Overhead concealed closers are an aesthetically appealing way to close medium-traffic doors. Center-hung Rixson^® overhead concealed closers use the spindle as the pivot point, giving the most efficient way to control doors. Offset models allow the use of continuous, standard butts or intermediate and bottom pivots to hang doors.

Heavy and high-traffic doors should always use floor closers, but when doors are of average size and usage, the following closers are viable options to surface closers.
