Q: What color is standard and is this equal to Norton 78b/f
A: Sprayed Aluminum 689 is the common finish but the Yale 1902/4 can be ordered in these finishes as well:
Sprayed Finishes:
Aluminum 689 which will compliment 625, 628, 629, 630, 651, 652
Statuary Bronze 690 which will compliment 613, 640, 695 STAT
Dull Bronze 691 which will compliment 612, 637, 639 BL
Black 693 which will compliment 315
Medium Amber 694 which will compliment 312
Gold 696 which will compliment 605, 606, 632, 633 GB
Prime Coat* 600 — SRI
*600 is a special rust-inhibiting prime coat. Closers can be ordered prime coat only (specify closer x 600). An additional charge
applies if finish coat is required over prime coat (ex: 1902/4 x 600 x 690).
Moving forward the Norton 78b/f is not a correct part number. The Norton 78 offers a choice of adjustable spring power as the:
B/D - Spring size 2, 3, or 4
E/F - Spring size 5 and 6
The Yale 1902/4 Traditional Regular Arm Surface Door Closer and the Norton 78B/D are indeed remarkably similar (all but identical).

If you want better pictures that the door closer on the floor by itself or some particular aspect of the closer just please let me know. These are just the first rough round, that I took. And, the Corbins are a lot bigger than the Yales. And, we have plenty of brackets for each. What I need to know is how to pick a good door closer. Both are on the in side( door swings out) and one on the left and one on the right - for just 2 bathroom doors - heavy large oak doors 112 lb. Thanks, thanks, thanks, Butch.
A: These will go onto bathroom doors where? A restaurant?
Q: This is a high frequency flagship garden center location in a downtown area of Birmingham Alabama, like a half city block complex or something with restaurants on either side. Dozens of times a day, he said. Didn't say if they were in the restaurant.
A: The public will use those doors?
Q: Yes - indeed these are public use restrooms.
A: You will need to purchase new closers, none from your collection will work. Great unit to consider:

A conversation that I have had with a previous client regarding this exact instance can be reviewed at the link here:

in summary the conversation goes on to discuss how these door closers that are from the 1940s and 1950s and 1960s and are indeed still available today do not meet current building code especially when it comes to americans with disability act compliance requirements in the federal code.
