Norton Rixson 8301-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door sizes and weights does the Norton Rixson 8301 series accommodate?
The 8301 series is designed for standard commercial doors. Verify your specific door width and weight against the manufacturer's template. Most models handle doors up to 48 inches wide. Check the closer's spring power rating for proper door weight capacity.
2) How does the slim line cover benefit installation?
The slim profile reduces visual bulk while maintaining full closer function. The cast aluminum cover provides durability and weather resistance. Multi-sized design accommodates various door configurations with fewer SKUs needed in inventory.
3) Is this closer handed or universal?
Most Norton Rixson surface closers are universal and can be installed on either left or right hand doors. Verify handing requirements in the installation template. The multi-sized design typically supports both swing directions.
4) What finishes are available for the 8301 series?
Cast aluminum construction typically comes in standard architectural finishes. Common options include aluminum, dark bronze, and painted finishes. Verify available finishes with your specific model number as options may vary by closer size.
5) What spring power ratings are offered?
Norton Rixson typically offers multiple spring powers within a series. Common ratings include Size 1 through Size 6 depending on door weight requirements. Match the spring power to your door weight and width for proper operation.
6) Does this closer meet ADA accessibility requirements?
Surface mounted closers can meet ADA requirements when properly adjusted. Opening force must not exceed 5 pounds for interior doors. The closer should provide smooth, controlled closing without excessive resistance. Verify compliance with local accessibility codes.
7) What mounting hardware is included?
Standard packages typically include mounting screws and installation template. Verify included hardware matches your door and frame materials. Heavy doors may require additional reinforcement or longer screws not included with the closer.
8) How do I install this surface mount closer?
Mount the closer body to the door using the manufacturer's template. Attach the arm to the door frame. Follow template dimensions exactly for proper geometry. Ensure adequate clearance for the slim cover. Test operation before final adjustments.
9) How do I adjust closing and latching speed?
Most Norton closers have separate adjustment valves for sweep speed and latch speed. Turn valves clockwise to slow, counterclockwise to speed up. Make small quarter-turn adjustments and test. Some models include backcheck adjustment for opening control.
10) What other Norton Rixson closer series are available?
Norton Rixson offers multiple closer series for different applications. Consider the 1600 series for heavy duty use or 27 series for standard duty. Browse our door closers section for compatible models and accessories.
11) Can this closer handle outdoor weather exposure?
Cast aluminum construction provides good weather resistance for exterior applications. The slim cover protects internal mechanisms from moisture and debris. Verify the specific model's temperature rating for your climate conditions and consider regular maintenance scheduling.
12) What are the key measurements I need before ordering?
Measure door width, height, and weight. Note door thickness and frame depth. Verify swing direction and any overhead clearance restrictions. Check if the door has glass or hollow core construction as this affects closer sizing requirements.
