Norton Rixson 355 691 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Rixson 355 gate closer?
Neither. The 355 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right swing gates. That is a consequence of it being a double-acting closer: the gate swings through in both directions, so there is no hand to specify. For a property manager standardizing several openings, it means one stock item covers the whole run.
2) What is a double-acting gate closer and when should I use one instead of a regular door closer?
A double-acting closer like the 355 controls a gate that swings both ways and returns it to center from either direction. Use it on cafe-style openings: office rail systems and interior partitions, lavatory stall doors, warehouse interior access points. A conventional overhead door closer only handles a leaf that swings one way against a stop, so it will not work on a free-swinging gate. If the opening is a normal single-direction door, a standard surface closer is the right product, not this.
3) How does the Rixson 355 mount to the gate, and does it need floor prep?
The closer body is flange-mounted underneath the gate leaf, with a mortise top pivot carrying the head. So no floor cement case or concrete cutting is involved, but the top of the gate does need to be mortised for the pivot and the gate bottom needs enough solid material to take the flange fasteners. Verify the leaf construction will hold the mounting before you commit, especially on hollow or composite partition stock.
4) Can the Norton Rixson 355 be used on an exterior gate?
No. The 355 is an interior gate closer. For a yard gate, driveway gate, or any leaf exposed to weather, you want gate hardware built for outdoor service instead. Locinox makes surface-mounted swing gate hardware for that duty, such as the LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock, though that is a lock rather than a closer.
5) Is the Rixson 355 rated for a busy lobby or high-traffic entrance?
The 355 carries a Light Duty rating with a Low Traffic rating. It suits interior partition gates, counter gates, and stall doors where the leaf cycles occasionally. For a main entrance or a heavily cycled opening, specify a heavier closer instead. It is a commercial-grade product, but commercial grade and high cycle count are not the same thing.
6) Is a Locinox LUKY surface mounted gate lock an alternative to the Norton Rixson 355 gate closer?
No - they do different jobs on the same gate. The Norton Rixson Model 355 is a double-acting closer that controls the gate's return and lets it swing both directions, mounted under the gate with a mortise top pivot. The Locinox LOCLUKY0J5LZCZB9005 LUKY is a surface mounted swing gate lock with a handle, supplied less mortise cylinder, and it secures the gate closed rather than closing it. On an interior gate that needs both controlled closing and latching, the 355 and a lock are specified together, not one instead of the other.
7) How far does the Rixson 355 gate closer let the gate open?
90 degrees is the maximum opening, in each direction, since it is double acting. That is worth checking against your layout: if the gate needs to lay back flat against a wall or swing past 90 to clear a cart path, this closer will stop it short.
8) Does the Rixson 355 hold the gate open in a propped position?
No hold-open on the 355. It closes the gate from either direction every time, with no detent or stop to park it open. If you need the gate to stay open for deliveries or a loading window, this is the wrong closer for that opening.
9) What ANSI number does the Norton Rixson 355 gate closer carry for a spec submittal?
ANSI C09053. That is the number to put on the hardware schedule for the 355. It is a commercial-rated specialty closer, light duty, low traffic classification.
10) Is the Norton Rixson 355 a lock as well as a closer?
It is a closer only. The 355 controls the swing and returns the gate to center, nothing more. If the opening also needs to be secured, that is separate hardware: Locinox makes swing gate locking products such as the LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock, and security keepers like the SHKL-9005-QF2K with Quick-Fix mounting.
11) I need to add security to an existing gate, not control its swing - what should I be looking at instead of the 355?
Look at the Locinox line. The SHIELD-SH-9005 is an anti-theft protection plate for Standard SA and Modulec SA keeps, and the SHKL-9005-QF2K is a security keeper with Quick-Fix mounting - both address protecting and receiving the gate at the lock side. The Norton Rixson Model 355 is a commercial double-acting closer for interior gates and adds no security function; it has no hold open feature and is rated light duty for low traffic. If the gate already closes the way you want and the issue is the lock point, the closer is not the part to order.
12) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 355 gate closer come in?
Seven: 689 Aluminum, 690 Dark Bronze, 691 Light Bronze, 693 Flat Black, 696 Satin Brass Painted, plus BSP Black Suede Powder and WSP White Suede Powder. If you are matching a run of existing openings, 689 and 690 are the usual pairings with clear and dark anodized aluminum storefront, and the two suede powder coats give a flat black or flat white where painted trim is the reference rather than metal.
