Floor closer repair and replacement in NYC

Floor closer problems we fix

• Leaking or failing floor checks: oil on the cover plate or the threshold, and a door that no longer controls its swing
• Doors that swing past or will not latch: lost backcheck, a broken dead stop, or a closer that will not hold an adjustment
• Doors that will not stay centered: worn centering, a loose spindle or a closer that has shifted in its case
• Cement case issues: cases that are rusted, flooded, cracked, loose or set out of level
• Spindle issues: stripped, worn or wrong-height spindles that let the door bounce or sag
• Top and bottom pivots: worn top pivots, bottom arms and pivot pins that let the door drop or rub

Thresholds and patch fittings

On frameless glass doors the floor closer drives the door through the bottom patch fitting or bottom rail, and the top pivot holds it at the head. When we replace a floor closer we check the bottom patch, the top patch and pivot, and the threshold or floor plate, because a worn fitting can wreck a new closer. See Herculite and all-glass doors for patch fittings and rails.

Matching what is already in the floor

• We identify the closer body, cement case and spindle before ordering, so the replacement fits the existing floor cut wherever possible
• Many modern closers use interchangeable spindles, which often lets a new closer fit an existing door and threshold height
• Where the old case cannot take a current closer, we explain the options in the estimate, including setting a new cement case
• We tell you when a part is in stock and when it has to be ordered, with no guessed lead times
