Norton NBKIT16-BSP Norbell Mechanical Door Chime Attachment

Product Description

The NORTON NBKIT16-BSP NorBell is a mechanical door notification chime attachment designed to fit the Norton 1600 series door closer. As the door opens, the NorBell uses the rotation of the door closer pinion to produce an audible chime — no batteries, no wiring, and no electronic components required. The Black Suede Powdercoat finish provides a clean, low-profile appearance suited for commercial and institutional door applications. Installation requires no modifications to the door or frame, minimizing impact on the door assembly and overall aesthetics.

This chime attachment is intended for commercial doors equipped with a Norton 1600 series surface-mounted closer. It is well suited for retail entrances, office suites, institutional facilities, and any application where passive door-open notification is preferred without the cost or maintenance burden of an electronic alert system. The mechanical design eliminates the need for power sources and reduces the risk of tampering or false activations common with sensor-based systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified door hardware technician or commercial locksmith. The door closer should be in the fully closed and non-operational position before attaching the NorBell kit. No cutting, drilling, or frame modification is required. Verify that the existing Norton 1600 series closer pinion is accessible and undamaged before fitting the attachment.
