When you cannot see a closer on a Whitby entrance, it is either concealed inside the door or the transom above it, or it is a floor spring buried in the slab under the pivot. Both turn up constantly on the aluminum and all-glass entrances at the front of plaza units, on the heritage storefronts along Brock Street where nobody wanted a box hanging over the door, and across office, institutional and medical lobbies through town.
Floor springs are what our winter punishes hardest. The cement case sits at grade, directly in the traffic path where meltwater, brine and grit get tracked in on every boot, and once the seal at the cover plate gives up the unit corrodes from the inside out. The symptoms are consistent: a door that no longer self-centres, a hold-open detent that has stopped catching, oil weeping around the plate, or a leaf that has visibly dropped because the bottom pivot inside the spring has worn away.
These jobs are more involved than a surface swap. A floor spring means lifting the door off, opening the case, and often re-shimming and re-aligning the whole leaf on its pivots afterwards. We do that work, replace concealed overhead closers in aluminum stiles and transoms, and where a case is genuinely beyond saving we say so plainly and price the alternatives rather than burying labour in a unit that will fail again next February.

Concealed & Floor-Spring Closers — your questions
Why did our floor spring fail after only a few winters?
Salt and meltwater. The case sits at grade in the traffic path, so brine and grit get carried straight onto it every time the door opens through a Durham February. Once the seal at the cover plate lets go, corrosion and contamination inside the case do the rest, and no amount of adjustment brings it back.
Can a concealed closer be replaced without a new door?
Usually yes. Overhead concealed units in an aluminum stile or transom can normally be swapped into the existing prep, and we template to match. If the door was prepped for a model that is no longer made, we confirm exactly what fits before anything comes off the frame.
Our glass entrance door has dropped and drags. Is that the closer?
Often it is the pivot inside the floor spring rather than the closing mechanism. A worn bottom pivot lets the leaf sag, which is why it drags on the threshold and stops latching. We check the bottom pivot, the top centre and the spring together instead of adjusting valves and hoping the door starts behaving.
