Norton Rixson 147-20-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 147-20 pivot set carry a 300 lb commercial door?
Yes. The 147-20 pivot set is rated for doors up to 300 lbs, and Norton Rixson lists a maximum door width of 3'6" (1067 mm) alongside that weight. Both limits have to be met, not just the weight: a 300 lb door wider than 3'6" is outside what this set is specified for. It ships as a complete top and bottom pivot assembly, so nothing further is needed to hang the door on the pivots themselves.
2) Can I use the Norton Rixson 147-20 pivot set on a fire rated door opening?
No. The 147-20 pivot set is not fire rated, so it should not be specified on a labelled opening. For a stair, corridor, or any door carrying a fire label, use pivot hardware that is listed for that application and keep the 147-20 on non-labelled openings such as interior office, retail, and lobby doors.
3) Do I need to order a left hand and right hand version of the Norton Rixson 147-20 pivot?
No, and that's useful for a property manager buying for a mixed set of openings. The 147-20 pivot set is non-handed and field reversible, so one part number covers both left and right hand doors without extra hardware. You stock one item instead of two.
4) Is the Norton Rixson 147-20 pivot set ANSI Grade 1 for a school or hospital spec?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification, which is the pivot and hinge standard's top durability tier and what most institutional specs call for on high traffic openings. That plus the steel construction is generally what a facility spec is looking for on office, education, healthcare, and government interior doors. Confirm the fire rating requirement separately, since this set is not fire rated.
5) Should I use pivots like the Norton Rixson 147-20 instead of butt hinges on a heavy commercial door?
Pivots carry the door's weight down through the floor rather than hanging it off the frame's hinge jamb, which is why they get specified for heavier leaves. The 147-20 set handles doors to 300 lbs and up to 3'6" wide, and Norton Rixson notes the offset hung arrangement spreads that load so less stress goes into the frame. Butt hinges are the simpler choice on ordinary lightweight interior doors where no floor prep is wanted, since pivots require drilling and routing at both the floor and the header.
6) How far can a door on Norton Rixson 147-20 pivots swing open?
Up to 180 degrees, though the actual figure depends on the trim and surrounding conditions at the opening. Door stops, adjacent walls, or push/pull hardware can cut it short, so check what the leaf will hit before assuming a full swing on a retail or corridor door.
7) What floor and header prep does installing the Norton Rixson 147-20 pivot set require?
Both surfaces get worked. The bottom pivot mounts to the floor and the top pivot to the header, and each needs holes drilled and routing done per Norton Rixson's templates before the door goes up. Mark from the manufacturer templates rather than measuring by eye, since alignment between the two pivots is what determines whether the door swings clean. After mounting, the pivots are adjusted for alignment and the swing is tested.
8) What finish does the Norton Rixson 147-20 pivot set come in?
626 satin chrome, which is the standard commercial finish and matches most satin chrome levers, closers, and exit device trim already on a building's interior openings. If the rest of the opening is in 626, the pivots will read as part of the same set.
