1601 INTRODUCTION/ORDERING

Introduction

Norton Series 1601/1601 BF door closers combine rugged durability, optimum control of swinging doors and a complete range of spring power adjustment. Hydraulic control and spring power adjustments are easily made right at the door.

Together these features help achieve the opening force requirements of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), ANSI 117.1 National Handicapped Codes, as well as the industry's most demanding performance criteria, ANSI 156.4-Grade 1.

You can find no better door control for commercial or industrial aluminum, hollow metal or wood doors. Most 1601/1601 BF closers are tri-packed for regular, parallel or top jamb mounting and are non-handed so they will provide excellent control on virtually all applications right out of the box.

Non-critical, independent valves allow precision adjustment of sweep speed, latching speed, back check or delayed action. The same "easy turn" hex key adjustment allows you to increase or decrease the spring power to suit the opening.

Norton Series 1601 SS and 1601 BF-SS are fabricated with stainless steel and non-ferrous components making them ideal for installation where resistance to corrosion is important.

Special mounting hardware is available to meet virtually any door type or application. For special applications, consult Norton's Technical Support Group.
