Expert Commercial Door Closer Installation in Milwaukee
In addition to our expert door installation and repair services, Affordable Locksmith provides door closer installation and repair for businesses in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. We install and service hardware that controls door movement, supports safety, and protects entries from wear. Our team works by appointment, arriving with the tools and parts needed to complete the job on-site.
We service doors made of wood, aluminum, and steel and help clients select closers based on usage, door type, and building layout. Whether you’re updating one door or managing multiple entries, we install solutions that support function and compliance.
Types of Door Closers We Install
Cast aluminum commercial door closers like this model will ensure your doors will close slowly and quietly. The spring mechanism is adjustable, so you can set it to close at a rate that works best for your needs.
We install mechanical door closers that help control swing, closing speed, and latch timing. Proper closer selection supports door security, code compliance, and overall wear resistance. We support mounting styles including:
- Top jamb and parallel arm setups for storefronts and fire-rated steel doors
- Regular arm closers for office interiors and lower-traffic commercial entries
Each closer is selected based on door weight, size, and traffic level. We offer light-, medium-, and heavy-duty options depending on your entry’s demands.
Door Closer Repair and Maintenance
If your door slams, closes too slowly, or fails to latch, we inspect the closer and surrounding hardware. We check for:
- Spring tension issues
- Loose or worn mounting plates
- Leaks from the hydraulic cylinder
If the adjustment restores normal function, we can complete the repair during the visit. However, we recommend a complete replacement if the closer leaks or no longer responds to adjustments.
We also provide scheduled maintenance for high-traffic entries. During these visits, we inspect moving parts, check for internal wear, and confirm that doors close and latch securely.
Fire Code and ADA Support
Door closers play a key role in fire safety and accessibility compliance. We install closers that meet ADA guidelines and support the proper closing function on fire-rated doors. Each unit is adjusted for hold-open timing, opening force, and secure latching, based on Milwaukee-area building requirements.
Integrated Hardware Support
If your door uses a panic bar, deadbolt, or electric strike, we install closers that align with those systems. We check compatibility for doors using access control devices or automatic operators to maintain coordinated movement and complete closure.
Multi-Door Installations
Property managers and business owners with multiple commercial doors can rely on us for coordinated hardware installation. We install matching closers across suites, common areas, and service rooms, supporting consistent operation and visual uniformity across your property.
Repair or Replace: What’s Needed?
Not all door closer problems require replacement. If the unit is noisy, slamming, or out of alignment, we may be able to adjust it. We recommend replacement if it leaks oil, has a warped body, or shows signs of internal failure.
We evaluate the hardware on-site and explain your options. Our goal is to restore reliable door control with minimal disruption.

FAQs About Door Closer Installation and Repair
Do you install door closers on fire-rated commercial doors?
Yes. We install commercial door closers designed for use on fire-rated doors. Each closer is adjusted to meet code requirements for delayed action and latching speed, helping maintain proper egress and fire containment.
Can you repair a door closer that slams the door shut?
Yes. We inspect the spring tension, closing control, and hydraulic fluid condition. We adjust the latching speed or closing cycle if the unit is still intact. If it’s leaking or damaged, we recommend a new closer.
What types of mounting styles do you offer for door closers?
We install regular arm, top jamb, and parallel arm closers. These mounting options fit a wide range of commercial door types and allow us to meet specific space and access control needs at each building.
Should I replace a closer that leaks hydraulic fluid?
Yes. Leaking hydraulic fluid is a sign the internal seal or spring is failing. Closers in this condition lose their adjustable closing speed and no longer control the door safely.
Do you install closers on light-duty interior office doors?
Yes. We install light-duty commercial and medium-duty closers for interior doors in offices, shared suites, and public restrooms. These closers maintain controlled closing without slamming or wear on the frame.
Are your door closers compliant with ADA requirements?
Yes. We install closers with delayed action and adjustable opening force to help buildings meet ADA accessibility standards. This includes proper hold-open time and closing force for easy entry.
How long does it take to install a commercial door closer?
Most door closer installations take under an hour per door. Timing depends on the mounting style, existing door hardware, and whether the door requires modification for new holes or control arms.
Can you match my current door hardware finish?
Yes. We offer closers in dark bronze, aluminum, and other standard finishes to suit your existing door accessories and maintain visual consistency across your entries.
Do you offer preventative maintenance for closers?
Yes. We provide door closer maintenance services to extend the life of your hardware. Regular visits include checking the spring, adjusting latching speed, and inspecting for leaks or loose mounts.
