Norton Rixson 12790N-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 127 Series floor closer work on a door frame with a deep reveal?
That is exactly what the 127 Series is built for. It is a 3/4 inch offset hung closer, so the pivot point sits 3/4 inch off the door edge and clears frame depth that a standard center hung or butt hung closer cannot. If your frame reveal is shallow and a standard offset works, you do not need this model. If the reveal is deep enough that the closer body fouls the frame, the 3/4 inch offset is the fix.
2) Do I need extra pivots for a tall door with a Rixson 127 floor closer?
The 127 ships with a 180 top pivot. On doors 60 to 90 inches high you add M19 intermediate pivots, and you add another for every 30 inches of height beyond 90 inches. Budget those into the order for a tall entrance leaf, because the closer alone does not carry a tall door properly without them.
3) What is the closest substitute for a Norton Rixson 127 floor closer in a heavy duty offset-hung opening?
The Norton Rixson 127N is a single-acting, offset-hung heavy duty floor closer rated for doors up to 250 lbs, set in a Cycolac rust-proof cement case. The closest peer in the same duty class is the Dormakaba BTS80, a concealed floor closer supplied as a body only and also rated heavy duty. The practical difference is what arrives in the box: the 127 is ordered as a complete offset closer with a 180 top pivot and selectable dead stop at 85, 90, 95, or 105 degrees, while the BTS80 is a closer body that expects the balance of the installation to be specified separately.
4) If a job spec calls for a Grade 1 floor closer, what floor closer meets that?
The Dormakaba BTS75V is listed as Grade 1 and is a non-hold-open floor closer body supplied with a cement case, less spindle. The Norton Rixson 127N is certified to ANSI/C06041 and is a heavy duty commercial closer; where a submittal names Grade 1 specifically, the BTS75V is the peer that carries that designation. Note the BTS75V ships less spindle, so the spindle length has to be specified for the door and floor condition, where the 127 handles that through spindle extension options of 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, or 2 inches.
5) Is a Dorma BTS80 a drop-in replacement for a Norton Rixson 127?
No, and the reason is the hang type rather than the strength. The BTS80 is a concealed floor closer body, while the Norton Rixson 127N is an offset-hung unit built around a 3/4 inch offset for deep reveal frames where the pivot cannot sit at the door edge. Both are heavy duty, but the floor prep, case position, and door prep follow the hang type, so swapping one for the other on an existing opening means re-preparing the floor. Replace an offset 127 with an offset closer, and confirm handing, since the 127 is handed left or right.
6) Is there a lower opening force option on the Rixson 127 for accessible doors?
A lighter spring version is orderable as a Yes or No choice on the 127. A lighter spring reduces the force needed to push the door open, which is what governs an accessible interior opening. It also means less closing power, so on an exterior door fighting wind or stack pressure the standard spring is the safer pick.
7) Can I control closing speed and stop the door from slamming into the frame with a floor closer?
The 127 has three separate valves: closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck. Closing speed governs the main sweep, latch speed governs the last few degrees into the stop, and backcheck cushions a door thrown open hard so it does not hit the wall or wreck the pivot. It also has a delay function, which holds the door open longer before it starts closing, useful where people are carrying carts or equipment through.
8) What is the difference between the Rixson 127 and a Dorma BTS concealed floor closer?
Different mounting geometry. The 127 is offset hung with a 3/4 inch offset, meant for deep reveal frames, and it is single acting and handed. The Dormakaba Dorma BTS80 is a heavy duty concealed floor closer sold as a body only, and the Dorma BTS75V is a Grade 1 non hold open body with cement case, less spindle. Body only means you source the spindle, top pivot and cover separately, where the 127 comes with its 180 top pivot. If you are replacing an existing BTS installation, the existing floor pocket is cut for that body and staying in the same family is the shorter job.
9) Should I use a floor closer or a surface mounted overhead closer on this door?
A floor closer like the 127 carries the weight of the door in the slab, which is why it handles a 250 lb leaf, and it leaves nothing visible on the door or head, which is why it goes on glass fronts and architectural entrances. The cost is the floor work: you cut the slab for a cement case. A surface overhead closer needs no floor prep and retrofits far more easily, but it is visible and it hangs the door load on the hinges. If the slab is already poured and uncut and the door is ordinary weight, an overhead closer is the practical call. If the door is heavy, pivot hung, or the sightline matters, the floor closer is the one.
10) Can the Rixson 127 be installed at a threshold instead of set into the floor?
Both are available. The 127 can be ordered for floor plate installation or threshold installation, which matters when you cannot cut the existing slab, or when there is an existing threshold assembly at an entrance you are working into. Confirm which one the opening needs before the case is ordered, because it changes the floor prep entirely.
11) I need a floor closer that will not hold the door open at all. Which one should I order?
The Dormakaba BTS75V is a dedicated non-hold-open floor closer, so the function is fixed and cannot be set to hold open in the field. The Norton Rixson 127 covers the same requirement through its arm function selection: order the non-hold-open version rather than the selective hold open version. Either route gives a door that always returns to the latch, which is what egress and smoke-partition openings usually require.
12) Which floor closer should I use on an exterior entrance where the case may see water?
The Norton Rixson 127N uses a Cycolac rust-proof cement case and is rated for both interior and exterior doors, with sealed closer construction available as an ordering option. Among the peers, the Dormakaba BTS75V is supplied with a cement case as well, though as a body less spindle. For an exterior opening carrying a heavy door, the 127N covers doors to 250 lbs and 4 ft 0 in width with the weight borne by the floor closer itself.
13) Does the fire rating differ between the Norton Rixson 127 and the Dorma BTS80?
The Dormakaba BTS80 is listed as not fire rated. The Norton Rixson 127N is a commercial heavy duty closer certified to ANSI/C06041. On a labeled opening, confirm the closer against the door and frame label before ordering either one, since a floor closer that is not fire rated cannot be used to make up a rated assembly.
14) What is the difference between ordering a floor closer body only and ordering a complete floor closer?
A body-only order is the closer mechanism alone. The Dormakaba BTS80 is sold as a body only, and the BTS75V is a body with cement case but less spindle, so the spindle and the balance of the pivot hardware are specified separately. The Norton Rixson 127N is ordered as a complete offset closer including the 180 top pivot, with spindle extensions of 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, or 2 inches selectable at the time of order and finish chosen from options such as 626 satin chrome, 613 oil rubbed bronze, or 605 bright brass. If a replacement body is going back into an existing case, the body-only peers are the relevant items.
15) What finishes does the Rixson 127 floor closer come in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Thirteen finishes, covering the standard BHMA numbers: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 black painted, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, plus BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. If your building is standardized on 626 satin chrome or 613 oil rubbed bronze, the cover plate will match the pulls and hinges already on the openings.
16) Is the Rixson 127 floor closer built for a high traffic commercial entrance?
Heavy Duty rated and commercial only, with a hardened one piece steel spindle. The one piece spindle is the part that matters on a high cycle opening, since a spindle is what takes the twisting load every time the door swings. It carries an ANSI/BHMA designation of ANSI/C06041.
