Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for interior and exterior doors in commercial and institutional settings. Built with a cast aluminum body and rack-and-pinion mechanism, it provides reliable closing action rated for over 10 million cycles, solving the challenge of maintaining secure, controlled door closure in high-traffic environments.
This non-handed closer installs on doors of either swing direction and projects only 2-1/8" from the door surface with its standard full plastic cover. Compatible with regular arm and top jamb installations, it features independently adjustable sweep and latch speed valves, backcheck control, and multi-size spring power (sizes 1-6) for precise tuning to your door weight and application.
