Door Closer Installation, Repair & Adjustments

Tesla Fire Systems repairs, adjusts and replaces door closers on fire-rated doors to correct fire safety deficiencies and Ontario Fire Code violations in commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
A fire door only protects a building when it closes and latches on its own. Doors that slam, drift, stay open or stop short of the latch are among the most common deficiencies found during fire inspections in apartment and commercial buildings.
Our technicians inspect each door, adjust or replace the closer, and confirm the door self-closes and positively latches from any open position.
Self-Closing Doors Are a Life Safety Requirement
Doors in fire separations, such as suite entry, corridor and stairwell doors, are required to be self-closing and self-latching. A closer that is broken, disconnected or poorly adjusted lets fire and smoke travel into exits and common areas.

Common Door Closer Deficiencies We Correct
Door closers wear out over time, especially in busy apartment hallways and stairwells. Oil leaks, loose fasteners and incorrect valve settings cause doors to stop closing properly, which can lead to Ontario Fire Code deficiencies during inspections.
- Door does not close fully or does not latch
- Door closes too fast and slams, or too slowly
- Closer is leaking oil or has lost its spring tension
- Closer arm is disconnected, bent or missing
- Door is wedged or held open with an unapproved device
- Door rubs on the frame or floor and binds before latching
Tesla Fire Systems handles door closer repairs and Ontario Fire Code deficiency corrections for single doors or entire buildings, and can schedule work to minimize disruption to residents and tenants.
