How seasonal weather changes affect door performance?

For example, a sudden rise or drop in temperature can alter the viscosity of the oil inside a door closer. As a result, the door may begin to close too quickly, too slowly, or may no longer close completely.

Pay attention if:

• The door becomes harder to close
• The door rubs against the frame
• The lock latch no longer moves smoothly
• The seal does not make even contact with the door surface
• The door closer does not pull the door fully shut

When Should You Schedule Maintenance?

Since different materials naturally react to environmental conditions in different ways, minor changes do not necessarily indicate a defect. However, if you notice any of the issues listed above, it is advisable to have the door inspected.

During a maintenance visit, technicians can check fixings, adjustments, hardware, door closer operation, and the condition of the seals. If necessary, minor adjustments can be made before a small issue develops into a larger problem.

Regular inspections help ensure that doors continue to operate as intended, even in changing weather conditions.
