Description
The Norton 8501 is a commercial-grade surface-mounted door closer designed for interior and exterior applications where reliability and durability matter. Its rack-and-pinion mechanism with cast aluminum body handles over 10 million cycles, making it ideal for high-traffic facilities, offices, and institutions seeking a non-handed closer that works on either door swing.
The 8501 installs on standard or top-jamb applications and projects just 2-1/8" from the door surface with its full plastic cover. Adjust spring power (sizes 1-6), sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck intensity independently using a hex key. Temperature-stable fluid performs from -40°F to extreme heat. An authorized E.D. Locks dealer can help you select the correct arm style and keying. Call 1-877-207-6067 or email sales@edlocks.com for expert guidance.
