What is a Commercial Door Closer?

A commercial door closer allows your customers to open a heavy glass door easily and pass through without having to close the door physically. Glass Doctor of Northeast Albuquerque provides hydraulic closers that will help gain easier access to your building entrance. If a closer is installed properly, it will:

• Allow customers to feel some resistance as they open the door, showing them how heavy the door actually is.
• After the initial resistance, the door slowly glides open.
• As the customer walks into the store, letting go of the door, a spring located in the door closer forces the mechanism’s arm to close gently until the door returns to the frame.

These steps help customers smoothly enter your business and not let the door slam shut behind them.

Varying Styles of Door Closers

Commercial Door Closers come in a variety of styles, and Glass Doctor of Northeast Albuquerque can help you decide which best fits your door. The most common door closer styles are:

• Regular Arm: Usually the most power efficient, it is mounted on the exterior of the door.
• Top Jam: This type is used frequently for glass storefront doors.
• Parallel Arm - These are most commonly used in schools because they can be less susceptible to vandalism
• Concealed: These door closers are fitted into the door/doorframe and hidden from sight.
• Surface-mounted: Fitted to the doorframe, usually this is most cost-effective.
• Floor-spring: This door spring is concealed and mounted to the floor instead on in the door.

1. Incorrect Types of Door Closers – Heavy glass doors require strong door closers with strong springs that can hold the door’s force. If a storefront door has the wrong type of closer, it could pose a safety risk of misalignment that can damage the closer or the actual door.
2. Seal Repairs and Low Oil Levels – Broken seals can expose clearance gaps, leaving hardware vulnerable and may cause lubricant leaks. If your door closer is leaking oil, it generally indicates a mechanical problem, such as a broken O-ring or a missing screw. It is imperative to have a glass professional replace the oil in a door closer because a lack of lubricant can cause doors to open or close quickly, potentially posing a safety risk.
3. Improperly Installed and Adjusted Door Closers – Improperly installed door closers can lead to the risk of misalignment and make it more difficult to open and close the doors.
