Kawneer KW050879-29 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kawneer KW050879-29 arm fit a Norton 1601 door closer?
Yes. The KW050879-29 is a hold open arm made specifically for the Norton 1601 series closer, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement with no modification to the closer body. If your closer is any other Norton series or another brand, this arm is not the part.
2) Can I replace just the closer arm instead of the whole Norton 1601 closer?
That is exactly what this part is for. The KW050879-29 hold open arm restores hold-open operation on an existing Norton 1601 closer without swapping out the closer itself, which keeps the door out of service for less time. If the closer body is leaking oil or has lost its closing force, the arm alone will not fix that.
3) What does a hold open arm actually do on a door closer?
It lets the door stand open at a set position instead of closing every time, which is what maintenance crews want on doors that see constant traffic or move carts and equipment. The KW050879-29 provides that hold-open function on Norton 1601 closers. Note that a hold-open arm is not appropriate on an opening required to be self-closing, such as a rated fire door.
4) Is this an OEM Kawneer part or an aftermarket arm?
Genuine Kawneer service part, model KW050879-29, built to original equipment specs. For property managers and facility teams standardizing on Kawneer entrances, ordering the OEM service part avoids the fit guesswork that comes with generic closer arms.
5) What finish is the Kawneer KW050879-29 hold open arm, and will it match my storefront hardware?
Black. It is finished to coordinate with standard commercial door hardware, so it suits openings already trimmed out in black or dark anodized hardware. On aluminum or clear-anodized entrances the arm will read as a contrast piece.
6) Is the KW050879-29 arm rated for commercial traffic or is it a light-duty residential part?
Commercial. The arm is a commercial-grade service part intended for daily-use openings in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings.
