Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial interior and exterior applications. It combines reliable rack-and-pinion engineering with a cast aluminum body to deliver smooth, controlled door closing. Built to exceed 10 million cycles, this non-handed closer solves the challenge of finding one unit that works on doors of either hand while maintaining consistent performance across extreme temperatures from -40°F to high heat.
The 8501 features independent hex-key adjustable valves for sweep and latch speed control, plus adjustable backcheck and delayed-action closing for versatile installation scenarios. It projects just 2-1/8" from the door surface with its standard full plastic cover. Verify mounting compatibility with your door frame before purchase. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks offers expert guidance on spring power sizing, valve adjustment, and application fit. Contact our team at sales@edlocks.com or 1-877-207-6067 for installation support.
