Norton Rixson 2068 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Norton Rixson 2608 alignment tool actually used for?
The 2608 is an installation tool, not a door part. It sets the alignment between the top and bottom pivot (or the closer at the bottom) so the two rotate on the same axis before you fix anything permanently. Norton Rixson builds it for the H340 and H345 heavy duty center hung top pivots, and it works for both offset and center hung setups. It stays with the installer, not the door.
2) Will the Norton Rixson 2608 alignment tool work with pivots other than H340 and H345?
No. Norton Rixson matches the 2608 to the H340 and H345 heavy duty center hung top pivots specifically, so treat it as a model specific tool for those two. If you are hanging a different pivot series, look for the alignment tool the manufacturer calls out for that series rather than forcing this one.
3) Do I get the pivots when I order the Norton Rixson 2608?
No. The 2608 is the alignment tool by itself. The H340 or H345 top pivot, the matching bottom pivot or floor closer, and the door and frame prep hardware all have to be ordered separately. Order the tool alongside the pivot set, not instead of it.
4) Do I need a separate left hand and right hand version of the Rixson 2608 pivot alignment tool?
One tool covers both. The 2608 is non-handed, so the same unit sets up a left hand or right hand opening and a single tool serves a whole crew or a whole building.
5) Is the Norton Rixson 2608 a one-time-use jig or can I keep using it?
Reusable. The 2608 is built to be pulled off after the pivot is set and carried to the next opening, so a property manager or contractor standardizing on H340 or H345 pivots across a building buys the tool once, not per door.
6) Why does pivot alignment matter on a center hung door, and what happens if I skip the tool?
On a center hung door the top pivot and the bottom pivot or closer spindle have to share one vertical axis. Out of line, the door binds, drags on the threshold, or loads the closer off-center and wears it early. The 2608 fixes that relationship before the prep is committed, which is why Rixson supplies it specifically for the H340 and H345 heavy duty top pivots rather than leaving it to a plumb bob and a tape.
7) Is the 2608 pivot alignment tool suitable for commercial door work or is it a residential tool?
Commercial. Norton Rixson rates the 2608 for commercial use, and the pivots it serves are heavy duty center hung units of the kind that go in office lobbies, schools, hospitals and municipal buildings. The tool itself carries a medium duty rating, which is about the tool's own service life, not the doors it helps hang.
8) Which model number do I order for the Rixson pivot alignment tool?
It is ordered as Norton Rixson 2608, and there is a single configuration, so there is no finish, size or hand choice to specify on the order. Give your supplier 2608 with H340/H345 as the pivot reference and that is the whole order line.
