Norton Rixson 7-126-690 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate overhead stop work on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. The 7 Series Checkmate is built around a standard 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which is the normal commercial door. If your opening is a 1-3/8 inch interior leaf or a thicker custom door, this is not the unit to spec.
2) What size door frame do I order the Norton Rixson 7 Series stop for?
Order by door opening width. The 7 Series Checkmate is sold in four ranges: 24 to 30 inches, 30-1/16 to 34 inches, 34-1/16 to 39 inches, and 39-1/16 up. Measure the leaf width of the door the unit mounts on and pick the range it falls in, because the arm and track length are sized to that range.
3) Can I use the Checkmate 7 Series on a double acting door?
No. The 7 Series is a single acting device, so it suits a door that swings one direction only. A double acting leaf that swings both ways needs a different control.
4) Does the Norton Rixson 7 Series hold the door open, or does it only stop it?
It does both. The Checkmate 7 Series is a stop and holder: it arrests the swing at the set point and will hold the leaf open there, which is what you want on a receiving door, a mechanical room, or any opening a crew keeps propping with a wedge.
5) Is the Norton Rixson 7 Series overhead stop ANSI Grade 1?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.8, and the catalog notes the certification applies to certain models in the family. For a facility spec that calls out A156.8 Grade 1, that is the standard this heavy duty unit is written to.
6) What is a heavy duty alternative to the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate surface overhead stop and holder?
The Glynn-Johnson 90 Series and the Sargent 590 are both surface overhead door holders and stops built at a heavy duty level, the same duty level the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate carries. The Sargent 590 is a heavy duty overhead surface mount stop/holder with bronze construction and is Grade 1. All three mount to the surface of the door and frame rather than being concealed in the door edge, so the door prep is comparable when you are matching an existing opening.
7) I have Glynn-Johnson overhead stops on the rest of the building - what is the equivalent to a Norton Rixson Checkmate?
For a heavy duty surface unit, the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series is a heavy duty surface overhead door holder and stop, which matches the heavy duty surface mount build of the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate. If the openings in question are lighter interior doors, the Glynn-Johnson 450 Series is the light to medium duty surface overhead holder and stop in the same family. Both are surface applied, so the door and frame prep stays consistent with the Checkmate across a fleet of doors.
8) Which overhead stop and holder should I use if the door has no room on the face for a surface unit?
Look at a concealed mount unit instead. The ABH 4000 Series is a concealed mount overhead stop and holder with medium duty construction, and the ABH 4000RA Series is a concealed mount medium duty overhead door holder and stop with adjustable opening control. Both set into the door and frame rather than sitting on the door face the way the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate does, so they require routing rather than surface fasteners, and both are medium duty rather than the heavy duty build of the Checkmate.
9) Is the DORMA 701F friction stop the same thing as a Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate stop and holder?
No. The DORMA 701F is a surface applied friction stop, which controls the door by friction against the slide arm rather than providing the positive hold open function the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate carries. The 701F is standard duty and covers a 21 inch to 27 inch door opening, while the Checkmate is a heavy duty unit. If the spec calls for a door that stays held open until it is released, a friction stop is a different device and will not satisfy it.
10) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate come in?
Seven, and they cover both bronze-tone and painted openings: 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. Each is available across all four door opening ranges, so you can standardize one finish over a whole building even where leaf widths differ.
11) Can I get security screws on the Norton Rixson 7 Series door holder?
Torx security screws are an option you select when ordering, for the exposed fasteners. On a school corridor, a detention-adjacent space, or any opening where the public can reach the hardware, take the Torx option; on a back-of-house door the standard fasteners are fine.
12) Should I use a surface overhead stop or a concealed one?
Surface mount, like the 7 Series Checkmate, bolts to the face of the door and the frame soffit. Nothing gets routed, so it goes onto an existing opening in an afternoon and it can be serviced without pulling the door. The trade is that the arm and track are visible. Concealed units, such as the ABH 4000 Series, hide inside a mortised pocket in the door edge and frame head, which looks cleaner but means machining the door. For a retrofit on doors already hung, surface wins; for new doors ordered with the prep, concealed is worth considering.
13) I need the door to stop at a specific angle, not 110 degrees. What should I look at instead?
The Checkmate 7 Series tops out at 110 degrees. If you need to set the stop point yourself, look at the ABH 3300A Series or the ABH 4000RA Series, both of which we carry with adjustable opening control. That matters where the leaf has to clear a wall, a cabinet run, or an adjacent door at less than full swing.
14) Can the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate be used on an exterior door?
Yes, it is rated for interior and exterior single acting doors in commercial service. On an exterior leaf the hold open earns its keep, since wind is what tears an unrestrained door off its hinges. The bronze bearings are self-lubricating, so there is no greasing schedule on an outdoor unit.
15) Which surface overhead stop and holder covers a 36 inch door frame?
The ABH 3400 Series is a surface mount overhead stop and holder sized for 24 inch to 36 inch door frames. The Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate is ordered by door opening width in bands that run from 24 inch to 30 inch, 30-1/16 inch to 34 inch, and 34-1/16 inch upward, so a 36 inch leaf falls into an upper band on the Checkmate. Confirm the leaf width before ordering either, since the size band determines the arm and track length.
16) Does the Norton Rixson Checkmate use a slide track or a parallel arm?
Slide track. The arm rides in a track on the door face rather than pivoting on a jointed arm, and the cantilever body carries a double spring arm to absorb the shock when someone throws the door open. If your existing hardware or your drawing calls for a track-style overhead unit, this matches.
