Norton 5831 x SQPB Low Energy Door Operator – Push Side with Square Push Buttons

The Norton 5831 x SQPB is a 5800 Series PRO low energy automatic door operator designed for push-side installation. Part of Norton-Rixson's (ASSA ABLOY) 5800 Series PRO line, this model ships complete with square push button wall switches (SQPB) and includes covers in both 693T and 689 finishes, giving installers flexibility to match existing door hardware. Low energy operators like the 5831 allow pedestrians — including those using wheelchairs, walkers, or carrying loads — to activate door opening hands-free or with minimal effort, supporting ADA-compliant accessible entrances in commercial, institutional, and healthcare environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Push-Side Configuration: The 5831 is engineered specifically for the push side of the door — do not confuse with the 5811 (pull side) or the 5845 model. Correct side selection ensures proper arm geometry and safe operation.
• Square Push Button Wall Switches (SQPB) Included: The SQPB activation switches feature a clean, architectural square profile suited to modern commercial interiors. Switches are included with this package, reducing sourcing complexity for contractors and installers.
• Dual Finish Covers Included: This listing includes switch covers in both 693T (black textured) and 689 (aluminum) finishes, allowing the hardware to coordinate with aluminum storefront or bronze door frames without ordering separate cover plates.
• 5800 Series PRO Platform: Norton's 5800 Series PRO low energy operators are designed for commercial door openings where automatic or power-assist operation is required without the full infrastructure of a high-energy automatic operator. Ideal for interior corridors, restroom entries, office suites, and accessible route doors.
• Low Energy Operation: Unlike high-energy automatic operators, low energy operators open the door at a controlled, reduced speed — typically meeting the force and speed requirements referenced in accessibility guidelines for safe pedestrian use.
• 2-Year Warranty: Norton backs the 5800 Series (including the 5831) with a 2-year warranty covering the operator, consistent with warranty coverage across the 4500, 5200, 5700, 5800, 6200, and 6300 low energy operator lines.

Typical Applications

• ADA-accessible entrances in commercial office buildings
• Healthcare facilities, clinics, and hospitals requiring hands-free door actuation
• Educational and institutional buildings with high-traffic accessible corridors
• Retail and hospitality entries requiring push-side power assist
• Restroom and interior corridor doors on accessible routes
