Norton Closers 8501696 Surface Mount Door Closer Gold

Product Description

The NORTON CLOSERS 8501696 is an adjustable surface mount door closer with a full cover and sex nut fasteners, finished in gold. It uses a rack and pinion hydraulic mechanism with valve-controlled backcheck to regulate door swing speed and closing force. The aluminum alloy body keeps the unit lightweight while maintaining durability in commercial and light industrial door applications. Licensed door hardware technicians and commercial contractors are the typical installers. At 7.1 pounds and measuring 15.3 inches in length, 6.3 inches in width, and 3.6 inches in height, the unit is sized for standard commercial door frames.

This closer is suited for commercial and institutional settings where controlled door closure is required on hinged interior or exterior doors. The adjustable design allows the installer to fine-tune closing speed and backcheck to match door weight and traffic frequency. The gold finish makes it appropriate for door hardware sets in lobbies, offices, or other spaces where finish matching is a priority. It is sold as a single unit and is also available in case quantities of four.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed door hardware technicians or commercial contractors familiar with surface mount closer applications. Power down any access control or electrified hardware integrated into the door assembly before beginning work. Follow the door and frame manufacturer's template for mounting hole placement to ensure proper arm geometry and closing arc. Adjust closing speed and backcheck valves only with the appropriate tool after the closer is fully mounted and the door is operating freely.
