Norton Rixson 2800ST 690 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 2800ST cam action closer handle a 250 lb exterior-grade door?
250 lbs is the maximum door weight for the 2800ST, and the recommended maximum interior door width is 54 inches. Note the duty level on it is light duty, so on a high-abuse opening (a stairwell, a loading area, a door that gets kicked) look at a heavy duty body instead: the BEST EHD9000 Series and the Sargent 1431 Powerglide are both Grade 1 heavy duty surface closers. The 2800ST is rated high traffic, so traffic volume alone is not the reason to move up, weight and abuse are.
2) Is the Norton Rixson 2800ST door closer handed, or does one unit cover left and right hand doors?
Non-handed. One 2800ST body works on either hand of door. What you do choose at order time is the mounting side: push side gives a 140 degree opening range, pull side gives 110 degrees. Both are ordered as separate configurations, so pick based on which face of the door you can mount to and how far the door needs to swing.
3) What is the difference between a cam action door closer and a standard rack and pinion closer?
A cam action closer like the 2800ST uses a slide track arm and a cam that flattens the power curve, so opening resistance stays low while closing force stays strong. That is what makes it the choice on accessible openings and on doors used by kids, elderly residents, or anyone who cannot push hard, and the 2800ST's efficiency and flat power curve are stated to meet ADA opening force requirements. A conventional rack and pinion closer with a projecting arm, such as the Sargent 1131 or the Falcon SC81A, generally costs less to install and is fine where opening force is not the constraint. The slide track also keeps the arm tight to the door, which matters where a swinging arm would be grabbed or vandalized.
4) Do I have to order a drop plate with the Norton Rixson 2800ST?
Only for push side mounting, and it is an order option you select (yes or no) rather than something bundled in. The drop plate makes push side mounting easier where the top rail or the frame face does not give you enough flat surface for the shoe. On a narrow top rail or a door with glass close to the head, plan on it. Pull side installs do not use it.
5) Can I get the Norton Rixson 2800ST with a hold open arm?
Hold open is a yes or no option on the 2800ST, and it is available on both push side and pull side mounts, in both 689 aluminum and 690 dark bronze. Hold open is what you want on a receiving door or a corridor door propped during moves. Do not order it on a fire rated opening that needs to self close, since a mechanical hold open defeats the closing function that rating depends on.
6) Is the Norton Rixson 2800ST closer approved for a fire rated door?
The 2800ST carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and is UL 10C positive pressure with UL-cUL fire ratings up to 3 hours. That covers the standard commercial fire door openings, 20 minute through 3 hour. Order it non-hold-open for those doors so the leaf closes and latches on its own.
7) Does the Norton Rixson 2800ST have delayed action for a healthcare or accessible opening?
No delayed action on the 2800ST. It closes on a normal sweep, adjusted through the spring size 1-6 range. If you need the door to hang open a few extra seconds for a wheelchair, a gurney, or a cart, order a closer built with that function: the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 Series and BHDC2011 Series are both listed as delayed action, tri-packed non-hold open arm models.
8) I have doors of different widths and weights across a building. Can I standardize on one closer model?
Yes, and that is the main reason to spec the 2800ST across a fleet. Spring power is field adjustable from size 1 through 6, so one part number covers a light office door and a heavy 250 lb leaf up to 54 inches wide, and it is non-handed so the same unit goes on either swing. What you still have to decide door by door is push versus pull side mounting, hold open or not, and finish (689 aluminum or 690 dark bronze). Some competing closers narrow the adjustment range, for example the Accentra 1101BF is size 1-4, so the 1-6 range is what keeps one SKU covering the whole building.
9) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Norton Rixson 2800ST cam action closer for a pull side slide track opening?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is the nearest match in the set: a Grade 1 surface door closer supplied with a slide track arm as standard and mounted on the pull side, which is the same arm style and mounting side the 2800ST uses. The 2800ST is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and non-handed, so a single unit covers pull side or push side; the DC5230 is specified for pull side mounting. Confirm the door leaf thickness before ordering the DC5230, which is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Which door closer should be used instead of the Norton Rixson 2800ST on a heavy exterior door that needs more than light duty?
