Norton Rixson 357 690 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Rixson 357 gate closer?
No handing to specify. The 357 is a non-handed, double-acting closer, so the same unit works on a left or right hand gate and lets the leaf swing in both directions. The only thing you pick at order time is finish.
2) What comes in the box with the Norton Rixson 357, and do I need to buy the pivot separately?
The pivot is included. A 357 ships as closer body, mounting bracket, mortise top pivot, and arm assembly. The body mounts under the gate on the supplied bracket, and the arm can be surface mounted or mortised depending on how the leaf is built.
3) Will a Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock do the same job as a Norton Rixson 357 gate closer?
No - they solve different halves of the gate. The Norton Rixson Model 357 is a double-acting gate closer that controls the swing and returns the gate to center, with all moving parts immersed in lubricating checking fluid so an interior office rail gate or partition door does not slam or flap. The Locinox LUKY is a surface mounted swing gate lock with a handle, supplied less mortise cylinder, and its function is listed as a single cylinder deadbolt - it secures the gate in the closed position but provides no closing control. On a gate that needs both, the 357 handles the closing and a lock handles the securing; neither replaces the other.
4) I need hardware for an exterior perimeter swing gate - is the Norton Rixson 357 the right choice, or should I look at Locinox?
The Norton Rixson Model 357 is built for interior service: it is rated commercial, light duty, low traffic, and is intended for interior office rail gates, partitions, restroom doors, reception gates and retail counter gates up to 75 lbs and 2 ft 2 in to 3 ft 0 in wide. For a perimeter swing gate you are in different territory - Locinox offers swing gate hardware such as the LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock with handle and the SHKL-9005-QF2K security keeper with Quick-Fix mounting, which are gate locking and keeper components rather than closing control. Match the 357 to light interior dwarf gates and look to the Locinox swing gate line where the application is a full perimeter gate needing a lock and keeper.
5) Does the Rixson 357 hold the gate open?
No hold open on the 357. It closes the gate every time from any position up to 90 degrees. For a restroom or reception gate that has to stand open during deliveries or cleaning, you would need a separate hold-open device or a different closer.
6) Is the 357 gate closer heavy duty enough for a busy retail counter gate?
It is rated light duty and low traffic. That suits an office rail gate, a partition leaf, a reception gate, or a restroom door that cycles occasionally. A retail counter gate that swings continuously through a shift is beyond what this one is rated for, and so is anything over 75 lbs.
7) Will the Rixson 357 stop a swinging gate from flapping and banging?
That is what it is for. All the moving parts are enclosed and fully immersed in lubricating checking fluid, so the gate is damped in both directions instead of slamming or flapping back and forth. Closing speed and latching force are adjustable on the unit after mounting.
8) Is the Rixson 357 suitable for an exterior perimeter gate?
No. The 357 is an interior gate closer, built for office rail gates, partitions, and restroom doors inside a commercial building. For an exterior swing gate you are in different territory, and hardware like the Locinox USA LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock is the kind of product that opening calls for.
9) Where does the weight of the gate get carried with a Model 357 closer?
The frame carries the full door weight, not the closer. The 357 body mounts under the gate and works with a mortise top pivot at the head, so before installing confirm the jamb or post is solid enough to hang a 75 lb leaf on its own.
10) My gate needs a hold-open. Does the Norton Rixson 357 hold open, and what pairs with it if I also need to secure the gate?
The Model 357 does not hold open - it is a non-handed double-acting closer with a 90 degree maximum opening that returns the gate to center in both directions, and its hold open feature is listed as no. If the gate must stand open or must be held shut, that function comes from separate hardware. For securing, Locinox offers keeper and lock components such as the SH-KL-ALUM-QF2K Secura security keeper in aluminum with QuickFix mounting and the SHIELD-SH-9005 anti-theft protection plate for Standard SA and Modulec SA keeps, both catalogued with a single cylinder deadbolt function. Specify the 357 for controlled closing and add locking hardware separately.
11) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 357 gate closer come in?
Seven finishes: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 flat black, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. If you are standardizing gates across a building, 689 and 690 are the usual matches to existing Norton closer hardware.
12) Does the Rixson 357 gate closer meet an ANSI/BHMA designation for spec work?
It carries ANSI C09053 and is classified for commercial use. That is the reference to put on a submittal for an interior gate or partition closer.
