Norton Locks Austin TX Rekey & Replacement (512)523-4550
If you’re managing a commercial property, school, or healthcare facility and need to upgrade door closers or ensure code-compliant exit hardware, Norton door systems are the industry standard. While Norton is best known for its overhead door closers, many installations include integrated lock hardware or work in tandem with electrified locking systems. At Lock Change Austin, we specialize in the service, replacement, and integration of Norton closers with mechanical or access-controlled locks. We provide fast, same-day mobile service with upfront pricing and expert knowledge of ADA and life safety code requirements.

Why Using Norton Hardware
Norton (part of the ASSA ABLOY group) is a trusted manufacturer of door closers and power operators used in commercial environments across the U.S. While Norton doesn’t make traditional locks, its products are critical in controlling how doors open, close, and work with locking systems. We work with Norton closers alongside mortise locks, panic hardware, and access control systems.
Advantages:
- Industry-leading hydraulic and electromechanical door control
- ADA-compliant power door operators for hospitals and offices
- Reliable integration with panic bars and electric strikes
- Backed by ASSA ABLOY compatibility and warranty
Disadvantages:
- Not a direct lock manufacturer — works in tandem with locking systems
- Professional installation often required for ADA and fire code compliance
If you’re upgrading a facility’s doors, Norton closers are essential — and must be serviced by technicians familiar with locking system alignment, pressure control, and exit timing.
Norton Lock Rekey
While Norton hardware itself isn’t rekeyed, we often rekey the locks associated with Norton-equipped doors — including mortise locks, rim cylinders, and electrified trims. When replacing or servicing a Norton closer, it’s common to rekey the corresponding locks to maintain security and eliminate old key access.
We carry compatible cores and keyways (Schlage, Yale, Corbin) to rekey doors controlled by Norton-equipped hardware, including fire doors and exit routes.
Estimated cost: $25–$45 per lock; IC core and restricted systems may range up to $65 per unit. Rekeying can be bundled with closer adjustments or replacement service.
Smart Locks
Norton closers integrate with smart access systems by controlling the timing and force of door operation. While Norton does not make smart locks, their power door operators are frequently used with keypad readers, card access, and remote-release strikes — especially in ADA-compliant buildings.
Smart Integration: Norton 6000 and 6300 series operators work with electric strikes and badge readers for seamless entry. These systems are commonly seen in medical facilities, campuses, and secured office wings.
Smart Lock Alternatives: If you want to upgrade the full system, we offer compatible ASSA ABLOY smart lock and access control packages that pair with Norton closers for automated, secure access control.
We handle both the physical closer and lockset, ensuring timed retraction, door pressure compliance, and electronic signal coordination.
Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith
Norton closers and operators are not recommended for DIY installation due to the complexity of pressure adjustments, ADA compliance, and electrical integration. Installing a closer improperly can damage your door, hardware, or void code compliance.
DIY Pros: Very limited — only surface-mount manual closers with provided templates might be manageable for experienced users.
DIY Cons: Common problems include oil leaks, door binding, improper swing, or lack of latch control. Improper use can interfere with exit hardware and trigger code violations.
Professional Pros: Guaranteed alignment, closer calibration, integration with locks/panic bars, and full ADA/life safety compliance. We’ll get it right the first time.
Professional Cons: Slightly higher up-front cost — but critical for commercial liability and functionality.
