Self-closing devices must function as intended and comply with the requirements under the Ontario Building Code. Conditions not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired.

Self-closing devices must be able to close the door, but shall not make the opening force excessive. Self-closing devices require periodic adjustment due to use and seasonal variations. If it can be demonstrated that these types of maintenance adjustments are not sufficient to make the device operate as intended, then the closer would be considered defective
