Door Closer Services
Door Closer Replacement
If your door closer is leaking dark oil or the internal hydraulic seals have blown, it cannot be repaired. We safely remove the broken unit and install a heavy-duty commercial replacement.
Precision Adjustment
Is the door slamming shut or failing to latch completely? We adjust the sweep speed, latch speed, and backcheck valves to ensure smooth, controlled, and quiet operation.
ADA Compliance Calibration
Commercial doors must meet strict ADA pull-force requirements (typically 5 lbs for interior doors). We calibrate your hardware to prevent code violations and ensure accessibility.
Concealed Door Closers
Commonly found on aluminum storefront glass doors, concealed closers are hidden inside the door frame (header). We have the specialized tools to safely extract and replace these hidden units.
Surface Mounted Closers
These are the traditional closers mounted on the door or frame. We supply and install Grade 1 heavy-duty surface closers designed for millions of cycles in high-traffic retail environments.
Wind Chains & Crash Stops
Phoenix monsoon winds can catch a door and rip the closer right off the frame. We install heavy-duty crash chains and floor stops to protect your hinges and glass from wind damage.

Why You Can’t Ignore a Broken Door Closer
A malfunctioning door closer isn’t just an annoyance; it is a serious liability for any Phoenix business. Here is why you should call Picky Locksmith immediately:
- Prevent Injury & Lawsuits: A heavy commercial door that slams uncontrollably can easily crush fingers or strike a customer, leading to severe liability.
- Protect Your Glass: The sheer force of a slamming aluminum storefront door will eventually shatter the expensive glass panes or rip the hinges out of the frame.
- Energy Efficiency: A door that fails to latch completely lets your expensive air conditioning escape into the Arizona heat, driving up utility bills.
- Security Risks: If the closer doesn’t pull the door fully shut, your electronic locks or deadlatches will not engage, leaving your business unlocked overnight.

Door Closer FAQs
Why is my door suddenly slamming shut?
Door closers rely on hydraulic fluid moving through small valves to control the speed of the door. If the internal seals blow, the fluid leaks out, and there is no longer any resistance. When this happens, gravity and spring tension take over, causing the door to slam violently.
My door closer is leaking black oil. Can you refill it?
No. Door closers are factory-sealed units. Once the hydraulic fluid begins leaking (you will usually see a dark oily stain running down the door or pooling on the floor), the internal seals are permanently destroyed. The entire closer unit must be replaced.
How much force should it take to open my commercial door?
According to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), interior commercial doors should require no more than 5 lbs of force to open. Exterior doors often have a higher maximum (around 8.5 lbs) to account for wind, but they still must be carefully calibrated to remain accessible.
How long does it take to replace a surface-mounted door closer?
For standard surface-mounted closers, our experienced technicians can typically remove the old unit, install the new one, and perfectly calibrate the sweep and latch speeds in about 45 minutes to an hour. Concealed closers (inside the frame) take slightly longer.
