Most closer complaints in an industrial building are really sizing complaints wearing a disguise. Somebody put a mid-range unit on a heavy exterior man-door in a busy shipping aisle, it held for a season, and it has been drifting ever since. Adjusting it feels like it works for about three weeks.
So we size before we quote. Leaf width and weight, how far the door swings, how much wind gets at it across an open 400-corridor parking field, and — the number people leave out — how many times a day it actually cycles. A dock-office door in Concord can run more cycles in a month than an office door manages in years, and that is what decides whether a closer lasts one winter or ten.
The second thing we look at is what the hardware is bolted to. Closer arms do not usually fail; the thin hollow metal they were screwed into does, and a door shouldered open by somebody carrying two boxes pulls the fasteners straight out. Reinforcement, through-bolts or a move to a sounder anchor point turns a yearly repair into a one-time one. And where the body has lost fluid there is nothing to discuss: a commercial closer is sealed, it has no fill port, and a leaking one gets replaced rather than topped up.

Surface Door Closer Repair & Sizing — your questions
Our warehouse man-door tears its closer off every year. Why?
Because the closer is being asked to survive something it was never sized for: a heavy door, a forklift aisle, and people going through with both hands full. A unit chosen on door width alone will not last a year on that opening. We size for cycle count, fit reinforcement behind the mounting, and where the traffic justifies it move to a heavier body or a different arm geometry.
Is there any point repairing a closer, or should we just replace them?
It depends entirely on what failed. Arms, forearms, brackets, shoes and covers are parts, and replacing those on a sound body is quick and worth doing. The body itself is sealed — a crack, a stripped spindle or lost fluid means a new unit. We tell you which one you have before you spend anything.
Half our doors are on a plant-to-office separation. Does that change the closer?
Yes. On a rated separation the door has to close and latch on its own from any position, so the closer has to overcome the latch and any pressure difference between the two spaces — while not being set so hard that nobody can get through with a pallet jack. It also cannot be defeated with a wedge, which is the usual field workaround. That is a different specification from a door that merely has to swing shut.
