Control Access and Maintain Climate
A door that slams shut is a danger to fingers and glass. A door that stays open is a breach of security and a waste of expensive HVAC energy. The solution is a professional Door Closer Installation. Whether for a high-traffic retail storefront, an office corridor, or a condo stairwell, Installix supplies and installs commercial-grade hydraulic closers that ensure your doors close smoothly, latch securely, and meet all Fire Code requirements in Aurora.
Why You Need a Commercial Closer
Fire Code Compliance
Fire doors must be self-closing and positive-latching to prevent the spread of smoke and fire. We install ULC-rated closers mandatory for stairwells and unit entry doors.
Wind Control
Exterior doors in Aurora face high winds. A properly sized closer with a "Backcheck" valve prevents the wind from ripping the door open and damaging the hinges or the facade.
Security
Access control systems (fobs, keypads) are useless if the door doesn't fully close and latch behind the user. A closer ensures the door secures itself every time.
The Solution: Grade 1 Heavy Duty Hardware
We don't use hardware store residential closers for commercial applications. We install ANSI Grade 1 cast-aluminum or cast-iron closers designed for millions of cycles.
Why Choose Installix?
- Correct Sizing: We calculate the door weight and width to select the right spring size (1-6). Installing an undersized closer leads to immediate failure.
- Mounting Expertise: We know when to use Parallel Arm, Regular Arm, or Top Jamb mounting based on your frame geometry.
- Reinforcement: We use sex-bolts (through-bolts) on hollow metal doors to prevent the closer from ripping out of the thin steel.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Standard |
|---|---|
| Cycle Rating | Grade 1 (2 Million+ Cycles) for main entrances. |
| Valves | 3-Valve Control: Sweep Speed, Latch Speed, and Backcheck. |
| Finish | Aluminum (AL) or Dark Bronze (DU) to match most commercial frames. |
Our Process: Secure & Adjust
Step 1: Layout
We use templates to drill precise mounting holes. Incorrect geometry makes the door impossible to open.
Step 2: Installation
We mount the body and the arm. On aluminum doors, we tap the heavy wall backing. On wood doors, we use wood screws.
Step 3: Tuning
We adjust the valves so the door closes quickly but slows down right before latching (to prevent slamming).
Pricing Factors
- Closer Grade: LCN cast iron closers cost more than standard aluminum ones but last decades.
- Mounting Hardware: Drop plates are required for glass doors with narrow top rails, adding cost.
- Removal: Taking down rusted old hardware takes time.
