Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer for interior and exterior doors. Designed for high-traffic commercial and institutional settings, it solves the challenge of controlling door swing consistently across temperature extremes and millions of cycles. The non-handed, rack-and-pinion design fits either hand, with a full plastic cover and projects only 2-1/8" from the door surface.
The 8501 delivers smooth operation through independent hex-key adjustment of sweep and latch speeds, plus backcheck and delayed-action valves for precise control. Compatible with standard arm and top jamb mounting, it performs reliably from -40°F to extreme heat. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks offers expert installation guidance and technical support at sales@edlocks.com or 1-877-207-6067 to ensure optimal performance for your application.
