How to Adjust Door Closer

The door closer is that mechanical device that closes a door automatically, with the use of springs alongside a system of chambers that are filled with hydraulic fluids to control the motion and speed of the door. The door closer should work efficiently without problems, but if you have some issues with the device not working as it should, please contact us at GreenPro Locksmith and we will be there to help out.

Common Adjustment Problems in a Door Closer

There is a wide range of issues that can cause the door closer not to work efficiently as it should. There may be an issue with the Close swing, also known as the “Sweep speed”. This is the speed at which the door closes. There may also be an issue with the Latching speed which is the last few inches of the door closing to ensure that it latches properly.

Some models of door closer also allow the adjustment to the back-check. The Door closer back-check means the response of the door when it is fully opened. This is the amount of resistance imposed when opening the door past a certain point.

You should be able to adjust the delayed action of your door closer. When you open the door, the delayed action is the delayed time that has been set to hold the door for a little longer, usually, this time should be less than 30 seconds. Once the waiting time is over, the door proceeds to close based on the sweep speed that has already been set.  If you are having issues with closed swing, latching speed, and any other issue with the door closer, please be in touch with us at GreenPro Locksmith.
