New door closers installation for a business in Willoughby Ohio
Our team at Advanced LNK recently completed a commercial door repair job in Willoughby Ohio. The work was done for a local business not far from the downtown Willoughby area near Erie Street and the popular Chagrin River park area.
The problem at this location was a worn out door closer. A door closer is the device mounted at the top of the door that controls how the door shuts. When a closer wears out, the door may slam, stay open, or not close all the way as it should. When that happens, the latch and lock may not line up correctly and the door may not be secure.
Our locksmith removed the old closer and installed a new commercial grade door closer. The new closer allows the door to close smooth and steady so the latch lines up with the strike plate every time. You can see this in the photos. This helps the lock secure properly once the door shuts.
For storefront aluminum doors like this one, brands like Norton, LCN, and Dorma are common and very reliable closers.
The additional photos show the old closer removed and the new one being installed and adjusted. After mounting the closer body and arm, we adjusted the speed and latch speed so the door shuts at the correct pace. This step is important because every door and frame is a little different.
One quick tip for business owners in Willoughby and the Cleveland area. If your door slams shut or does not close all the way, the door closer may be worn out or not adjusted. A small problem like that can lead to lock issues or security problems later.
