There are various different forms of door closers designed for usage on all types of doors for light use, for medium use or for heavy duty use. An overhead door closer would probably be fitted to an aluminium door and a under floor door closer would be fitted to again an aluminium door.

There is a kit / bracket available for fitting the under floor or over head closer to a wooden door.

Al door closers have a shelf life depending on the amount of usage that they get.  When fitting a door closer you consider the thickness and size of the intended door before choosing a light duty use closer or a medium use door closer or a heavy duty door closer.

Consider if the door will have little traffic through it for a light duty door closer or high traffic through it then a heavy duty closer should be fitted.

All door closers will come with fitting instructions should you decided to fit it yourself and the instructions will guide you through fitting the closer on a inward opening door, out ward opening door, be it left hand side or right hand side.

A door closer will operate on a door for a period of time and when this time has expired a door closer will either leak oil or stop closing the door correctly. You tend to notice the door slamming closed or just not closing at all. An attempt can be made by adjusting the adjustment screws on the closer however more times than not this will not work and the closer needs replacing.

On most commercial doors, aluminium tends to be fitted with an overhead or under floor closer. When the usage period has expired you will find that the door will swing out or in a little bit more than it should. Or on a windy day the door will blow the door open quit easily.

Oil leaking from the closer is also an indication that the closer needs replacing. Some movement in the door, maybe it falling forward or movement on the bottom hinge indicates the shoe or the arm is worn and needs replacing.

In order to complete the fitting of an over head closer or an under floor door closer there is a need to take the door down. This would generally take two men.
