Door Closers: common questions
Surface-mounted or concealed door closer: which should I choose?
Surface-mounted closers are less expensive, easier to service and fit almost any door, which is why they are the default in commercial buildings. Concealed closers hide in the header or floor and suit storefronts and feature entrances where appearance matters, at a higher cost when they eventually need replacing.
Can I adjust my door closer myself?
Small adjustments, yes: an eighth to a quarter turn on the sweep or latch valve, then test the door. Never back a valve fully out, which blows the seal, and never adjust a closer on a fire door without confirming it still closes and latches from any open position.
Why does my door closer slam in summer and not latch in winter?
Hydraulic fluid thins in heat and thickens in cold, so a closer set for one season is wrong for the other. In Saskatchewan that means a twice-yearly adjustment on exterior doors. Closers that cannot hold a setting across seasons should be replaced with a heavier-duty unit.
What does a closer's back-check do?
Back-check slows the door in the last part of its opening swing so it cannot be thrown into the wall or the stop by wind or an impatient user. It protects the door, the frame and the closer arm, and it is the setting most often found backed off completely on damaged doors.
