7900 Series

Overhead concealed closers provide an aesthetically appealing way to close a door. In situations where a closer is needed but concealment in the frame header is required or desired, the Norton® 7900 closer is the ideal solution for door control. Once installed, only the solid one-piece arm is visible when the door is open; therefore, this unit provides a high degree of vandal resistance. When the door is closed, the closer, arm and slide track are fully concealed. For applications where concealment is required and security is the main concern, the 7970 should be used.

The 7900 overhead closers are best suited for high-profile applications such as office buildings or conference centers. The 7970 security closers offer the necessary concealment and tamper resistance required in detention and psychiatric facilities. Used in conjunction with the door position switch (DPS) they provide the ability to monitor door status remotely.
