Norton Rixson 7900RH-689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Norton Rixson 7900 series overhead concealed closer used for?
The Norton Rixson 7900 series is an architectural-grade overhead concealed door closer designed for commercial applications where aesthetics matter. It mounts in the door header and frame, providing controlled door closing while remaining completely hidden from view.
2) What door sizes and weights does the 7900 series handle?
The 7900 series typically handles doors up to 4 feet wide and various weight capacities depending on the specific model. Always verify the exact door dimensions and weight against the manufacturer's specifications before ordering.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for this concealed closer?
Handing is determined by standing on the pull side of the door. If hinges are on the right, order right-hand. If hinges are on the left, order left-hand. The 7900 series requires specific handing due to its concealed mounting configuration.
4) What finishes are available for the 7900 series?
Norton Rixson typically offers standard finishes like aluminum, dark bronze, and black for the 7900 series. Since the closer is concealed, finish primarily affects the arm and any visible components. Check specific model availability for finish options.
5) What power size do I need for my application?
Power size depends on door width, weight, and environmental factors like wind pressure. The 7900 series offers multiple power ratings. Consider consulting the manufacturer's selection guide or a door hardware specialist for proper sizing.
6) Does this closer meet accessibility and building code requirements?
The 7900 series can be adjusted to meet ADA opening force requirements when properly sized and installed. Verify local building code compliance and accessibility standards with your local authority having jurisdiction.
7) What accessories are available for the 7900 series?
Common accessories include hold-open arms, delayed action packages, and special mounting brackets. Browse our door closer accessories section or contact us for specific 7900 series compatibility.
8) What are the basic installation requirements for concealed overhead closers?
Installation requires precise mortising of both the door header and frame. A manufacturer template is essential for proper alignment. The closer body mounts in the frame head while the arm mechanism mounts in the door top rail.
9) How do I adjust the closing speed and latching on the 7900 series?
The 7900 series features adjustable closing speed and latching action through precision valves accessible when the closer is installed. Adjustments should be made by qualified door hardware technicians using the proper tools and procedures.
10) Are there similar Norton Rixson models I should consider?
Norton Rixson offers other concealed closer series for different applications. Compare specifications and mounting requirements across the Norton Rixson product line to ensure you select the right closer for your project needs.
11) What field conditions affect concealed closer performance?
Wind pressure, temperature extremes, and high traffic volume can affect closer performance. The concealed design protects internal components, but proper power sizing and regular maintenance ensure reliable operation in challenging conditions.
12) What measurements do I need before ordering the 7900 series?
You need door width, height, thickness, weight, and frame head depth. Also measure the top rail depth and verify sufficient space for the closer body and arm mechanism. Review the installation template to confirm adequate mounting space.
