Norton Rixson H180 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Norton Rixson 128 Series top pivot come in a 1-1/2 inch offset as well as 3/4 inch?
Both offsets are offered. The 128 Series offset top pivot is ordered as either a 3/4 inch offset or a 1-1/2 inch offset, and the offset has to match the bottom pivot or floor closer already in the opening. Mixing a 3/4 inch top with a 1-1/2 inch bottom puts the door out of alignment and binds the swing.
2) Will this top pivot carry the weight of the door by itself?
No. The 128 Series top pivot only steadies the door at the head. The weight is carried by the bottom pivot or the floor closer underneath, and the 300 lb door rating applies to the assembly working together. Order the matching bottom pivot or floor closer with it.
3) Can I use this pivot on a fire rated door?
No. The 128 Series offset top pivot is not fire rated, so it should not go on a labeled opening. For a rated door you need pivot hardware carrying a fire label.
4) What door thickness does this Norton Rixson top pivot need?
Minimum 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which is the standard commercial leaf. Thinner doors do not give enough material for the mortise prep in the top of the door.
5) Will this work on an aluminum storefront door, or only wood and hollow metal?
Wood, hollow metal, and aluminum doors and frames all work, provided the door and header are reinforced for the mortise prep. The pivot mortises into the top of the door and into the frame header, so the header needs backing to take the fastener load.
6) Do I need to order a left hand and right hand version of this pivot?
No handing to specify. The 128 Series offset top pivot is non-handed, so the same part works on a left or right hand opening. You only pick the offset and the finish.
7) Is this a surface applied pivot or does the door have to be prepped?
It mortises in. The pivot sets into a cut in the top of the door and a matching mortise in the frame header, so you are cutting prep on both sides, not screwing a plate to the face. Templates are used to lay out the mortise locations. The upside is a concealed, tamper resistant installation.
8) Is this pivot rated for a high traffic entrance in a school or hospital?
Yes, it is built for commercial traffic. The pivot is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, which is the top grade in that standard for hinges and pivots, and it runs on anti-friction needle bearings for the cycle life a public entrance demands. Steel construction throughout.
9) What finishes can I get this Norton Rixson pivot in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Six finishes, in both offsets: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. 626 satin chrome is the usual match for commercial openings already running 626 levers and closers.
