Norton Rixson 147 X 1-1/2OS RH 605 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door applications work with this 1-1/2" offset pivot?
This Norton Rixson pivot handles heavy commercial doors up to 1-3/4" thick. Works for wood, hollow metal, and composite doors. The 1-1/2" offset creates clearance from frames and walls.
2) What weight capacity does this pivot set support?
Norton Rixson pivots typically support 250-400 pounds depending on door size and installation. Verify weight capacity with manufacturer specs for your specific door dimensions.
3) Does this include both top and bottom pivot hardware?
Yes, this set includes the 180 series top pivot with 1-1/2" offset. Bottom pivot sold separately. You need both components for complete door operation.
4) What finishes are available for this pivot hardware?
Norton Rixson pivots come in standard architectural finishes including satin chrome, dark bronze, and bright brass. Verify finish availability when ordering specific models.
5) How do I determine the correct offset measurement?
Measure from door edge to pivot centerline. The 1-1/2" offset positions the pivot center 1-1/2" from the door edge. This provides clearance for thick frames or wall conditions.
6) What door thickness works with this pivot system?
Standard door thickness range is 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" for most Norton Rixson pivots. Verify compatibility with your door thickness before installation. Thicker doors may require special ordering.
7) Do building codes affect pivot hinge selection?
Yes. Fire-rated doors require listed pivot hardware. ADA compliance may affect opening force. Check local codes for egress door requirements and accessibility standards.
8) What tools are needed for pivot installation?
You need a router or mortise chisel set, drill with bits, level, measuring tools, and templates. Follow manufacturer installation instructions for proper alignment and operation.
9) How do I adjust pivot tension after installation?
Most Norton Rixson pivots have adjustment screws for spring tension. Turn clockwise to increase closing force, counterclockwise to reduce. Make small adjustments and test door operation.
10) Can this pivot work with door closers?
Yes, Norton Rixson pivots are compatible with overhead door closers. The pivot provides the hinge function while the closer controls door speed and latching force.
11) What are compatible bottom pivot options?
Use matching Norton Rixson bottom pivots with the same offset and series number. The bottom pivot must align with top pivot centerline for proper door operation and longevity.
