When you cannot see a closer on a Richmond Hill 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 bottom pivot. Both are everywhere on the aluminum and all-glass entrances in Beaver Creek office condominiums, in the retail units along Highway 7 East and the Yonge corridor, and in office and institutional lobbies where nobody wanted a hydraulic box hanging over the door.
Floor springs are the ones our winter punishes hardest. The cement case sits at grade, directly in the traffic path where meltwater, brine and grit get tracked in every time the door opens in February, and once the seal at the cover plate lets go 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 working, oil weeping around the plate, or a leaf that has visibly dropped because the pivot inside the spring has worn.
This work is more involved than a surface swap. A floor spring means taking the door off, opening the case, and usually re-shimming and re-aligning the whole leaf on its pivots afterwards. We do that, we replace concealed overhead units in aluminum stiles and transoms, and where a floor-spring case is genuinely beyond saving we say so plainly and lay out the alternatives instead of burying labour in a unit that will fail again next winter.

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 are carried straight onto it every time the door opens in a York Region February. Once the seal at the cover plate gives up, corrosion and contamination inside the case do the rest.
Can a concealed closer be replaced without replacing the door?
Usually yes. Overhead concealed units in an aluminum stile or transom can normally be swapped in the existing prep, and we template to match. If the prep was cut for a model that is no longer made, we confirm what actually 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.
