Norton Rixson 6ADJ-136-613E – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 6ADJ concealed stop work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 6ADJ Checkmate needs a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, so a 1-3/8 inch door (the common older interior thickness) cannot take it. The unit is concealed, which means the door gets routed for a channel 1-1/4 inches wide and 1/2 inch deep, and a 1-3/8 inch leaf does not leave enough material around that pocket. On a 1-3/4 inch commercial door it drops in as intended.
2) Do I need to order a left hand and a right hand version of the 6ADJ door stop?
No, the Checkmate 6ADJ is non-handed, so one part number covers both hands. It also works single or double acting, which means the same unit suits a standard swing door or a double acting door on center hung pivots. For a fleet of openings that mixes hands, that is one SKU per width and finish instead of two.
3) Is a concealed overhead stop like the 6ADJ better than a surface mounted one?
The concealed 6ADJ mounts into a routed channel in the top of the door and the frame soffit, so nothing shows when the door is closed. That is the choice where appearance matters or where an exposed arm would get grabbed. The tradeoff is prep: the door has to be routed 1-1/4 inches wide by 1/2 inch deep and be at least 1-3/4 inches thick, which rules out retrofitting a door you cannot machine. If the door is already hung and you don't want to pull and mill it, a surface mounted overhead stop is the practical alternative, and ZenSupply carries the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series and the extra heavy duty 79 Series in surface mount.
4) Is the 6ADJ Checkmate rated heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is a medium duty unit built for moderate traffic on medium weight interior or exterior doors. A busy main entrance, a stairwell that gets kicked open, or a heavy exterior leaf is beyond what it is intended for. For those openings step up to a heavy duty concealed stop such as the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series or the Sargent 690, both of which we carry as heavy duty concealed overhead stop and holder lines.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Norton Rixson 6ADJ Checkmate concealed stop and holder from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 1530 is the nearest match. Like the 6ADJ Checkmate, it is a concealed mount door stop and holder with a 110 degree opening, and it is listed as medium duty and Grade 1 - the same duty level and grade the 6ADJ Checkmate carries. Both are concealed units, so both need the door and frame prepped for a channel rather than a surface-applied arm.
6) The door cannot be routed for a concealed channel - what overhead stop works instead of the 6ADJ Checkmate?
Go to a surface mounted unit. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is a heavy duty surface overhead door holder and stop with an 85 to 110 degree hold-open range, and the 79 Series is an extra heavy duty surface overhead holder and stop. A surface unit mounts to the face of the door and frame, where the 6ADJ Checkmate is concealed and requires a routed channel 1-1/4 inches wide and 1/2 inch deep plus a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness.
7) Will the Don-Jo 3023 or 3024 substitute for a Norton Rixson 6ADJ Checkmate?
They are not a like-for-like swap. The Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 are standard duty concealed overhead door stops built for a single door width each - 30 inches for the 3023 and 36 inches for the 3024 - and are offered in satin stainless steel. The 6ADJ Checkmate is a medium duty stop and holder covering door openings from 24 inches through 48 inches in five ranges, in finishes from 605 bright brass through 630 satin stainless steel, 690 dark bronze, and suede powder coats. If the opening is outside a Don-Jo size or you need hold-open, the Checkmate is the one that covers it.
8) For a narrow door around 24 inches, does the DORMA 711F work where the 6ADJ Checkmate does not?
The DORMA 711F is a standard duty concealed friction stop covering a 21 to 27 inch door opening, which reaches below the 6ADJ Checkmate's smallest range of 24 to 28 inches. The 711F is a friction stop; the 6ADJ Checkmate is an adjustable stop and holder with a heavy shock absorber spring giving 5 to 7 degrees of compression before dead stop. On a 24 to 27 inch opening either size fits, so the choice comes down to whether you want hold-open and shock absorption or a friction stop.
9) Does the 6ADJ hold the door open, or does it only stop it?
The Checkmate 6ADJ is a stop and holder, so it both limits the swing and holds the leaf open at the set point. Ordered as the stop function, the adjustment is in where the door stops, up to 110 degrees. If you specifically do not want any hold open, say on a fire rated opening where the door has to be free to close, that is worth settling before you order, because a hold open on a fire door has to be released by the alarm system.
