest match in the concealed overhead group: it is a concealed mount door stop/holder with a 110 degree opening, the same maximum opening range the 2 Series Checkmate works to, and it carries a Grade 1 rating alongside the Checkmate's ANSI/BHMA A156.8 Grade 1 certification on certain models. Both mount concealed in the head frame rather than on the face of the door, so the head prep and the finished look are comparable. The Glynn-Johnson 410 Series is the other concealed holder and stop close to the Checkmate in weight class, listed at medium duty against the Checkmate's standard duty rating.
7) The Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate is rated standard duty. What concealed overhead stop should I use on a high-traffic opening instead?
The 2 Series Checkmate is a standard duty unit. For an opening that calls for a heavier concealed overhead stop, the Sargent 690 is a heavy duty overhead concealed door stop/holder with ANSI Grade One compliance, the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series is a heavy duty concealed overhead door holder and stop, the ABH 1000 Series is a heavy-duty concealed mount overhead door stop, and the DORMA 900 Series covers heavy duty stops and holders. All four keep the concealed head-frame mounting, so the substitution changes the duty class rather than the mounting method.
8) Is a Glynn-Johnson 70 or 79 Series a drop-in substitute for a Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate?
No. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series and 79 Series are surface overhead door holders and stops, while the 2 Series Checkmate is a concealed mount unit that sits in a routed channel in the head frame. The 70 Series can look like a match on paper because its hold-open range runs 85 to 110 degrees and the Checkmate works to a 110 degree maximum opening, but the frame and door preparation are entirely different: surface units mount to the face of the door and the soffit, concealed units require the head-frame rout. If the frame is already cut for a concealed device, stay with a concealed unit such as the Sargent 1530 or the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series.
9) Should I use a concealed overhead door stop or a surface mounted one?
It comes down to whether you can prep the door. The Checkmate 2 Series is a concealed unit: the 3/4 inch square channel is routed into the door and frame so nothing shows when the door is closed, which is the reason to pick it in a lobby, a patient corridor, or anywhere the hardware should disappear. That prep is the tradeoff. If the doors are already hung and you are not going to rout them, a surface overhead stop mounts to the face of the door and the frame instead, and ZenSupply carries the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series with an 85 to 110 degree hold open range and the extra heavy duty 79 Series for that work.
10) What is the closest match to a Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate from another manufacturer?
The nearest like-for-like ZenSupply stocks is the Sargent 1530, a concealed mount door stop and holder with the same 110 degree opening and a Grade 1 rating. If all you need is friction hold on a narrow opening, the DORMA 711F is a standard duty concealed friction stop covering a 21 to 27 inch door opening. Both are concealed units, so the door and frame prep is comparable to the Checkmate's, and neither one converts between functions in the field the way the multi-function Checkmate does with its 5012 PKG adapter kit.
11) I just need a plain concealed stop for one 36 inch office door. Do I have to buy the multi-function unit?
No. Order the Checkmate 2 Series in the Stop function and the 30-1/16 to 36 inch butts offset size and you are done. If you want something simpler still, the Don-Jo 3024 is a standard duty concealed overhead door stop in satin stainless made for 36 inch doors, with the 3023 covering 30 inch doors. The reason to pay for the Checkmate instead is the option set: hold open and friction functions, 17 finishes, and field conversion between functions.
12) Does the Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate meet ANSI Grade 1 for a spec job?
Certain models of the 2 Series carry ANSI/BHMA A156.8 Grade 1 certification, and the stop functions are UL listed. A156.8 is the standard written specifically for door controls, overhead stops and holders, so it is the right citation to put on a submittal for this type of hardware. Grade 1 is the highest of the three performance levels in a BHMA standard. Match the certification to the exact function and size you are ordering when the specification calls it out.
13) Will an overhead stop wreck the door or the frame when someone throws the door open?
The Checkmate 2 Series does not stop the leaf dead on contact. A heavy shock absorber spring compresses through 5 to 7 degrees before the dead stop, so the energy comes out of the swing gradually instead of hitting the hinges and the frame all at once. The slider cam and shock block take the wear. That is sized for moderate traffic on medium-weight interior doors, so on a heavy exterior leaf or an opening that gets abused, move to a heavy duty concealed unit like the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series.
