Norton Rixson 253001-PKG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a floor closer cement case on an existing concrete slab, or does it have to go in during the pour?
Either works, but the slab has to be opened up. The install sequence for this cast iron case is to survey the floor and verify the structure is suitable, excavate an opening to the case depth, set and align the case to the door swing path, anchor it with concrete anchors and let it cure, then drop the closer in. On an existing slab that means saw cutting and breaking out the pocket first, which is why most retrofits use a surface or overhead concealed closer instead.
2) Will this floor closer setup work on a double acting door that swings both ways?
No. The Norton Rixson floor closer arrangement here is single acting, so the door swings one direction only. A center hung double acting opening, the kind used on traffic doors and some entrances, needs a double acting floor closer instead.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Norton Rixson floor closer cement case if the closer body is also needed?
The Norton Rixson cement case is the cast iron housing only - it is the buried box that receives a Norton Rixson floor closer, and the closer itself is ordered separately. If a single order covering both the case and the operating closer is preferred, the Dorma BTS75V is supplied as a floor closer body with cement case, less spindle, and is a Grade 1 non hold open unit. The Norton Rixson case is likewise ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and is specified as non hold open, so the operating character is comparable; the difference is that the BTS75V bundles the body while the Norton Rixson package covers the housing.
4) We already have a serviceable floor pocket - what should we order instead of a new cement case?
If the existing cast iron pocket in the slab is sound and correctly aligned, there is no need to break out floor to set a new case; a body-only closer is the right order. The Dorma BTS80 is offered as a concealed floor closer body only and is rated heavy duty, matching the heavy duty, high traffic service level the Norton Rixson cement case is built for. Order a new cement case only when the slab is being opened, the existing pocket is damaged, or the closer being installed is a Norton Rixson unit that the current pocket was not machined to receive.
5) Is a floor closer body the same thing as a cement case?
No, and confusing the two is a common ordering error. The cement case is the cast iron box set into the slab; it holds no hydraulics and provides the housing and alignment for the closer that drops into it. The Dorma BTS80 is the opposite half of that pairing - a concealed floor closer body only, with no case included. The Dorma BTS75V is the one item in the comparable group that carries both, listed as a floor closer body with cement case, less spindle. For a Norton Rixson closer in a new slab, the cement case and the closer are two separate line items.
6) Does a fire rated opening change which floor closer package to use?
On a labeled opening the closer assembly must carry the listing the door and frame require, and that is determined by the closer body rather than the cast iron cement case. Worth flagging when comparing: the Dorma BTS80 concealed floor closer body is not fire rated, so it does not belong on a labeled opening regardless of the case it sits in. The Norton Rixson cement case is an ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 commercial housing built for heavy duty, high traffic service - confirm the fire listing on the closer being dropped into it before the slab work is scheduled.
7) Does this floor closer hold the door open?
No hold open on this one. It is a non hold open arrangement, so the door returns to closed every cycle. That is the usual requirement on fire rated and smoke barrier openings where a door cannot be parked open. The Dorma BTS75V is also catalogued as NHO, non hold open, if you are cross shopping.
8) Is a cast iron cement case strong enough for a school or hospital entrance that sees constant use?
That is what it is built for. The case is cast iron, rated heavy duty, and carries a high traffic rating, with the assembly certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, which is the top performance grade for door closers. Typical applications are office buildings, schools, healthcare, government and municipal buildings, and multi tenant residential.
9) Can a floor closer cement case go in an exterior entrance where water gets tracked in?
It is suited to both interior and exterior door systems, and the cast iron is specified as corrosion resistant. The install notes call out drainage as something to confirm during the site survey, so check that the pocket location will not sit in standing water before you cut the slab.
10) Why choose a concealed floor closer over a surface mounted overhead closer?
Looks and durability. A floor closer buries the whole mechanism in the slab so nothing shows on the door or frame, which is why it is used on glass storefront entrances and architectural lobbies where an overhead arm would be visible. It also takes abuse better in high traffic. The tradeoff is the install: the floor has to be excavated and the case anchored and cured. If the slab cannot be opened, use an overhead closer.
11) What other concealed floor closers could I look at besides Norton Rixson?
Dormakaba is the main cross brand option. The Dorma BTS80 is sold as a concealed floor closer body only, rated heavy duty, and the BTS75V is a Grade 1 body that comes with its cement case, less spindle. The BTS80 body only route means sourcing a case separately, the same way the Norton Rixson cement case is bought separately from the closer.
12) Do I need to align the cement case to anything specific before I anchor it?
Yes, and it is the step that decides whether the door ever works right. The case has to be set in the prepared opening in line with the door swing path and the frame position before you anchor it, because the closer spindle that comes up out of it has to land under the pivot point of the door. Once the anchors are in and the concrete has cured you have no adjustment left in the case itself.
13) Does the Norton Rixson cement case work on a double acting center hung door?
The Norton Rixson floor closer cement case is specified as single acting, so it suits openings where the door swings one direction. For a double acting center hung application, the case and closer combination must be selected for that swing. Among the comparable floor closers, the Dorma BTS80 is a concealed floor closer body offered as a heavy duty unit and the BTS75V is a Grade 1 non hold open body supplied with its own cement case - confirm the swing requirement of the opening before committing to either housing, since the case is cast into the slab and cannot be changed after the pour.
14) For a hold open floor closer application, is the Norton Rixson cement case still the right choice?
Hold open is a function of the closer body, not of the cast iron case, so the Norton Rixson cement case is specified without a hold open feature and the hold open decision is made when the closer is selected. Note that the Dorma BTS75V, which ships as a body with cement case, is a non hold open unit, so it is not the substitute for an opening that must stand open. Select a Norton Rixson closer with the hold open function for the case, or specify a hold open body separately.
15) Is this case for residential doors or commercial only?
Commercial. It is classed as a commercial door control, heavy duty, for high traffic openings. A house door does not justify cutting a pocket in the slab, and a residential entry is better served by a surface mounted closer.
