Norton Rixson 180-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 3/4 inch offset on a Rixson 180 top pivot actually mean for my door?
On the Model 180, the 3/4 inch (19mm) is measured from the centerline of the pivot to the face of the door. That is the swing radius the door pivots on, and it has to match the bottom pivot and the floor closer in the same opening. Mixing a 3/4 inch top with a 1-1/2 inch bottom throws the door out of alignment. The 180 is offered in both 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch offset, so pick the one that matches the rest of the set.
2) Do I have to specify hand when ordering a Rixson 180 top pivot?
Yes. The 180 top pivot is ordered left hand or right hand, so the door's hand has to be settled before the order goes in. Stand outside the opening: if the hinge or pivot side is on your left and the door swings away from you, that is left hand. Getting it wrong means the pivot arm points the wrong way and the door will not hang.
3) Can I use a Rixson 180 pivot on a fire rated door?
The standard 180 is a non-ferrous pivot and is not fire rated. For a fire door assembly you need the ferrous version, the F180, and a 20 minute label option is available. Order the 20 minute label configuration rather than the plain 180 if the opening carries a label.
4) Will a Rixson 180 top pivot work with the floor closer I already have?
The 180 is a standard offset top pivot built to work with most offset pivot sets and floor closers. The thing that decides it is the offset: the top pivot, the bottom pivot or closer arm, and the door prep all have to be on the same offset dimension, either 3/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch. Match that number to what is in the floor and the pivot lines up.
5) Should I use an offset pivot or a center hung pivot on a commercial door?
An offset pivot like the Rixson 180 hangs the door off a point set in from the door face, so the door swings clear of the frame and reveals a normal gap at the hinge edge. That is the setup for standard commercial doors on a floor closer where you want a conventional look and a door stop in the frame. Center hung hardware pivots the door on its own centerline and lets it swing both ways, which is what you want for a double acting door. The 180 is offset hung only, top and bottom pivot type.
6) Is the Rixson 180 pivot rated for a high traffic entrance?
The 180 is a standard duty commercial pivot. It uses an oil-impregnated sintered bronze bushing at the pivot point, which is what carries the wear in normal commercial and institutional service. For an entrance seeing constant use all day, a heavy duty pivot set is the better specification; the 180 suits standard doors in offices, schools, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant residential.
7) Is the Rixson 180 a surface applied pivot or does the door and frame need to be prepped?
Full mortise. The 180 mortises into the door and frame rather than surface mounting, so the head and the door top need to be routed to the template before it goes on. That is why it is worth confirming the prep on an existing opening before ordering; a door cut for a surface pivot will not take it without new prep work.
8) What finishes does the Rixson 180 top pivot come in for matching the rest of my door hardware?
Ten finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so a 626 pivot matches 626 exit devices and closers on the same opening.
9) Do the mounting screws come with the Rixson 180 pivot?
The 180 ships with fasteners, and Torx screws are an option if you want a tamper-resistant head on the exposed plate. That matters on schools, transit and government openings where the pivot plate is reachable. Standard screws are the default.
10) Will a non-ferrous Rixson 180 pivot hold up in a pool room or coastal building?
The base material on the standard 180 is non-ferrous, which resists corrosion better than a plain steel pivot in damp or salt air. Note the tradeoff: the fire rated F180 is ferrous, so on a labeled opening in a corrosive environment you give up the non-ferrous material to get the label.
11) Is the Rixson 180 pivot electrified for access control?
No. The 180 is a purely mechanical pivot with no electrical transfer through it. If you need power to the door for an electrified lock or exit device, that has to come through a separate power transfer or an electrified hinge in the opening.