The 2800ST is rated light duty with a 250 lb maximum door weight. For an opening that calls for a heavier rating, the BEST EHD9000 is an extra heavy-duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6, and the BEST HD8000 is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer. The Sargent 1431 Powerglide and the Falcon SC71A are also heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers. All four are conventional surface closers rather than cam action units, so the opening force behavior at the door differs from the 2800ST.
11) Which closer should be specified instead of the Norton Rixson 2800ST when the door needs delayed action for accessibility?
The 2800ST does not include a delay function. Where the specification calls for delayed closing, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 delayed action version and the Orca Hardware BHDC2011 delayed action version are both supplied with a regular arm and parallel bracket, and both are specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. Verify the door leaf thickness against that 1-3/4 inch figure before substituting, since the 2800ST covers a different mounting arrangement with its slide track.
12) Is the Falcon SC91A an acceptable swap for the Norton Rixson 2800ST on a Grade 1 specified opening?
No. The Falcon SC91A is a light duty cast aluminum surface closer carrying a Grade 3 rating. The 2800ST is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1. If the drawing or facility standard calls for Grade 1, a same-duty Grade 1 alternative from the set is the BEST SL6000, a light duty Grade 1 surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, or the Arrow DC314, a light duty Grade 1 surface closer.
13) What ADA compliant barrier free closer can be used in place of the Norton Rixson 2800ST on an accessible interior door?
The 2800ST meets ADA opening force requirements through its cam action efficiency and flat power curve. Barrier free peers include the Cal-Royal 500S, a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, and the Cal-Royal N900PBF, a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer. The Calibre CA4001 is a Grade 1 ADA hydraulic closer with adjustable spring tension, and the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 ADA surface mount closer with a tri-pack arm, size 2-5. The Calibre CA9901 size range starts at 2, so verify it against the door width being served.
14) Is the plastic cover included on the Norton Rixson 2800ST closer, or is it a separate line item?
The cover on the 2800ST is plastic, and whether you get one is a yes or no choice made when ordering. If you are matching the look of closers already installed down a corridor, specify the cover. If the closer is going somewhere the body is hidden or where covers get pulled off and lost anyway, you can order without it. Finish on the closer is either 689 aluminum or 690 dark bronze.
15) What is the closest slide track alternative to the Norton Rixson 2800ST from another brand?
The Corbin Russwin DC5230 is the nearest match in the slide track class: Grade 1, slide track arm standard, pull side mounting, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Difference to watch is that the DC5230 is catalogued as pull side mounting, while the 2800ST is offered in both push side and pull side. The Dormakaba 8916-JT is a jamb track, frame face mounted Grade 1 closer with size 1-6 adjustment and heavy duty rating, which is the option if the arm has to land on the frame face rather than the door.
16) Can the Norton Rixson 2800ST be mounted on the push side of a door with a narrow top rail?
Push side mounting is supported and gives the wider 140 degree opening range, but the slide track and shoe need a flat mounting surface. Where the top rail is short, add the push side drop plate, which is offered as an order option specifically to make that mounting work. On the pull side you get 110 degrees of opening instead, which is the constraint to check if the door has to swing back flat against a wall.
17) What is a simpler alternative to the Norton Rixson 2800ST when a slide track is not required?
The 2800ST is a slide track cam action closer. Where a standard projecting arm is acceptable, the Corbin Russwin DC3200 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a regular arm, and the Falcon SC81A is a medium duty Grade 1 cast aluminum surface closer. The Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 tri-pack unit with adjustable spring size 1-6, matching the 2800ST spring range, and ships regular or parallel arm so one part covers either mounting. Regular arm units project into the opening, which the slide track of the 2800ST does not.
