Commercial Door Closer Repair and Maintenance
If your door closer is under warranty, don’t accidently void it by having an untrained worker attempt repair on it. The technicians at Glass Doctor of Seneca, SC frequently have to replace or repair door closers because of these three key problems:
- Incorrect Door Closer for Your Door: Heavy Glass Doors require a strong door closer with strong springs that can hold the weight and force of the door. Having a closer that cannot hold your door will pose the safety risk of misalignment that can damage the closer or the actual door.
- Incorrectly Installed or Adjusted Door Closers: Closers that are improperly installed also will misalign your door and make it extremely more difficult to open and close the door – sometimes making it stick.
- Low Oil Levels and Broken Seals: Oil leaks generally indicate a mechanical problem with the door closer, such as a missing screw, a broken O-ring or a failed seal. Broken seals expose clearance gaps that may leave lubricant leaks and leave the hardware vulnerable.
Glass Doctor technicians bring the right tools to install and maintain commercial door closers to ensure that:
- Abnormal or unexpected movements of the doors is prevented.
- The lifespan of your door closer is maximized.
- Your door and door closer remain in good working conditions.
