Norton Rixson 93N-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 93 Series closer handle a 4 foot wide by 8 foot tall exterior door?
Yes. The 93 Series overhead concealed closer is rated to a maximum exterior door size of 4' x 8', and 4'6" x 8' on interior openings, with a door weight limit of 250 lbs. If the leaf is heavier than 250 lbs or wider than those limits, this is the wrong closer for the opening.
2) Is the Norton Rixson 93 closer center hung or offset pivot?
Center hung. The 93 Series is a single acting, center-hung overhead concealed closer, and it ships with a 270 degree pivot set. That means the door pivots on its centerline, not on an offset pivot at the hinge edge, so the door prep and floor pivot point have to match a center-hung layout. An offset-pivot opening needs a different closer.
3) Does the Norton Rixson 93 closer work in a wood frame, or only aluminum and hollow metal?
All three. The 93 Series is built for aluminum, hollow metal, or wood frames, and there are dedicated Wood Frame and ADA and Wood Frame ordering options you select for a wood header. Pick the plain Standard or ADA Compliant option for aluminum and hollow metal.
4) Does the Norton Rixson 93 Series meet ADA opening force requirements?
There's an ADA Compliant version, and an ADA and Wood Frame version for wood headers. The closer uses an adjustable spring size, so opening force is tuned on site: spring settings 3 to 6 for larger doors, 1 to 3 when you need a lighter opening force to hold an ADA push force. Order the ADA rating option if the opening has to meet accessibility requirements.
5) Is the Norton Rixson 93 a handed closer, and does it matter which hand I order?
Handing matters. It's single acting and offered left hand or right hand, so the wrong hand will not work on the opening and is not a field-reversible setting. Stand outside the door on the side it swings away from: hinge or pivot on your left is left hand.
6) What overhead concealed closer works on a door that has to be double acting?
The Dorma RTS88 Series RTS01 is a center hung side load overhead concealed closer offered double or single acting and non-handed for aluminum doors and frames. The Norton Rixson 93 Series is single acting and is ordered by handing, left hand or right hand, so a door that swings both directions calls for the RTS01 rather than the 93 Series.
7) Which overhead concealed closer should be used on an opening that needs to swing 180 degrees?
The Sargent 269 overhead concealed door closer is built with 180 degree opening capability. The Norton Rixson 93 Series is a single acting center hung closer supplied with a 270 degree pivot set, so on an opening where the stated 180 degree swing is the controlling requirement on the drawing, specify the Sargent 269 and confirm the frame and hung condition against it.
8) Which concealed closers besides the Norton Rixson 93 Series carry a Grade 1 rating for a spec that requires it?
Four overhead concealed closers meet a Grade 1 call: the Norton Rixson 93 Series, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, the Dormakaba ITS9613 from the ITS96 Series, and the Sargent 268 and Sargent 269, both heavy duty Grade 1. For a facility standardizing on a single Grade 1 concealed closer, all four satisfy the grade line, and the choice then comes down to hung condition, swing, and frame type at each opening.
9) Do I need a different concealed closer if my doors are wood frame rather than aluminum?
Not necessarily. The Norton Rixson 93 Series is built for aluminum, hollow metal, or wood frames and is ordered with a rating option that includes Wood Frame and ADA and Wood Frame configurations. By contrast, the Dorma RTS88 Series RTS01 is specified for aluminum door and frame. On a wood frame opening, order the 93 Series in the wood frame rating option rather than crossing to the RTS01.
10) Can I get a hold-open on a Norton Rixson 93 concealed closer?
Yes, through the arm function you choose at order time: hold open or non-hold open. The base 93 configuration is non-hold-open, so if you want the door to stand open you have to specify the hold open arm on the order rather than adding it later.
11) Will an overhead concealed closer hold up on a school or hospital entrance that gets constant use?
The 93 Series is built for it: cast iron closer body, forged arms, steel alloy track, rated heavy duty and high traffic, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1. Grade 1 is the top commercial durability tier under that standard, which is what most institutional specs call for.
12) Can I use this concealed closer on an exterior door in a cold climate?
Yes. The 93 Series uses all-weather fluid rated from -40F to 150F, so the closing speed won't stiffen up in winter or run away in summer heat. That's what makes it usable on exterior openings rather than interior only.
13) What speed adjustments does the Norton Rixson 93 closer have?
Separate and independent closing speed and latch speed valves, plus a hydraulic backcheck valve, working off a 1-1/4 inch piston. The independent latch speed is what lets you slow the main sweep for accessibility while still driving the door into the latch, and backcheck is what protects the door and frame when someone throws it open in wind.
14) How is the Norton Rixson 93 different from a CRL Jackson concealed closer body?
Two different purchases. The CRL Jackson concealed units, like the 20-101M-09 heavy duty and the 20-101M-17 adjustable spring power, are sold as closer body only, so pivots and trim come separately and the swing is fixed by model at 90 or 105 degrees. The Norton Rixson 93 arrives as a package with the 270 degree pivot set and dress cover plate, and it carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 rating. If you're replacing just a dead body in an existing CRL prep, the body-only part is the match; for a full new install, the 93 is the complete set.
15) What is the difference between the Sargent 278 and the Norton Rixson 93 Series concealed closer?
The Sargent 278 is a heavy duty, Grade 1 overhead concealed closer with an exposed arm, so the arm remains visible below the header. The Norton Rixson 93 Series is a center hung closer supplied with a dress cover plate for a concealed finished appearance. Where the architect has called for nothing visible at the head, the 93 Series matches that intent; where an exposed arm is acceptable or required by the door prep, the 278 is the peer to look at.
16) Is there a lighter duty concealed closer than the Norton Rixson 93 Series for an interior door that does not see heavy traffic?
The CRL Jackson 20-101M-01 and 20-101M-03 are regular duty overhead concealed closer bodies, offered in 105 degree and 90 degree non hold open versions. The Norton Rixson 93 Series is a heavy duty, high traffic closer rated for doors up to 250 lbs, which is more machine than a light interior leaf needs. Both CRL Jackson regular duty units are supplied as a body only, so plan the pivots and cover separately.
17) Which concealed closer do I order if the door has to stand open on its own?
The Norton Rixson 93 Series is ordered with an arm function of either Hold Open or Non-Hold Open, so the hold open version comes from the same series and finish range as the standard unit. Among the alternatives, the CRL Jackson 20-101M bodies are non hold open closers, including the adjustable spring power 20-101M-17 at 105 degrees, so those do not answer a hold open requirement.
18) If I want adjustable spring power in a concealed closer, what are my options?
The Norton Rixson 93 Series uses an adjustable size spring, set 3 to 6 for larger doors and 1 to 3 for lighter opening force, alongside independent closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck valves. The CRL Jackson 20-101M-17 is also an adjustable spring power overhead concealed closer, offered as a body only in a 105 degree non hold open configuration.
19) I need to match the concealed closers on the rest of my building. What finishes does the Norton Rixson 93 come in?
Fifteen, covering the standard BHMA range plus painted and powder options: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 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 finish shows on the dress cover plate, so match it to the other headers rather than to the door hardware if they differ.