14) I only need a concealed overhead stop on one 36 inch door, no hold open. What is the simpler option compared with a Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate?
The Don-Jo 3024 is a concealed overhead door stop in satin stainless steel built for 36 inch doors, and the Don-Jo 3023 is the same unit for 30 inch doors; both are standard duty, the same duty class as the 2 Series Checkmate. They are fixed to a single door width and a single finish, so ordering is a one-line decision. The Checkmate is the choice when the job needs range instead: door openings from 18 inch through 48 inch butts offset, four functions including stop, hold open, friction, and multi-function, and seventeen finishes to match across an opening group.
15) What concealed overhead unit gives a friction hold on a narrow interior door, the Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate or the DORMA 711F?
Both do it, and the difference is range. The DORMA 711F is a standard duty concealed friction stop covering a 21 to 27 inch door opening, a single fixed band. The 2 Series Checkmate is offered in a friction function directly, and the units that ship as a stop convert to hold open or friction in the field with the included 5012 PKG adapter kit. Its narrow-door coverage spans 18 to 24 inch butts offset and 24-1/16 to 30 inch butts offset, so a 27 inch door falls inside its second size band with room on either side of the DORMA range.
16) Which concealed overhead stops let you set the opening angle in the field the way the Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate does?
The 2 Series Checkmate uses an adjustable slide track arm that is set during installation for the desired opening angle up to its 110 degree maximum. On the cross-brand side, the ABH 1000A Series is a heavy-duty concealed mount overhead stop and holder with field-adjustable opening control, and the ABH 1000RA and 1000SA Series are heavy-duty concealed stops and holders with adjustable opening control. The practical difference is duty class rather than adjustability: the ABH units are heavy-duty, the Checkmate is standard duty for moderate traffic on medium-weight interior doors.
17) The spec calls for a fire rated concealed overhead stop. What should I look at alongside the Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate?
Take the ABH 1000 Series to the submittal: it is a heavy-duty concealed mount overhead door stop offered with a fire rating. The 2 Series Checkmate answers the adjacent code question, with UL listed stop functions and ANSI/BHMA A156.8 Grade 1 certification on certain models, and it is a standard duty unit rather than heavy-duty. Confirm which of the two the drawing is actually calling out, because the fire rating and the UL listed stop function are separate lines on a hardware schedule.
18) What finishes does the Norton Rixson Checkmate 2 Series come in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Seventeen finishes are available on the 2 Series Checkmate: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 black painted, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless steel, 652 satin chromium, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. Those are BHMA finish numbers, so 630 on this stop is the same satin stainless designation as 630 on your levers and hinges. For fleet work, 630, 626-family chrome tones, and 689 aluminum are the ones that usually already exist across a building.
19) Can I get this concealed door stop with tamper resistant screws for a school or a secure area?
Torx security screws are an option on the 2 Series Checkmate, selected when you order rather than added later, so specify them up front on dorms, restrooms, detention-adjacent spaces, or anywhere the hardware gets picked at. Skip the option and the unit ships with standard fasteners. Either way the screws are largely hidden once installed, since this is a concealed mount unit that sits in the door and frame rather than on the face.
20) For a double acting interior door, how does the Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate compare with the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series?
The 2 Series Checkmate is built for single or double acting doors and offers a multi-function version that works as stop, hold open, or friction. The Glynn-Johnson 100 Series is a multi-function, non-handed, commercial grade concealed overhead door holder and stop in the heavy duty class. Non-handed and double acting are two different things on a schedule: non-handed means one part number covers left and right hand openings, double acting means the leaf swings both directions. Match the Checkmate to a medium-weight moderate-traffic leaf and the 100 Series where the opening is specified heavy duty.
21) The existing concealed overhead stops in the building are satin stainless Don-Jo units. Will a Norton Rixson 2 Series Checkmate match them?
On finish, yes. The Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 concealed overhead door stops are supplied in satin stainless steel, and the 2 Series Checkmate is offered in 630 Satin Stainless Steel among its finish options, along with 629 Bright Stainless Steel if the trim on the newer openings is bright. Where they part company is scope: the Don-Jo units are sized to 30 inch and 36 inch doors as stops, while the Checkmate is ordered by door opening band from 18 inch to 48 inch and by function, so hold open or friction openings in the same building can carry the same finish and the same head detail.
