Norton Rixson 7500H-M-690 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Norton Rixson 7500 door closer Grade 1, and does it meet the ANSI standard for a school or hospital corridor?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, the door closer standard, at the top grade. It is also classed heavy duty with a high traffic rating and specified commercial rather than residential, which is the combination a facility standard for education or healthcare corridors normally calls for.
2) Do I have to order a specific spring size for the Norton Rixson 7500 closer, or is it adjustable in the field?
Spring power is adjustable on the unit, so you are not picking a fixed size at the order stage. That matters on a retrofit where you do not know the leaf weight until you are on site, and on a multi-building order where the openings vary: one part number covers the range and the installer dials in closing force, backcheck and latch speed at the door.
3) Which surface closer gives hold open like the Norton Rixson 7500 if a different brand is required on the job?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series carries a hold open arm that parks the door at a set angle. For hold open from another line, the Accentra 51 Series is supplied with a tri-packed hold open arm in sizes 1 through 6, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958HO/PA is a hold open closer with a parallel bracket, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL uses a long hold open arm in a top jamb application. The Accentra and Orca units ship tri-packed or with the parallel bracket, so the mounting position is decided at install rather than at order.
4) What should be used instead of the Norton Rixson 7500 Series on a light interior door that does not need 250 lb capacity?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is built around doors up to 250 lbs at a heavy duty level, which is more closer than a light interior office or corridor leaf calls for. For those openings the BEST SL6000 Series is a Grade 1 light duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes, the Arrow DC314 is a Grade 1 surface mounted closer at a light duty level, and the LCN 1250 Series is a light duty surface closer in sizes 1 through 5 with all-weather fluid and ADA compliant operation. All three still mount on the surface, so the door prep approach does not change.
5) Which closers come with a full cover like the Norton Rixson 7500 Series, and which ship without one?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is furnished with a metal cover over the closer body. The Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount surface closer supplied with a full cover, and the Design Hardware 316 Series is a heavy duty closer supplied with a cover. Against those, the Arrow DCN314 and Arrow DCN325 are Grade 1 surface closers described as less cover, with tri-pack regular and parallel arms in adjustable spring sizes 1 to 4 and 1 to 6 respectively. If the opening is a finished public corridor where the body should not be exposed, the cover is the difference to check before ordering.
6) Which closer should be used instead of the Norton Rixson 7500 Series when the pull side has no room for a regular arm?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is surface mounted with a hold open arm. Where the arm geometry has to change to suit the opening, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm as standard in pull side mounting for doors 1-3/4 inch thick, the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a jamb track and flat non-hold open arm in frame face pull side mounting with adjustable size 1 to 6, and the Dormakaba 8616 AF86P is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a tri-pack flat non-hold open arm. Track and flat arm styles sit tighter to the door and frame than a projecting arm.
7) What heavier closer is available if the Norton Rixson 7500 Series is at its 250 lb limit?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is rated for doors up to 250 lbs. For a leaf beyond what a heavy duty closer should be asked to handle, the BEST EHD9000 Series is an extra heavy duty surface mounted closer at Grade 1 with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, and the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with a cast iron body. A cast iron body and an extra heavy duty rating are the two things to look at on an oversized or abused exterior opening.
8) Are there ADA barrier free alternatives to the Norton Rixson 7500 Series surface closer?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is an adjustable spring size surface closer with adjustable closing speed, backcheck and latching force. Where the opening has to meet a barrier free or ADA opening force target, the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a Grade 1 barrier free hydraulic surface closer, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm ADA surface mount closer in sizes 2 through 5, and the Imperial USA TC4300 is a heavy duty size 1 through 6 ADA closer. The adjustable spring range is what lets any of these be dialed to the required opening force.
9) What closer adds delayed action, which the Norton Rixson 7500 Series hold open arm does not provide?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series hold open arm parks the door at a set angle until it is pushed out of hold open. Delayed action is a different behavior: the door starts closing on its own but pauses before it does. The Orca Hardware BHDC1958DA/PA is a delayed action closer with a regular arm and parallel bracket for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca Hardware BHDC2011DA/PA is the same delayed action arrangement in the BHDC2011 series for 1-3/4 inch doors. On a healthcare or school opening where carts and slower traffic pass through, delayed action does what a hold open arm is not meant to do.
10) Is a Grade 2 or Grade 3 closer an acceptable stand in for the Norton Rixson 7500 Series?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 for high traffic commercial openings, and a Grade 1 line item on a drawing is not satisfied by a lower grade. The Cal-Royal 400 Series is a Grade 2 commercial hydraulic closer and the Falcon SC91A is a Grade 3 light duty cast aluminum surface closer, so neither substitutes where Grade 1 is called out. If the spec allows Grade 1 at a lighter duty instead, the Arrow DC314 and the BEST SL6000 Series are both Grade 1 light duty surface closers.
