Description
The Norton 8501 Series is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for interior and exterior applications where reliable, consistent performance matters. Built with a cast aluminum body and rack-and-pinion mechanism, it handles high-traffic doors in commercial, institutional, and residential settings. The non-handed design works on doors of either swing direction, simplifying inventory and installation.
This closer exceeds 10 million cycles and features independent hex-key adjustment of sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck intensity. The full plastic cover is standard. Compatible with most door frames and arm styles; installation requires minimal tools. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D.
