Running a business? Security is critical. Our commercial locksmith services help protect your business, assets, employees, and customers. From high-security lock installations to access control systems and rekeying.
Why a Door Closer is Important for Your Business
Enhanced Security
Doors that automatically close help prevent unauthorized access and ensure that your property remains secure.
Controlled Traffic Flow
Door closers regulate entry and exit points, making it easier to manage foot traffic in busy areas.
Energy Efficiency
Keeping doors closed when not in use helps reduce heating and cooling loss, lowering energy costs for your business.
Compliance with Safety Regulations
Many commercial properties are required to have self-closing doors to meet fire and building code regulations.
Reduced Wear and Tear
A properly installed door closer prevents doors from slamming shut, minimizing damage to the door, hinges, and frame.
Convenience and Accessibility
Ensures smooth and controlled door movement, making it easier for employees and customers to enter and exit the building.
The Door Closer Installation Process
A professional door closer installation ensures the device functions correctly and lasts for years. At Locksmith United, our technicians follow a structured process to guarantee a secure and efficient installation.
1. Selecting the Right Door Closer
Before starting the installation, our team assesses your door type, weight, and business needs to determine the most suitable door closer. We also consider compliance with fire safety and accessibility regulations.
2. Preparing the Door and Frame
Proper preparation is crucial to ensure the door closer fits securely. This step includes measuring and marking the mounting points based on the selected door closer type.
3. Installing the Mounting Bracket and Arm
For surface-mounted door closers, the mounting bracket is securely attached to the door or frame. The closer arm is then aligned and fastened to ensure smooth operation.
4. Adjusting Tension and Closing Speed
After installation, adjustments are made to the door closer to control the closing speed, latching force, and backcheck resistance. These settings help prevent slamming and ensure a controlled closing motion.
5. Testing and Final Inspection
Once the installation is complete, we conduct multiple tests to ensure the door closer functions correctly. Final adjustments are made as needed to guarantee optimal performance and compliance with safety standards.
Types of Door Closers Available
Over time, panic bars may experience wear and tear, causing them to become unreliable or non-functional. A malfunctioning panic bar can compromise the safety of employees and customers while also violating fire safety regulations. Regular maintenance and timely panic bar repair can help prevent major issues and ensure that your emergency exit doors remain fully operational.

- Concealed Door Closers – Installed within the door or frame, offering a discreet appearance while maintaining functionality. Often used in upscale commercial properties where aesthetics are a priority.
- Floor-Spring Door Closers – Positioned beneath the door in the floor, commonly used for heavy glass doors in commercial buildings and storefronts.
- Overhead Door Closers – Typically installed in high-traffic areas, providing strong closing force with adjustable speed settings. Ideal for offices, hotels, and retail stores.
- Hydraulic Door Closers – Designed for smooth and controlled door closing, with adjustable settings to regulate closing speed and resistance. Perfect for businesses needing precise control over door movement.
Common Issues with Door Closers and How to Prevent Them
Even with professional installation, door closers require regular maintenance to function properly. Below are some common issues businesses experience and how to prevent them:
Door Slams Shut Too Fast
Often caused by improper tension settings or worn-out hydraulic fluid. Regular maintenance and adjustments can resolve this issue.
Door Fails to Latch
Misalignment or insufficient closing force can prevent the door from fully latching. Routine inspections help identify and fix this problem before it affects security.
Oil Leaking from the Door Closer
A leaking closer indicates internal damage, which requires immediate attention to maintain proper function.
Warehouses and industrial facilities
Over time, screws and mounting brackets may become loose due to frequent use. Regular maintenance ensures everything stays securely in place.
Difficulty Opening the Door
If the door requires excessive force to open, it could mean that the closer is too tight or the unit needs replacement.
Preventive maintenance, including periodic inspections and minor adjustments, helps extend the life of your door closer and keeps it working efficiently.
