SOMMER operators feature innovative technology and design. With only one moving part, SOMMER direct drive operators are extremely quiet - perfect for garages with adjacent living spaces. The SOMMER evo+ is the most feature-rich opener on the market. One accessory opens the garage door a few inches if it senses too much moisture in the garage. Another mechanically blocks the motor for enhanced break-in protection. SOMMER openers come in different horsepower options ( to 1 horsepower) to meet your unique needs.
