Norton Closers 8501689 Surface Mount Door Closer

Product Description

The NORTON CLOSERS 8501689 is an adjustable surface mount door closer with a full cover and sex nut hardware, finished in aluminum. It uses a rack and pinion mechanism with hydraulic valve controls to regulate door swing speed and backcheck. The unit mounts directly to the door face or frame and is suited for commercial and light industrial entryways where consistent, controlled door closure is required. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial finish carpenters typically handle installation. At 7.2 pounds and measuring 15.4 inches in length, 6.3 inches in width, and 3.7 inches in height, it is a full-size closer designed for standard commercial door applications.

This closer is appropriate for commercial buildings, office entryways, and institutional facilities requiring surface-mounted hardware. The adjustable closing and latching speed valves allow field technicians to fine-tune door swing performance after installation without replacing components. The aluminum finish coordinates with standard commercial door hardware. Sex nut fasteners are included, enabling through-bolt mounting where door construction requires it. The full cover conceals the closer body and arm mechanism for a cleaner appearance on finished interior doors.
