Door Closers Maintenance & Replacement
Case Study: Goldilocks Montreal – Door Closer Maintenance & Replacement for Megastore
Project Overview
A large retail megastore required a mid-range door closer solution for ongoing maintenance and replacement across its premises. Goldilocks Montreal was mandated to provide durable, cost-effective door control systems suited to varying traffic levels. The team selected Falcon doorstoppers for low-traffic areas and LCN door closers for high-traffic zones, ensuring long-term functionality and smooth operation for both customers and employees.
Challenges with the Existing System
- Wear and Tear: Heavy foot traffic resulted in frequent door mechanism failures.
- Inconsistent Performance: Some areas required stronger closers to handle repeated use, while others needed lighter solutions for convenience.
- Operational Disruptions: Malfunctioning doors affected store accessibility and customer experience.
- Maintenance Costs: The previous system led to repeated repairs, increasing long-term expenses.
Added Value: Before vs. After
| Feature | Old System | Falcon & LCN Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Frequent breakdowns | Reliable, long-lasting components tailored to traffic levels |
| Traffic Suitability | Same closer type for all areas | Falcon for low traffic, LCN for high traffic |
| Smooth Operation | Stiff, inconsistent door movement | Controlled, fluid door closing |
| Maintenance Costs | High repair frequency | Reduced long-term upkeep with optimized solutions |
| User Experience | Difficult entry/exits for shoppers | Seamless access without disruption |
Steps for Implementation
- Site Assessment & Traffic Analysis – Goldilocks Montreal reviewed store layout and foot traffic patterns to determine appropriate door control solutions.
- Product Selection – Falcon doorstoppers were designated for low-traffic zones, while LCN closers were installed in high-traffic areas such as entryways and main corridors.
- Removal of Old Components – Worn-out door closers were dismantled and replaced with improved models.
- Precise Installation – Falcon and LCN systems were professionally mounted to maximize efficiency and longevity.
- Adjustment & Testing – Door closers were fine-tuned for optimal resistance, ensuring smooth operation under different conditions.
- Staff Training & Guidelines – Store employees received instructions on proper maintenance practices to extend system lifespan.
- Follow-Up Maintenance Support – Goldilocks Montreal provided ongoing consultation for upkeep and future replacements.
Conclusion
Through this strategic upgrade, the megastore achieved enhanced door functionality, smoother accessibility, and long-term maintenance cost reductions. Goldilocks Montreal successfully optimized entry systems by implementing Falcon doorstoppers for lower-traffic zones and LCN door closers for busier areas, reinforcing both efficiency and durability.
