Norton Rixson 128-3/4 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the Rixson 128-3/4 center hung pivot fit?
It's built for standard 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) commercial door thickness. That's the thickness on essentially every commercial hollow metal and solid core leaf, so if you're replacing hardware on a typical office, school, or healthcare opening it matches. A 1-3/8 inch interior door is thinner than what this set is prepped for.
2) Do I need to order the Rixson 128-3/4 pivot set handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The 128-3/4 pivot set is non-handed, so one part number covers left hand, right hand, and reverse bevel openings. For a property manager standardizing across a building, that means one item on the order instead of a handed pair for every door.
3) What is the difference between the Top Pivot and Less Top Pivot options on the Rixson 128-3/4?
That option decides whether the top pivot ships with the set. Order Top Pivot when you're doing a complete pivot installation and need both the intermediate/top pivot and the bottom. Order Less Top Pivot (LTP) when the head already carries the top pivot, which is the usual case when an overhead concealed closer or an existing header assembly provides it. Ordering the full set when the header already has a top pivot leaves you with a part you can't use; ordering LTP when nothing is up top leaves the door with no upper bearing point. Check the header before you pick.
4) Can I use the Rixson 128-3/4 pivot set on a fire rated door opening?
No. The 128-3/4 pivot set does not carry a fire rating, so it should not go on a labeled fire door assembly. For rated openings you need pivot hardware that is listed for the assembly. This set is for non-rated commercial doors, where it's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1.
5) Should I use center hung pivots or offset pivots on a commercial door?
Center hung, which is what the 128-3/4 is, puts the pivot point roughly on the centerline of the door so the leaf rotates within the opening and can swing both directions. That's the arrangement you want for balanced traffic doors and for openings where the door needs to sit in the frame rather than clear it. Offset pivots swing the door out past the frame face and are the choice when you need full clear opening width or hardware and stops that a center hung leaf would strike. Also note that center hung transfers the door weight into the floor, so you need a structural floor condition under the bottom pivot, not just a topping slab.
6) Is the Rixson 128-3/4 pivot set Grade 1 for an institutional spec?
It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, the top performance tier in the pivot and closer standard, which is what most institutional and government specs call out for commercial door hardware. Duty level is listed as standard duty and the application is standard commercial doors, so it meets the Grade 1 line item without being a high-frequency traffic pivot.
7) Is the Rixson 128-3/4 an electrified pivot for power transfer to the door?
No. It's a mechanical pivot set with no electrical provision, so it won't carry power through to an electrified lock, exit device, or card reader on the leaf. If the opening needs power to the door, that has to come from a separate electric power transfer or an electrified pivot, and the 128-3/4 handles the pivoting only.
8) What finishes can I get the Rixson 128-3/4 pivot set in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Four finishes: 606 satin brass, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. All four are available with the top pivot or as Less Top Pivot. 626 satin chrome is the usual match for commercial lever and closer hardware, 613 for a dark bronze storefront or hospitality package.
9) Do Rixson 128-3/4 pivots need lubrication or maintenance once installed?
No routine lubrication. The pivots use self-lubricating bearings, so an MRO crew isn't scheduling grease intervals on them. The cast brass and steel construction is what carries the load over the life of the opening.
