You can also filter this the way WordPress closes comments after 14 days, on
runtime:

add_filter( 'the_posts', 'nacin_close_comments_for_pages' );
add_filter( 'comments_open', 'nacin_close_comments_for_page', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'pings_open', 'nacin_close_comments_for_page', 10, 2 );

function nacin_close_comments_for_pages( $posts ) {
 if ( ! empty( $posts ) && is_page() ) {
 $posts[0]->comment_status = 'closed';
 $posts[0]->post_status = 'closed';
}
 return $posts;
}

function nacin_close_comments_for_page( $open, $post_id ) {
if ( ! $open )
 return $open;
$post = get_post( $post_id );
 if ( 'page' == $post->post_type )
 return false;
 return $open;
}
