Norton Rixson 7500-689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What applications is the Norton Rixson 7500 series door closer designed for?
The 7500 series is an institutional-grade closer built for high-traffic commercial applications. It handles heavy-duty use in schools, hospitals, office buildings, and government facilities where reliable operation is critical.
2) What does "tri-packed" mean for this door closer?
Tri-packed means the closer includes three different arm configurations in one package. This provides flexibility to choose regular arm, top jamb, or parallel arm mounting based on your specific installation requirements.
3) How do I determine the correct door handing for installation?
Stand on the pull side of the door. If hinges are on your left, it's left-hand. If hinges are on your right, it's right-hand. The 7500 series can be field-adjusted for different handing configurations using the included arms.
4) What door sizes and weights does this closer accommodate?
Verify specific capacity with manufacturer specifications. Most institutional closers in this class handle doors up to 48 inches wide and 200+ pounds. Always confirm door dimensions and weight before installation to ensure proper operation.
5) What power rating does the Norton Rixson 7500 series provide?
The 7500 series typically provides adjustable power to meet various door requirements. Check the specific model designation for exact power ratings. Most institutional closers offer multiple adjustment points for opening and closing force.
6) Does this closer meet ADA and building code requirements?
Norton Rixson institutional closers are designed to meet ADA opening force requirements when properly adjusted. Verify local building codes and fire door requirements. Professional installation ensures proper compliance with all applicable codes.
7) What mounting template should I use for installation?
Use the Norton Rixson factory template specific to the 7500 series and your chosen arm configuration. Templates ensure accurate hole placement and proper closer alignment. Never estimate mounting locations without the correct template.
8) How do I adjust the closing speed and latch action?
The 7500 series features independent adjustment valves for sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck. Turn adjustment screws clockwise to increase resistance, counterclockwise to decrease. Make small adjustments and test operation between changes.
9) What regular maintenance does this closer require?
Inspect mounting screws quarterly for tightness. Check arm connections and pivot points for wear. Clean closer body and arms with mild soap solution. Readjust speeds as needed due to seasonal temperature changes affecting hydraulic fluid viscosity.
10) Are replacement parts available for the 7500 series?
Yes, Norton Rixson provides replacement arms, adjustment screws, and rebuild kits for the 7500 series. Individual arm assemblies can be ordered separately if only one mounting configuration is needed for future installations.
11) Can this closer be used on fire-rated doors?
Check the closer label and documentation for fire door listings. Many Norton Rixson institutional closers are listed for use on fire-rated assemblies. Verify the specific 7500 series model meets your fire door requirements before installation.
12) What environmental conditions affect closer performance?
Extreme temperatures affect hydraulic fluid viscosity and closing speeds. High humidity and corrosive environments may require special finishes. Install closers in conditioned spaces when possible. Consider low-temperature fluid options for cold climate installations.
