Door Closer Repair & Installation in Ottawa
Door slamming, not latching, closing too fast, or refusing to close at all?
I repair and install hydraulic door closers by adjusting sweep and latch speed, correcting arm position, and securing the closer body and brackets.
The result is controlled, quiet closing and reliable latching — across Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans.
What this service includes: door closer adjustment (sweep, latch, and backcheck where applicable), tightening and re-securing loose mounting points, arm alignment, and replacement/installation of a closer when the existing unit is leaking or worn out.
When this service is needed: doors that slam, drift shut too slowly, stop short of latching, bounce at the end, or when a closer has started leaking oil. It’s also common after door/frame movement, repeated heavy use, or after a retrofit to meet building or rental requirements.
How the work is done: I confirm the door type and closer style, check hinge/door alignment first, then set the closer position and arm geometry, adjust speed valves in small increments, and test multiple cycles to confirm smooth closing and reliable latch engagement.
Pricing is flat-rate and confirmed before work begins.
• Fire-rated door assemblies or building-code compliance requirements may need a building manager or licensed trade involvement depending on the site.
• If the closer is leaking or internally failed, adjustment won’t hold — replacement is recommended and discussed before proceeding.
Registered and insured, with 15+ years of hands-on experience and a clear scope confirmed in advance.
FAQ — Door Closer Repair in Ottawa
Can you adjust a door closer that slams or won’t latch?
Yes. I adjust sweep and latch speed and correct the arm position so the door closes smoothly and latches reliably.
What if the door closer is leaking oil?
A leaking closer usually means internal failure. In that case, adjustment won’t last and replacement is the correct fix.
Do you install new door closers?
Yes. I can install a new hydraulic closer (surface-mounted) and set the closing speeds for controlled operation.
Is pricing flat-rate?
Yes. Pricing is flat-rate and confirmed before work begins, based on the closer type and the door condition.
Which areas do you serve?
