Door Closer Repair and Replacement
A door closer that does not close the door is more than an annoyance. On a rated opening it is a code violation, on an exterior door it is your air conditioning going outside, and on a storefront it is a security problem. 1NSG Corp repairs and replaces commercial door closers across South Florida.
What goes wrong
Leaking closers that lose fluid and stop controlling the door, doors that slam, doors that stop short and never latch, closers pulling out of a hollow metal door because there is no backing, arms bent from being propped open, and delayed action that no longer delays.
Repair or replace
A leaking closer is done. There is no repair for a spent hydraulic body and rebuilding one costs more than a new unit. Bent arms, loose fasteners, and adjustment problems are repairs. We will tell you which one you have.
Adjusted properly
Closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck all get set so the door closes and latches without slamming. On an accessible opening the opening force has to stay within limits, which is a real adjustment, not a guess.
Send a photo of the closer and the door and we will tell you what it needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a leaking closer repairable?
No. A spent hydraulic body is done, and rebuilding one costs more than a new unit. Bent arms, loose fasteners, and adjustment problems are repairs. We tell you which one you actually have.
Our closer keeps pulling out of the door. Why?
Usually because there is no backing in the door to hold it. Remounting to the same empty spot fails again. The fix is proper reinforcement, not longer screws.
Does closer adjustment affect ADA compliance?
Yes. On an accessible opening the opening force has to stay within limits, and closing and latching speed have to be set properly. That is a real adjustment, not a guess.
