Kawneer KW050878-17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Kawneer KW050878-17 part?
It's a Norton 1601 door closer supplied with a standard arm, finished in clear aluminum, sold as a Kawneer-designated service replacement component. So you're buying the closer body and arm as one service assembly rather than a loose closer, which is why it carries a Kawneer number instead of a Norton one.
2) Will the clear aluminum finish match my existing Kawneer storefront doors?
Clear aluminum is the standard mill-look anodized finish used across aluminum storefront and commercial entrance systems, so it coordinates with untinted aluminum door stiles and frames. If your openings are dark bronze or black anodized, this closer will stand out and you'd want a matching finish instead.
3) Is a standard arm the right choice, or do I need a regular arm alternative?
The KW050878-17 ships with the standard arm, which mounts to the door and frame in the conventional configuration for compatible Kawneer door and frame setups. It projects out from the frame face, so if your opening has a deep reveal, an overhead stop, or you need the closer tucked out of the way, a standard arm is not the configuration you want and you should source the closer in the appropriate arm type.
4) Is this closer suitable for high-traffic commercial entrances, or is it a residential closer?
Commercial only. It's designated for commercial use and typical placements are office building entrances, retail storefront aluminum doors, school and healthcare corridor and entry doors, municipal buildings, warehouse access points, and multi-tenant maintenance programs.
5) I manage a portfolio of buildings with Kawneer entrances. Can I standardize on this part for closer replacements?
That's what it's built for. As a genuine Kawneer service replacement component it restores closer function on compatible Kawneer door assemblies without reworking the rest of the hardware, so a maintenance program can stock one number for clear aluminum openings using the Norton 1601 with standard arm. Openings with a different arm type or finish need their own part number.
6) Can I use the KW050878-17 to replace a Norton 1601 closer that isn't on a Kawneer door?
The part is designated and sourced as a Kawneer service component for compatible Kawneer door systems, and that is the fit it's guaranteed against. It carries the Norton 1601 mechanism, but if your opening is another manufacturer's aluminum door, match the closer and arm to that door's prep rather than ordering the Kawneer service number.
7) Does this come as a complete closer, or do I have to order the arm separately?
The arm is included. The KW050878-17 is the Norton 1601 closer with the standard arm as one service assembly, so no separate arm order is needed. Frame-side mounting screws and any drop plate or bracket your particular opening requires are not described as part of it.
