Norton 6231 690 Door Operator Low Ceiling Fire-rated Dark Bronze

Product Description

The NORTON 6231 690 is a low energy electromechanical door operator designed for push side surface mounting in low ceiling applications. It uses an electric motor to open and control the swing of a door, providing automatic operation without the full power draw of a high-cycle commercial operator. The unit accommodates door swings up to 130 degrees and is fire-rated, making it suitable for use on rated door assemblies where code-compliant automatic operation is required. Installation is handled by door hardware specialists or commercial contractors familiar with ADA-compliant automatic door systems.

This operator is configured with a regular arm and a dark bronze painted finish, fitting standard commercial and institutional door applications where low ceiling clearance limits conventional overhead closer placement. It is well suited for corridors, stairwell entries, and other interior openings in commercial buildings where a fire-rated, push-side automatic operator is required. The low energy classification distinguishes it from high-energy automatic operators, placing it in a category commonly used for accessibility compliance in lower-traffic openings.

Key Features

• Low energy electromechanical operation for controlled, code-appropriate door swing
• Push side surface mount configuration designed for low ceiling installations
• Supports door swings up to 130 degrees for wide clearance openings
• Fire-rated construction for use on rated door and frame assemblies
• Regular arm geometry for standard push side mounting geometry
• Dark bronze painted finish for architectural consistency in commercial interiors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation option for commercial door assemblies requiring a low energy, push side, surface-mounted electromechanical operator with fire-rated compliance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or commercial contractor familiar with ANSI A156.19 low energy power-operated door standards and applicable local building codes. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the door circuit before mounting or wiring the operator. Verify that the door frame, header, and surrounding structure meet the load and clearance requirements specified by the manufacturer before fastening. Do not attempt to force the arm through its range of motion manually while the unit is energized.
