Description
The Norton 8501 is a heavy-duty surface-mounted door closer designed for commercial and institutional applications where reliability and durability matter. Built with a cast aluminum body and non-handed rack-and-pinion mechanism, it handles both interior and exterior doors while withstanding over 10 million cycles. This closer solves the need for precise, consistent door control across temperature extremes from -40°F to high heat.
The 8501 mounts surface-style and projects just 2.125 inches from the door, fitting standard door frames without modification. Multi-size spring adjustment (sizes 1-6), independent sweep and latch speed controls, and adjustable backcheck give facility managers fine-tuned closing performance. As an authorized Norton dealer, E.D. Locks provides expert configuration guidance and fast shipping.
