Norton Rixson L117-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson L117 pivot handle a lead-lined x-ray room door?
That's exactly what the L117 offset top pivot set is built for. It carries lead-lined doors up to 400 lb and 4 feet wide, which covers most radiology, nuclear medicine, and lab shielded openings. The weight rating is the number to check first: weigh or calculate your leaf with the lead sheet included, because a shielded door of a given size runs far heavier than a standard hollow metal one.
2) Do I need to specify hand when ordering the Rixson L117 pivot?
Yes. The L117 is ordered left hand or right hand, in either 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed or 626 satin chrome, so four combinations total. Determine the swing from the secure side before you order; an offset pivot cannot be flipped in the field the way some butt hinges can.
3) Is the L117 a complete pivot set or do I need a separate floor closer?
The L117 is a top pivot set in a center hung, top and bottom pivot arrangement. It handles the head of the opening; the bottom of the door still has to be supported by a matching bottom pivot or floor closer sized for the same 400 lb load. Plan the floor component into the job before you cut the slab.
4) Can I use the Rixson L117 on a fire rated door opening?
No. The L117 carries no fire rating, so it should not be specified on a labeled opening. Shielded rooms that also require a rated door assembly need pivot hardware listed as part of that assembly. For non-rated heavy lead-lined doors, the L117 is on spec.
5) What is the difference between a center hung offset pivot and standard butt hinges on a heavy door?
Butt hinges hang the whole load off the frame edge, which is where heavy lead-lined leaves tear out jambs over time. The L117 is a center hung offset pivot: the weight transfers through the top pivot into the header and down through the bottom pivot into the floor, so the load runs vertically rather than pulling sideways on the frame. That is why it is rated heavy duty and commercial rather than residential.
6) Is the Rixson L117 an electrified pivot for access control power transfer?
No, the L117 is a purely mechanical pivot with no electrical option. If the shielded door needs power to an electric lock or maglock, run it through a separate electric power transfer or an electrified hinge elsewhere on the opening.
7) Does the L117 pivot require special door and floor prep?
Yes, and it is not a hinge swap. Center hung pivots need the header routed and drilled for the top pivot and the floor prepped for the bottom pivot, laid out from the manufacturer's template. Cut the prep before the lead-lined leaf is on site, and confirm alignment top to bottom so the door hangs plumb and swings balanced under its full weight.
8) Which finish of the L117 should I order to match the rest of my hospital door hardware?
Two finishes are offered: 626 satin chrome and 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed. In healthcare and lab corridors 626 is the usual match, since most commercial levers, closers, and exit devices in those buildings are specified in 626 or 630. Pick 613 only if the existing openings are already dark bronze.
