What affects the price
Parts and time.
Before you call
Note whether the door is an exit route.
Good to know
A door closer should shut the door firmly and latch it every time; a panic bar should release under light pressure. When either fails, the door becomes a safety issue and a security issue at once. Closer speed changes with temperature, so a door that worked all summer may need adjustment in winter. Never remove or disable a panic bar on an exit route.
When this is not the right fix
Work on fire-rated doors must respect the rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my door slam?
The closer's speed is set too fast. It can usually be adjusted.
Can I remove the panic bar to stop it sticking?
No. Exit devices may be required for safety. We repair them instead.
How often should closers be checked?
Twice a year is a good rule, especially after large temperature changes.
