Norton Rixson 253000-PKG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Rixson 25 Series cement case include the floor closer itself?
No. The Norton Rixson 253000-PKG is the cement case only, the box that gets set into the floor slab to form the cavity. The 25 Series closer body is a separate purchase and fits into the case after the concrete has cured. Order both if you are building a new opening from scratch.
2) Is this cement case for a single-acting or double-acting door?
The spec on the 253000 case lists the door swing as single acting, so it is set up for a door that swings one way only. Orientation in the slab follows the swing direction, so confirm which way the leaf goes before you pour.
3) Is this floor closer case rated for a high-traffic entrance?
Yes. The Rixson 253000 cement case carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and is rated heavy duty for high-traffic commercial use, which is the top grade for door controls. That covers school entries, hospital corridors, office lobbies and retail front doors.
4) I'm replacing an old Rixson floor closer. Do I have to replace the cement case too?
Not necessarily. If the existing case in the slab is sound, correctly aligned and sized for a 25 Series body, you can reuse it and just drop in a new closer. Order the 253000-PKG case when the original is corroded, cracked, misaligned, or when you are cutting a fresh opening in the floor, since replacing it means breaking out and repouring concrete.
5) Is the Dorma BTS75V a substitute for the Norton Rixson 253000-PKG cement case?
Not as a like-for-like case swap. The Norton Rixson 253000-PKG is the cement case alone, the cast iron floor cavity that receives a Rixson 25 Series closer body. The Dorma BTS75V is sold as a floor closer body with its own cement case, less spindle, so it is a complete closer package rather than a replacement case for an existing Rixson 25 Series body. Buy the BTS75V when you are changing the whole floor closer system; stay with the 253000-PKG when the Rixson 25 Series body is being kept or replaced in kind and only the buried case needs to be poured in. Both carry Grade 1.
6) What do I order if the floor cavity and case are already in place and I only need the closer mechanism?
A body-only floor closer is the right call there. The Dorma BTS80 is sold as a concealed floor closer body only, heavy duty, so it addresses the mechanism without a new case. The Norton Rixson 253000-PKG goes the other direction, it is the cement case by itself, which is what you need when the concrete is being opened up or the buried case is corroded and the closer body is staying. Confirm the existing case matches the body you are ordering before committing either way.
7) Can I drop a Dorma BTS80 body into a Rixson 25 Series cement case?
Do not plan on it. The Norton Rixson 253000-PKG is the factory-original case engineered to match Rixson 25 Series closer bodies, so its cavity dimensions and mounting points are cut for that body. The Dorma BTS80 is a body-only unit from the BTS80 Series and is not a Rixson 25 Series part. If you are moving to a Dorma body, plan on that manufacturer's matching case, such as the arrangement supplied with the BTS75V, which comes with its own cement case.
8) Can this cement case go in an exterior doorway where water gets in?
It is built for both interior and exterior openings, with galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance. On an exterior opening, work out drainage during floor prep, that is called out as part of verifying concrete depth and reinforcement before the case is set.
9) What is involved in installing a floor closer cement case in an existing slab?
You cut or core the slab to the template dimensions, set the case level and oriented to the door swing, then grout or concrete it in and let it cure before the closer body goes in. Use the manufacturer's template to mark the cavity, and check depth and reinforcement in the existing slab first. Final step is test-fitting the 25 Series closer body to confirm alignment and clearances.
10) What other floor closers does ZenSupply carry besides the Rixson 25 Series?
Two Dormakaba options sit alongside it. The Dorma BTS80 is a heavy-duty concealed floor closer body only, no case included. The Dorma BTS75V comes as a body with cement case, less spindle, and is Grade 1 with a non-hold-open function. If you want a closer and case together in one order rather than sourcing the Rixson case and body separately, the BTS75V is the package to look at.
11) Is a floor closer the right choice, or should I use a surface closer?
A floor closer like the Rixson 25 Series is for center-hung doors where the pivot carries the leaf and you want no hardware visible on the door or frame, which is why they show up on glass entrances and monumental doors. The tradeoff is the slab work: you need a cavity cut and a cement case grouted in. On a standard butt-hung door with a frame head, a surface closer installs in a fraction of the time and needs no concrete.
12) For a high-traffic entrance, how does the Norton Rixson 25 Series cement case compare with the Dorma BTS80 on duty level?
Both are rated heavy duty. The Norton Rixson 253000-PKG is heavy duty with a high traffic rating and ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification, and the Dorma BTS80 is likewise listed as heavy duty in the BTS80 Series. The practical difference is scope rather than duty, since the 253000-PKG covers the floor case that carries the door load and the BTS80 is the closer body. On a new high-traffic opening you would be specifying a case and a body together; on a retrofit you order only the piece being replaced.
13) On a fire-rated opening, is the Dorma BTS80 an option alongside the Rixson 25 Series cement case?
The Dorma BTS80 is listed with a fire rating of no, so it should not be specified where the opening requires fire-rated door control. The Norton Rixson 253000-PKG is the cement case for Rixson 25 Series center-hung closers, ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and commercial rated; for a fire-rated opening, verify the rating on the closer body and the complete door assembly with the manufacturer's listing before ordering either component.
