Norton 5740 Low Energy Door Operator – 5700 Series Universal Push & Pull (Finish 689)
The Norton 5740 is a commercial-grade, low energy automatic door operator from Norton (Norton-Rixson / ASSA ABLOY), part of the proven 5700 Series platform. Designed for universal push or pull applications, the 5740 powers both the opening and closing cycles at reduced force levels — making it well suited for ADA-compliant accessible entrances, assisted-living facilities, healthcare corridors, educational buildings, and any high-traffic opening where hands-free convenience is required without the full power and cost of a high-energy automatic operator. Finish 689 (Aluminum) integrates cleanly with aluminum storefront, hollow metal, and commercial wood door frames.
