Norton 5740-RF1 Low Energy Door Operator — Universal Mount with Radio Frequency Activation
The Norton 5740-RF1 is a commercial-grade, low energy automatic door operator from the Norton 5700 Series (Norton-Rixson / ASSA ABLOY). This universal-mount unit includes the RF1 radio frequency activation option, enabling hands-free or wireless push-button door control — an ideal solution for ADA-compliant accessible entrances, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, and high-traffic commercial applications. Finished in 689 (Aluminum), the 5740-RF1 is designed for both push and pull side installations across a wide range of door configurations.
Key Features & Benefits
- RF1 Radio Frequency Option: Integrated wireless receiver allows activation via RF transmitters or push-button fobs, reducing the need for hardwired wall switches and simplifying ADA-compliant activation layouts.
- Universal Mount Design: Accommodates a broad range of door types, handing configurations, and mounting conditions, reducing the need for multiple operator models on a single project.
- Low Energy Operation: Provides controlled, code-compliant door opening force and speed — suitable for locations where full-power automatic operators are not required or permitted.
- 5700 Series Platform: Part of Norton's established 5700 Series low energy operator line, known for straightforward field adjustment and compatibility across the series' accessory and control ecosystem.
- 2-Year Warranty: Backed by Norton's stated 2-year warranty covering the 5700 Series low energy operator line.
- Finish 689 — Aluminum: A neutral, commercially standard finish that blends with aluminum storefront, hollow metal, and architectural door frames.
Typical Applications
- ADA-accessible entrances in commercial, institutional, and healthcare facilities
- School and university entry doors requiring hands-free activation
- Office building lobbies and corridors where wireless push-button control is preferred
- Retrofit projects where running new switch wiring is impractical — RF activation simplifies installation
- Interior and exterior doors requiring low energy automatic operation per local accessibility codes
