Arrange service when the door does not latch, slams hard, will not remain controlled, or stays open after use. An entrance that fails to close and latch can create a safety or security concern.
- Oil around the closer body or arm connection points.
- The door slams, drags, stalls, or fails to close fully.
- The latch misses the strike or the lock no longer aligns.
- The arm is loose, disconnected, bent, or making unusual movement.
What to Describe During the Call
Identify the Washington DC address, entrance location, door material, closer position, and the behavior you observe. Explain whether the problem changes with wind or traffic, whether oil is visible, whether the arm is attached, and whether the door can still close and lock. Also provide site-access and business-hour restrictions.
