Norton Rixson 7900RH-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 7900 concealed closer work on a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The 7900 Series overhead concealed closer is built for doors 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch thick, so 2 inches sits mid-range. It also carries doors up to 200 lbs, which is the other half of the sizing question on a thick door: a 2 inch wood or clad door in a wide leaf can run heavy, and once you pass 200 lbs this is the wrong closer.
2) Is the Norton Rixson 7900 closer handed, and how do I know which hand to order?
Handed, yes. The 7900 concealed closer is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, and it is a single acting closer, so the door swings one way only and the hand has to match the opening. Stand outside the door (the side it swings away from): hinges on your left is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. Order the wrong hand on a concealed closer and you find out after the header is already routed.
3) Do I need to order hold open separately on the Norton Rixson 7900, or is it built in?
It is a variant choice, not an add-on. The 7900 is ordered either Hold Open or Non-Hold Open, and that is fixed at the time you order, so decide it up front. Hold open is what you want on a receiving door or a corridor door that gets propped anyway; non-hold open is the choice on any opening where the door needs to close and latch every time.
4) Multi size 1-3 spring or size 4 spring on the Norton Rixson 7900 - which do I pick?
Two spring builds are offered. The multi size 1-3 lets you dial closing force in the field across three sizes, which is the one to take when the doors vary or you are not sure of the leaf width yet. The size 4 spring is fixed and delivers more force out of the box, for wide or heavy leaves and openings fighting stack pressure. Both are on a heavy duty, Grade 1 closer rated to 200 lbs, so the spring choice is about force, not capacity.
5) Is the Norton Rixson 7900 closer ADA compliant for a barrier-free opening?
No. The 7900 Series is not an ADA compliant closer, so it should not be specified where the opening has to meet accessible opening force requirements. It is a commercial, heavy duty, ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 concealed closer intended for controlled commercial openings rather than barrier-free entrances. If the drawing calls for accessible opening force at that door, take this one off the schedule and spec a closer that is listed as ADA compliant.
6) The opening is a double acting aluminum storefront door. Will a Norton Rixson 7900 work on it?
The Norton Rixson 7900 is a single acting overhead concealed closer, so it is not the part for a leaf that swings both ways. For a double acting aluminum door and frame, the Dorma RTS88 Series RTS01 overhead concealed closer is center hung side load, double or single acting, and non-handed. Because the RTS01 is non-handed, it also removes the handing decision the 7900 requires, where the closer is ordered left hand or right hand.
7) What is the closest heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed closer to the Norton Rixson 7900 if the opening needs a cast iron body?
The Sargent 268 overhead concealed door closer is the near equivalent there. Both are heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed closers, and the Sargent 268 carries a cast iron body. The Norton Rixson 7900 is rated for doors up to 200 lbs and mounts to center hung or offset hung openings, with adjustable spring sizes 1-3 or a fixed size 4. If the specification calls out a cast iron closer body specifically, the 268 answers it; if the priority is the multi-point hold open and the 1-3 spring range, stay with the 7900.
8) The door has to swing a full 180 degrees. Is the Norton Rixson 7900 the right concealed closer, or is there a better option?
For a 180 degree opening, look at the Sargent 269 overhead concealed door closer, which is built with 180 degree opening capability and is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer. The Norton Rixson 7900 is a heavy duty Grade 1 concealed closer with fully adjustable multi-point hold open, single acting, for doors up to 200 lbs. Where the wall or adjacent construction lets the leaf swing back a full half turn, the 269 is the closer written for that swing; where the door stops short and the value is in setting hold open at more than one point, the 7900 fits.
9) What else could I buy instead of the Norton Rixson 7900 overhead concealed closer?
Staying at the same tier, Sargent's concealed closers are the closest peers: the 268 with a cast iron body and the 278 with an exposed arm are both heavy duty Grade 1, as is the 269, which is listed with 180 degree opening capability if the door has to swing all the way back to a wall. Dormakaba's ITS9613 concealed closer is another Grade 1 option. Where you only need the closer body to drop into an existing prep, CRL Jackson sells body-only concealed closers in regular duty, heavy duty, and adjustable spring power, in 90 and 105 degree non-hold-open versions.
10) I just need the closer body to replace a failed unit in an existing head prep - is the Norton Rixson 7900 the right buy?
For a straight body swap into a prep you already have, the CRL Jackson overhead concealed closers sold as body only are the ones aimed at that job, offered in regular duty, heavy duty, and an adjustable spring power version, in 90 degree and 105 degree non-hold-open configurations. The Norton Rixson 7900 is a full architectural concealed closer package with a dress cover plate, handed left or right, and it is specified against a fresh frame prep rather than assumed to drop into someone else's cutout.
