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:

1. Door strength / resistance: Some doors are simply too heavy or tight for the closer to pull completely.

2. Obstructions: Check for salt, dirt, ice, or debris on the ground or under the door frame, especially in winter.

3. Door closer arm: Sometimes the closer arm is loose or off, preventing proper pull.

4. 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.
