Just an observation: the door looks hinge bound. There doesn’t appear to be any undercut between the door and frame on the hinge side.
Need a new door – the old door skin pulled away!
Door apparently did not have proper internal reinforcement for surface closer mounting. Re-attach the closer with sex bolts and have a welder repair the door. If a labeled fire door, repair must be done by a certified shop.

OOPS Worked for a while I bet …..A little to short on the screws…were are the ones that came with the closer
The installer didn’t use through bolts for that type of door. The hardware detailer probably put the wrong type of screws when ordering the product as well.
They are using spring hinges and door closer when it should be one or the other not both
Closer not installed according to manufacturer instructions. No thru bolts…
If I’m not mistaken the arm was put on upside down
Finally, someone got it right…
Door may not have closer reinforcement. Lite kit is high on door and may have cut through reinforcement welds.
One – sweep adjusted too fast.
Two – Sex bolts are missing.
Should have used sex bolts through the door and I also think the closer body is mounted a little close the the frame. but I am fairly new in the commercial aspect of our industry. just my thoughts.
It looks to me like an LCN 4010/4011 Right Hand Closer installed on a Left Hand (LH/RHR) Door and is the reason for the issue.
Thats an LCN 4041. to begin with the sweep speed is way off and the closer arm is not fasten tightly to the closer body and yes now it needs thru-bolting. those LCN closers are not handed, can be used on right or left.
Closer not installed as per the installation locations? Closer seems way too closer to the Hinge, resulting in forces that tear apart the door.
