Norton Rixson 270 605 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Norton Rixson Model 270 center hung pivot set used for?
The Model 270 is a center hung pivot set designed for heavy commercial doors. It allows doors to pivot from a center point rather than traditional side hinges. Commonly used for entrance doors, vestibule doors, and high-traffic applications where smooth operation is critical.
2) What door sizes and weights is this pivot set compatible with?
Check the manufacturer specifications for exact capacity limits. Norton Rixson pivot sets typically handle substantial door weights but verify your specific door dimensions and weight against the technical data sheet. Door thickness and overall size affect compatibility.
3) Can this pivot set be used for both left and right hand doors?
Most Norton Rixson center hung pivot sets are field reversible or non-handed. The Model 270 should accommodate either swing direction. Confirm handing requirements during installation planning to ensure proper operation.
4) What finishes are available for the Model 270?
Norton Rixson typically offers standard architectural finishes. Common options include polished brass, satin brass, bronze, and stainless steel. Verify available finishes for your specific project as options may vary by model and availability.

Norton Rixson designs products to meet accessibility standards when properly installed. Verify that your complete door assembly including closer and pivot set meets local ADA requirements. Consult your local building codes for specific compliance needs.
7) What components are included with the Model 270 pivot set?
A complete pivot set typically includes top and bottom pivot assemblies, mounting hardware, and installation templates. Verify the complete parts list with your order. Some installations may require additional accessories or reinforcement hardware.
8) How is the Model 270 installed in the door and frame?
Installation requires precise mortising of both door and frame. Use manufacturer templates for exact positioning. The top pivot mounts in the frame header while the bottom pivot is set in the floor or threshold. Professional installation recommended for proper alignment.
9) Can the pivot tension be adjusted after installation?
Most Norton Rixson pivot sets allow for field adjustment of tension and alignment. The Model 270 should include adjustment mechanisms for fine-tuning door operation. Follow manufacturer procedures for any post-installation adjustments to maintain warranty coverage.

11) Is this pivot set suitable for exterior door applications?
Check the Model 270 specifications for weather resistance ratings. Many Norton Rixson pivot sets are suitable for exterior use when properly finished and sealed. Consider environmental factors like moisture and temperature extremes for your installation location.
12) What are the critical measurements needed before ordering?
Measure door thickness, width, height, and weight accurately. Note frame construction and available mortising depth. Header height and floor conditions affect pivot placement. Verify all dimensions against manufacturer templates before ordering to ensure proper fit.
