Door Closers
Sometimes a door needs a little help closing properly. You don’t always notice it when it works, but you definitely feel it when it doesn’t. That’s how door closer should be, quietly doing its job in the background.

Time to Replace Your Door Closer? Call Matrix Locksmith
When do you know if your door closer has reached the end of its life? When it’s leaking oil or no longer adjustable, it’s likely time to bid goodbye. If the door feels wrong every time you open it, or if you’ve had to tighten it more than once just to keep it working, you should stop trying to fix it and get a new one instead.
Why You Need a Door Closer
Most of the time, door closers do their job without anyone noticing. And that’s the point, they’re meant to stay in the background. But when one fails, it becomes obvious fast. Out of nowhere the door won’t shut, slams too hard, or just hangs open longer than it should. These moments make you realize how important they actually are.
In buildings where people come and go all day, a door closer is more than just a convenience, it’s part of the safety setup. Especially on fire-rated doors, where closing the door automatically can slow down smoke or flame during an emergency. Without a working closer, that door might not close at all, and that puts everything beyond it at risk. It’s a small part that plays a big role.
Security isn’t just about locks and alarms, it’s also about making sure the door is always shut when it needs to be. A door left ajar, even by accident, can become a weak point. Door closers help remove the guesswork. Regardless if it’s a shop’s back entrance to a hallway in a shared building, the door shuts behind you every time, latches properly, and stays that way.
Without a closer, doors tend to take a beating. They get pulled, pushed, slammed, or caught in the wind. Over time, that wears out the hinges, misaligns the lock, and makes the whole entry feel off. Door closers fix that. They pull the door closed gently and consistently, which cuts down on noise, reduces hardware damage, and stops people from having to fight with the same door day after day.

What Can Go Wrong with a Door Closer?
We get a lot of calls for things like:
Doors slamming too hard
Doors that drift shut but never latch
Closers leaking hydraulic fluid
Hinges or lock misalignment due to strain
Arms that have become bent or completely detached
Screws that pull out of the door or frame
Units that make a grinding or hissing sound
Sometimes it’s not the closer that has issues but the way the door is hanging. If there is misalignment or warping hinges, even a perfect closer can’t do much. We always check the whole setup before assuming anything needs replacing.
Types of Door Closers We Install and Service
Different buildings call for different hardware. We work with all major types:
Surface-mounted closers – seen on the upper side of most commercial doors
Concealed frame closers – hidden for a cleaner look, common in offices
Floor-spring closers – used in glass or aluminum storefront doors
Overhead heavy-duty closers – made for fire-rated doors or heavy traffic
Back-check closers – with resistance to prevent hard swinging
Hold-open closers – to keep doors open at a certain angle when needed
If you’re unsure what type you have (or need), we can identify it quickly. Our team has handled everything from quiet condo hallway doors to double glass entryways on busy retail fronts.

New Installations, Replacements, and Upgrades of Door Closers
Some clients come to us with a broken closer. Others want to upgrade what’s there, maybe it’s too loud, doesn’t latch well, or just doesn’t match the traffic flow of the space anymore.
When we install or replace a door closer, we:
Inspect the door, frame, hinges, and latch
Choose the right closer based on size, weight, and use
Mount and adjust it for proper speed, closing force, and latching
Ensure everything lines up and the door shuts flush
Test the system multiple times under normal use
If your door is part of a larger entry upgrade or being outfitted with new locks, we often roll this in with our lock installation services.
Maintenance and Adjustments for Door Closers
A door closer doesn’t need constant attention, but it does need the occasional adjustment, especially in places where doors get used multiple times daily. When the door slams, drags, or does not fully close, there might be something off with the internal spring tension or hydraulic controls.
As part of our commercial locksmith services, we can service closers during regular maintenance visits. It’s a quick adjustment most of the time, and it prevents more costly damage to doors, locks, or frames later.
Places We Usually Install or Fix Door Closers
Medical clinics and labs with quiet, sealed environments
Apartments and condo buildings, especially fire-rated hallways
Retail store rear exits and employee doors
Office suites with shared entrances
Industrial buildings and warehouse access points
Restaurants and service entrances
Public facilities like libraries or schools
Religious centers and community buildings
Each space needs something a little different, and we match the closer to the way the door is used, not just what’s available on the shelf.
