3. Floor Door Closer
Here, the door closer was leaking. In addition, abrasive contact between the door and the floor caused cosmetic damage to both and made the door difficult to open.
To fix the problem, we removed the door and the old leaking closer and installed a new door closer.
In addition, we realigned the door to ensure proper movement and minimize any more scrapes on the floor.

Door closer adjustment requires knowledge and the ability to climb up and down a ladder several times. Most of the adjustments are implemented by opening and closing hydraulic valves. When it comes to turning the screws that operate these valves, a little goes a long way. A turn of five degrees can significantly increase or decrease closing speed.
