Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial and institutional applications requiring reliable, consistent performance. Its rack-and-pinion mechanism with cast aluminum body handles high-traffic interior and exterior doors with non-handed installation, making it ideal for facilities managers and contractors seeking durable hardware that performs across temperature extremes.
The 8501 exceeds 10 million cycles and projects only 2-1/8" from the door surface with its standard full plastic cover. Adjustable spring power (sizes 1-6), sweep and latch speed controls, and backcheck intensity are all accessible via hex key.
