Because door closers are made of metal, they can be maintained much like you would any other metal tools and fixtures. However, there are tricks to keep them from slowing down and rusting. To prevent any problems, try the following suggestions:
1. Keep the door closer oiled, but not too much! The oil will allow the metal parts to slide over each other without getting stuck. However, most door closers are already lubricated, so make sure you check the door closer surfaces before adding your own oil. Too much oil can cause it to drip or coagulate.
2. Do not force the door to close. Opening a door with a door closer will be a little harder, but not enough to hold you back. If you get impatient, close it when you're done. Closing them forcibly can damage the door closer. It puts too much stress on components designed to prevent impacts.

3. A door closer usually has a lifespan of seven years. If it's past the expiration date, it's safe to say you're going to have problems. All parts have unique life expectancies, but you shouldn't try to overuse the door closer as it could break and cause injury.
