Norton Rixson 354 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a Norton Rixson 354 be used on an exterior gate?
No. The 354 is an interior gate closer, built for dwarf doors, partitions and office rail gates inside the building. For a swing gate on the outside of a building you want exterior gate hardware instead, such as the Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock. Putting the 354 on a weather-exposed gate is using it outside what it is specified for.
2) Does the Norton Rixson 354 gate closer need to be handed left or right?
No handing to specify. The 354 is a non-handed, double-acting closer, so the same unit works on a left or right hand gate and the gate swings both directions. That also means one part number covers every opening in a run of partitions instead of stocking two.
3) How far will a gate open with the Rixson 354 closer installed?
90 degrees is the maximum opening, in either direction since the closer is double acting. Lay that out before mounting: if the gate needs to swing wider than square to clear a cart, a wheelchair or a stretcher route, plan the opening around the 90 degree stop rather than expecting more.
4) Does the frame or the closer carry the weight of the gate on a Rixson 354?
The frame carries the full gate weight. The 354 body mounts under the gate and controls the swing; it is not a load bearing pivot set. That puts the structural question on your header and jamb, so the frame has to be capable of hanging a 75 lb leaf before the closer goes in.
5) What comes in the box with a Norton Rixson 354, and what do I still have to buy?
Shipped as a package: the closer body, the bracket, the flange style arm, and a surface mounted top pivot. What is not in the box is the fastening, so pick anchors to suit your frame material at the header. Beyond that the closer is complete out of the carton, no separate arm or pivot to order.
6) Is a gate closer the same thing as a gate lock, and do I need both?
Different jobs. The Rixson 354 controls the swing, it brings the gate back closed and keeps it from slamming, but it does not secure anything. If the gate also has to lock, that is separate hardware, such as the Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock with handle (supplied less mortise cylinder, so a cylinder is ordered with it) or a Locinox Secura security keeper for the strike side. Many interior partition gates take a closer only, since they are traffic control rather than security.
7) Will a Locinox LUKY surface mounted gate lock close an interior office rail gate, or is a hydraulic closer still needed?
They do different jobs and a gate that needs to self-close needs both. The Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock with handle is a locking device supplied less mortise cylinder, so it secures the gate once it is shut but does nothing to bring it shut. The Norton Rixson Model 354 is a double-acting gate closer for interior dwarf doors, partitions, and office rail gates from 2 ft 2 in to 3 ft 0 in wide up to 75 lbs, with all moving parts immersed in lubricating checking fluid so the gate closes quietly instead of slamming or flapping. On a partition gate that has to latch every time, the 354 controls the swing and the LUKY handles the lock.
8) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 354 gate closer come in?
Seven, and they cover both the standard architectural range and the suede powder coats: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 flat black, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. For matching a run of partition gates in one building, 689 and 690 are the two that line up with the aluminum and bronze storefront work most often already in place.
9) Is the Norton Rixson 354 quiet enough for a healthcare or office interior?
Quiet operation is the point of the hydraulic design. All the moving parts run fully immersed in lubricating checking fluid inside an enclosed body, which is what stops the gate slamming or flapping back and forth after someone pushes through. On a nurse station rail gate or an office partition gate that cycles all day, that is the difference between controlled and banging.
10) What ANSI/BHMA designation does the Norton Rixson 354 carry?
ANSI C09053, and it is specified as commercial grade hardware. If you are writing it into a submittal or matching a spec on the drawing, C09053 is the number to reference for the 350 Series gate closer.
11) Can a Locinox security keeper be used instead of a gate closer to keep a gate from swinging free?
No. The Locinox SH-KL-ALUM-QF2K Secura security keeper in aluminum with QuickFix mounting and the SHKL-9005-QF2K security keeper with Quick-Fix mounting are strike-side keepers that receive a lock bolt, and the SHIELD-SH-9005 is an anti-theft protection plate for standard SA and Modulec SA keeps. None of the three control the swing. The Norton Rixson Model 354 is the part that does: a non-handed double-acting closer that mounts under the gate with the frame carrying the full door weight, using enclosed hydraulic control over a maximum 90 degree opening. A keeper only matters once the gate has already arrived at the post.
