How Door Closers Work
With a manual door closer, the door will only provide a little bit of initial resistance before gliding open smoothly. The user won't have to worry about closing the door behind them either since a spring in the door closer will gently force the door closed once the user has stopped applying resistance.
Door Closer Care
Wrong Types of Door Closers
Different types of doors require different types of door closers. For example, a heavier door will need a door closer that boasts stronger springs. By installing the wrong type of door closer, the door could result in a safety risk or damage or misalignments to the door and the door closer.
Poorly Installed and Adjusted Door Closers
Proper installation and adjustment will contribute to a longer lifespan, not to mention keep them in good working condition. Door closer installation and maintenance should be performed by an experienced specialist in order to prevent:
- Damage from occurring to the doorframe
- Abnormal or unexpected movements
- Misalignments of the door
Seal Repairs and Low Oil Levels
When a door experiences a broken seal, it will expose clearance gaps. This could leave your door's hardware vulnerable and could also result in lubricant leaks. If an oil leak occurs, it's usually an indication that there is a mechanical issue with the door closer, whether it's a missing screw, a broken O-ring or a failed seal.
Because a lack of lubrication could result in a door opening or closing to quickly, it's important to have a professional replace your door closer's oil.
The Door Has Difficulty Locking
It goes without saying that a door that has difficulty locking presents a security risk to your business. However, a faulty lock can also affect the condition of the doorframe, the door closer and the locking mechanism itself.