18) Does the Norton Rixson 2800ST need to be ordered as a hold open version, or can hold open be added later like on other closers?
Hold open on the 2800ST is chosen at the time of order: it is built in hold open and non-hold open configurations, in 689 aluminum and 690 dark bronze, for push side or pull side. Other lines in the category split the same way by part number rather than by adjustment. The Accentra 51 Series is supplied with a tri-packed hold open arm and the Accentra 1101BF with a tri-packed non-hold open arm; Orca Hardware BHDC1958 is offered as a hold open arm version and as a non-hold open regular arm version. Specify the hold open state on the purchase order in every case.
19) Is the Arrow DCN500DP drop plate a substitute for the push side drop plate used with the Norton Rixson 2800ST?
No. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate made for the Arrow DCN500 closer, not a universal mounting plate. The push side drop plate for the 2800ST is ordered with the closer itself as an added option. Drop plates are cut to a specific closer body footprint and hole pattern, so a plate built for one manufacturer's body will not line up under another.
20) What Grade 1 closer covers the same spring size 1 through 6 range as the Norton Rixson 2800ST?
The 2800ST uses an adjustable spring size, sized 1 through 6. Peers covering the same range include the Accentra 2701, a Grade 1 architectural closer with tri-pack mounting and adjustable spring sizes 1-6; the Dorma 8916-JT, a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for pull side frame face mounting, adjustable size 1-6; the BEST EHD9000, extra heavy-duty Grade 1 with sizes 1-6; and the Imperial USA TC4300, a Grade 1 heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer. Only the Dorma 8916-JT among these uses a track arm rather than a projecting arm.
21) For standardizing a facility, which closers match the Norton Rixson 2800ST on Grade 1 but come with a full cover?
The 2800ST is supplied with a plastic cover and holds ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1. Among Grade 1 peers, the Dexter DCH1000 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a full cover and tri mount for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a medium to heavy duty closer supplied with a cover. Note that the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are both Grade 1 tri-pack units furnished less cover, so a cover has to be handled separately on those.
22) Is the Norton Rixson 2800ST suitable for a residential apartment entry, or is it strictly commercial?
It is a commercial closer. On multi-tenant residential it is a normal fit for corridor, stairwell, and common area doors, which is where the ADA opening force and Grade 1 rating actually matter. For a low-use interior door in a single dwelling it is more closer than the opening needs, and a lighter unit like the Deltana DC10 or the Falcon SC91A (Grade 3, light duty) is the closer match to that job.
23) What is the 2800ST body made of, and will it hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
Cast aluminum body with a plastic cover. Cast aluminum will not rust the way a cast iron closer does, which is the practical difference on humid, coastal, or frequently cleaned openings. Where you specifically want cast iron mass instead, the LCN 1261 is a cast iron surface closer with size 1-5 adjustment, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty cast iron body.
24) Are the Stanley Security 327 and 341 wardrobe pivots alternatives to the Norton Rixson 2800ST?
No. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 lbs, and the Stanley 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. Those are hanging hardware, not closing devices. The 2800ST is a surface mounted closer for doors up to 250 lbs. For a closer with a hold open arm on a top jamb application, the Stanley Security A45-501HL is supplied with a long hold open arm standard for top jamb mounting.
25) Which cast aluminum closers compare to the Norton Rixson 2800ST for a high traffic commercial interior?
The 2800ST has a cast aluminum body and is rated for high traffic commercial use. Cast aluminum peers include the Falcon SC61A, a light to medium duty Grade 1 cast aluminum surface closer, the Falcon SC81A in medium duty Grade 1, the LCN 1450, a medium duty cast aluminum closer with spring sizes 1-6, and the Sargent 1331, a Grade 1 medium duty closer with a universal aluminum body. For comparison, the LCN 1261 and the Sargent 281 use cast iron bodies instead.
