The Hidden Danger of Malfunctioning Door Closers

Have you noticed your commercial door failing to latch properly after someone walks through? You press the badge reader, the lock releases, but when the door swings shut, it fails to positively latch? This is a common, frustrating issue that puts your entire facility at risk.

When an electrified door does not close completely against its locking mechanism, the system cannot re-secure itself. It leaves your property vulnerable to unauthorized entry. Many business owners assume the problem lies within the complex electronic lock itself, but the culprit can be another part of the door assembly. A failing concealed overhead door closer that could not pull the door into a secure position was the problem with this door we recently repaired.

Security is a Complete System

To properly protect your business, a door opening must be evaluated as a complete system. True security relies on every single component working in perfect harmony. When troubleshooting a door, a professional locksmith must inspect:

• The hinges and pivots

• The mechanical hardware

• The door closer

• The electronic access components

If one or more of these elements is malfunctioning, the integrity of the entire opening is compromised.
