See the images tab for details on mounting, finish and bolt hold alignment.

 

Tri-Pak Mounting Kit

This basically means the closer is furnished with a parallel arm bracket.  When this bracket is used, the closer may be mounted parallel arm style.  When not using the bracket, the closer can mount regular arm or top jamb mounting style.

 

Narrow Footprint

The narrow body style allows the unit to mount to only 2″ of flat surface.  This allows the 1601 to be used on both standard and aluminum storefront doors and frames.

 

Closer Replacement

When replacing an existing closer, first check the bolt hole alignment.  This is the best method of ensuring you receive an exact replacement.  Regardless of closer brand, use the bolt holes to determine the proper model number for replacing a closer.

 

ADA Compatibility

The standard model closer has an adjustable spring for sizes 3-6.  This works well with most doors, especially exterior doors.  The spring may be adjusted to meet ADA requirements (Americans with Disabilities Act).

When you have an interior door, there are no concerns about wind or other forces that affect an outside door.  Norton makes another version of the 1601 specially suited for interior doors, the 1601BF (barrier free).  It’s spring is adjustable sizes 1-4.

Standard 1601 – use on exterior doors

1601BF – use on interior doors

 

Hold Open

When you need the closer to have the hold open feature, a different arm is furnished.  The hold open is all in the arm and has nothing to do with the closer body.  Examples of models that include the “H” hold open feature: 1601H, 1601BF-H
