Norton Rixson 42885N-RH605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 428 floor closer handle a full-glass entrance door that weighs about 300 lbs?
Yes. The 428 Series is rated for doors up to 325 lbs, and the description gives a maximum door size of 3'2" x 8'0". It's a heavy duty, single acting, center hung closer, so the floor unit carries the full weight of the door rather than the frame or hinges.
2) Does the Rixson 428 swing both ways, or only one direction?
One direction only. The 428 is single acting, so it opens one way and closes back to a stop. For a door that needs to swing in and out, you need a double acting center hung floor closer instead.
3) Do I have to order the Rixson 428 handed?
Yes, handing is part of the order. Because it's a single acting closer, you pick Left Hand or Right Hand at the time of order. Stand outside the door, on the side it swings away from, and the hinge side tells you the hand.
4) What opening angle can I set the dead stop on the 428 to?
The built-in positive dead stop is ordered at 85, 90, 95, or 105 degrees. That stop is in the closer body, so it takes the impact instead of a wall bumper, which is why it gets specified on glass fronts where there's nothing to stop against. Pick the degree that clears adjacent glass, sidelites, or a return wall.
5) Is the Rixson 428 Grade 1 for a spec that calls for commercial floor closers?
It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 and is designated commercial duty. That's the standard covering door controls, and Grade 1 is the highest cycle and performance tier within it, which is what institutional and government specs usually call out.
6) Is the Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm an alternative if I want a hold open function instead of the Norton Rixson 428?
No, those solve the problem in two different places. The Deltana DCHA1050 is a hold open arm for the DC10 door closer, so it is surface-closer hardware that mounts on a swing door with a frame-mounted arm. The Norton Rixson 428 is a center hung, single acting floor closer concealed in the floor under a tempered glass door. If you want hold open in the 428 family, it is ordered on the closer itself - the arm function is offered as Non-Hold Open or Selective Hold Open, since the base 428 record carries a Hold Open Feature of No.
7) I need a bottom arm for an offset pivot glass door - does the Norton Rixson 428 cover that, or do I need something else?
The 428 is a center hung closer, mounted center hung, and it ships with top and bottom patch fittings for tempered glass 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch thick, so it is built around a center-pivot opening rather than an offset one. For an offset hung door, the Dorma 15323 is a 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, rated standard duty and not fire rated. Confirm your floor prep and pivot location before choosing between the two, because the offset arm and the center hung 428 are not interchangeable in the same opening.
8) For a fire-rated opening, is the Norton Rixson 428 the right choice or should I be looking at an LCN track closer?
The 428 is an ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 commercial floor closer for center hung glass doors and carries no hold open in its base configuration. If the opening is a fire or life safety door taking a surface closer with a track arm, the LCN 4040SE-3038 is a standard track for fire and life safety door closers in the 4040SE series, and the LCN 4040SEH-3038 is the hold open track version in the 4000 series. Those are track components for a surface closer, not a swap for an in-floor closer, so the decision comes down to whether the door is a glass center hung leaf or a framed door with a header-mounted closer.
9) Can I get the Rixson 428 to hold the door open?
There are two arm functions offered: Non-Hold Open and Selective Hold Open. Order Selective Hold Open if you want the door to stand open at the set degree, for instance during deliveries or move-ins. The base product data lists the closer as non hold open, so the hold open behavior comes from choosing that arm function.
10) What is the sealed closer option on the Rixson 428 for?
The sealed option is a yes/no choice at order time. It's the one to take when the floor box is exposed to washdown, weather at an exterior entrance, or any location where water can reach the case. Interior lobby and partition doors are normally ordered without it.
11) Is there an ADA opening force option for the Rixson 428?
There's a lighter spring option ordered yes or no. Take the lighter spring where you need reduced opening force, such as an interior door in a facility being brought in line with accessible opening force requirements. On a heavy exterior glass door exposed to wind, the standard spring is usually the one that will still close and latch reliably.
