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 consistent, reliable door closing across varying temperatures and usage patterns, with a proven track record exceeding 10 million cycles. Ideal for high-traffic facilities requiring non-handed, durable hardware.
The 8501 features a rack-and-pinion design with cast aluminum construction and projects just 2-1/8" from the door surface with standard cover.
