Norton Rixson 7701-1A-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Norton Rixson 7701-1A and what does it do?
It's a J top jamb arm assembly, a replacement arm for Norton Rixson door closers where the closer body mounts on the frame face at the top of the opening and the arm reaches back to the door. It's the non-hold open version, so the door always closes under the closer's control with no detent or stop to park it open.
2) Will this Norton Rixson J arm work on a closer from another brand?
No. The J top jamb arm assembly is built for Norton Rixson closers and matches their arm-to-spindle and shoe geometry. If the closer body on the door is LCN, Dorma, Yale or anything else, get that manufacturer's own top jamb arm instead; arms are not cross-brand parts.
3) I need the door to stay open for deliveries. Is this the right arm?
It isn't. This assembly is the non-hold open configuration, which means it gives you controlled closing only and will not park the door open. For a door that has to stay open you need the hold open version of the arm, or a separate floor or wall stop with a hold open. Also worth checking before you order a hold open arm: on a fire rated opening, a mechanical hold open is generally not permitted.
4) Is this a whole door closer or just the arm?
Just the arm. The 7701-1A is a component, the J top jamb arm assembly, intended to replace a bent, sprung or missing arm on a closer that is otherwise still working. It does not include the closer body, cover, or mounting brackets, so if the closer itself is leaking oil or has lost its control you need a complete closer rather than this part.
5) Can an SDC 480 Series push plate actuator be used in place of the Norton Rixson 7701-1A J top jamb arm assembly?
No. The Norton Rixson 7701-1A is a mechanical J top jamb arm assembly that links a Norton Rixson door closer body to the frame and provides non-hold-open closing action. The SDC 480 Series is a push plate actuator built with 18 gauge stainless steel construction - a wall-mounted switch that signals a door operator or electric lock to release. One is the closer's arm linkage, the other is the button a user presses; a 480 actuator cannot transmit closing force and will not replace the arm.
6) If I need a way to trigger a door from a wall switch rather than replace a closer arm, what should I look at instead of the Norton Rixson 7701-1A?
Look at push plate actuators. The Camden CM-40 Series is a 4-1/2 inch round all-active switch and the Camden CM-60 Series is a 6 inch round all-active switch offered wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter. The Locknetics PPH-100-PL is a large round push plate supplied with a box. The Norton Rixson 7701-1A serves a different purpose entirely - it is the top jamb arm linkage for a Norton Rixson door closer, with non-hold-open operation.
7) Can I use a top jamb arm when the closer won't fit on the pull side of the door?
That's exactly the case top jamb mounting solves. The closer body sits on the frame face above the door on the push side, and the J arm reaches down to a shoe on the door, which keeps the closer off the door leaf entirely. It's a common answer on aluminum storefront and on openings where a transom or overhead obstruction rules out regular arm mounting on the pull side.
8) The Norton Rixson 7701-1A is non-hold open. What product gives me a timed hold instead?
The 7701-1A arm assembly closes the door without holding it open, so a hold function has to come from elsewhere in the system. On the actuator side, Alarm Controls offers pneumatic time delay plates: the JP Series is a jumbo pneumatic time delay push plate, and the PD Series covers pneumatic time delay PD, PN, PS and PT vandal resistant push plates. Those hold an electric release open for a delay period rather than mechanically holding the door leaf, so confirm which behavior the opening requires.
9) For an ADA accessible entrance, is the Norton Rixson 7701-1A arm assembly the right choice or do I need something else?
The 7701-1A is a closer arm component for commercial openings and does not itself provide accessible actuation. If the opening needs an accessible activation device, the SDC 480AA Series is a 36 inch by 6 inch Ingress-R.E.X touch panel column for ADA compliant access control, and the SDC BP Series square bollard posts come as 6 inch by 6 inch units in a BPS6 surface mount 42 inch height and a BPG6 in-ground 54 inch height for exterior approach mounting. Those are used alongside a closer, not in place of its arm.
10) I have a vestibule with two doors. Does the Norton Rixson 7701-1A cover both leaves?
No. The 7701-1A is a single J top jamb arm assembly serving one Norton Rixson closer on one leaf, so a two-leaf vestibule needs an arm for each closer. For sequencing the activation of both doors, the SDC 480V Series is a vestibule push plate actuator with dual switch activation, listed with a vestibule product function.
11) Is the Norton Rixson J arm assembly suitable for a school or hospital corridor door?
Yes, it's a commercial-duty part and the material is corrosion resistant for high traffic openings, including offices, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial buildings and multi-tenant residential. Since it is non-hold open, it suits corridor and stair doors where the door has to return closed every cycle.
12) We get abuse on our doors. Is the Norton Rixson 7701-1A arm assembly built for that, or is there a vandal resistant option?
The Norton Rixson 7701-1A arm assembly uses high-strength, corrosion-resistant construction intended for high-traffic commercial and institutional openings, and it is offered in a 689 aluminum finish. If the concern is the wall switch rather than the closer arm, Alarm Controls PD Series covers vandal resistant PD, PN, PS and PT push plates, and SDC 480 Series actuators are built with 18 gauge stainless steel construction.
