Norton Rixson H117-3/4 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How far off the door edge does a Rixson H117 center hung door swing?
The pivot point sits at a constant 2-3/4 inches (70mm) from the door edge, centered in the thickness. Because it is center hung, the door edge rotates back into the opening as it swings, so you lose clear opening width on both sides compared with an offset pivot or butt hinge. The pivot edge of the door also has to be radiused for the door to clear the frame.
2) How heavy and how tall a door can the Rixson H117 pivot set carry?
Up to 1000 lbs, with door sizes up to 4'0" x 8'6" (1219 x 2591mm). That covers oversized entry leaves, tall glass-and-metal doors, and heavy solid core or clad doors that would tear out standard butt hinges.
3) What comes in the Rixson H117-3/4 pivot set, and can I buy it without the top pivot?
The standard set is the mortised bottom pivot plus the H340 top pivot, top and bottom together. There is also a less-top-pivot version for jobs where the top is already handled, for example when an overhead concealed closer or an existing H340 stays in place. Pick the "Less Top Pivot" option accordingly when you order.
4) Is the Rixson H117 pivot set ANSI Grade 1, and is it fire rated?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, the heavy-duty commercial tier for door controls. It carries no fire rating, so on a labeled opening you need hardware listed for that assembly.
5) Do I need to order a left hand and right hand version of the H117 pivot set?
No, the H117 is non-handed. One part number covers both hands, which is why it is a straightforward set to stock for a property with doors swinging both directions.
6) What floor and door prep does the H117 bottom pivot need?
The bottom pivot mortises into the floor, so the slab or threshold has to be routed and drilled from the manufacturer template, not just surface drilled. The door needs the pivot edge radiused and the pivot point located 2-3/4 inches in from the edge. Wood and machine screws are provided for mounting the H340 top pivot.
7) My door has a thick threshold buildup at the bottom, can the H117 spindle be lengthened?
Yes. Extended spindles are available in 1/2 inch (13mm) increments up to 2 inches (51mm) longer than standard, which handles raised thresholds, sunken floor conditions and topping slabs. Specify the extension when you order rather than shimming the pivot.
8) Center hung pivot or offset pivot for a heavy commercial door?
Center hung, as with the H117, puts the pivot inside the door thickness so the leaf swings both directions on a balanced axis and the load runs straight down into the floor, which is why it takes doors up to 1000 lbs. The trade-off is lost clear width and a radiused door edge. An offset pivot hangs the door on the frame side and preserves more clear opening, which matters on ADA-driven openings, and it does not need the door edge machined. Choose center hung for weight and double-acting swing, offset when clear width governs.
9) What finishes does the Rixson H117 center hung pivot set come in?
Ten BHMA finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Each is offered both as the full set and less the top pivot, so you can match existing hardware across a building either way.
10) Is the Rixson H117 an electrified pivot for power transfer to the door?
No, it is a mechanical pivot only, with no electrical path through it. If you are running power to a lock or exit device on the leaf, plan on a separate electric power transfer or a door loop.
11) Will the H117 pivot hold up in a high traffic entrance?
It is a heavy-duty commercial pivot with an additional surface applied thrust bearing carrying the vertical load, which is what keeps the swing smooth as the door wears in. Grade 1 under A156.4 is the top heavy-duty tier for this hardware class. It is specified for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail and municipal entrances.
