Why Door Closers Matter

We can install and repair all types of mechanical door closers, including surface-mounted models like the one shown here.

A door closer is a mechanical device that regulates the speed and action of a door’s swing and ensures a door closes and latches automatically after being opened. Properly working closers:

• Prevent doors from slamming
• Ensure doors latch securely for security
• Help contain fire or smoke in an emergency
• Reduce energy loss from open doors, as they are significant energy management tools
• Support ADA compliance when properly adjusted

We service surface-mounted, floor-mounted, and overhead concealed closers on all types of commercial doors, including aluminum and glass storefront doors, steel security doors, fire-rated doors, and interior office doors.

Signs You Need Door Closer Repair

If a door slams shut, doesn’t close all the way, or drifts open unexpectedly, the closer may be worn out or need adjustments. Common problems include leaking hydraulic fluid, broken internal seals, misaligned/bent arms, and loose mounting screws. These issues can lead to safety hazards, higher energy costs, or damage to doors and frames.

We inspect and test the unit, then make the necessary repairs or recommend replacement if the closer is no longer functional. Often, a door closer fails due to normal wear and tear or incorrect installation. Our team corrects these problems to restore proper performance.

Professional Door Closer Installation

Correct installation ensures your closer can easily handle the door’s size, weight, and traffic load. We select closers that match the demands of your location and mount them to fit the door and frame securely. Our process includes:

• Inspecting the door, frame, and mounting surface
• Installing the closer with the correct fasteners
• Adjusting the swing speed, latch speed, and backcheck
• Testing operation and confirming the door swings at the desired speed and closes and latches completely

We also check for code compliance and ensure that each unit responds consistently. We install a properly rated replacement if the existing hardware is not rated or has suffered internal damage.

Fire Doors, Exterior Doors, and Heavy-Duty Applications

Fire doors like this one in a medical facility need commercial-grade door closers that can withstand constant use and operate correctly. Contact us today to set up a routine maintenance schedule to keep them in good working order and prevent serious failures.

Some commercial doors face heavier use or must meet additional safety standards. Fire doors, for example, must close and latch completely to comply with safety codes. High-traffic entries, like those found in retail shops and medical buildings, require closers built to withstand very heavy use.

For these applications, we install closers with stronger springs, adjustable closing speeds, and heavy-duty arms that resist wind, air pressure, and misuse. If your business experiences frequent door slamming or complaints about hard-to-open doors, we can assess and recommend an appropriate upgrade.

Maintenance and Adjustments

Even a high-quality door closer needs occasional maintenance and adjustment to remain effective. Changes in the weather, door frameshifting, and long-term use can affect performance. We inspect the closer for:

• Leaking seals
• Weak or stiff springs
• Inconsistent closing speed
• Misalignment from loose screws or door sagging

In most cases, we can restore proper function by adjusting the tension screws, tightening hardware, lubricating necessary parts, or replacing worn arms. Regular maintenance helps extend the lifespan of the closer and ensures the door continues to operate smoothly.
