Description
The Norton 8501A 694 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial interior and exterior applications. Built with a cast aluminum body and rack-and-pinion mechanism, it delivers reliable performance across demanding environments. Non-handed design works on doors of either hand, making it ideal for retrofit and new construction projects where versatility and durability matter.
This closer installs on the door frame and projects only 2-1/8" maximum with its standard full plastic cover. It exceeds 10 million cycles and operates reliably from -40°F to high temperatures. Hex-key adjustable valves let you fine-tune sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck independently. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks offers expert installation guidance and parts support.
