Professional door closer fitting in Teignmouth and Devon. We install overhead closers, concealed closers, and floor springs on all door types. Proper installation ensures smooth, controlled closing and fire door compliance.
Door closers look simple but need careful installation. The closer must match the door weight, fixings must be secure, and adjustment is critical. A badly fitted closer either slams the door shut or doesn't close it fully - both are problematic.
We've fitted closers on fire doors, heavy entrance doors, and lightweight internal doors. Each needs different positioning, fixing methods, and adjustment. Fire doors particularly need correct installation to maintain certification.

What to Expect
**1. Door & Frame Assessment** We check door weight, swing direction, and frame condition. We identify the best closer position and confirm fixings will hold in the door and frame material. **2. Closer Installation** We position the closer body and arm bracket, drill pilot holes, and fix both components securely. The arm is then attached and adjusted for the correct geometry. **3. Adjustment & Testing** We adjust closing speed, latching speed, and back-check (if available) to suit the door. We test multiple closing cycles from different positions to ensure consistency.

Good to Know
If you've bought a closer, check it's rated for your door weight before we visit - it saves time. Some doors are too light for standard closers (they get damaged). We carry adjustment tools but if you have a specific closer model, let us know so we can check compatibility. Fire door closers shouldn't be removed or disabled - there are usually better solutions if they're causing problems. Hold-open devices can be integrated if you need doors to stay open sometimes.
Frequently Asked Questions about Door closer fitting in Teignmouth
How much does door closer fitting cost?
Door closer fitting costs £60 for simple installations (under 1 hour) or £85 for more complex jobs requiring adjustment and alignment. This includes installation but the closer unit itself is separate.
Can you fit closers to fire doors?
Yes, we fit fire door closers to maintain compliance. Fire doors must self-close properly to function in an emergency. We ensure correct installation and adjustment to meet regulations.
Do you supply the door closer unit?
We can supply standard door closers or fit ones you've purchased. If you need guidance on which closer suits your door weight and usage, we're happy to advise before purchase.
Can you adjust an existing door closer?
Absolutely. Many door closers just need adjustment rather than replacement. If the door slams or doesn't close fully, we can often fix it by adjusting spring tension and closing speed.
