Norton 505 Hard-Wired ADA Wall Switch — 6-Inch Square, Finish 32D

The Norton 505 is a 6-inch square, hard-wired ADA push-button wall switch designed to activate low-energy automatic door operators in commercial, institutional, and accessibility-focused applications. Finished in 32D (satin stainless steel) with blue ADA symbol lettering, the 505 delivers a clean, code-compliant appearance on virtually any door frame or adjacent wall surface. This is a hard-wired model — not the 531 wireless/RF switch and not the 506 round-format switch — making it the right choice where a permanent, reliable wired connection to an operator control system is required.

Key Features & Benefits

• ADA-Symbol Push Plate: Stainless steel face plate with blue ADA wheelchair symbol lettering provides instant visual recognition for building occupants and satisfies ADA accessibility signage conventions at automatic door locations.
• 6-Inch Square Format: Larger switch format is easy to activate for individuals with limited dexterity or mobility, supporting accessibility goals in healthcare, education, government, and commercial facilities.
• Hard-Wired Connection: Permanent wired installation ensures consistent, battery-free operation — ideal for high-traffic entrances where reliability and minimal maintenance are essential.
• 32D Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant satin stainless steel construction stands up to heavy-use environments including hospitals, schools, transit facilities, and public buildings.
• Broad Operator Compatibility: Designed for use with Norton low-energy door operator systems including the 4500, 5200, 5700, 5800, 6200, and 6300 series, which carry a 2-year warranty.
• Simple, Recognizable Interface: Single large push surface with no complex controls reduces user error and supports intuitive operation for all building occupants.

• Healthcare facilities — hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers
