Professional Door Closer Installation for Businesses & Homes in Orlando & Central Florida

Whether you’re securing a busy commercial property or improving the functionality of your home’s entry door, a professionally installed door closer provides smooth, controlled operation while protecting your door, frame, hinges, and locking hardware. At All American Locksmith, we provide expert door closer installation services for both commercial and residential properties throughout Orlando and Central Florida, helping customers improve safety, security, and the longevity of their doors.

Every property has different requirements. That’s why our experienced locksmiths evaluate your door’s size, weight, traffic volume, mounting style, and intended use before recommending the most suitable door closer. From heavy-duty hydraulic closers for high-traffic commercial entrances to residential door closers designed for everyday convenience, we install quality hardware built for reliable, long-term performance.

Commercial Door Closer Installation

Commercial entrances experience hundreds of opening and closing cycles every day, making a properly installed door closer essential for security, accessibility, and smooth business operations. We install and replace heavy-duty hydraulic door closers for a wide range of commercial properties, including office buildings, retail stores, restaurants, medical facilities, schools, churches, warehouses, apartment complexes, and other high-traffic buildings.

Our technicians install door closers on aluminum storefront doors, hollow metal doors, steel entry doors, glass commercial doors, and fire-rated doors. Every installation includes precise adjustment of the closing speed, latching speed, backcheck, and spring tension to ensure dependable performance while minimizing wear on your commercial door system.

Residential Door Closer Installation

Homeowners can also benefit from professionally installed door closers that improve everyday convenience and help protect their doors from unnecessary wear. Whether you want to prevent a front door from slamming, improve safety for children and pets, or extend the life of your entry door hardware, we install reliable door closers for a variety of residential applications.

Our residential locksmith services are available for front entry doors, storm doors, patio doors, garage entry doors, and screen doors.

Signs You Need a New Commercial Door Closer

A properly functioning door closer is essential for keeping your business safe, secure, and accessible. Over time, commercial door closers wear out due to constant daily use, exposure to Florida’s heat and humidity, accidental impacts, or lack of maintenance. When a door closer begins to fail, it can affect the security of your property, increase wear on door hardware, and create safety concerns for employees and customers.

If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to replace your commercial door closer.

Your Door Slams Shut

One of the most common signs of a failing door closer is a door that closes too quickly or slams shut. This usually happens when the hydraulic mechanism can no longer control the closing speed. A slamming door can damage hinges, locks, door frames, glass panels, and even create a safety hazard for people entering or leaving your business.

The Door Won’t Close or Latch Properly

If your commercial entrance remains partially open or doesn’t latch securely, the door closer may have lost its adjustment or reached the end of its service life. A door that doesn’t fully close can compromise building security, reduce energy efficiency, and allow dust, insects, or outside air to enter your property.

Hydraulic Oil Is Leaking

Visible oil leaking from the closer body is a strong indication that the internal hydraulic seals have failed. Once the hydraulic fluid escapes, the closer can no longer regulate the door’s movement effectively. In most cases, replacing the unit is more reliable and cost-effective than attempting a repair.

The Door Opens or Closes Unevenly

A commercial door should open and close with smooth, consistent movement. If it becomes difficult to open, closes unevenly, or requires excessive force, the closer may no longer be properly balanced. Continued use can place unnecessary stress on the hinges, mounting hardware, and door frame.

Loose or Damaged Closer Arm

The closer arm experiences constant movement every time the door is used. Over time, mounting screws may loosen, the arm may bend from impact, or the connecting joints may wear out. These problems reduce the effectiveness of the door closer and can eventually lead to complete hardware failure if not addressed promptly.The closer arm experiences constant movement every time the door is used. Over time, mounting screws may loosen, the arm may bend from impact, or the connecting joints may wear out. These problems reduce the effectiveness of the door closer and can eventually lead to complete hardware failure if not addressed promptly.

Excessive Noise During Operation

Grinding, squeaking, popping, or banging noises while the door opens or closes often indicate worn internal components, loose mounting hardware, or improper adjustment. Ignoring these warning signs can result in more extensive damage to the entire door system.

Types of door closers we install

Every property has different security requirements, traffic levels, and door configurations. Installing the right type of door closer helps ensure reliable operation, extends the life of your door hardware, and provides a safe, controlled closing motion for employees and visitors. Our experienced technicians evaluate your entrance before recommending the most suitable solution for your building.

Surface-Mounted Door Closers

Surface-mounted door closers are the most commonly used option for commercial buildings because they are durable, cost-effective, and easy to maintain. They are ideal for offices, retail stores, schools, restaurants, medical facilities, and other high-traffic entrances where reliability is essential.

