The 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.
This heavy-duty, durable closer package now includes a steel track, steel slider, polymer slider pads and dress plates. The steel
track and slider offer additional strength to the unit, while the polymer pads provide quiet operation and easy assembly. Standard
features include rack and pinion operation, adjustable sweep and latch, and adjustable backcheck cushioning and positioning.
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
conjuction with the door position switch (DPS) it provides the ability to monitor door status remotely.
