Norton 1601 Series
Door Closers
• Non-handed
• Rack-and-pinion design
• Cast aluminum body
• 1-3/8" diameter piston
• 5/8" diameter pinion journals
• Standard, separate and independent, latch, sweep and backcheck intensity valves
• 2-7/8" projection
Closer bodies are constructed of a special aluminum alloy, carefully selected to accommodate interaction with steel components and operating conditions.
Rack & Pinion Operation provides a smooth constant control of the door through its full opening and closing cycle. 180° door swing can be achieved when door, frame, hardware and arm function do not limit door swing.
Hold Open Option
Achieved by means of friction or ball and detent/roller. Friction hold open has a range of 90° to 180° using template location and mechanical adjustment. Ball and detent or roller hold open is effective in a range of 85° to 110°. Hold open arm door closers are not permitted to be used on fire door assemblies.
Adjustable Delayed Action Closing (Optional)
An optional hydraulic feature, available in lieu of backcheck, adds a third speed range to the closing cycle. This feature becomes effective when the door is opened and released at any point beyond 70°. The amount of time delay depends upon the combination of the angle of door release and valve adjustment. The valve can be adjusted with a 1/8" (3mm) hex key from no delay time up to maximum delay times of:
