Door slamming, dragging, or hanging open?

A door closer is the hydraulic arm at the top of a commercial door that controls how it swings shut. We repair, adjust, and replace failed or leaking closers in San Antonio — tuning the sweep, latch, and backcheck speeds, setting ADA-compliant opening force, and sizing the right closer to your door's width and weight. Express Local Service is a licensed Texas locksmith (B19775), and we give you the exact price before any work.

What we handle

Most closer calls come down to adjustment or replacement. We fine-tune the three valves that control the door — sweep speed (the main swing), latch speed (the final inches that seat the door), and backcheck (the cushion that stops the door slamming into a wall) — so the door closes fully without banging or dragging on the strike. When a closer leaks hydraulic fluid, has lost its tension, or won't hold a setting, the seals are gone and it needs replacement. We size the new unit to your door's width and weight (closers are rated by size), match the arm type — regular, parallel, or hold-open — and set ADA opening force so the door isn't too heavy to pull. We also service fire-door closers, where the self-closing function is code-required and must latch every time. Pairing it with a commercial hardware review, or sorting out a business lockout on the same door, is easy to handle in one visit.

What to tell us when you call
Snap a photo of the closer (the brand and a number like 1–6 are often stamped on the body) and note whether the door is interior or exterior, single or double, and roughly how heavy. Tell us the symptom — slamming, dragging, not latching, hanging open, or leaking oil — and whether it's a fire-rated door. That lets us bring the right-size closer and arm on the first trip.

My door slams hard every time — can that be fixed without replacing the closer?
Usually, yes. A door that slams almost always means the latch-speed or sweep-speed valve needs adjusting, or the backcheck has drifted. We can tune those valves so the door closes firmly but quietly. We only recommend replacement when the closer is leaking fluid or has lost its internal tension.
How do I know if my door closer needs replacing instead of adjusting?
If you see oil weeping from the body, the door no longer closes on its own, or the closer won't hold an adjustment, the internal seals have failed and it needs to be replaced. We can tell quickly on site and give you the exact price either way before doing the work.
Can you make a heavy commercial door easier to open for ADA?
Yes. We adjust the closer's spring tension to bring the opening force within ADA range so the door isn't too hard to pull, while still closing and latching properly. On exterior and fire doors there are limits to how light it can safely go, and we'll explain what's achievable for your specific door.
Do you work on fire-rated door closers?
Yes. Fire-door closers must self-close and latch every time, since that's what the rating depends on. We repair and replace them and set them to close and latch reliably. We're a licensed Texas locksmith (B19775); for fire-life-safety inspection sign-offs you may also need a certified fire-door inspector.
