Norton Rixson 2018B-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Norton Rixson 2018B soffit plate actually do?
The 2018B is a mounting plate for Norton Rixson door closers used where the frame stop is too narrow to mount the closer's arm hardware directly. It gives the closer a solid mounting surface at the soffit of the frame in limited clearance openings, so the closer can be installed and operate normally instead of being ruled out by the frame profile. It is an accessory, not a closer itself, so you order it alongside the closer or to correct an existing install.
2) Will the 2018B soffit plate work with any brand of door closer?
It is built for Norton Rixson closer systems and its hole pattern is laid out for standard Norton Rixson closer installations. Treat it as a Norton Rixson part. If you are mounting another manufacturer's closer on a narrow frame stop, get that maker's own soffit or drop plate rather than adapting this one.
3) Is the Norton Rixson 2018B the same thing as a push plate actuator for automatic doors?
No, and this catches people out because both get called plates. The 2018B is a closer mounting soffit plate at the frame head. If what you need is a wall or jamb switch that a user presses to trigger an operator, that is a push plate actuator: the SDC 480 Series in 18 gauge stainless, the Camden CM-40 4-1/2 inch or CM-60 6 inch round switch, the Locknetics PPH-100-PL large round plate, or the Alarm Controls PD Series vandal resistant plates with pneumatic time delay. Those wire into access control; the 2018B does not.
4) Is the Norton Rixson 2018B soffit plate an electric door actuator like the SDC 480 push plate?
No. The Norton Rixson 2018B is a narrow frame stop soffit plate - a high-strength metal mounting bracket that gives a Norton Rixson door closer a stable mounting surface on frames with limited stop clearance. It has no switch, no wiring, and does nothing electrically. The SDC 480 Series is a push plate actuator built with 18 gauge stainless steel construction, meaning it is a wired switch a user presses to signal an automatic operator or release a lock. If the job needs a mechanical closer mounting plate, the 2018B is the part; if it needs a wall switch to trigger a door, the 480 Series is the part. They are not interchangeable in either direction.
5) If I need a wall-mounted button to open a door rather than a closer mounting plate, what should I be looking at instead of the 2018B?
The 2018B is a soffit plate that supports a Norton Rixson door closer at the frame stop, so it will not actuate anything. For a user-operated opening device, the comparable actuators include the Camden CM-40 Series all-active switch in a 4-1/2 inch round format and the CM-60 Series in a 6 inch round format, the CM-60 available wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter. The Locknetics PPH-100-PL is a large round push plate supplied with a box. Choose by mounting format and whether you need a wired run back to the operator.
6) Do I need to drill the 2018B plate before mounting it?
No drilling of the plate itself. The 2018B arrives with pre-drilled holes matched to standard Norton Rixson closer mounting. Follow the installation instructions that came with the closer for hole locations in the frame, and confirm the closer model's mounting pattern before you fasten anything.
7) For an ADA entry vestibule, is a Norton Rixson 2018B part of the actuator package?
No. The 2018B is a narrow frame stop soffit plate for Norton Rixson door closers in commercial and institutional openings, and it belongs to the closer installation, not the actuation package. For vestibule entries, the SDC 480V Series is a vestibule push plate actuator with dual switch activation, and the SDC 480AA Series is a 36 inch by 6 inch Ingress-R.E.X touch panel column for ADA compliant access control. Those two address the push-to-open side of the vestibule; the 2018B addresses how the closer mounts to a tight frame stop.
8) I need a hold-open delay after the door is released - does the 2018B do that?
It does not. The 2018B is a passive metal mounting plate for a Norton Rixson closer and has no timing function. Timed release comes from the actuator side: the Alarm Controls JP Series is a pneumatic time delay jumbo push plate, and the Alarm Controls PD Series covers pneumatic time delay PD, PN, PS and PT vandal resistant push plates. The JP is the oversized plate format and the PD group is the vandal resistant format, so pick based on plate size versus abuse resistance at that opening.
9) What do I use if the activation point has to be away from the door frame entirely?
The Norton Rixson 2018B mounts at the frame stop and only serves the closer, so it has no bearing on where a user activates the door. For an activation point set away from the opening, the SDC BP Series square bollard posts are 6 inch by 6 inch, with the BPS6 as a 42 inch surface mount and the BPG6 as a 54 inch in-ground version. Those carry the actuator out into the approach path, while wall-mounted plates such as the Locknetics PPH-100-PL large round push plate with box stay at the opening.
10) Is the 2018B soffit plate suitable for high traffic commercial doors?
Yes. It is a commercial-rated part made of high-strength metal, intended for offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, multi-tenant residential and warehouse doors. Spreading the closer mounting load across the plate also cuts wear on the door and frame in openings that cycle constantly.
