Norton Rixson F327N-RH626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson F327 floor closer handle a 250 lb exterior door?
Yes, up to 250 lbs is exactly what the F327 is rated for, and it works on interior or exterior openings. It's a heavy duty, single acting closer certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, with a Cycolac rust-proof cement case that's the reason it holds up in an exterior floor pocket where water finds its way in. Door width tops out at 4 ft 0 in (1219mm) and maximum swing is 90 degrees.
2) Can a floor closer be used on a double acting door that swings both ways?
Not this one. The F327 is single acting, so it controls a door swinging one direction only, to a 90 degree maximum. For a door that swings in and out, you need a double acting floor closer instead. Check the swing direction on the drawing before you pour the case, because the pocket work is not something you redo cheaply.
3) Do I have to specify hand when ordering a Norton Rixson F327 floor closer?
Yes. The F327 is built left hand or right hand, and it is not field reversible between the two, so hand is an order decision. Determine it from outside the door, standing on the side the closer is set for. Get it wrong and the closer body has to go back before the floor gets closed up.
4) What hinges or pivots do I use with an independently hung floor closer like the F327?
Independently hung means the closer does not carry the weight of the door, so the door hangs on its own hardware: butt hinges, pocket pivots, or continuous hinges all work with the F327. That's the practical difference from a center hung or offset pivot floor closer that also bears the load. It does mean you should install an auxiliary stop, since the closer isn't the thing that should be stopping a 250 lb door at the end of its swing.
5) What is an equivalent heavy duty floor closer to the Norton Rixson F327?
The Dorma BTS80 is a comparable heavy duty floor closer body. Both the F327 and the BTS80 are rated Heavy Duty. The F327 is an offset hung, single acting closer certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 for doors up to 250 lbs, and it ships as a complete package with the closer, mortised rail and arm with slider, and wood and machine screws. The BTS80 is supplied as a closer body only, so the cement case, spindle and top arm hardware are ordered separately to suit the opening.
6) Will the Norton Rixson F327 hold the door open?
No. The F327 has no hold open feature and no delayed action, so the door closes every time it's released. On an opening where you need the door parked open for deliveries or moving carts, plan on a separate overhead stop with hold open or a wall magnet tied to the fire alarm, not on the closer. On rated openings, hold open needs to release on alarm anyway.
7) Can I slow down the last few inches of a door on an F327, or is the closing speed one adjustment?
Three separate valves, adjusted independently: closing speed, latch speed, and backcheck. So you can run a slow general sweep and still snap the last few degrees to drive a latch home, or dial backcheck to stop the door being thrown into the adjacent wall on a windy exterior entrance. That's the adjustment set a heavy commercial entry actually needs, and it's why one closer can serve openings with very different traffic.
8) What comes in the box with an F327 floor closer, and what else do I need to order?
You get the closer, the mortised rail and arm with slider, and both wood and machine screws. What isn't in the carton: the door hardware itself, since the door hangs independently on butt hinges, pocket pivots, or a continuous hinge you buy separately, plus the auxiliary stop that's recommended on the install. Templates for laying out the floor and frame prep come from the manufacturer. If your finished floor sits proud of the case, add an extended spindle to the order.
9) How does the Norton Rixson F327 compare to a Dorma BTS75V floor closer?
Both are Grade 1 floor closers, and neither holds the door open (the BTS75V is listed non hold open, the F327 has no hold open feature). The differences that matter on the order form: the F327 arrives as a complete package with the cement case, mortised rail and arm with slider, and screws, and it's hand specific left or right. The Dorma BTS75V ships as a body only with cement case, less spindle, so the spindle is a separate line. Dorma also offers the BTS80, a heavy duty body only closer. If you want one part number that covers the closer and the arm assembly, the F327 is the simpler order.
10) Is a floor closer or an overhead closer the better choice for a heavy entrance door?
A floor closer like the F327 puts the mechanism in a cement case below the finished floor, so nothing shows at the head of the door. That's the reason it gets specified on glass entrances, monumental wood doors, and anywhere the architect won't accept a closer body on the door face. The trade is the floor prep: coring or forming the case into the slab is a decision you make before the floor is finished, not after. An overhead closer is the retrofit answer on an existing opening. If the door is heavy (up to 250 lbs here) and appearance drives the job, the floor closer earns the extra prep.
11) Which floor closer should I standardize on across a building if I want a matching finish on every door?
The Norton Rixson F327 is the one to standardize on for finish matching. Its exposed hardware comes in 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, BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder, in both left hand and right hand. The Dorma BTS80 and BTS75V are closer bodies, where the exposed cover and arm are specified separately from the body.
12) Can I standardize on the F327 across a whole building's entrances?
For single acting interior and exterior doors up to 250 lbs and 4 ft 0 in wide, yes, and it's a reasonable standardization target for a facility: one Grade 1 commercial closer, one set of adjustment valves your maintenance staff learns once, and thirteen finishes so it matches whatever trim is already on the openings. Where it won't cover you is double acting doors, doors wider than 4 ft, or any opening that needs hold open or delayed action, since the F327 offers neither.