12) Can I adjust closing speed and latching on the 428 after it's installed?
Yes. Separate independent valves control closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck, and there is a delay function as well. Backcheck is what stops a heavy glass door being thrown into the dead stop by wind, so tune that first on an exterior opening.
13) Do I need anything else at the header to finish a 428 installation?
A frame stop at the header on the lock side is required for proper door operation and alignment, per the install sequence. The top and bottom patch fittings come with the closer, so the glass mounting hardware itself is covered.
14) How is a center hung floor closer like the Rixson 428 different from an overhead closer with a track arm?
The 428 is concealed in the floor, carries the weight of the door on its spindle, and leaves nothing visible at the head, which is why it's used on all-glass fronts with no top rail to mount to. Overhead closer accessories we carry, like the LCN 4040SE-3038 standard track or the 4040SEH-3038 hold open track, belong to surface mounted closers that hang off a door with a frame and a header to screw into. If your door has a frame and you aren't trying to hide the hardware, an overhead closer is simpler to install and service. If it's tempered glass in a storefront, the floor closer is the one that works.
15) What is the difference between ordering the Norton Rixson 428 and just buying a closer accessories kit like the Cal-Royal 900?
The 428 is a complete heavy duty floor closer rated for doors up to 325 lbs, single acting, with independent closing speed, latch speed and backcheck valves and a built-in dead stop at 85, 90, 95 or 105 degrees. The Cal-Royal 900 Series accessories kit is a parts kit for 900 Series commercial door controls, so it supplements a closer you already have rather than providing the closing mechanism. If your existing surface closer only needs brackets or arm parts, an accessory kit is the scope; if the door itself needs a controlling device in the floor, the 428 is.
16) My door has a deep reveal and I was told to use a cush shoe support - does that apply to the Norton Rixson 428?
No. Reveal is a frame dimension that matters for surface closers with a soffit-mounted arm; the LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support is made for door closers with 3-1/16 inch reveal compatibility in the 1260 series. The Norton Rixson 428 is a center hung in-floor closer, so there is no arm reaching back to a frame reveal - its install variables are the floor prep, the extended spindle length for threshold applications, and handing, which is ordered left hand or right hand.
17) If I am retrofitting where a surface closer failed on a wood or metal door, is the 428 a drop-in replacement?
It is not a drop-in. Replacing a surface closer with the Norton Rixson 428 means cutting a floor pocket for a center hung closer and hanging the leaf on the closer spindle, and the 428 is supplied with patch fittings sized for tempered glass 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch thick. A surface closer retrofit stays at the header instead - the LCN 1260-18QF quick fix bracket kit is made for mounting door closers in the 1000 series, and the Deltana DCCA4041 is a cushion arm for the DC40 closer. Choose based on whether the leaf is glass and can be re-hung center hung.
18) For an ADA-sensitive entry, does the Norton Rixson 428 have a lighter option or do I need a different closer?
You stay within the 428. It is offered with a lighter spring option for ADA, selectable yes or no when you configure it, alongside the swing degree stop of 85, 90, 95 or 105 and finishes in 605 bright brass, 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel. None of the surface closer arms and tracks in the comparable group - such as the Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm or the LCN 4040SE-3038 track - change the spring power of the closer they attach to, so the lighter spring decision belongs to the closer order itself.
19) What finishes do the 428 patch fittings come in for a storefront that's already stainless?
Three: 605 Bright Brass, 629 Bright Stainless Steel, and 630 Satin Stainless Steel. For an existing brushed stainless glass front, 630 satin is the match; 629 is the polished mirror finish.
20) Can I use a Dorma offset bottom arm instead of this Rixson floor closer?
No, those are different parts for different jobs. The Dorma 15323 is a 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, a standard duty accessory, not a closer body. The Rixson 428 is the complete heavy duty floor closer with the patch fittings for the glass. If you're replacing a closer, you need the closer; an arm alone won't do it.
