Door Closers
The unsung arm at the top of the door that decides whether it slams, drifts, or closes right.
What this service actually involves
A door closer is spring plus hydraulics, and when it fails the symptoms announce it: slamming that shakes the frame, a door too heavy for customers to open, oil streaking the header, or a fire door that no longer closes and latches on its own, which quietly voids its purpose. Adjustment cures many; replacement is straightforward when the hydraulics have bled out.
Selection and installation follow the door, not the catalog: closer sizes matched to door weight and wind exposure, which South Florida entries know intimately, hold-open functions where legal, and ADA-conscious opening forces that keep the entrance usable for everyone. Fire-door closers get treated as the code hardware they are.
Questions, answered straight
The door slams hard enough to rattle glass.
Valve adjustment if the seals are alive, replacement if the oil has left. The technician can tell in minutes, and either way the slam ends.
Our entry door is too heavy for some customers.
Closing force is adjustable within code, and ADA-aware setup balances a door that closes reliably against one everyone can open.
Does the fire door really need its closer working?
Yes, unambiguously: a fire door only compartmentalizes if it self-closes and latches. A propped or dead-closer fire door fails inspection and its actual job.
