Why We Carry SOMMER
SOMMER focuses on engineering excellence and long-term reliability. Their openers are designed with fewer moving parts, reducing wear and extending the life of the system.
We trust SOMMER because they offer:
- Innovative Direct‑drive technology — the motor glides along the rail, eliminating moving chains, belts, or screws, and is directly connected to the door for instant feedback and smoothness
- Ultra‑quiet operation — ideal for homes with living space above or near the garage
- Exceptional durability — fewer moving parts mean less maintenance and longer lifespan
- Advanced safety features — secure rolling‑code technology and cutting-edge obstruction detection
- Smooth, vibration‑free performance — perfect for heavy or oversized doors
- German engineering and manufacturing — precision-built for reliability, each operator is handled with care and tested before shipping
- Family – SOMMER is a family-owned company just like Higgins Overhead Door and they proudly stand behind their products
SOMMER operators are engineered for homeowners who only want the best in performance and longevity.
