Product identity
The Norton 161 series door closer is a manual hydraulic unit designed for interior and exterior doors in commercial and institutional settings. It carries ANSI A156.4 Grade 2 certification and is UL and cUL listed for fire door assemblies. The aluminum housing with cast aluminum arm provides corrosion resistance for long service life.
Upgrade path
This closer replaces worn or non-compliant hardware on doors that require adjustable closing force from size 1 through 4. The jump is worthwhile when an existing closer cannot meet ADA opening-force requirements or fails to hold the door open reliably. The non-handed design simplifies specification across multiple openings.
Sustained operation
Hydraulic fluid controls the sweep and latch speeds consistently across temperature cycles, preventing the sudden slamming or slow drift common with worn pneumatic units. The hold-open arm engages at up to 180 degrees and maintains position without manual adjustment. Parallel, regular and top-frame mounting options accommodate varied frame conditions without performance loss.
