In the world of facility management, a door is only as good as its closer. Norton (an ASSA ABLOY brand) has been the industry leader in door control for over 140 years. From the workhorse 7500 Series to the durable 1600 Series, Norton closers are designed to handle high-traffic institutional abuse while maintaining smooth, adjustable control. At Lock Depot, we stock the closers that maintenance pros rely on to keep doors from slamming or catching the wind.
We carry a deep inventory of 7500 Series Heavy-Duty Closers, which feature independent latch, sweep, and backcheck intensity valves. Whether you're spec'ing a school hallway, a hospital patient room, or a retail entrance, Norton provides the ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 reliability required by code. We stock multiple finishes, including 689 (Aluminum) and 690 (Statuary Bronze), with all necessary mounting brackets and arms.
If you have a door that won't latch because of air pressure (HVAC stack pressure), don't just crank up the spring power. Use the Independent Latch Speed Valve on your Norton 7500. A slight increase in the final 10 degrees of closing can overcome the air resistance without making the door too heavy for ADA compliance. Over-tightening the main spring is the #1 cause of premature seal failure.
Norton closers ship brand new with full factory warranty from our warehouses across America. Order by 2 PM EST and it ships same-day.

The 7500 is a "Heavy-Duty" closer for high-traffic/institutional use with more adjustment valves. The 1601 is a "Standard-Duty" Grade 1 closer ideal for typical office or storefront applications.
Most Norton closers are "Tri-Packed," meaning they include hardware for Regular, Top Jamb, and Parallel Arm mounting right out of the box.
If you see oil leaking from the main spindle or the door is "slamming" despite adjustment, the internal seals have failed. It's time for a replacement.
