Norton 5730 Low Energy Door Operator – Push Side | 5700 Series | Finish 689
The Norton 5730 is a commercial-grade, low energy automatic door operator designed for push-side mounting on single doors. Part of Norton's established 5700 Series, the 5730 uses a double lever arm configuration and ships in Finish 689 (Aluminum). Low energy operators like the 5730 are the preferred solution for ADA-compliant, code-driven accessibility applications where a fully automatic swing door is required but without the high-traffic demand of a full-power operator. This model is push-side only — for universal (push and pull) mounting, see the 5740. Estimated lead time is 3–4 weeks. DoorwaysPlus can also quote comparable low energy operators from preferred lines such as Accentra (formerly Yale), Hager, Norton, or Corbin Russwin — contact us for alternatives.
Key Features & Benefits
- Push-Side Application: Engineered specifically for push-side door mounting, ensuring correct arm geometry, swing control, and code-compliant operation on designated egress and access doors.
- Double Lever Arm: The double lever arm assembly provides reliable torque transfer and smooth door movement through the full open-and-close cycle, reducing stress on the door frame over time.
- Low Energy Operation: Activates via push plates, motion sensors, or access control triggers, opening the door at a reduced, ADA-friendly speed — meeting the force and speed requirements of ANSI/BHMA A156.19 for low energy power-operated doors.
- Finish 689 – Aluminum: Durable aluminum finish integrates cleanly with aluminum storefront and commercial hollow metal frames common in institutional and commercial buildings.
- 5700 Series Platform: Norton's 5700 Series is a well-established low energy operator family with a range of mounting configurations, giving specifiers and facility teams consistent parts and adjustment logic across a building.
- 2-Year Warranty: Norton provides a 2-year warranty covering the 5700 Series low energy operators (also applicable to the 4500, 5200, 5800, 6200, and 6300 Series).
- ADA & Accessibility Compliance Support: Low energy operators are a primary compliance tool for ADA Title III and ICC/ANSI A117.1 accessible route requirements at doors where manual force limits cannot otherwise be met.

- Healthcare facilities – patient room, corridor, and lobby doors
- Educational buildings – classroom wing and main entry doors
