Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial interior and exterior doors. Built with cast aluminum construction and rack-and-pinion mechanics, it handles 10+ million cycles and operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40°F to high heat. Non-handed design works on either door swing, making it ideal for facilities managers and contractors seeking durable, low-maintenance closure solutions.
The 8501 features independent hex-key adjustment for sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck intensity, plus multi-size spring power (sizes 1-6) to match your door weight and application. Surface projection is 2-1/8" or less with the standard full plastic cover.
