Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial interior and exterior doors. It combines a cast aluminum body with rack-and-pinion mechanics to deliver reliable, smooth closing action across millions of cycles. Ideal for high-traffic facilities, schools, offices and institutional buildings, it solves the need for durable, consistent door control in demanding environments.
The 8501 is non-handed, fitting doors of either swing direction, and projects just 2-1/8" from the door surface with its full plastic cover. Closer speed (sweep and latch) and backcheck intensity adjust independently via hex key, while spring power ranges from size 1 to 6. Fluid formulation maintains performance from -40°F to extreme heat. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks provides expert sizing and installation support at sales@edlocks.com or 1-877-207-6067.
