Door Closer Installation and Repair
ordinary non-rated surface-mounted mechanical door closers
Service overview
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.
Keep the instructions available for fitting and handover. Opening range, mounting method and adjustment limits remain product-specific. No compliance certification, fire-door inspection or guarantee of access performance is included in an ordinary mechanical closer installation or repair.
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.
Install a suitable ordinary supplied surface closer, make permitted adjustments or replace an unsuitable leaking unit within the agreed scope. 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
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.
Visible leakage or physical damage may make replacement more suitable than adjustment. Show the condition and model before buying parts. The ordinary service does not rebuild sealed hydraulic mechanisms or promise that a damaged closer can be restored by changing settings.
A closer needs to suit the door it controls. Provide leaf dimensions and product weight where available. An oversized or undersized unit should not be compensated for with extreme adjustment, and unsupported heavy doors need a different handling assessment.
Oakleigh South property context
An occupied Oakleigh South property may need preparation before door closer installation and repair can begin. Send the closer label, arm arrangement, door dimensions and mounting area, including nearby obstructions. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A room-based list makes mixed jobs easier to understand. Note the current problem, the intended result and whether furniture, stored items or occupants affect access to the wall, door or fitting.

Planning the work

FAQ
Check the closer model against the ordinary door, mounting support and manufacturer limits before fitting or adjustment.

A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.

Ordinary non-rated surface-mounted mechanical units only. No fire, smoke or egress certification, powered systems, structural reinforcement or specialist mechanisms.
