Norton Closers 8301690 Surface Mount Door Closer Dark Bronze

Product Description

The NORTON CLOSERS 8301690 is an adjustable surface mount door closer finished in dark bronze and supplied with a slim line cover and sex nuts for a clean, finished installation. The rack and pinion hydraulic mechanism delivers controlled closing speed and latching force through valve-based adjustments, allowing the installer to tune performance to the door weight and application. The slim line cover conceals the closer body for a low-profile appearance suited to commercial and institutional entryways. At 7 pounds, the unit is a complete assembly ready for mounting. Licensed door hardware installers and finish carpenters are the typical trade installing this closer.

This closer is designed for surface mount installations on commercial, institutional, or high-traffic residential doors where adjustable closing speed and reliable hydraulic performance are required. The dark bronze finish suits architectural hardware programs calling for oil-rubbed or dark metal finishes. The included sex nuts allow through-bolt mounting where the door construction calls for it, expanding installation flexibility across hollow metal, solid wood, and composite door types.
