Norton Rixson ML19RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson ML19 intermediate pivot work on a lead-lined X-ray room door?
That is exactly what the ML19 is built for. Its screw holes are spaced to straddle the lead lining running down the center of the door, so the fasteners bite into the door core instead of driving through the lead sheet. It is a 3/4 inch offset intermediate pivot with a non-ferrous base, carrying load so a heavy lead-lined leaf keeps its alignment over time. Medical imaging suites and shielded rooms are the typical application.
2) What door thickness does the ML19 offset intermediate pivot cover?
Doors from 1-3/4 inches up to 3 inches. Thickness is a required selection when ordering, and the choices are 1-3/4 inch, 2 inch, 2-1/4 inch, 2-1/2 inch and 3 inch. The pivot is built to the thickness you pick, so measure the actual leaf before ordering rather than assuming a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door. Lead-lined leaves frequently run thicker than the openings around them.
3) Is the ML19 pivot handed, and how do I order the right hand?
Handed, yes. Left hand and right hand are separate parts, and both are stocked in all ten finishes. Determine the hand from the door swing before ordering; a left hand pivot will not serve a right hand opening. Every finish, from 605 bright brass through 626 satin chrome, is available in both hands.
4) Is an intermediate pivot the same thing as a top or bottom pivot, and do I still need those?
No, it is a different part with a different job. An intermediate pivot is a load-bearing support that sits between the top pivot and the bottom pivot or floor closer; it does not hang the door on its own. You still need the top and bottom pivot set. The ML19 keeps a heavy leaf in alignment and helps hold position while a floor closer and pivots are being set.
5) Do I need to bevel the door edge to install an offset pivot?
Yes, the door edge must be beveled 1/8 inch in 2 inches for the pivot to swing clean. Use the manufacturer templates to lay out the screw holes so they fall either side of the lead lining, then drill and fasten. Skipping the bevel is the usual reason an offset hung door drags on the frame.
6) Does the ML19 come with mounting screws, or do I buy fasteners separately?
Both wood and machine screws ship with the pivot, so it mounts to a solid core wood door or a metal door without a separate hardware order. Torx screws are an option if the job calls for them.
7) Will an offset hung pivot work on a center hung door installation?
No. The ML19 is offset hung with a 3/4 inch offset, meaning the pivot point sits inboard of the door face rather than on the door centerline. A center hung opening needs center hung hardware, and the door prep and floor closer differ. Match the pivot to how the rest of the set is hung before ordering.
8) Will a non-ferrous pivot hold up on a high-traffic hospital corridor door?
The ML19 is a heavy duty commercial pivot, built for heavy, high-traffic leaves where a standard pivot fails. The non-ferrous base resists corrosion, which matters in wash-down and healthcare corridors, and the load-bearing design is what keeps a heavy door from dropping out of alignment under constant cycling.
9) What finishes does the ML19 3/4 inch offset intermediate pivot come in?
Ten finishes, all in both hands: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. On an intermediate pivot only a narrow edge shows once the door is hung, so most specifiers match it to the top and bottom pivots and the balance of the opening hardware rather than to the door itself.
