Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for interior and exterior applications where reliability and durability matter. Built with a cast aluminum body, rack-and-pinion mechanism, and rated for over 10 million cycles, it solves the challenge of controlling door swing on high-traffic doors while maintaining a professional appearance with its full plastic cover.
The 8501 is non-handed, allowing installation on doors of either hand, and projects just 2-1/8" from the door surface. Spring power adjusts from size 1 to 6, with hex-key valves for sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck control. Fluid maintains performance from -40°F to extreme heat. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks provides expert guidance on sizing, installation, and adjustment. Contact sales@edlocks.com or call 1-877-207-6067 for personalized support.
