Service overview
door closer installation and repair can be appropriate when the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening. Check the closer model against the ordinary door, mounting support and manufacturer limits before fitting or adjustment.
Signs: the latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally or the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening. Causes: loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement or local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect.
Adjustment options vary by model. A suitable closer can be checked within its permitted range, but stiffness may also relate to hinges, alignment or seals. The enquiry should describe the movement rather than assume turning an adjustment screw is the complete repair.
Show the arm’s path and surrounding trim or walls. The door must have the clearances required by the selected arrangement. Moving the arm to avoid an obstruction without following the maker’s instructions can create a different problem rather than a suitable fit.
Install a suitable ordinary supplied surface closer, make permitted adjustments or replace an unsuitable leaking unit within the agreed scope. Limits: Ordinary non-rated surface-mounted mechanical units only. No fire, smoke or egress certification, powered systems, structural reinforcement or specialist mechanisms.
Common situations

The model determines suitable mounting and adjustment. A photograph of the cover alone may not identify it, so include accessible labels or instructions. This service excludes fire-rated, smoke-control and certified egress assemblies rather than treating them as ordinary household closer work.
The supplied template establishes bracket and body positions for the permitted arrangement. Existing holes may not match a new model. Sound ordinary fixing support is required; installation does not include structural reinforcement or modification of a rated opening.
