Door Closer Repair or Replacement ?

Door closer stores the energy used in the opening of the door in a compression or torsion spring and releases it to close the door. They allow for adjustment of the strength of the spring, making it easier or more difficult to push the door open. To limit the speed at which the door closes, most door closers use hydraulic (oil-filled) dampers, although spring mechanisms may also be used for damping.

If your door is slamming or closing too slow or leaking oil, your door closer needs to be replaced.

door closer types:

• Surface-mounted:

• Concealed: in frame

• Concealed in floor

• Concealed in door

Surface-mounted door closers come in four variations: slide-track arm, regular arm surface mounted, parallel arm surface mounted, and top jamb mounted. Overhead door closers are typically surface mounted, though most manufacturers offer concealed models too. Such closers mount inside a pocket in the door frame or are mounted in the floor directly under the pivot point and are completely concealed.

Another type of door closer, a surface mounted one, is attached to the door frame behind the door (where the hinges are) next to the middle hinge. The “arm” rests against the door, and a spring that is bent by the user opening the door closes the door by retracting to its proper shape.
