Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial interior and exterior doors. Its cast aluminum body and rack-and-pinion mechanism deliver reliable performance across demanding applications, making it ideal for high-traffic facilities that require consistent, fade-free closing action.
This non-handed closer installs on either door orientation and projects just 2.125" from the door surface with its standard full plastic cover. Spring power adjusts from size 1 through 6, with hex-key valves for sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck control. Rated for over 10 million cycles in temperatures from -40°F to extreme heat, the 8501 performs reliably year-round. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D.
