Norton Rixson 40A-LAP-90 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Rixson 40 Series a single acting or double acting floor closer?
Single acting, and offset hung. It controls a door swinging one direction only, with the door hung on an offset pivot rather than center hung. If you need a leaf that swings both ways, a center hung double acting floor closer is the right type instead.
2) Is the Norton Rixson 40 Series floor closer Grade 1 and certified to a standard?
Grade 1, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, the standard covering door controls. It is rated heavy duty for high traffic commercial use, which is the combination most institutional and government specs call for on main entrances.
3) I need hold-open on a floor-closed door - does the Norton Rixson 40 Series do that, or do I need something else?
The Norton Rixson 40 Series floor closer is built without a hold-open feature, so it closes the door on every cycle. If hold-open is what the opening calls for, that function lives in closer-specific accessories such as the Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm for the DC10 door closer or the LCN 4040SEH-3038 hold open track. Both of those attach to overhead closers rather than a floor-mounted unit, so choosing hold-open generally means moving the door control from the floor to the head of the frame.
4) Is a surface closer arm or track a substitute for the Norton Rixson 40 Series floor closer?
No. The Norton Rixson 40 Series is a floor-mounted, offset hung, single acting door control with adjustable closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck built into the closer body set into the floor. Parts like the LCN 4040SE-3038 standard track for fire/life safety door closers, the Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm for the DC40 closer, and the Dorma 15323 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover are arms, tracks, and brackets that work with their own closer families. They mount at or near the head of the door and do not replace a closer body set into the floor.
5) What can I adjust on this floor closer after it is installed?
Three independent adjustments: closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck. Closing and latch speed are set separately so you can slow the sweep but still get positive latching, and backcheck cushions the leaf when someone throws the door open into a wall.
6) Should I use a floor closer or a surface mounted closer on a heavy entrance door?
A floor closer like the 40 Series buries the closer body in the floor, so nothing shows on the door or frame head, which is why it gets specified on glass and monumental entrances and anywhere the architect does not want hardware visible. The trade off is the floor work: you cut an opening, verify substrate strength, and account for drainage on exterior openings. A surface closer mounts to the door or frame with no floor prep at all and is far cheaper to retrofit, so use it when the appearance does not matter or the slab cannot be cut.
7) Will a floor closer hold up on an exterior door in a wet climate?
The 40 Series is built from high strength steel and stainless steel with corrosion resistant materials, and it is specified for interior and exterior openings. On an exterior installation the thing that decides longevity is the floor prep: the closer sits in a cement case in the slab, so drainage has to be addressed during installation or water collects around the body.
8) I need a closer arm or bracket, not a whole floor closer. What are my options?
Floor closers like the 40 Series are a complete in floor unit, not a bolt on arm. If what you actually need is an arm or bracket for an existing surface closer, the fit is by closer family: the Dorma 15323 is a 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, the LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support suits a 3-1/16 inch reveal, the LCN 1260-18QF is a quick fix bracket kit for the 1000 Series, and the Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm is for the DC40. The Cal-Royal 900 Series accessories kit covers 900 Series closers.
9) What do I have to do to the floor before installing a Rixson 40 Series closer?
Plan on cutting a floor opening sized for the closer body, drilling the mounting holes from the manufacturer template, and confirming the substrate is strong enough and drains. Alignment with the door pivot points is set off that template, so mark it before you cut. Once the body is anchored and the arm is connected to the door, you set speed, latch, and backcheck and cycle the leaf.
10) For a heavy high-traffic entrance, how does the Norton Rixson 40 Series compare to the Dorma 15323 bottom arm on duty rating?
The Norton Rixson 40 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty door control rated for high traffic in commercial and institutional openings, carrying doors up to 300 lb and 4 ft wide. The Dorma 15323 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover is rated standard duty and is not fire rated. If the specification on the drawing calls for heavy duty at the entrance, the 40 Series is the one that meets it; the 15323 is a bottom arm component for a lighter application.
11) Can I order a Cal-Royal 900 Series accessories kit to service a Norton Rixson 40 Series floor closer?
No. The Cal-Royal 900 Series door closer accessories kit is matched to Cal-Royal 900 Series closers, and the Norton Rixson unit is a 40 Series floor closer with its adjustable closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck controls in the floor-mounted body. Closer accessories are series-specific, so parts for a 900 Series surface closer will not serve a 40 Series floor closer. Order 40 Series components when servicing the 40 Series.
12) The opening is double acting - will the Norton Rixson 40 Series work?
The Norton Rixson 40 Series floor closer is configured single acting and offset hung, so it controls a door swinging one direction on offset pivots. A double acting center-hung opening needs a closer built for that swing. Among door control accessories, items such as the Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm for the DC40 closer or the LCN 4040SE-3038 standard track are tied to surface closers and do not convert a single acting floor closer to double acting.
13) What finishes does the Rixson 40 Series floor closer come in?
626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless, and 613 oil rubbed bronze are the named architectural finishes, so you can match the exposed arm and cover plate to the pulls and pivots already on the opening.
