Norton Rixson 7786 696 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which Norton Rixson drop plate do I need, 7786, 7787 or 7788?
Three plates cover three different obstructions. The 7786 is the narrow frame plate, for a top jamb application where the frame face won't take the closer. The 7787 is the low ceiling clearance plate, for top jamb openings where the header or ceiling soffit sits too close above the frame. The 7788 is the narrow top rail plate, for regular arm mounting on a door whose top rail is too shallow to carry the closer body. Pick by what is short on your opening: frame width, headroom, or door top rail.
2) Will these drop plates fit my Norton 7500 or 7700 closer?
They are made for the Norton Rixson 7500 Series, and that family includes the 7500ST, PS7500ST, 7700ST and PS7700ST closers in both non-hold-open and hold-open builds. If the closer body on your door is a 7500 Series unit, the plate lines up with it. A closer from another series or another manufacturer needs that maker's own plate.
3) Can I use a Norton Rixson drop plate for regular arm, parallel arm and top jamb mounting?
All three mounting methods are covered across the plates, but not by one part. Regular arm, parallel arm and top jamb are the configurations the 7500 Series plates support, and you choose the plate that matches the obstruction on your specific mount: 7788 for a shallow door top rail on a regular arm install, 7786 for a narrow frame face, 7787 where headroom above the frame is tight on a top jamb mount.
4) I need a drop plate to match closers in dark bronze, black and aluminum across a building. What finishes do the Norton Rixson 7500 plates come in?
Nine finishes, and all nine are offered on each of the three plates: 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 flat black, 694 medium bronze, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. That covers the standard Norton closer finish range, so a property manager standardizing a fleet can order the plate in the same code already on the closers.
5) Does a drop plate work with a slide track closer, or only with a standard arm?
Slide track builds are part of the same 7500 Series family the plates serve, including the 7540ST and 7740ST push or pull non-hold-open units and the 7540STH and 7740STH hold-open units. The plate carries the closer body; the track mounts to the door or frame on the opposite side of the assembly and is unaffected by which plate you choose.
6) Is a drop plate included with a Norton Rixson 7500 closer, or do I order it separately?
Order it separately. The 7786, 7787 and 7788 are accessories to the closer, specified when the opening won't take a direct mount. Work out which surface is short first, then order one plate per door in the finish matching the closer. For a standard opening with a full-depth top rail and normal frame face, no plate is needed at all.
7) Do I need a different drop plate for a hold-open closer than for a non-hold-open one?
No. The plate is chosen by the mounting obstruction, not by the closer's hold-open function. The 7500 Series plates work with both non-hold-open and hold-open configurations, so a 7786, 7787 or 7788 in the finish you need serves either build.
8) Are Norton Rixson 7786 drop plates rated for commercial traffic openings?
Commercial is the stated application for the 7500 Series plates, and they are used on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, industrial and warehouse buildings, multi-tenant residential and government work. The plate carries the closer body, so the duty rating that matters on the opening comes from the 7500 Series closer you mount to it.
