Door Closer Inspection – Shay Locksmith Montreal
At Shay Locksmith, we specialize in door closer inspections to ensure your doors operate smoothly, safely, and reliably. A properly functioning door closer prevents slamming, ensures security, and maintains the longevity of your door hardware.
How to Tell if Your Door Closer is Working
-
No oil leak = closer is good: If your door closer shows no visible oil leaks, it generally means the unit itself is functioning.
-
Door not closing properly? Even if the closer is fine, a door may not close fully due to other factors:
-
Door strength / resistance: Some doors are simply too heavy or tight for the closer to pull completely.
-
Obstructions: Check for salt, dirt, ice, or debris on the ground or under the door frame, especially in winter.
-
Door closer arm: Sometimes the closer arm is loose or off, preventing proper pull.
-
Door alignment / tight fit: If there’s no gap between the door and frame, the latch can get stuck just before closing.
Important Notes:
-
Forcing the closer to pull faster may close the door, but it can slam, causing wear on the locking mechanism and frame over time.
-
Proper inspection ensures your door closes naturally, protects your locks, and keeps your entrance safe.
