Norton Rixson DA-PH27N-LAP-RH-105 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Norton Rixson PH27 floor closer need to be ordered left hand or right hand?
Handing matters on the PH27. It is a single acting closer, so the door swings one direction only, and the closer is built either left hand or right hand. Both hands are offered at a 105 degree swing. Stand on the outside of the opening (the side the door swings away from) and note which side the hinges or pivots sit on: hinges on the left is left hand. Ordering the wrong hand means the closer will not work on the opening.
2) Will the PH27 floor closer hold a door open for deliveries or moving carts?
No. The PH27 is a non hold open closer, so the door returns to closed every cycle. If a property manager needs a door that stays open on demand, this is the wrong unit and you would need a hold open floor closer or a separate hold open device. The upside of non hold open is that the door is always latched, which is what most fire and security-conscious openings want.
3) Is the Norton Rixson PH27 floor closer ADA compliant for reduced opening force?
The PH27 is the physically handicapped version of the Rixson floor closer line, built around the reduced opening force needed for accessible openings, and it carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 rating. Compliance on the finished opening still comes down to field adjustment: after the case is set and the door hung, the closing force and speed have to be dialed in so the door meets the accessible opening force while still closing and latching.
4) What does the cast iron cement case on the PH27 floor closer mean for the floor prep?
The cement case is the cast iron box that gets set into the floor slab before the closer body drops in, so this is not a surface mount job. The slab has to be cut or blocked out for the case, the case set level and aligned to the door pivot line, and the pour sealed so moisture does not get into the closer. Plan the case into the floor work before finish flooring goes down. Retrofitting into an existing finished slab means breaking concrete.
5) Is a floor closer like the PH27 the right choice, or should I use an overhead closer?
A floor closer earns its place when you do not want hardware showing on the door or frame: all-glass entrances, narrow top rails with no room for an overhead closer, aluminum storefront on center pivots, and high traffic entries where an exposed arm gets abused. The PH27 is concealed in the floor in a cast iron cement case, which also makes it tamper resistant. An overhead closer is the cheaper, easier call on an ordinary hollow metal or wood door with a normal frame head, because nobody has to open the slab.
6) What does Grade 1 mean on a floor closer, and is the PH27 heavy enough for a main entrance?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.4 is the top of the three closer grades, the heavy duty tier, and it is what institutional specs normally call for on an entrance. The PH27 is rated Grade 1, heavy duty, and commercial, which puts it in range for a main entry in a hospital, school, government building or retail entrance where the door is cycled all day.
7) What are the alternatives to the Rixson PH27 floor closer from other brands?
Two Dormakaba options sit in the same class. The Dorma BTS75V is a Grade 1 floor closer body supplied with a cement case and non hold open function, so it is the closest match in concept to the PH27, though it ships less spindle. The Dorma BTS80 is a heavy duty concealed floor closer body only, no case, which suits a job where the existing cement case in the floor stays and only the closer body is being replaced. What the Rixson brings that neither of those lists is the specific physically handicapped, reduced opening force build.
8) Is a Dorma BTS80 an acceptable substitute for a PH27 on an ADA opening?
Treat them as different specs. The PH27 is engineered for physically handicapped accessibility with reduced opening force and carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 rating. The BTS80 is a heavy duty concealed floor closer body, and it is a non fire rated unit. Duty level alone does not make a closer accessibility compliant, so on an opening where the drawing calls for reduced opening force, the PH27 is the unit written to that requirement.
9) Is the Rixson PH27 floor closer fire rated?
Where a fire rated opening is involved, the closer alone does not carry the assembly: the door, frame, and hardware are rated as a set. What the PH27 does bring to a labeled opening is that it is non hold open, so the door self closes and latches every cycle rather than standing open. Verify the closer against the door manufacturer's listing for the specific assembly.
