Norton Rixson 5023-90NBC-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 5020 floor closer handle a 250 lb interior door?
250 lbs is the rated door weight for the 5020 Series, and it's a standard duty commercial closer for interior openings. Door width matters as much as weight on a center hung closer, and the 5020 is ordered for a 36, 42, or 48 inch door leaf. If your leaf is heavier than 250 lbs or wider than 48 inches, this is the wrong closer and you want a heavy duty floor closer instead.
2) Can a floor closer be used where there is no deep floor pocket, like an upper floor with a concrete slab?
That's what the shallow depth 5020 Series is for. It's built to drop into a standard door frame installation rather than requiring the deep cement case a heavy duty floor closer needs, which is why it gets specified on the upper levels of multi-story buildings where slab depth is limited. The case is Cycolac and rust-proof, so it takes being buried in the floor.
3) Does the Norton Rixson 5020 work on a door that swings both directions?
Double acting is the whole point of the 5020. The door swings up to 130 degrees in either direction off a center hung pivot, so it suits two-way traffic openings, lobby doors, and back-of-house pairs where people push through both ways. It is non-handed as a closer body, though you still pick left or right hand when you order.
4) Will a Rixson 5020 floor closer work on an offset pivot or butt hinged door?
No. The 5020 is a center hung closer, mounted on the door's centerline with a matching top pivot, and the door has to be prepped for center hung pivots. A door hung on butt hinges or offset pivots needs a different closer type, either an offset pivot floor closer or an overhead closer. Swapping a butt hinged door onto this unit means re-prepping the door and frame.
5) Can the closing speed and latching be adjusted separately on the Rixson 5020?
Three independent valves: closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck. That means you can slow the main sweep for an accessible opening, keep a firm latch snap at the end, and still have backcheck stop the door from being thrown into an adjacent wall on a hard push. The backcheck is the reason this one gets specified on high traffic and wind-exposed vestibule doors.
6) Is a floor closer better than an overhead closer for a double acting door?
For a door that swings both ways, a concealed floor closer like the 5020 is usually the practical answer: it carries the door on a center hung pivot and controls it in both directions from below, with nothing on the door face to vandalize or collect grime. In-floor concealment also protects the mechanism from tampering. The trade-off is the install. A floor closer needs the floor prepped and the door prepped for center hung pivots, so on an existing butt hinged single-swing door an overhead closer is far less work.
7) Is the Rixson 5020 rated for exterior entrance doors?
The 5020 Series is specified for interior doors up to 250 lbs. For an exterior entrance leaf, which is typically heavier and wind-loaded, step up to a heavy duty floor closer rather than this shallow depth standard duty unit.
8) Does the Rixson 5020 come with a fixed spring size or is the closing force adjustable?
Spring size is fixed on the 5020, not field-adjustable like a rack-and-pinion overhead closer with a sizing screw. What you adjust in the field is timing, closing speed, latch speed and backcheck, through the three separate valves. So match the closer to the door leaf up front by weight, up to 250 lbs, and by width, 36, 42 or 48 inch.
9) Does the Norton Rixson 5020 have delayed action?
Delay function is included on the 5020, which gives slower traffic more time in the opening before the door begins its normal close. Combined with the separate closing and latch speed valves, it lets you tune a door for a healthcare corridor or a school entry without giving up a positive latch at the end of the cycle.
10) Can I match a Rixson 5020 floor closer to the other door hardware finishes in my building?
Thirteen finishes are offered on the 5020, covering the standard BHMA numbers most facilities are already standardized on: 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. For a fleet of openings, 626 satin chrome and 613 oil rubbed bronze are the usual matches to existing lever and closer hardware.