11) Does the Norton Rixson 7900 have delayed action for a door people need extra time to get through?
Delay is included. The 7900 concealed closer has a delayed action function alongside the usual sweep, latch, and backcheck adjustments, which is what you want at a door where carts, gurneys, or hands-full traffic pass through and the leaf shouldn't start closing immediately. Worth noting the closer itself is not ADA compliant, so delay here is a convenience setting, not a way to meet an accessible opening requirement.
12) Is the Norton Rixson 7900 heavy duty enough for a main building entrance?
Depends on the door count going through it. The 7900 is a heavy duty, ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 commercial closer, but it is rated for moderate traffic, so it suits office suite doors, executive and administrative entries, and interior openings in hotels, healthcare, and government buildings. A main street entrance running constant public traffic is asking for more cycles than a moderate traffic rating covers.
13) What is a simpler overhead concealed closer than the Norton Rixson 7900 for a door that never needs to hold open?
The CRL Jackson regular duty overhead concealed door closer body, part 20-101M-03, is a non hold open closer set for a 90 degree swing, and part 20-101M-01 is the same regular duty non hold open body at 105 degrees. Both are supplied as a closer body only. The Norton Rixson 7900 is a heavy duty Grade 1 closer for doors up to 200 lbs, and it can be ordered non-hold open as well as hold open, so a fixed non hold open opening does not force a brand change. The distinction to settle first is duty and completeness: the CRL Jackson bodies are regular duty and body only, while the 7900 is heavy duty and includes a dress cover plate.
14) Is the Sargent 278 concealed closer a drop-in alternative to the Norton Rixson 7900?
Not on appearance. The Sargent 278 is a heavy duty Grade 1 overhead concealed closer with an exposed arm, so the arm shows on the opening. The Norton Rixson 7900 is fully concealed with a dress cover plate, which is the point of specifying it on architectural openings where no hardware is meant to be visible. On duty and grade the two line up, both heavy duty and Grade 1; the difference a buyer has to accept or reject is the visible arm.
15) Which overhead concealed closers besides the Norton Rixson 7900 carry a Grade 1 rating for a facility standard?
Within the concealed closers ZenSupply carries, the Grade 1 options are the Norton Rixson 7900, the Dormakaba ITS9613 of the ITS96 Series, and the Sargent 268, 269 and 278. The Sargent three are also rated heavy duty. The 7900 is heavy duty, Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, and rated for doors to 200 lbs. For an MRO or institutional buyer writing one closer into a facility standard, that Grade 1 group is the shortlist; the choice then comes down to swing, mounting and hold open behavior rather than grade.
16) I need adjustable spring power in a concealed closer. What are my choices?
The CRL Jackson adjustable spring power overhead concealed door closer body, part 20-101M-17, is a non hold open body at 105 degrees with adjustable spring power. The Norton Rixson 7900 takes a different approach: spring power is set by ordering either the multi size 1-3 spring or the fixed size 4 spring, and the 7900 is heavy duty and Grade 1 for doors to 200 lbs. If the door width is settled and the required force is known, the fixed size 4 removes a field adjustment; if the closer is going onto an opening whose force needs tuning after hanging, the 1-3 spring or the CRL adjustable body both give that range.
17) Can I get the Norton Rixson 7900 cover plate to match the storefront finish?
Eight finishes are offered on the 7900: 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 flat black, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. The closer is concealed, so the only part anyone sees is the dress cover plate, and 689 or 690 are the two that typically line up with standard clear and dark bronze aluminum storefront. For a fleet of doors, pick one finish and hold it across every opening.
18) How does the CRL Jackson heavy duty concealed closer body compare with the Norton Rixson 7900?
The CRL Jackson 20-101M-09 is a heavy duty overhead concealed door closer body, non hold open, at a 105 degree swing, supplied in brown as a body only. The Norton Rixson 7900 is heavy duty as well and carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, ships with a dress cover plate, and is ordered by handing, hold open or non-hold open, and spring size. Finish is the other split: the 7900 comes in eight finishes including 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 693 flat black and 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, which matters when the closer has to match the rest of the hardware on a visible head frame.
19) Is the Dormakaba ITS9613 an equivalent to the Norton Rixson 7900 concealed closer?
They sit in the same class. The Dormakaba ITS9613 is a Grade 1 concealed overhead door closer in the ITS96 Series, and the Norton Rixson 7900 is Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, heavy duty, single acting, rated to 200 lbs. Where they part company is the mounting the 7900 is written for, center hung and offset hung, and the fully adjustable multi-point hold open. Confirm the head frame prep and the swing arrangement on the opening before treating either as a straight swap for the other.
