Norton Rixson 5013-90ABC-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to specify handing for a Norton Rixson 50 Series floor closer?
Yes. It's a single acting closer, so it swings one direction only and comes left hand or right hand. Stand outside the opening (the key side), and if the hinge or pivot edge is on your left it's left hand. Getting this wrong on a floor closer is expensive, because the case is already cut into the floor by the time anyone notices. If you need the door to swing both ways, a single acting unit is the wrong choice entirely.
2) Can I use a center hung floor closer on a door that's currently on butt hinges or offset pivots?
No, not without re-prepping the opening. The 50 Series is a center hung closer, meaning the door pivots on its own centerline with the closer body set in the floor under the leaf and a 340 top pivot carrying the head. A butt hinged or offset pivot door swings on an axis at the jamb edge, so the door, frame and floor all need different prep. If the opening is already center hung and you're replacing a floor closer, this is the direct type match.
3) Does the Norton Rixson 5013NBC hold the door open?
Two arm functions are offered: automatic hold open and non-hold open. The base 5013NBC configuration is a non-hold-open closer, so if you need the door to stand open at the swing point, order the automatic hold open arm function. Pick non-hold-open for anything on a fire rated or smoke rated opening, or anywhere a door standing open defeats the purpose.
4) Why choose a shallow depth floor closer instead of a standard depth one?
Floor depth is the deciding factor. The 50 Series is a shallow depth unit, which is what you want on upper levels of a multi-story building where you're cutting into a structural slab or a topping pour and there simply isn't room for a full depth cement case. If you're at grade with a thick slab and no depth limit, a standard depth closer is the usual choice. Check the available recess depth against the manufacturer's template before you commit to either.
5) What swing degree should I order on a 50 Series floor closer?
90 and 105 degrees are the two stops offered. Order 105 where the door has clear wall beside it and you want a wider opening for carts, gurneys or furniture moves. Order 90 where a return wall, adjacent door or millwork would let the leaf hit something past square. The stop is built into the unit, so this isn't adjustable after the fact.
6) Is the 554 arm included with the Norton Rixson 50 Series, or ordered separately?
The 554 concealed arm is a yes/no selection made when you order, so it isn't automatic. Choose Yes if you're building a complete opening and want the concealed arm, which locks by an arm bolt to the closer spindle and leaves no adjusting screws showing on the door face. Choose No if you already have a usable arm on site, common when you're swapping the closer body only on an existing center hung opening.
7) Can I adjust the closing speed and latch speed separately on a Rixson floor closer?
Separate independent valves control closing speed, latch speed and backcheck, so you can slow the sweep without killing the latch, or tune the last few degrees to push a latch bolt home without slamming. Backcheck is the third valve, and it's what stops someone throwing the door into the adjacent wall. The valves are reached through the heel of the door, so the unit stays serviceable after the floor is finished.
8) Can I adjust the spring power on the 50 Series floor closer if the door isn't latching?
No. The 50 Series is a fixed size spring, not an adjustable or sized-on-site closer, so the power is set by the model you order. That makes ordering by the right door width important up front: 36, 42 and 48 inch options are offered, and the width you pick is what determines whether the closer has the power to shut that leaf. If a door is undersized or oversized for the unit, the fix is the correct closer, not a spring adjustment.
9) Is a floor closer better than a surface closer for a door that keeps getting vandalized?
For tamper exposure, in-floor is the stronger answer. The 50 Series sits concealed in the floor with the 554 arm hiding the adjusting screws on the door face, so there's nothing on the door for someone to unscrew, hang off, or spray. A surface mounted closer puts the body and arm at eye level where it can be pulled off the door. The trade-off is install: a floor closer needs a floor recess cut and the door center hung, which is a much bigger job than screwing a surface closer to the head.
10) What comes in the box with the Norton Rixson 5013NBC floor closer?
The package includes the 340 top pivot along with wood and machine screws. The extended spindles, in 1/2 inch increments up to 2 inches, are a separate selection at order time, as is the 554 concealed arm. What is not in the box is anything to do with the floor: the recess cutting, the grout or patch, and any threshold work are on the installer.
11) Does the Norton Rixson 50 Series floor closer have delayed action?
Delay function is included on the 50 Series, which is what lets a door hang open a moment before it starts to close. That's the feature people want on healthcare and school openings where someone is pushing a cart or a wheelchair through and needs the extra seconds before the door starts back.
12) Will a floor closer rust out in a cement floor?
The 50 Series case is Cycolac, a rust-proof cement case, which is the part that matters when the unit is buried in a floor slab and exposed to mop water and floor cleaner year after year. It also carries interchangeable spindle adapters, so the closer body can be serviced or the spindle changed without pulling the case out of the floor.
13) What finishes can I get on a Rixson 50 Series floor closer to match the rest of my door hardware?
Thirteen finishes are offered, which covers most standardization programs: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 black painted, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, plus BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. On a floor closer the finish shows on the cover plate and top pivot, so match it to the pivots and push hardware on the rest of the building, not to the paint.