Concealed Door Closers

Concealed door closers are installed within the door or frame, providing a clean, modern appearance while delivering smooth and controlled operation. They are commonly used in executive offices, hotels, upscale retail stores, and commercial spaces where aesthetics are just as important as performance.

Parallel Arm Door Closers

Parallel arm door closers are mounted on the push side of the door, keeping the arm tucked neatly against the frame. This installation style offers improved protection against vandalism and accidental damage, making it popular for schools, public buildings, healthcare facilities, and commercial offices.

Top Jamb Mounted Door Closers

Top jamb mounted door closers are commonly installed on aluminum storefront doors and glass commercial entrances where the door frame design requires this mounting method. They provide dependable performance while maintaining proper door alignment and controlled closing speed.

Door Closer Brands We Install

At All American Locksmith, we install high-quality commercial door closers from some of the industry’s most trusted manufacturers. Choosing the right brand helps ensure smooth operation, long-lasting durability, and reliable performance, especially for businesses with high daily foot traffic.

Our commercial locksmith technicians work with leading commercial door closer brands, including:

  • LCN
  • Norton
  • Dormakaba
  • Yale
  • Falcon
  • SARGENT
  • Stanley
  • Tell Manufacturing

Rather than recommending a single brand for every project, we select the most suitable door closer based on your door’s size, weight, traffic volume, mounting style, and building requirements. This allows us to provide a solution that delivers dependable performance and long-term value.

Choosing the Right Commercial Door Closer

Not every commercial door requires the same type of door closer. Installing the wrong size or style can lead to poor performance, premature hardware wear, and unnecessary maintenance costs. Our experienced locksmiths carefully inspect your entrance before recommending the best option for your property.

Door Size and Weight

Heavier doors require stronger hydraulic door closers to maintain proper closing force and consistent operation. Whether you have a lightweight aluminum storefront door or a heavy steel security door, we install hardware designed to handle the door’s weight safely and efficiently.

Daily Traffic Volume

A busy retail store or office building experiences significantly more door cycles than a small commercial space. We recommend heavy-duty door closers for high-traffic entrances to improve durability, reduce maintenance, and ensure reliable operation throughout the day.

Interior vs. Exterior Doors

Exterior entrance doors are constantly exposed to Florida’s heat, humidity, rain, and changing weather conditions. These environmental factors can affect door closer performance over time. We install commercial-grade hydraulic door closers designed to withstand demanding outdoor conditions while maintaining smooth, controlled operation.

Mounting Configuration

Every commercial entrance is built differently. Depending on your door and frame, we install the appropriate mounting configuration, including regular arm, parallel arm, top jamb, or concealed door closers. Selecting the correct mounting style improves both performance and the lifespan of your commercial door system.

Our Commercial Door Closer Installation Process

We follow a proven installation process to ensure every commercial door closer operates safely, smoothly, and reliably from day one. Whether you’re replacing a worn-out closer or installing hardware on a new commercial entrance, our experienced locksmiths complete every job with attention to detail.

Step 1 – Inspect Your Door & Existing Hardware

Our technician begins by inspecting your commercial door, frame, hinges, and existing hardware. We evaluate the door’s size, weight, traffic volume, and mounting configuration to determine the most suitable door closer for your property.

Step 2 – Recommend the Right Door Closer

Based on our inspection, we’ll recommend a commercial door closer that matches your building’s requirements. We explain your options clearly and provide upfront pricing before any work begins.

Step 3 – Professional Installation

Once approved, we carefully install the new door closer using the manufacturer’s recommended mounting method. Proper installation helps maximize performance while reducing unnecessary wear on your door, hinges, and locking hardware.

Step 4 – Precision Adjustment & Testing

After installation, we fine-tune the sweep speed, latching speed, backcheck, and spring tension to ensure the door opens and closes smoothly. We then test the entire system multiple times to confirm reliable operation and proper alignment.

Step 5 – Final Inspection

Before leaving, we perform a final quality check, tighten all mounting hardware, and verify that your commercial entrance closes securely and operates as intended.

Repair or Replace Your Commercial Door Closer?

Not every malfunctioning door closer needs to be replaced. In some situations, a simple adjustment or minor repair may restore proper operation. However, if the hydraulic mechanism has failed or the closer has reached the end of its service life, replacement is usually the safer and more cost-effective solution.

Repair May Be the Better OptionReplacement Is Usually Recommended
Minor adjustment is neededHydraulic oil is leaking
Loose mounting screwsCloser body is cracked or damaged
Closing speed needs calibrationDoor closer no longer controls the door
Arm requires tighteningInternal spring has failed
Hardware is still in good conditionUnit has excessive wear after years of use

Our technicians will always inspect your existing hardware first and recommend the most practical solution. If your door closer can be repaired safely, we’ll let you know. If replacement provides better long-term value, we’ll explain why and help you choose the right commercial-grade hardware.
