Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial and institutional buildings requiring reliable, durable closure on interior and exterior doors. It solves the problem of controlling door swing speed and ensuring secure latching with precision valve adjustment and a non-handed design that works on either hand.
The 8501 features a cast aluminum body, rack-and-pinion mechanism, and full plastic cover standard. It exceeds 10 million cycles and operates reliably from -40°F to extreme heat. Compatible with standard door frames; installation requires surface mounting with projection under 2-1/8". For detailed compatibility or installation guidance, contact E.D.
