Norton 5710 Low Energy Door Operator — Pull Side, 5700 Series (Finish 689)

The Norton 5710 is a commercial-grade, low energy automatic door operator engineered for pull-side installation on single swing doors. Part of the Norton 5700 Series, the 5710 features a rigid arm and slide track configuration — purpose-built for pull-side applications where a reliable, code-compliant hands-free door opening solution is required. Finished in 689 (Aluminum), this operator blends durability with a clean commercial aesthetic suited to high-traffic institutional, healthcare, educational, and government facilities.

Low energy operators like the 5710 are the preferred solution where ADA-compliant automatic door access is needed without the full-power requirements of high-energy operators. They open the door at a controlled, safe speed and allow manual use when the actuator is not engaged — making them suitable for locations serving individuals with mobility challenges, patients, residents, and the general public.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pull-Side Configuration: Rigid arm and slide track assembly designed specifically for pull-side mounting, providing a positive, controlled sweep without the need for a universal or push-side bracket.
• Low Energy Operation: Opens doors at reduced, pedestrian-safe force and speed in compliance with low energy operator standards — ideal for ADA accessible entrances and barrier-free design.
• 5700 Series Platform: The 5700 Series is a well-established Norton low energy operator family, offering a broad range of configurations for various door sizes, weights, and swing directions.
• Finish 689 — Aluminum: Standard aluminum finish integrates seamlessly with aluminum storefront, hollow metal, and commercial wood door frames common in institutional construction.
• 2-Year Warranty: Norton provides a 2-year limited warranty covering the 5700 Series low energy operators, reflecting confidence in long-term performance under commercial use conditions.
• Manual Override Capability: When the operator is not actuated, the door can be operated manually — an essential feature for egress compliance and everyday convenience.

Typical Applications

• Healthcare facilities: hospital corridors, clinic entrances, patient room doors
• Educational buildings: school main entrances, administrative offices, accessible restroom corridors
• Government and municipal buildings requiring ADA-compliant automatic access
• Retail and commercial lobbies with high pedestrian traffic
• Senior living and assisted-living facility entrances and common area doors

Specifier & Buyer Notes

The Norton 5710 is a pull-side-only operator — it is not the 5740 universal model. Confirm door hand, swing direction, and mounting conditions before ordering. Lead time is approximately 3–4 weeks.
