Norton Rixson 2890N-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 28 Series floor closer handle a 350 lb entrance door?
Yes. The 28 Series is rated to 350 lbs of door weight and up to 48 inches of door width, which covers most heavy interior and exterior single-acting openings. Both limits apply together, so a 48 inch wide leaf still has to come in at or under 350 lbs. It is a heavy duty, high traffic closer with a hardened one-piece steel spindle, so a solid core or glass entrance in that range is within its range rather than at the edge of it.
2) Can a Norton Rixson 28 floor closer be used on a double acting door that swings both ways?
No. The 28 Series is single acting, so it swings one direction only. If the opening needs to push both in and out, this is the wrong closer and you need a double acting floor closer instead. Single acting is also why handing matters on the order: the 28 is built left hand or right hand and the two are not interchangeable once the floor pocket is cut.
3) Does the Rixson 28 floor closer hold the door open?
It depends which arm function you order. The standard product record lists no hold open feature, but the arm function axis offers a selective hold open version alongside the non-hold-open. Selective hold open catches the door at the dead stop point when you push it there deliberately and releases on a normal pull. If you need the door parked open for deliveries or moving, order the selective hold open arm; for a fire-rated or self-closing requirement, order non-hold-open.
4) Is the LCN 4040SE-3038 or 4040SEH-3038 track an alternative to a Norton Rixson 28 Series floor closer?
No - they solve different mounting problems. The LCN 4040SE-3038 is a standard track for fire/life safety door closers and the LCN 4040SEH-3038 is a hold open track, both track components that run overhead on a surface-mounted closer body. The Norton Rixson 28 Series is a single acting closer that sits concealed in the floor, offset hung, controlling doors up to 350 lbs and 48 inches wide. If the opening has a header and you are specifying a surface closer, a track is the arm hardware you order; if the control has to disappear into the floor for a glass or narrow-stile opening, the 28 Series is the closer itself and no overhead track is involved.
5) I need a door that stays open on its own - do I add a Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm, or does the 28 Series handle it?
The Deltana DCHA1050 is a hold open arm built for the Deltana DC10 closer and does not adapt to a floor closer. The Norton Rixson 28 Series handles hold open at the arm function you order it with: it is built either non-hold open or selective hold open, so the hold open behavior is chosen when the closer is specified rather than added later as a separate arm. Decide it before the order goes in, because it is not a field-added accessory on a floor-concealed body.
6) Is the Rixson 28 floor closer ADA compliant for opening force?
There is a lighter spring option on the 28 Series specifically for ADA opening force, ordered as a yes/no choice. On an interior opening where reduced opening force is required, specify the lighter spring. Note the trade-off a heavy door creates: a lighter spring on a 350 lb leaf gives up closing power, so the lighter spring makes most sense on doors well under the closer's weight ceiling.
7) Can I service a Rixson 28 floor closer without taking the door down?
On threshold applications the closer can be removed without demounting the door, and the centering arm's adjusting screws sit in the face of the door where you can reach them. For a property manager that is the whole argument for the 28 on a busy entrance: speed and latch-speed adjustment, and closer replacement on a threshold install, do not turn into a two-person door removal.
8) Should I use a floor closer or a surface mounted overhead closer?
A floor closer like the 28 Series is the answer when the closer has to be out of sight or out of reach: it sits in the floor pocket, which makes it vandal resistant in high traffic areas, and it carries weight an overhead arm cannot, up to 350 lbs. It is also the option for center or offset hung doors with no top rail to mount to, such as full glass entrances. Choose a surface overhead closer instead when the floor is already poured and you do not want to core it, or when the job is a standard hollow metal door on butt hinges. The floor closer costs you a floor pocket; the overhead costs you a visible arm.
9) Will a Rixson 28 floor closer rust or corrode in a floor pocket that gets wet?
The case is Cycolac, a rust-proof cement case, which is what lets the 28 Series go into an exterior threshold or an entry vestibule where water tracks in and sits in the pocket. There is also a sealed closer option on the order form for pockets where standing water or wash-down is a real concern. Pair the sealed option with the case on exterior openings, garage level entries and anywhere the floor gets mopped hard.
10) Can I set the Rixson 28 floor closer to stop the door before it hits a wall?
Yes, the 28 has a built-in positive dead stop and you pick the degree when you order: 85, 90, 95 or 105. Measure the swing path first. If a return wall, a column or an adjacent door leaf is inside the arc, order the 85 or 90 so the closer takes the impact instead of the door face or the wall stop. The 105 is for open lobby swings with nothing in the way.
11) I need a replacement arm or bracket for an existing door closer, not a whole floor closer. What are my options?
The 28 Series is a complete in-floor closer, not a bolt-on part for an existing surface closer. If what you need is an accessory for an overhead closer, look at the LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support for a 3-1/16 inch reveal, the LCN 1260-18QF quick fix bracket kit, the LCN 4040SE-3038 standard track or 4040SEH-3038 hold open track for 4040SE series closers, the Dorma 15323 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, or the Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm for DC10 and DCCA4041 cushion arm for DC40 closers. Match the accessory to your existing closer series, since these are not cross-brand interchangeable.
12) The Dorma 15323 offset bottom arm shows up in floor closer searches - how does it differ from the Norton Rixson 28 Series?
The Dorma 15323 is a 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, rated standard duty and not fire rated - it is the arm that connects a door to a closer, not a closing mechanism. The Norton Rixson 28 Series is the heavy duty closer body itself, ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, rated for high traffic and doors up to 350 lbs, with adjustable dead stop at 85, 90, 95, or 105 degrees. If a bottom arm is what failed on an existing opening, an arm is the part to price; if the closing action itself is gone or the opening is new, the 28 Series is the closer being specified.
13) My reveal is too deep for a regular closer - do I use the LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support or the LCN 1260-18QF bracket, or go to a floor closer?
The LCN 1260-30 is a cush shoe support with 3-1/16 inch reveal compatibility and the LCN 1260-18QF is a quick fix bracket kit, both from LCN's 1000 and 1260 closer lines - they exist to make a surface-mounted closer work against a frame condition. The Norton Rixson 28 Series takes reveal out of the equation because the closer body is set in the floor and the door is offset hung, with a centering arm adjusted by screws in the face of the door. Where the frame or transom will not accept a surface closer at all, the floor-concealed route is the one that does not depend on reveal dimension.
14) Does the Rixson 28 have delayed action for accessible or high-traffic entrances?
Delay function is included on the 28 Series. That slows the first part of the closing cycle so someone with a cart, a wheelchair or an armload of stock gets through before the door starts closing at speed. It is adjusted at the closer along with the closing speed and latching speed valves during setup.
15) Can I match the Rixson 28 floor closer cover to the other door hardware in my building?
Thirteen finishes are offered: 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. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so 626 on the closer plate matches 626 on your lever trim and 613 matches your oil rubbed bronze pulls across a fleet of openings.
16) For an ADA opening, is a lighter spring closer a separate model from the Norton Rixson 28 Series?
It is the same 28 Series closer ordered with the lighter spring option rather than a different part number, and it keeps the Grade 1 commercial rating and the delay function. None of the closer accessories from other lines - the Cal-Royal 900 Series accessories kit, the Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm, or the Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm - changes opening force on a floor closer, because they belong to surface closer platforms. For an accessible interior opening under a floor-concealed control, specify the lighter spring on the 28 Series at the time of order.
