Norton Rixson

Norton Rixson stands at the forefront of the door control industry, renowned for its reliability, extensive selection, and tailored solutions—a reputation well-earned through a legacy of innovation.

Established in 1880 by Lewis C. Norton, the Norton Door Check Company introduced the first practical commercial door closers to the market. In subsequent years, Norton Door Controls elevated the rack and pinion closer and introduced the concept of valve-controlled backcheck for hydraulic door closers. Since its inception, Norton has continuously led the way with numerous advancements aimed at enhancing functionality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. These innovations include aluminum alloy bodies, narrow-style non-handed closers, adjustable backcheck, speed adjustments, specialized application arms, and, most recently, Wi-Fi-enabled low-energy operators.
