FAQ

Door Closer Questions

Common questions about commercial door closers, adjustment, and replacement.

Why is my door closer leaking fluid?
Door closers leak hydraulic fluid when internal seals wear out from age, heavy use, or extreme temperatures. A leaking closer cannot control closing speed properly and will eventually fail completely. Leaking closers cannot be repaired and must be replaced. We carry common LCN, Norton, and Dorma replacement closers on our service vehicles for same-day replacement.
How do I adjust the closing speed on a commercial door closer?
Commercial door closers have two to four adjustment valves that control sweep speed (main closing), latch speed (final inches), backcheck (resistance when opening), and delayed action. Each valve requires a specific adjustment tool and careful calibration. Improper adjustment can damage the closer. We adjust all speeds to manufacturer specifications and ADA requirements.
What size door closer do I need?
Door closer size depends on door width, weight, and application. BHMA sizes range from 1 (light residential) to 6 (heavy commercial). Most standard 36-inch commercial doors require a size 3 or 4 closer. Exterior doors, fire doors, and heavy doors may need size 5 or 6. We assess your specific door and recommend the correct closer size for reliable operation.
What is the difference between overhead and concealed door closers?
Overhead closers mount on the surface of the door or frame and are visible. They are the most common, cost-effective, and easiest to service. Concealed closers are hidden within the door, frame, or floor, providing a clean aesthetic but requiring more complex installation and service. Concealed closers are specified when visible hardware detracts from the design.
How long do commercial door closers last?
A quality commercial door closer typically lasts 10 to 20 years depending on traffic volume, maintenance, and environmental conditions. High-traffic exterior doors in the DMV may need closer replacement every 7 to 10 years. Preventive maintenance including adjustment and lubrication extends closer life. Signs of failure include fluid leaks, slamming, not closing completely, or inconsistent speed.
Do you carry door closers on your service vehicles?
Yes. We stock the most common LCN, Norton, Dorma, and Yale door closers on our service vehicles in multiple sizes and finishes. This allows same-day replacement for most standard commercial doors. Specialty closers, unusual sizes, and specific architectural finishes may require one to three business days for sourcing.

Door Closer Expertise

Understanding Commercial Door Closers

Commercial door closers are hydraulic devices that control the closing speed and force of doors. They are critical for fire safety (ensuring fire doors close and latch automatically), ADA compliance (limiting opening force and controlling closing speed), security (ensuring doors close and latch after each use), and energy efficiency (preventing doors from being left open). Every commercial door in the DMV that has a closer requires periodic adjustment and eventual replacement as the hydraulic mechanism wears out over time.

The most common failure mode for door closers is hydraulic fluid leakage. When internal seals wear out, fluid leaks from the closer body, which is visible as oily stains on the closer or door surface. A leaking closer loses its ability to control closing speed and will eventually fail completely, causing the door to slam or not close at all. Leaking closers cannot be repaired and must be replaced. Other common issues include incorrect adjustment causing doors to close too fast or too slowly, worn arm joints that allow the door to slam, and mounting screws that pull out from heavy use.

Expert Glass Repair provides complete door closer services throughout DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. We carry common LCN, Norton, Dorma, and Yale closers in multiple sizes on our service vehicles for same-day replacement. Our technicians precisely adjust sweep speed, latch speed, backcheck, and closing force to meet manufacturer specifications and ADA requirements. We service surface-mounted overhead closers, concealed overhead closers, floor closers, and electromagnetic hold-open closers.
