Dynasty Hardware 8500 Series Door Closer — Grade 1 Heavy Duty, ADA Compliant

Powerful, reliable performance for busy entrances

The Dynasty Hardware 8500 Series Door Closer is engineered for medium- to high-traffic doors, delivering a smooth, controlled close in demanding environments. It supports doors from 30 to 240 lbs, making it a solid fit for aluminum storefronts, bustling restaurants, and busy offices where dependable operation matters day in and day out.

Smart control, easy installation

Two independent valves let you fine-tune closing and latching speeds. An adjustable back-check helps prevent abrupt openings, protecting people and hardware. The unit is non-handed and supports multiple mounting styles (regular arm, top-jamb, parallel arm) and surface mount installation, with sizing adjustable from 1 to 6 (preset to 3). It also shares the same mounting hole pattern as Norton 8501 and 8301, making it a convenient replacement option for existing installations.

• Adjustable from size 1 to 6, with a quick-setup preset at 3.
• Compatible with common hole patterns for easy replacements.

ADA compliant and safety-conscious

Fully ADA compliant and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, UL-listed for fire door assemblies, the 8500 Series emphasizes safe, predictable performance. The design uses reduced spring power to ease opening, supporting accessibility for a wide range of users without sacrificing reliability.

Durable, compact design

The sprayed aluminum finish paired with a durable plastic cover creates a sleek, low-profile appearance and long-lasting durability. Dimensions of 12.75" L × 1.75" W × 2.125" D ensure the closer remains unobtrusive on many doorframes while maintaining a professional look in storefronts and offices.

All-in-one installation kit

Each 8500 Series closer includes a matching arm, all necessary fasteners, a mounting template, and clear instructions. The kit is tri-packed with wood screws, metal screws, and thru-bolts for fire-rated doors, enabling installation on both wood and metal doors with ease.
