Norton Number 2

Overhead Door Holders

Application

Norton No. 2 Overhead Door Holder is for application on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors where the function and cost of a door closer is not warranted. It permits the inactive leaf to be held open when the full opening of the pair is required. It can also be installed on doors with a closer when it is desired to have the hold-open function separate from the door closer.

These handed door holders are for application on the push (stop) side of the door, and require a 1-1/2" (38mm) minimum frame soffit width. The bracket with friction hold-open mechanism is mounted to the frame soffit. The fore-arm shoe is mounted to the top rail of the door, requiring a 1-3/4" (44mm) minimum top rail. An auxiliary stop is recommended when this door holder is used.

This Door Holder is also available with a soffit bracket which extends the center line of the hold-open mechanism 5" (127mm) from the surface of the door. This application provides arm geometry for the door holder installation that is similar to the door closer installation on the opposite door leaf. This door holder with soffit plate is also available with an angle bracket for installation on doors with a flush transom condition.

Features