10) Does the 6ADJ Checkmate come with mounting screws or do I order those separately?
Mounting hardware is included. The unit ships with a complete screw packet for wood installation plus machine screws for door and frame mounting, so a hollow metal frame and a wood door are both covered out of the box. What you do have to decide at order time is fasteners: Torx security screws are an option on the exposed fasteners, specified yes or no when you order, for areas where you want tamper resistance.
11) Is the Norton Rixson 6ADJ ANSI Grade 1?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.8, though the certification applies to certain models in the Checkmate range rather than blanket across every configuration, so if your spec calls out A156.8 Grade 1 by test report, tie it to the exact width and finish you are ordering. For an institutional standardization package that is the detail the spec writer will want in hand.
12) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 6ADJ and the Sargent 1530 concealed stop?
Both are medium duty Grade 1 concealed mount stop/holders with a 110 degree opening, so on paper they land in the same place for a standard commercial interior opening. The 6ADJ Checkmate is the adjustable low profile unit with a slide track arm and 5 to 7 degrees of spring compression before the dead stop, ordered by door width across five ranges from 24 to 48 inches. If you are standardizing a building on one manufacturer's door control package, that is usually what decides between them rather than the specs.
13) Is there a cheaper concealed overhead stop than the Norton Rixson 6ADJ for a light interior door?
For a light duty interior opening where you just need to keep the door off the wall, the Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 are standard duty concealed overhead stops in satin stainless, sized for 30 inch and 36 inch doors respectively. They are a simpler, fixed-size answer than the adjustable medium duty 6ADJ. Where the door sees real traffic or you need to dial in the stop angle, the Checkmate's adjustable slide track and shock spring are what you are paying for.
14) Can I adjust the stop angle on the 6ADJ after it's installed, or is it fixed at the factory?
Adjustable in the field. The slide track arm sets where the door stops, anywhere up to the 110 degree maximum, so if a wall return or a piece of casework turns up in the swing path you reset the stop rather than replacing the unit. That is the practical difference from a fixed concealed stop. ABH's 1000A, 1000RA and 1000SA Series are the heavy duty equivalents if you want field-adjustable opening control on a heavier door.
15) What do I have to specify when ordering a Norton Rixson 6ADJ Checkmate?
Three things. Door opening width, from the five ranges between 24 and 48 inches; finish, from sixteen BHMA options; and whether you want Torx security screws on the exposed fasteners, which is a required yes or no on the order. Handing is not one of them, since the unit is non-handed and works single or double acting.
16) Is there a simpler concealed overhead stop if I do not need the hold-open function?
Yes. The ABH 1000 Series is a heavy-duty concealed mount overhead door stop with a fire rating and no holder in its description, and the DORMA 711F is a standard duty concealed friction stop covering a 21 to 27 inch door opening. The Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 are standard duty concealed overhead door stops in satin stainless steel, sized for 30 inch and 36 inch doors respectively. The 6ADJ Checkmate is a stop and holder, so it does more than a stop-only unit and needs the same concealed prep either way.
17) How does the Glynn-Johnson 410 Series compare to the Norton Rixson 6ADJ Checkmate?
They sit at the same duty level. The Glynn-Johnson 410 Series is a medium duty concealed overhead door holder and stop, and the 6ADJ Checkmate is also medium duty and concealed mount. The 6ADJ Checkmate is non-handed, uses a slide track arm, and works on single or double acting doors, with a 110 degree maximum opening and 105 degrees for center hung 30 to 36 inch doors.
18) Can I match the 6ADJ concealed stop to the other door hardware finishes in my building?
Sixteen finishes are available on the Checkmate 6ADJ, covering the standard BHMA numbers most buildings standardize on: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 black painted, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 696 satin brass painted, plus BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. Since the unit is concealed, the only visible piece is the soffit plate and exposed fasteners, so 630 or 689 blends with most frames if you are not matching a specific finish schedule.
