Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rixson?
Rixson is an ASSA ABLOY brand specializing in pivots and floor closers. It is best known for pivots and floor closers.
What products does Rixson make?
Rixson's product range includes center-hung and offset pivots, floor closers, and overhead door holders.
When should I use a Rixson pivot or floor closer instead of hinges?
Pivots and floor closers carry the door's weight from the top and bottom rather than the edge, which suits heavy, oversized, or high-traffic doors and clean architectural entrances. Rixson floor closers also conceal the closer in the floor for a minimal look.
Where is Rixson hardware typically used?
Rixson hardware is specified for heavy, high-traffic, and architectural pivoted doors.
Is Rixson hardware suitable for commercial and code-regulated openings?
Yes. Rixson products are made for commercial use and, where applicable, carry ANSI/BHMA A156.4 for door closers. Confirm the specific model's listings against the opening's fire, smoke, accessibility, or security requirements.
How do I select the right Rixson pivot set?
Choose by door weight and width, frequency of use, and whether the door is center-hung or offset. Heavier and higher-traffic doors need a higher-capacity pivot or floor closer; confirm the floor preparation for concealed models.
