Norton Rixson H117-3/4-587-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 3/4 inch offset on a Rixson 117-3/4 pivot mean for my door prep?
The pivot point sits 3/4 inch off the door edge rather than on the centerline of the door itself, so the door is hung offset in the opening and clearance has to be planned around that 3/4 inch dimension before you rout the top and floor prep. Norton Rixson supplies templates for the header and floor hole locations, and the offset clearance is one of the items you verify before drilling. Pick the offset that matches the frame condition you are working with; the pivot cannot be shifted after the floor is drilled.
2) Do I need to order a left hand and right hand version of the 117-3/4 pivot set?
No. The 117-3/4 pivot is non-handed, so one part number works on either swing. That is one of the practical advantages of center hung pivots for a property manager standardizing across a building: you order the same item for every opening and sort out the swing at install.
3) Will a center hung pivot let the door swing a full 180 degrees?
Yes, the 117-3/4 pivot allows up to 180 degrees of swing, trim permitting. Because the door turns on a point rather than on a hinge barrel at the jamb, it swings both directions and clears back to the wall, provided nothing on the door or the adjacent trim gets in the way first. If you have projecting trim, a push plate, or a wall mounted stop, that hardware is what limits the swing, not the pivot.
4) Is the Rixson 117-3/4 pivot ANSI Grade 1 for an institutional spec?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification, which is the architectural hardware standard for door controls and the top grade within it. A156.4 Grade 1 is what most institutional and government specifications call for on commercial openings, so this pivot answers that line on the schedule directly.
5) Can I use a center hung pivot instead of hinges on a heavy commercial door?
That is exactly what it is for. Butt hinges hang the entire door off the frame, and on a heavy door in a busy opening that load eventually pulls the frame or sags the door. A center hung set like the 117-3/4 puts the door on a top pivot in the header and a bottom pivot anchored to the floor, transferring the weight down into the floor structure instead. The tradeoff is prep: hinges are mortised into the jamb and door edge, while pivots need the floor drilled and the header prepped, so it is a decision you make at the framing and slab stage, not a swap you make on a Friday afternoon.
6) Does the Rixson 117-3/4 come as a complete set, or do I order the top and bottom pivots separately?
It is supplied as a full set, top pivot and bottom pivot with the components needed for a standard installation. Note that the pivot is ordered by finish and by which piece you are specifying, so if you are replacing only a damaged top pivot on an existing opening you order that piece rather than the whole assembly. Satin chrome (626) is the finish carried on the top pivot.
7) Is the Rixson 117-3/4 pivot an electrified pivot for transferring power to the door?
No. The 117-3/4 is a mechanical pivot only, with no electrical provision. If your opening needs power carried to an electrified lock, an exit device, or a card reader on the door leaf, you need a separate power transfer device or an electrified pivot; this one will not do it.
8) What finish does the Norton Rixson 117-3/4 pivot come in?
626 satin chrome, which is the standard architectural finish on commercial door hardware and the one that matches most exit devices, closers, and lever trim already hanging in an office or institutional building. If the rest of the opening is 626, the pivot will not stand out.
9) What is the Rixson 117-3/4 pivot made of, and will it hold up in a high traffic entrance?
Steel construction, and it is a commercial rated part rather than a residential one. Between the steel components, the ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification, and a floor mounted bottom pivot taking the door weight, it is built for the kind of cycle count an office lobby, a school corridor, or a healthcare entrance puts on a door.
