Norton Rixson L147-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson L147 top pivot handle a lead-lined x-ray room door?
That is what the L147 offset top pivot set is built for. It carries doors weighing up to 300 lbs, which covers the added mass of lead-lined doors used in imaging suites, radiation therapy rooms, and lab entrances. Stainless steel construction keeps it serviceable in wipe-down sterile areas.
2) Is the L147 pivot approved for a fire-rated door opening?
No. The L147 pivot set carries no fire rating, so it should not go on a labeled fire door assembly. For a rated opening you need pivot hardware specifically listed for fire door use. On non-rated lead-lined and heavy commercial doors the L147 is the right class of hardware.
3) Do I have to specify a hand when ordering the L147 top pivot?
Yes, it is ordered by hand. The L147 top pivot set comes in left hand and right hand, both in 626 satin chrome. Determine the hand from outside the door: if the door swings away from you on hinges to your left, it is left hand. Order to match the leaf, because a top pivot cut for the opposite hand will not line up with the bottom pivot.
4) Is the L147 a complete pivot set, or do I still need a bottom pivot?
The L147 is the top half. It is a top pivot intended to run with a matching bottom pivot or a floor closer to make a full top-and-bottom pivot system, so budget the bottom hardware into the same order. Nothing in the top pivot carries the door on its own.
5) What ANSI grade does the Norton Rixson L147 pivot meet for a hospital spec?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4, Grade 1, which is the heavy-duty tier for pivot hardware and the level most institutional and healthcare specs call out. That plus the commercial-duty classification is usually enough to clear a hospital or university hardware schedule.
6) Why use an offset pivot instead of hinges on a heavy lead-lined door?
Hinges hang the whole load off the edge of the leaf, and with lead sheet inside a door that can run to 300 lbs the leaf tends to sag and drag. An offset pivot like the L147 transfers the load through the top and bottom of the opening instead, keeping the door in alignment over the long term. It is the normal choice where standard butt hinges are not suitable for the door construction.
7) Is the L147 pivot an electrified or power-transfer unit?
No, it is purely mechanical. There is no electrified option and no wire path through the pivot, so if the opening needs power to an electric lock or exit device you will need a separate transfer device such as an electric hinge or a door loop.
