Norton Rixson FM19-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Norton Rixson FM19 pivot fire rated, and for how long?
Yes, and it is the reason to pick this one. The FM19 carries a 3 hour fire rating and is built for fire door assemblies, with ferrous material used where the fire door assembly requires it. If you are hanging a labeled opening in a stair tower, a healthcare corridor, or a school, that 3 hour rating is what lets the pivot stay on the door under the label.
2) Do I order the 3/4 inch or the 1-1/2 inch offset pivot?
Match the offset to the rest of the pivot set already on the opening. The FM19 comes in both 3/4 inch (19mm) and 1-1/2 inch (38mm) offset, and 3/4 inch is the standard. The offset is the distance the pivot point sits out from the door face, so an intermediate pivot with a different offset than your top pivot and floor closer bottom pivot will not line up on the same swing axis. Read the offset off the floor closer bottom pivot or the existing top pivot and order to match.
3) Is the FM19 intermediate pivot handed, and how do I tell which hand to order?
Handed, yes. You order the FM19 either left hand or right hand, and there is no field-reversible option, so getting it wrong means a return. Stand outside the door on the side it swings away from: if the hinge or pivot edge is on your left, it is left hand; on your right, it is right hand. Match the hand to the floor closer and top pivot already specified for that opening.
4) Will the FM19 pivot work on a door with a beveled edge?
It will. The FM19 accommodates a beveled door edge of 1/8 inch in 2 inches, which is the standard bevel cut on a commercial door leaf. Beyond that bevel you are outside what the pivot is set up for.
5) How much door prep does a full mortise intermediate pivot need compared to a surface mounted one?
Full mortise means routing pockets into both the door edge and the frame so the leaves sit flush, rather than screwing a plate onto the face. The FM19 is designed for full surface, flush door, and frame applications. It is more prep work up front, but nothing protrudes to catch traffic and the pivot is far harder to knock out of alignment on a high traffic opening. If the door is already hung and you cannot rout it, a mortise pivot is the wrong choice for that job.
6) Is the FM19 heavy enough for a high traffic entrance, and is it electrified?
Duty level is heavy duty and the pivot is intended for commercial high traffic openings, which is where intermediate pivots earn their keep: they take load off the top pivot on a door being cycled all day. It is a purely mechanical part with no electrification option, so if your opening needs power transfer through the pivot for an electric lock or a card reader, that has to come from a separate electric transfer hinge or power transfer device.
7) What screws come with the Norton Rixson FM19 pivot?
Wood and machine screws are furnished with the pivot, so you are covered for both a wood frame and a hollow metal one out of the box. Torx screws are an ordering option if your facility standardizes on tamper resistant fasteners, common on schools, detention, and public restroom openings. Specify Torx at the time of order.
8) Can I get the FM19 pivot in a finish that matches the rest of my door hardware?
Seventeen finishes are available on the FM19, covering the common architectural specs: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 689 aluminum painted, 690 dark bronze, 691 bronze painted, 696 satin brass painted, plus BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder.
