Norton Rixson 7706EP-RA Mounting-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the 7706EP door closer Grade 1 and fire rated?
Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, Grade 1, and UL/cUL listed for fire rated doors. It also complies with ADA and ANSI A117.1 opening force requirements. That's the combination a spec writer on a healthcare, school, or government job needs before it goes on the door schedule.
2) Which mounting do I order for the 7706EP, regular, top jamb, or parallel arm?
All three are orderable configurations on the 7706EP: regular arm, top jamb, and parallel arm. Pick by which side of the door you can mount on. Regular arm puts the closer body on the pull side of the door, top jamb puts it on the frame face on the push side, and parallel arm mounts the body on the push side of the door with the arm running along the frame. Parallel arm is the usual choice on out-swinging doors and corridors where you want the arm tucked up against the frame and out of reach.
3) Does the 7706EP door closer hold the door open, and does it have delayed action?
No on both. The 7706EP is a non-hold-open closer with no delay function. If the opening needs the door to stand open, or needs delayed action to give a wheelchair or a cart time through, this is the wrong closer for it. For hold open, the Accentra 51 Series is a tri-packed hold open arm closer with sizes 1-6; for delayed action, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 delayed action closer is a tri-packed option. Neither matches the 7706EP's 250 lb capacity, so on a genuinely heavy door confirm the closer's rating against the door before you swap.
4) I have a standard commercial door, do I really need the Size 6 extra power 7706 or is a lighter closer enough?
Only go extra power if the door justifies it. The 7706EP is built for doors up to 250 lbs, which means wide, heavy, or high-wind openings. On a normal interior commercial door a lighter closer is easier to pull and cheaper to spec: the BEST HD7000 Series is a medium duty Grade 1 closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck, the Falcon SC81A is a medium duty Grade 1 cast aluminum closer, and the Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 medium duty adjustable surface closer. Oversizing a closer on a light door just makes it hard for people to open.
5) What is the closest equivalent to a Norton Rixson 7706EP from another brand?
For a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with an adjustable spring across sizes 1-6, the BEST EHD9000 Series is the nearest cross-brand match, an extra heavy-duty surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1-6. Other heavy duty Grade 1 options are the Falcon SC71A, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, the Sargent 281 cast iron, and the Dorma 8916-JT with adjustable size 1-6. What none of those match is the 7706's pocket door arm configurations, so if the opening needs the double lever or slider pocket door arm, the 7706 is the one that covers it.
6) What should I use instead of the Norton Rixson 7706EP if the door needs a hold open arm?
The Norton Rixson 7706EP has no hold open feature. For an opening that has to stand open, the Accentra 51 Series is an industrial closer with a tri-packed hold open arm and adjustable spring size 1 to 6, and the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 in the hold open configuration is a tri-packed hold open arm closer for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Stanley Security A45-501HL is a long hold open arm standard closer for top jamb mounting. Note that fire rated openings generally cannot take a mechanical hold open, so confirm the door's rating before specifying one of these in place of the 7706EP.
7) What should I specify instead of the 7706EP when the opening needs a slide track or concealed-style arm rather than a projecting arm?
The Norton Rixson 7706EP is offered with double lever pocket door, slider arm pocket door and spring extra power arms in a surface closer with a 2-1/8 inch projection. Where a track arm is required on the pull side, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard for pull side mounting on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty jamb track closer for frame face pull side mounting with adjustable size 1 to 6 and a flat non-hold open arm. Track arms sit tighter to the door face than a projecting arm, which matters where the arm would be exposed to abuse or to a nearby wall return.
8) What are the arm options on the Norton Rixson 7706 Size 6 closer, and what is the pocket door arm for?
Three arm configurations: Size 6 spring with extra power (the standard arm), Size 6 double lever pocket door with extra power, and Size 6 slider arm pocket door with extra power. The two pocket door versions are for openings where the closer and arm have to sit in a recessed pocket or soffit condition rather than projecting off the face of the door. If the opening is a plain swinging door on a standard frame, the standard extra power arm is what you want.
9) How much does a 7706 surface closer stick out from the door?
Projection is 2-1/8 inches (54mm) off the mounting surface. That matters where the closer sits near a wall return, a corner, or a door that swings back tight against an adjacent surface, and it matters for clearance in a corridor where the body can't intrude past a certain point.
10) Can I adjust closing speed and backcheck separately on the Norton Rixson 7706?
Yes, three separate and independent valves as standard: latch speed, sweep speed, and backcheck intensity. Staked valve construction, so they stay where you set them. On a heavy door running at Size 6 spring power, backcheck is the one that saves the frame, it slows the door before it slams into a wall or an adjacent surface on a hard push, and it's adjustable independently of how fast the door sweeps closed.
11) Does the 7706 closer come with mounting hardware, or do I need to order screws and a template?
Self-drilling screws come with the closer, and the manufacturer supplies a full-size template for marking hole locations on the door and frame for whichever arm configuration you ordered. So the fastener and layout side of the install is covered in the box. What you do have to decide at order time is mounting (regular, top jamb, or parallel arm), arm type, and finish, since those are configured per unit rather than swapped in the field.
