Door Closer Adjustment in Singapore

When this may be needed

• The main door slams shut and makes the frame shake.
• The door closes so slowly that it never reaches the latch.
• The door stops a few centimetres from shutting, so the lock doesn't engage.
• The closer arm has come loose from the frame bracket.
• The door closes properly in the morning but not on hot afternoons.

What the team does

The technician checks the closer body, arm and brackets, then sets the closing speed and the latching speed with the valves on the closer. Most hydraulic closers have two speeds: a sweep from fully open to about 15 degrees, and a final latch stroke. Getting both right lets the door shut firmly without slamming. Loose brackets and arm screws are tightened, and the door is tested from several opening angles.

Included in this price

• Inspection of the closer body, arm and mounting brackets
• Speed and latch adjustment on the closer valves
• Tightening loose brackets and arm screws
• Testing the close from several angles

Limits & price factors

Replacing a closer that leaks oil or has a broken spring is a separate task, Door closer replacement, from $80 plus the closer. Removing a closer from an HDB fire door is not done, because HDB requires it to stay.

The price covers one standard surface-mounted closer. Concealed closers, floor springs and very heavy doors can take longer. If the door itself has dropped, it needs aligning first, because no closer setting will make a sagging door latch.
