Norton Rixson 8501HDA-689-SNB134-38 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How heavy a door will the Norton Rixson 8000 Series surface closer handle?
Up to 250 lbs. Spring power is adjustable across sizes 1 through 6, so one closer covers everything from a light interior door up to a heavy exterior door at the top of that range. Set the size to suit the door width and weight, then fine tune closing and latching speed on the valves.
2) Is the Norton Rixson 8000 Series closer rated for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is. The 8000 Series carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 certification, is classified heavy duty, and is rated for high traffic commercial use. That is the level facility and MRO buyers usually specify for school corridors, hospital doors, and office entrances. It is a commercial product, not a residential one.
3) What does delayed action do on a door closer, and when should I specify it?
Delayed action holds the door near its open position for a set interval before the normal closing cycle begins. On the Norton Rixson 8000 Series that timing is adjustable. Specify it where people need extra seconds to get through an opening: wheelchair and walker traffic, carts and gurneys, stockroom and loading doors. It is not the same as a hold open, which parks the door until someone pushes it shut.
4) What is the closest match if I need delayed action specifically?
The Norton Rixson 8000 Series includes delayed action, holding the door open a set interval before it closes. 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 BHDC2011DA/PA is a delayed action closer in the same regular-arm-with-parallel-bracket configuration. Both are furnished with a tri-packed non-hold open arm rather than the hold open arm on the 8000 Series.
5) What should I use instead if the opening must not hold open, such as a fire rated door?
The Norton Rixson 8000 Series is supplied with a hold open arm, which is not appropriate on an opening required to self-close. For a non-hold-open arm in the same surface mounted class, the Design Hardware 116 Series is a heavy duty closer with a tri-packed non-hold open arm, the Accentra 2701 Series offers a tri-packed non-hold open arm in adjustable sizes 1-6, and the Dorma 8916-JT is a Grade 1 heavy duty closer with a flat non-hold open arm in sizes 1-6.
6) What is the difference between a sized closer and an adjustable size 1-6 closer for a building with lots of different doors?
A fixed size closer has to be ordered per door width. The 8000 Series uses adjustable spring power across sizes 1 through 6, so a property manager or maintenance shop can stock one model and dial it in at each opening. That is the practical reason to standardize on an adjustable unit across a portfolio instead of keeping several sizes on the shelf.
7) What other heavy duty Grade 1 surface closers could I use instead of the Norton Rixson 8000 Series?
Close equivalents on the heavy duty Grade 1 side include the BEST EHD9000 Series and BEST HD8000 Series, the Falcon SC71A Series, the Sargent 1431 Powerglide, and the Dormakaba 8616 with flat arm. The Sargent 281 is a cast iron heavy duty option if you want a metal body. All of those are listed heavy duty, Grade 1 surface mounted closers like the 8000 Series.
8) I need delayed action but not this heavy a closer. What else is there?
If the opening is a lighter interior door, the Orca Hardware BHDC1958 delayed action closer with regular arm and parallel bracket is a delayed action unit listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, as is the Orca BHDC2011 delayed action version. Step down from the 8000 Series only if the door is well under its 250 lb capacity, since a lighter closer will not control a heavy exterior leaf.
9) Is a Grade 2 closer good enough, or do I need Grade 1 like the Norton Rixson 8000 Series?
Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA A156.4 durability grade and is what most commercial and institutional specs require on high traffic openings. The 8000 Series meets it. A Grade 2 unit such as the Cal-Royal 400 Series is a lower cycle rating and generally belongs on lower use interior doors, not a main entrance or a corridor door people hit all day.
10) Will a slide track closer work in place of the Norton Rixson 8000 Series arm closer?
The Norton Rixson 8000 Series uses a projecting hold open arm, so it is not a drop-in for a track application. Where a track is specified, the Corbin Russwin DC5230 Series is a Grade 1 surface closer with a slide track arm standard in pull side mounting for 1-3/4 inch doors. Slide track and standard arm closers use different frame and door preparation, so the change has to be made at the template stage rather than at the box.
11) What looks like a substitute for a surface door closer but is not?
Several items sit near surface closers in a door control order without replacing one. The Arrow DCN500DP is a parallel drop plate for the DCN500, a mounting accessory rather than a closer body. The Stanley Security 327 and 341 are wardrobe pivots for hanging doors, not hydraulic closing devices, and the Stanley 57-0100 is a box of steel machine screws for architectural hinges. None of these will control an opening in place of the Norton Rixson 8000 Series.
12) I need a tri-mount closer that can go regular, parallel, or top jamb - does the Norton Rixson 8000 Series compare to those?
The Norton Rixson 8000 Series is a surface mounted closer furnished with a hold open arm. If the job needs one part number that covers regular, parallel, and top jamb mounting, the Dexter DCH1000 Series is a Grade 1 tri mount surface closer with a full cover, the Dexter DCH4000 Series is the same tri mount arrangement, and the Arrow DCN325 is a Grade 1 tri-pack regular/parallel arm closer in adjustable spring size 1-6 supplied less cover.
13) What are the other heavy duty adjustable size 1-6 options if I am standardizing a facility on one closer?
The Norton Rixson 8000 Series is adjustable across sizes 1 through 6 at heavy duty and Grade 1, which lets one part number cover a range of door weights and widths. Comparable single-SKU standardization choices include the BEST EHD9000 Series in adjustable sizes 1-6, the BEST HD8000 Series heavy duty Grade 1, the Imperial USA TC4300 Series Grade 1 heavy duty size 1-6 ADA closer, and the LCN 1460T heavy duty Grade 1 commercial closer.
14) How does the Norton Rixson 8000 Series differ from the Corbin Russwin DC8200?
Both are Grade 1 surface mounted closers for commercial openings. The Norton Rixson 8000 Series is supplied with delayed action and a hold open arm and adjusts across sizes 1 through 6 for doors up to 250 lbs. The Corbin Russwin DC8200 Series is configured with a double lever regular arm in pull side mounting and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference that decides the order is the arm: hold open versus a standard double lever regular arm.
15) Will the Norton Rixson 8000 Series hold up on an exterior door exposed to weather?
It is built for it. The 8000 Series uses high strength, corrosion resistant materials and is rated heavy duty for high traffic, which is the combination you want on an exterior entrance that sees weather and constant use. Keep the closer under a cover and adjust the backcheck side so wind cannot slam the door past its stop.
