Norton Rixson 0608-90N-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Rixson 0608 closer with a top pivot?
No. The 0608 cannot be used with a top pivot. It is an offset hung closer and needs its own hanging means, with the Norton Rixson 547 recommended. It also requires a removable frame stop and an auxiliary floor or wall stop in the opening. If your opening is set up for a center hung pivot arrangement, the Dormakaba RTS88 Series RTS01 is a center hung side load concealed closer for aluminum door and frame instead.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the 0608 overhead concealed closer?
Two things get confused here. The 0608 mechanism is single acting and non-handed in its operation, but the closer is ordered as either Left Hand or Right Hand, so you do need to know which way the door swings and which side the hinge stile is on before you place the order. You also pick the door application (aluminum doors and frames, metal doors and frames, wood doors and frames, or wood doors with metal frames), hold open or non-hold open, and the finish.
3) How far does the 0608 concealed closer let the door open?
It depends on which version you order. Non-hold open gives a 130 degree swing. Automatic hold open is ordered at either 90 degrees or 105 degrees, and that degree is the point the door catches and stays put. If you need a door held open at the wall in a corridor or a loading area, order the automatic hold open at the degree that matches where the door actually lands. If you want the door closing every time, take the non-hold open.
4) The Norton Rixson 0608 will not work on a center hung aluminum door - what overhead concealed closer will?
The 0608 is an offset hung closer and cannot be used with a top pivot, so a center hung leaf is outside what it suits. The Dorma RTS88 series RTS01 is an overhead concealed closer for center hung side load applications in aluminum door and frame, and it is non-handed and available single or double acting. That covers the two things the 0608 does not: center hung geometry and double acting swing, since the 0608 is single acting only.
5) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Norton Rixson 0608 overhead concealed closer for a high traffic opening?
The Norton Rixson 0608 is a standard duty closer rated for moderate traffic. Where an opening needs a Grade 1 closer, the Sargent 268 is an overhead concealed closer with a cast iron body listed as heavy duty and Grade 1, and the Sargent 278 is a heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed closer with an exposed arm. The Dormakaba ITS9613 is another Grade 1 concealed overhead closer, in the ITS96 series. All three control the door from a concealed head position the same way the 0608 does; the difference is duty level and the arm arrangement.
6) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 0608 and the Sargent 269 for a door that needs to swing past 130 degrees?
The Norton Rixson 0608 is offered non hold open at 130 degrees, with automatic hold open at 90 or 105 degrees. The Sargent 269 is an overhead concealed closer with 180 degree opening capability, heavy duty and Grade 1. If the leaf has to lay back further than the 0608 allows - a corridor door swinging flat against a wall, for instance - the 269 is the one built for that arc.
7) Can I order a CRL Jackson 20-101M closer body as a replacement for a Norton Rixson 0608?
Watch what you are buying. The CRL Jackson 20-101M closers - the regular duty 20-101M-01 at 105 degrees no hold open, the 20-101M-03 at 90 degrees no hold open, the heavy duty 20-101M-09 at 105 degrees, and the adjustable spring power 20-101M-17 at 105 degrees - are all supplied as a closer body only in brown, meaning the hardware around the body is not part of the order. The Norton Rixson 0608 is a complete offset hung closer supplied in a finish you select, from 689 aluminum and 690 dark bronze through 626 satin chrome and 693 flat black. A body only unit is a replacement for a cassette already in the head, not a substitute for a full closer on a new opening.
8) What is the extended spindle option on the 0608 for, and do I need it?
The extended spindle runs 1/2 inch longer than standard and has to be called out when you order, since the choice is None or 1/2 inch. You need it when the closer sits higher in the header than a standard install, typically a deeper or built up header where the standard spindle won't reach the door's top arm. Measure the header depth on the job before ordering. It is not field addable after the fact.
9) I need a concealed closer that just closes the door, no hold open. What are my options?
The 0608 in non-hold open form does it, swinging to 130 degrees and closing every time, with independently adjustable closing and latch speeds. Among other brands ZenSupply carries, CRL Jackson offers body only concealed closers in non-hold open at both 90 degree and 105 degree swing in regular duty, a heavy duty 105 degree non-hold open, and an adjustable spring power version at 105 degrees non-hold open.
10) Can I standardize the 0608 across a building where the doors swing different ways?
Yes, within its limits. The same 0608 series covers left hand and right hand, four door and frame applications, hold open and non-hold open, and fifteen finishes, so one series can cover a mixed set of openings while the exposed parts still match. The limits that will disqualify some doors: 200 lbs and 3 ft 8 in x 8 ft maximum size, moderate traffic and standard duty only, no ADA compliance, and no top pivot. Sort your door schedule against those four before committing the whole building to it.
11) Which overhead concealed closers offer hold open besides the Norton Rixson 0608?
The Norton Rixson 0608 carries a hold open feature, offered as automatic hold open at 90 or 105 degrees, or as non hold open. Among the alternatives, the CRL Jackson 20-101M bodies are all non hold open units - the 20-101M-01, the 20-101M-03, the heavy duty 20-101M-09 and the adjustable spring power 20-101M-17 are each listed as non hold open. So if the door has to stand open on its own, the 0608 in the automatic hold open configuration is the one to specify rather than a 20-101M body.
12) Is the Sargent 278 concealed closer the same kind of installation as the Norton Rixson 0608?
Not visually. The Norton Rixson 0608 is an overhead concealed closer with the closer arm concealed for minimal visual impact. The Sargent 278 is an overhead concealed closer with an exposed arm, heavy duty and Grade 1 - the body sits in the head but the arm shows on the face of the door. On a storefront or lobby opening where the reason for going concealed was appearance, that is the distinction to settle before ordering.
13) For a wood door with a metal frame, which concealed closer should a contractor use?
The Norton Rixson 0608 is configured for aluminum doors and frames, metal doors and frames, wood doors and frames, and wood doors with metal frames, so the wood door in a metal frame is a standard configuration for it. The Dorma RTS01 by comparison is specified for aluminum door and frame. Where the substrate is wood, the 0608 is the one that carries that door application, ordered left hand or right hand to match the opening.
14) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 0608 closer come in?
Fifteen, so matching existing hardware across a building is usually possible: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 flat black, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. Since the body is concealed in the header, the finish is mostly about the exposed arm and cover matching your storefront, and 689 aluminum or 690 dark bronze are the usual pairings with anodized aluminum framing.
