Norton Rixson 280 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 3/4 inch offset on a Rixson 280 pivot actually measure from?
The 3/4 inch (19mm) is measured from the centerline of the pivot to the face of the door. That is the number that sets how far the door swings clear of the frame, so when you lay out the template on the frame, work off pivot centerline, not the edge of the leaf. Get that reference wrong and the door will not sit flush.
2) Can I use an offset pivot instead of a butt hinge on a flush door and frame?
That is exactly what the 280 Series is for. It is an offset hung, half-surface pivot, meaning the door portion mounts to the face rather than being mortised into the door edge. Butt hinges and mortised pivots both need a machined pocket; where the door cannot take that prep, or where the frame is flush, the half-surface offset pivot is the way to hang it. It carries the door top and bottom on a pivot point instead of along a hinge barrel.
3) Is the Rixson 280 pivot handed, and do I have to specify left or right?
Handed, yes. The half-surface design is not reversible in the field, so you order it for the swing you have. Determine the hand at the opening before you order, and on a pair of doors that means two different parts, one per leaf.
4) Can the Norton Rixson 280 pivot be used on a fire rated door?
Not the standard 280. It is built on a non-ferrous base material and is not a fire rated pivot. For a fire door assembly, Norton Rixson makes a ferrous version, ordered as F280. On a rated opening that substitution is not optional, so specify the F280 rather than finishing with the non-ferrous part.
5) Does the Rixson 280 top pivot need a matching bottom pivot or floor closer?
An offset hung door pivots top and bottom, so the top pivot set is one half of the hanging. You still need the bottom half at the threshold, either an offset bottom pivot or an offset floor closer with an arm matched to the same 3/4 inch offset. Both ends have to be the same offset dimension or the door will bind.
6) What if my frame head sits deeper than standard and the pivot pin does not reach?
Longer than standard pivot pins are available on the 280, in 1/4 inch (6mm), 1/2 inch (13mm), and 3/4 inch (19mm) increments. That is the fix for a soffit condition or a build-out where the standard pin comes up short. Measure the gap from the frame face to the pivot point and pick the increment that closes it.
7) Do I need to buy screws with the Rixson 280 pivot set, and can I get Torx?
Screws come with it. Both wood and machine screws are furnished, so the same set covers a wood frame and a hollow metal one without a separate fastener order. Torx screws are available as an option if your spec calls for a tamper-resistant drive.
8) Is the Rixson 280 pivot heavy enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is a standard duty commercial pivot. That suits office, retail, school, and multi-family interior openings running normal traffic. For a main entrance taking constant use or an unusually heavy leaf, step up to a heavy duty pivot instead of putting a standard duty set under it.
9) What finishes does the Rixson 280 offset top pivot come in?
Ten BHMA finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. If you are matching existing openings across a building, those are standard finish codes, so pull the number off the hardware already installed and order to it rather than matching by eye.
10) What is the 20 minimum option on the Rixson 280 pivot?
Each of the ten finishes is offered two ways: as a straight 3/4 inch offset pivot set, and as 3/4 inch offset with a 20 piece minimum. If you are standardizing a floor or a whole property on one finish, the minimum-quantity line is the one to order against. For a single door replacement, take the standard line.
