Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for interior and exterior doors in commercial and institutional buildings. It combines reliable rack-and-pinion mechanics with cast aluminum construction to deliver smooth, controlled closing action across a wide temperature range (-40°F to extreme heat). Ideal for high-traffic facilities requiring durability and consistent performance.
This non-handed closer mounts on either left or right doors and projects only 2-1/8 inches from the door surface. Compatible with standard door frames; installation requires basic tools and hex key adjustments. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks offers expert configuration guidance and technical support.
