Description
The Norton 8301 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial interior and exterior applications. It combines reliable performance with a compact design, using a rack-and-pinion mechanism with cast aluminum construction. This non-handed closer solves the challenge of finding one unit that works on either left or right-opening doors while delivering durability that exceeds 10 million cycles.
The 8301 accepts standard arm and cover options and installs on the door frame with minimal projection. All adjustments—sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck intensity—are made via hex key for precise field tuning. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks provides expert installation guidance and product support. Contact sales@edlocks.com or call 1-877-207-6067 with questions about compatibility or setup.