11) Can a surface mounted door closer like the Norton Rixson 7500 be retrofitted without modifying the door?
Surface mounted is the point of it. The body screws to the door or frame face and the arm to the opposite surface, so there is no mortising of the leaf and no concealed pocket in the header. That is what makes it the practical choice on an existing opening. A concealed-in-door or floor closer is the alternative when the architect does not want visible hardware, but those need a prepped door or a floor pocket and are not a same-day swap.
12) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 7500 heavy duty closer and a light duty surface closer?
Duty level is the whole difference on a high-cycle opening. The 7500 is rated heavy duty for high traffic at Grade 1. Light duty Grade 1 surface closers we carry, like the Arrow DC314 in the DC300 Series or the BEST SL6000 Series, are the right call on an interior office or storeroom door that cycles a few dozen times a day. For a main entrance, a stairwell or a corridor in a school, stay with heavy duty.
13) What other heavy duty Grade 1 surface door closers could I use instead of the Norton Rixson 7500?
Several direct heavy duty Grade 1 equivalents: the Falcon SC71A Series, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, the BEST HD8000 Series, and the BEST EHD9000 Series if you want extra heavy duty. The Sargent 281 Powerglide is the cast iron heavy duty option. The Dormakaba 8616 in the 8600 Series is heavy duty Grade 1 supplied tri-pack with a flat arm, which is useful when you do not yet know whether the opening will be regular, top jamb or parallel arm.
14) I need a door closer that holds the door open. Does the Norton Rixson 7500 do that, or what should I order?
For a confirmed hold open arm, order a closer built for it: the Accentra 51 Series comes with a tri-packed hold open arm, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 hold open version ships with a parallel bracket and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm for top jamb mounting. Any of those settles the function without ambiguity. Note that a hold open arm on a fire rated opening is generally not permitted unless it releases on alarm.
15) Which Corbin Russwin surface closer lines up with the Norton Rixson 7500 Series on a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface closer for commercial openings. Corbin Russwin lists four Grade 1 surface closers for 1-3/4 inch doors: the DC3200 with a regular arm in surface mounting, the DC6200 with a double lever regular arm in pull side mounting, the DC8200 with a double lever regular arm in pull side mounting, and the DC5230 with a slide track arm in pull side mounting. The arm style and mounting side are what separate them, so match those to the frame condition before picking a series.
16) Is there a mid range alternative to the Norton Rixson 7500 Series for moderate traffic commercial doors?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series sits at a heavy duty level for high traffic openings. Where the traffic is moderate, the BEST HD7000 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface mounted closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control, the Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 medium duty adjustable surface closer described for medium-traffic commercial use, the Falcon SC81A is a Grade 1 medium duty cast aluminum surface closer, and the Dormakaba 7414 is a Grade 1 medium duty closer in size 1 through 4. Each holds Grade 1 while stepping the duty level down from heavy.
17) What looks like a substitute for the Norton Rixson 7500 Series door closer but will not do the job?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is a surface mounted door closer with an adjustable size spring. Several nearby items share the door control shelf without closing a door: the Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting bracket rather than a closer; the Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 lbs; the Stanley Security 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch; and Stanley Security 57-0100 is a box of 100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of those provides controlled closing, and a pivot in particular only hangs the leaf.
18) Which surface closers pair with the Norton Rixson 7500 Series when standardizing a facility on Grade 1 across mixed door weights?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 at a heavy duty level for commercial use. A facility can hold the Grade 1 basis across lighter and heavier leaves within a single family: BEST lists the SL6000 Series as Grade 1 light duty, the HD7000 Series as Grade 1 medium duty, the HD8000 Series as Grade 1 heavy duty, and the EHD9000 Series as Grade 1 extra heavy duty with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6. Falcon runs the same ladder with the SC61A at Grade 1 light to medium duty, the SC81A at Grade 1 medium duty, and the SC71A at Grade 1 heavy duty. Standardizing on one family keeps the spring adjustment and service routine the same for the maintenance crew.
19) Which closers should a distributor not confuse with the Norton Rixson 7500 Series when the customer only says heavy duty closer?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with a hold open arm. Several peers carry heavy duty branding but a non-hold open arm: the Design Hardware 116 Series and 416 Series are both heavy duty closers with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, the Accentra 2701 Series is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 through 6, and the Accentra 1101BF is a tri-packed non-hold open arm closer in sizes 1 through 4. If the order was placed on hold open, the arm function has to be confirmed and not inferred from the duty level.
20) Is a cover included with the Norton Rixson 7500 surface closer, or do I order it separately?
A cover comes with it, so the body is concealed once installed and you are not adding a line item. Worth knowing if you are cross-shopping: several Grade 1 surface closers are sold less cover, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 among them, and on those the cover is a separate purchase if the opening is in a public area where an exposed body is not acceptable.
