Norton Rixson EH2890N-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How big a door will the Norton Rixson EH28 floor closer handle?
The EH28 is rated for doors up to 500 lbs and a maximum width of 48 inches, with door sizes up to 4'0" x 8'6" (1219 x 2591mm). That covers most heavy entrance leaves, including tall glass and aluminum storefront doors. If your leaf is wider than 48 inches or heavier than 500 lbs, this is not the right closer for it.
2) How does power get from the frame to an electrified lock on the door with the EH28?
Power runs through the closer spindle itself, so there is no exposed loop or door cord at the hinge edge. It is low voltage, class II wiring only, and the spindle accepts 2-wire 18 gauge only. That constrains what you can feed: an electric strike, a maglock, or a latch retraction device needing more than two 18 gauge conductors will not route through this closer.
3) Is the Norton Rixson EH28 single acting or double acting?
Single acting, so the door swings one way only. That also means handing matters at the order stage: the EH28 is built left hand or right hand and cannot be flipped in the field. Determine the swing from the outside of the door before you specify.
4) Can I set the EH28 to stop the door at 90 degrees so it doesn't hit an adjacent wall?
Yes. A built-in positive dead stop holds the door from swinging past the set point, and the stop degree is chosen when you order: 85, 90, 95 or 105 degrees. It is a factory-set option, not a field adjustment, so pick the degree based on what is beside the opening.
5) What is included with the EH28 and what do I still need to buy?
The H340 top pivot comes with the closer, and the unit can be set with a floor plate or into a threshold. You still need a frame stop at the header lock side, floor pocket prep with conduit routed for the low voltage run, and the bottom arm or door rail hardware suited to your door type.
6) Will the EH28 work on a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
No. The EH28 requires a 2 inch minimum door thickness. Standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors are below that, so you need a closer rated for the thinner leaf.
7) Can an LCN 4040SEH-3038 hold open track be used instead of a Norton Rixson EH28 floor closer to get hold open on a heavy entrance door?
No, they are not interchangeable. The LCN 4040SEH-3038 is a hold open track that mounts on the door or frame face as part of a 4000 Series surface closer assembly. The Norton Rixson EH28 is a single acting closer that sits concealed in a cast iron cement case in the floor and carries doors up to 500 lbs and 48 inches wide. If you want hold open from the EH28 itself, order it with the Selective Hold Open arm function rather than the Non-Hold Open version; the surface track is only relevant if the opening is being run with a surface mounted closer above the door.
8) Is the Dorma 15323 offset bottom arm a substitute for a Rixson EH28 on an offset hung door?
No. The Dorma 15323 is a 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, a standard duty part that is not fire rated, and it is the linkage between a door and a closer, not the closer. The Norton Rixson EH28 is an offset hung, heavy duty, ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 floor closer with its own independent closing speed, latch speed and backcheck valves. If your opening is already running an EH28 and you only need the bottom arm hardware replaced, that is a parts question; if you are specifying the door control itself for a high traffic commercial entrance, the EH28 is the unit.
9) Does the EH28 floor closer hold the door open?
Two arm functions are offered: non-hold open, and selective hold open. Standard configuration has no hold open feature, so if you want the door to stay parked, you have to specify the selective hold open arm on the order.
10) Is there an ADA option for reduced opening force on the EH28?
There is a lighter spring option offered as a yes/no choice at order time. Specify it where the opening has to meet a reduced opening force requirement, such as an interior accessible route. Otherwise the standard spring ships.
11) Is the EH28 rated for a high-traffic entrance in a school or hospital?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, classed heavy duty and high traffic, and built with a cast iron cement case and a hardened one-piece steel spindle. Being concealed in the floor also removes the exposed closer body that gets abused on institutional openings.
12) I need a hold open arm or a bracket kit for a surface door closer, not a floor closer. What should I look at instead?
The EH28 is an in-floor unit and none of its parts retrofit a surface closer. For surface closer accessories, look at the LCN 4040SEH-3038 hold open track, the LCN 4040SE-3038 standard track, the LCN 1260-18QF quick fix bracket kit, the LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support for 3-1/16 inch reveals, the Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm for DC10 closers, or the Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm for DC40 closers.
13) I need an offset bottom arm for a floor-closer door. Is that part of the EH28?
No, the EH28 is the closer body and its top pivot, not a bottom arm assembly. If you are replacing just the bottom arm on an existing offset-hung installation, the Dormakaba Dorma 15323 is a 1-1/2 inch offset bottom arm with cover, rated standard duty and not fire rated.
14) We need a non-hold-open closer arm on an aluminum storefront - is the Deltana DCCA4041 cushion arm an alternative to the EH28?
They solve different problems. The Deltana DCCA4041 is a cushion arm component for the DC40 surface door closer, so it only applies if a DC40 is already hung on the opening. The Norton Rixson EH28 is a floor mounted unit with a built in positive dead stop set at 85, 90, 95 or 105 degrees, which is how it limits the swing rather than by a cushion arm at the head. Choose the EH28 when the control needs to be concealed in the floor and the door is up to 500 lbs; choose a surface closer and its arm when the head detail can carry hardware.
15) What should I look at instead of the EH28 if the header can take a surface closer and I do not need power transfer through the floor?
The EH28's distinguishing feature is power transfer through the closer spindle on low voltage class II wiring, which is what you use when electrified hardware in the leaf has to be fed without a door loop or an electric hinge. If the opening does not have that requirement and the header is available, the job becomes a surface closer plus its mounting hardware - for example the LCN 1260-18QF quick fix bracket kit for 1000 Series closers, or the LCN 1260-30 cush shoe support rated for a 3-1/16 inch reveal. Those are parts for a head mounted assembly and will not carry a 500 lb leaf on their own, so confirm the closer body being paired with them suits the door size.
16) Will a Cal-Royal 900 Series accessories kit work with a Norton Rixson EH28?
They are not matched hardware. The Cal-Royal 900-ACC kit is an accessories set for Cal-Royal 900 Series door closers, so its brackets and arm parts are cut for that closer family. The EH28 is a center hung floor closer supplied with the H340 top pivot and offered with floor plate or threshold installation for doors 2 inches thick and up, and its options are ordered on the unit itself - sealed closer, 587 arm, and extended spindle in 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 or 2 inch. Specify those at order time rather than sourcing a generic accessory kit.
17) For a door that needs ADA compliant opening force, does the EH28 have a lighter spring option or do I need a different closer?
You do not need to change models. The Norton Rixson EH28 can be ordered with a lighter spring for ADA opening force, and it keeps the same Grade 1 A156.4 certification and 500 lb capacity in that configuration, with separate closing speed, latch speed and backcheck valves for fine tuning the operation. Among surface closer parts such as the Deltana DCHA1050 hold open arm for the DC10 closer, the arm is chosen for hold open behavior rather than spring power, so an arm swap is not the path to a lighter force on a floor closer opening.
18) How much control do I have over closing speed with a floor closer like the EH28?
Separate independent valves handle closing speed, latch speed and backcheck, so you can slow the sweep without losing latching force, and backcheck protects the door and frame when someone throws it open. A delay function is included as well.
19) What finishes can I get on the EH28 to match the rest of my door hardware?
Thirteen finishes are offered on the exposed parts: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 black painted, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, plus black suede powder and white suede powder. For a building standardizing across openings, 626 satin chrome and 613 oil rubbed bronze are the usual matches to existing lever and pull hardware.
