Norton 7970 RH 689 Concealed Overhead Security Closer

Norton 7970 RH 689 Overhead Concealed Security Closer offers a seamless and secure solution for door control in environments where aesthetics and safety are paramount. This non-hold open closer is designed for use in both commercial and high-security settings, such as detention centers and psychiatric facilities. The unit features a concealed design that hides the closer, arm, and slide track within a 4" frame header, leaving only the solid one-piece arm visible when the door is open, which enhances vandal resistance. Crafted from durable cast aluminum alloy, the Norton 7970 is equipped with four to five adjustable noncritical valves that regulate sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck cushioning. This allows for precise control over door movement, ensuring compliance with Accessibility Code specifications. The hydraulic fluid used in the closer is non-gumming and non-freezing, promoting reliable operation in various conditions. Additionally, the unit comes with a fireblocking door liner, making it suitable for 20-minute wood fire door assemblies. The Torx screws with a center security pin enhance security, making the Norton 7970 an optimal choice for those prioritizing both concealment and safety in door hardware solutions. With its matte silver finish, it blends effortlessly into any professional environment while providing the security you can trust.
