Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for interior and exterior doors in commercial and institutional settings. It solves the challenge of reliable, consistent door closing by combining rack-and-pinion engineering with a durable cast aluminum body, making it ideal for high-traffic facilities that demand performance and longevity.
The 8501 is non-handed and suitable for doors of either swing direction. It features a full plastic cover as standard and projects only 2-1/8 inches from the door surface. For compatibility questions, installation assistance, or to verify fit for your specific door and frame, contact our authorized dealer team at sales@edlocks.com or 1-877-207-6067 for expert guidance.
