Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer engineered for interior and exterior doors in commercial and institutional settings. It solves the challenge of reliable, consistent door closing performance with a non-handed rack-and-pinion design that works on doors of either swing direction, reducing installation complexity and inventory needs.
The 8501 features a cast aluminum body, adjustable spring power (sizes 1-6), hex-key regulated sweep and latch speeds, and backcheck control to prevent door slamming. It exceeds 10 million cycles and performs reliably from -40°F to high temperatures.
