Norton Rixson #2-RH-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Norton Rixson #2 door holder handed, and do I need to know the door swing before ordering?
The #2 electromagnetic door holder itself is a non-handed unit, so the same device works on a left-hand or a right-hand opening. That said, it is ordered as either a Left Hand or Right Hand item, so pick the hand that matches the door when you place the order even though the design is universal.
2) Does an electromagnetic door holder replace a door closer, or do I still need one?
It does not replace the closer. An electromagnetic holder like the Norton Rixson #2 only holds the leaf open at a set angle and releases it on command; the closer is what controls the swing and latches the door once the magnet drops. Plan on both on the opening.
3) Can the Norton Rixson #2 door holder be tied into a fire alarm so the doors close on alarm?
Yes, that is the point of an electromagnetic holder. The #2 is an electronic device that is wired to a power supply and released by the connected system, and the install sequence calls for testing release functions and integration with fire safety or access control systems before sign-off.
4) What else does an electrician need to plan for when installing the Norton Rixson #2 holder?
Low voltage power and a wiring path. The install calls for confirming the electrical supply and current capacity up front, killing power before mounting, leaving clearance at the mounting point for wiring access and future service, and pulling conductors sized per the manufacturer wiring diagram. Power supply and wire are not part of the holder.
5) Is the Norton Rixson #2 suitable for heavy industrial or institutional doors, or is it a light-duty holder?
It is a commercial-duty unit, rated by the manufacturer for industrial door applications and built from high-strength corrosion-resistant metal for high-traffic openings. Typical uses are healthcare, schools, industrial plants and other institutional corridors, not residential doors.
6) I manage a property with corridor doors that keep getting propped. Will this hold them open legally?
An electromagnetic holder is the code-friendly way to do it. The Norton Rixson #2 holds the leaf at a set angle so nobody wedges it, and because it is an electronic hold-open wired to release, the door can drop closed when the building system tells it to instead of staying blocked open.
7) What finish does the Norton Rixson #2 electromagnetic door holder come in?
One finish only: 689 aluminum. If you are standardizing hardware across a building and the other door controls are painted aluminum 689, this matches. There is no dark bronze or brass option on the #2.