12) Can I dial the spring power down after the 7706 closer is installed?
Yes. The spring is adjustable size, covering 1 through 6, so the closing force gets set in the field rather than fixed at the factory. On an ADA opening you back the spring off to meet the maximum opening force allowed, then use the latch and sweep valves to still get positive latching. That's the usual field problem on heavy doors and the adjustable spring is what solves it.
13) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 7706EP and a medium duty Grade 1 closer like the Sargent 1131 or BEST HD7000?
The dividing line is duty rating. The Sargent 1131 is a Grade 1 adjustable surface closer rated medium duty for medium-traffic commercial applications, and the BEST HD7000 Series is a Grade 1 medium duty surface closer with adjustable spring power and backcheck control. The Norton Rixson 7706EP is Grade 1 as well but rated heavy duty, with Size 6 extra power spring for doors up to 250 lbs and separate latch, sweep and backcheck intensity valves. All three are Grade 1, so a medium duty peer can still satisfy a Grade 1 line on a spec; the door weight and cycle demand decide which side to land on.
14) Which closers can be mounted regular, top jamb or parallel arm like the Norton Rixson 7706EP?
The 7706EP is ordered in regular, top jamb or parallel arm mounting. Peers that cover all three from one package include the Dexter DCH1000 Series, a Grade 1 tri mount surface closer for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting with full cover, the Dexter DCH4000 Series and DCM1000 Series in the same tri mount Grade 1 form, and the Accentra 2701 Series architectural closer with tri-pack mounting options and adjustable spring sizes 1 to 6. The Design Hardware 116 Series and 416 Series are heavy duty closers supplied with a tri-packed non-hold open arm. Tri-pack peers ship the mounting hardware for all three in the box, while the 7706EP mounting is chosen when ordering.
15) Which items in the door closer range look like alternatives to the 7706EP but are not closers at all?
A few part numbers sit near surface closers in search results without being one. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer body. The Stanley Security 327 is a heavy wardrobe pivot for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors up to 150 lbs, and the Stanley Security 341 is a wardrobe pivot for flush recessed or overlay doors 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch; pivots hang and swing a door, they do not close it. Stanley Security 57-0100 is a box of 100 steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of these substitutes for the 7706EP, which is the hydraulic closer itself.
16) For an ADA barrier free opening, what are the alternatives to the Norton Rixson 7706EP?
The 7706EP is built to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and ANSI A117.1, but it is a Size 6 extra power closer intended for doors up to 250 lbs, and heavy spring power works against a low opening force. Where the opening is a lighter interior ADA door, the Cal-Royal 500S is a Grade 1 barrier free closer with adjustable back-check, the Cal-Royal N900PBF is a barrier free Grade 1 hydraulic closer, the Calibre CA9901 is a Grade 1 tri-pack arm size 2 to 5 ADA closer, and the Imperial USA TC4300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty size 1 to 6 ADA closer. The Calibre CA4001 is an adjustable spring tension ADA hydraulic closer in the same Grade 1 class.
17) What is the cast iron alternative to the cast aluminum Norton Rixson 7706EP?
The 7706EP body is cast aluminum with a rack-and-pinion design. If the specification calls for a cast iron body, the Sargent 281 Powerglide is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface closer with cast iron construction, and the LCN 1261 is a surface closer with adjustable spring sizes 1 to 5 and cast iron construction rated light to medium duty. Cast iron and cast aluminum bodies differ in mass and corrosion behavior rather than in grade, so check which the drawing names before swapping either way.
18) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 7706 Size 6 closer come in for matching existing hardware?
Nine finishes, so a property manager standardizing across a building has room to match: 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. 689 aluminum and 690 dark bronze are the two you see most often on commercial openings. The cover is plastic.
19) Will the 7706 closer let the door swing a full 180 degrees?
Installation allows for 180 degree door swing when the arm configuration is aligned correctly during mounting. Whether you actually get 180 degrees on your opening depends on what's next to the door, a wall return or adjacent hardware will stop the leaf before the closer does.
20) Which closers besides the Norton Rixson 7706EP come in a powder coat or suede finish for exterior or painted openings?
The Norton Rixson 7706EP is finished in options including 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 693 flat black, 694 medium bronze, and BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. Among peers, the LCN 1460T is supplied in a powder coat finish as a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial closer, and the Dormakaba 7303 and 7414 are offered in painted finish. If the closer has to match a painted frame rather than a plated architectural finish, those are the peers carrying a coated body.
21) The 7706EP comes with a plastic cover. Which comparable closers ship with a metal cover or no cover?
The Norton Rixson 7706EP has a plastic cover. Among peers, the Arrow DCN314 and DCN325 are Grade 1 surface closers supplied less cover with regular and parallel arm tri-pack hardware, so the body is exposed unless a cover is added. The Design Hardware 316 Series is a heavy duty closer supplied with a cover, and the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount closer with a full cover. Cover choice matters where the closer sits within reach in a corridor or a detention-adjacent space.
