Norton Rixson 359 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order a left hand and right hand version of the Rixson 359 gate closer?
No. The 359 is non-handed, so one part number covers either swing direction. It is single acting, though, meaning the gate swings one way only, not both. If you need a push-and-pull both-ways gate, this is the wrong closer.
2) How does the Model 359 mount on an office rail gate, and how much clearance do I need?
It is an independently hung closer that mounts under the door, with the bracket surface mounted to the partition edge. Allow 1-1/2 inches of bracket clearance at that edge. Because it hangs independently, the gate's weight rides on butt hinges, which are not supplied.
3) What comes in the box with the Rixson 359, and what else do I have to buy?
The package covers the closer itself, the mounting bracket, and the slide track arm. Hinges are not included, so order butt hinges separately along with fasteners suited to your gate material (wood, metal, or composite).
4) Is the Rixson 359 heavy duty enough for a busy entry or storefront door?
No. It is rated light duty and low traffic, with a 75 pound door limit, for interior office rail gates, partitions and restroom doors. An entrance door or any high-cycle opening needs a full-size commercial door closer instead.
5) Will a Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock close an interior office rail gate the way the Norton Rixson 359 does?
No. The Norton Rixson Model 359 is a gate closer - a single-acting, non-handed unit that mounts under the door and uses a track style arm with all moving parts immersed in lubricating checking fluid to pull an interior gate closed quietly. The Locinox LUKY is a surface mounted swing gate lock with handle, supplied less mortise cylinder, and functions as a single cylinder deadbolt. It secures a gate in the closed position but does nothing to return it there. On an office rail gate or restroom partition door that needs to self-close and also latch, the two are complementary rather than interchangeable.
6) How far will a gate open with the Norton Rixson 359 closer installed?
140 degrees maximum. The arm is a track style, so the gate is controlled through the whole swing rather than free-floating past a point. Plan the adjacent partition or wall so nothing blocks the leaf before it reaches that angle.
7) Can the 359 gate closer hold a partition door open?
No hold open on this one. The 359 closes the gate every time, which is usually what you want on a restroom or changing room door for privacy. If you need a door to stand open, you'd be looking at a different closer with a hold open arm.
8) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 359 gate closer come in, and can I match the rest of my partition hardware?
Seven finishes: 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. The two suede powder options are usually the ones that match painted toilet partition hardware; 689 aluminum is the common match for clear anodized rail gates.
9) Is the Norton Rixson 359 an ANSI rated closer for a spec submittal?
It carries the ANSI/BHMA designation C09053 and is classified for commercial use. That is the line to put on a submittal for an interior gate or partition closer. Full installation detail is in the Norton Rixson 359 installation PDF published with the product.
10) Can I use the Rixson 359 on an exterior swing gate?
No, it is an interior gate closer for office rail gates, partitions and restroom doors. For an outdoor swing gate you're in different territory, closer to gate locking and security hardware such as the Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock, which is built for exterior gate leaves.
11) Does the 359 gate closer lock or latch the gate?
No. It is a closer only, so it controls and returns the gate but provides no security. If the opening also has to lock, pair it with separate gate hardware such as a Locinox security keeper or the Locinox LUKY swing gate lock, which handles the deadbolt function.
12) I need the gate to hold itself open - is there a version of the Norton Rixson 359 or a keeper like the Locinox SHKL-9005-QF2K that does that?
The Norton Rixson Model 359 is built without a hold open feature; it is a light duty, low traffic closer with a maximum opening of 140 degrees and it returns the gate to closed every cycle. The Locinox SHKL-9005-QF2K is a security keeper with Quick-Fix mounting and functions as a single cylinder deadbolt, so it captures and secures the gate leaf at the closed position rather than parking it open. Neither part addresses a hold open requirement, so an opening that must stand open needs a separate hold open device.
13) For an exterior gate, should I specify the Model 359 or something from the Locinox Secura line?
The Norton Rixson Model 359 is a commercial closer intended for interior gate work - office rail gates, partitions and restroom doors - carrying a light duty rating and a 75 pound maximum door weight on widths of 2 feet 2 inches to 3 feet 0 inches. For an exterior swing gate, the Locinox parts are the ones built around that use: the SH-KL-ALUM-QF2K Secura security keeper in aluminum with QuickFix mounting, and the SHIELD-SH-9005 anti-theft protection plate that suits Standard SA and Modulec SA keeps. Those are locking and keeper components rather than closing devices, so an exterior gate that must also self-close will need a closer specified separately for that environment.
14) Will the 359 slam or flap on a lightweight partition gate?
It shouldn't. All the moving parts are enclosed and fully immersed in lubricating checking fluid, which is what keeps a light gate from banging or flapping back and forth. That matters in restrooms and healthcare privacy rooms where noise carries.
