How Door Closers Work

A manual door closer allows a person to open a door easily without having to pull it shut. When a door closer is functioning correctly, the user will feel a level of resistance while opening the door that indicates the weight of the door. After the door has offered initial resistance, it moves open smoothly. When the user has finished opening the door, the door closer's spring makes the mechanism's arm close carefully until the door is back in its frame.

Your door may be malfunctioning because:

The door and closer are poorly matched: The heavier the door, the stronger the door closer it requires. A door closer with the wrong type of closer increases the odds of damage to the building, guests and employees.

The closer was incorrectly installed or adjusted: Glass Doctor of Kalispell, MT door closer specialists use the proper resources to install and maintain door closers to extend their life and keep them in good condition. Regular maintenance will prevent:

• Misalignment
• Unusual or unexpected door movement
• Damage to the door frame

Seals have broken or oil levels are off: Broken seals make hardware susceptible to damage and risk of lubricant leaks. A mechanical problem is likely if the door closer is leaking oil. The issue may be failed seals, a missing screw or broken O-rings. If you believe your door closer is low on oil, hire a professional to replace the oil. Door closers that lack the right amount of oil may cause a door to open or close too quickly, possibly damaging the door or injuring the user.

The door won't lock: When you own a business, leaving a door unlocked after hours is a risk you can't afford to take. A door with a difficult lock also compromises the door closer, locking mechanism and door frame.
