What a Door Closer Does
A door closer is the hardware that pulls a door shut and into its latch automatically, instead of relying on someone to close it behind them. That matters more than it sounds — a door that doesn't fully latch defeats the lock entirely, no matter how good the hardware is.
Closers are especially useful on fire doors, gates, and any high-traffic entry point where a door gets left ajar. Beyond security, a properly adjusted closer also cuts down on drafts and helps with energy efficiency in the room it's protecting.
Installation and Repair for Every Door Type
We install and repair door closers on all residential door types, including surface-mounted units, concealed closers for a cleaner look, and ADA-compliant models where reduced closing force is needed.
The right closer depends on the door itself — its weight, how often it's used, and how it's mounted — so we recommend and supply a model sized correctly for your door rather than a one-size-fits-all part. If your existing closer is slamming, not latching, or leaking hydraulic fluid, we can usually adjust or replace it in a single visit.
