How Door Closers Work

Manual door closers eliminate the need for people to close a door behind themselves physically. When a user opens the door, they will feel a level of resistance that allows them to judge the weight of the door and open it with ease. After the initial resistance, the door moves open smoothly. Once the user has stopped applying resistance, the door closer's spring makes the arm of the mechanism close carefully until the door has returned to its original position in its frame.

Keeping door closers in good working condition extends their lifespan, ensuring they work correctly for years to come. Hiring experienced specialists to install and maintain your door closers and adjust their springs is critical for preventing the following issues.

  • Misalignment
  • Unusual or unanticipated door movements
  • Damage to the door frame

Seal repairs and low oil levels: A broken seal exposes clearance gaps, leaving hardware susceptible to damage and increasing the risk of lubricant leaks. Typically an oil leak points to a mechanical issue with a door closer, such as failed seals, broken O-rings or a missing screw. When you suspect low oil level, call a professional to refill the oil in a timely fashion. When a closer is lacking lubrication, the door may open or close too quickly, potentially injuring the user or the door itself.

Difficult to lock doors: Doors that are difficult to lock present a security risk for your business. They may also compromise the well being of the door closers, door frames and locking mechanisms.
