Sommer Installation

Sommer Opener Installation & Replacement

Putting in a new Sommer opener — or replacing one that's finally given out? Here's how Farnsworth handles it.

1
We source the right Sommer for you

You don't track down the unit yourself. We stock and source Sommer openers and bring the right one for your door.

2
Professional install, done to spec

Rail squared, drive tensioned, travel limits and force dialed in, safety reverse tested, remotes and Sommer smart controls programmed.

3
We replace your old opener cleanly

Old unit hauled away, new Sommer unit mounted and tuned, and we walk you through everything before we leave.

Replacing an Old or Broken Sommer Opener

If your Sommer opener has finally given out — or it's old enough that repairs no longer make sense — we handle the full replacement. We pull the old unit, install a current Sommer model matched to your door, and set it to spec so it runs right from day one.

Installing Chain, Belt & Wall-Mount Sommer Openers

We install every Sommer drive type — quiet belt drives for attached garages, durable chain drives for detached ones, and wall-mount units that clear the ceiling. Tell us about your garage and we'll install the Sommer opener that fits it best.

Building new, or upgrading from an older unit? Book a visit or call (602) 935-9766.

Common Issues

Common Sommer Opener Problems We Fix

If your Sommer opener is doing one of these, we see it all the time — and we fix every one across the Phoenix area.

!

Sommer opener won't open or close

Usually a logic board, capacitor, motor, or travel module — or a tripped safety sensor.

!

Sommer remote or wall button not working

Reprogramming, a worn receiver, wiring, or a dead remote battery. We carry the right Sommer remotes.

!

Sommer opener is loud, grinding, or shaking

Worn drive components or loose hardware. We track down the source instead of masking it.

!

Sommer door reverses before it closes

Almost always the photo eyes, the travel limits, or the force settings.

!

Sommer won't connect to Sommer smart controls or Wi-Fi

Could be the logic board, your home network, or firmware — we get it back online.

!

Sommer battery backup won't hold a charge

Backup batteries wear out every few years — faster in Arizona heat. We test and replace them.

The Sommer Lineup

Understanding the Sommer Lineup

German direct-drive openers with a single moving part — the quietest residential openers on the market. Here's how the lineup breaks down — so when you tell us what you've got, we already know it.

evo+ Direct Drive

The motor itself glides along a fixed chain — near-silent, with very little to wear out.

evo+ with Battery Backup

The same near-silent direct drive that keeps running through a power outage.

Farnsworth Pro Notes

What We Watch For on Sommer Openers

  • Sommer's direct-drive design has so few moving parts that failures are rare — when one needs service, it's usually the controls or the carriage, not the drive.
  • These are a premium, quiet-first choice — ideal for luxury homes where the garage sits under living space.
  • The lifetime motor warranty is real, but it only protects you if the unit was installed correctly — which is exactly where we come in.
Maintenance

Sommer Maintenance & Tune-Ups

A Sommer opener that's looked after lasts years longer — and in our climate, an annual check is cheap insurance against a no-open morning.

  • Opener tune-up & performance check. We verify travel limits, force settings, and the safety reverse, and catch the small stuff before it strands you.
  • Drive lubrication & hardware check. Chain and screw drives especially need it — a dry drive is a loud, hard-working drive.
  • Battery backup testing. Backup batteries fade every few years, faster in Arizona heat. We test yours and tell you straight when it's time.
  • Preventive maintenance. Ongoing inspections keep your Sommer running and your warranty intact.
Smart Setup

Sommer Smart Opener & Sommer smart controls Setup

Want your Sommer opener working with your phone? We handle the smart side, not just the hardware.

Sommer smart controls Setup & Troubleshooting

We set up the Sommer smart controls app, sync your devices, and troubleshoot connection issues so it just works.

Wi-Fi & Home Integration

If your Sommer opener won't stay connected, we sort out the Wi-Fi and tie it into your smart home.

Voice Control

Where the model supports it, we'll get your opener working hands-free with Alexa or Google Assistant.

FAQ

Sommer Opener — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repair Sommer garage door openers in the Phoenix area?

Yes. Farnsworth repairs every Sommer opener — current models, older models, and discontinued ones — across Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Tempe, San Tan Valley, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Fountain Hills, Maricopa, Guadalupe, and the rest of the East Valley. We carry the common Sommer parts on the truck.

Should I repair or replace my Sommer opener?

It depends on the age and the issue. If your Sommer opener is 10–15+ years old, lacks rolling-code security, or has no working auto-reverse, replacement is usually the better value. We'll diagnose it honestly and tell you which way the value points — we don't upsell.

What Sommer opener models do you install and service?

All of them. We service the full Sommer lineup — every drive type and series — and you'll find each model we carry listed on this page with its own detail page.

Can you install a Sommer opener I bought myself?

Absolutely. If you've already got a Sommer opener, we're glad to install it for you — just call (602) 935-9766 or book an appointment, and we'll get it mounted, tuned to spec, and safety-tested. We can also source and supply the Sommer opener as part of the job if you'd rather we handle that end too.

How soon can you come out for Sommer opener service?

Same-day service is our standard. Call or text (602) 935-9766 and we'll find the soonest time that works for you.

My Sommer opener won't connect to Sommer smart controls — can you fix that?

Yes. We set up and troubleshoot Sommer smart controls, sort out Wi-Fi connectivity, and get your Sommer opener talking to your phone and smart home.

How often should a Sommer opener be serviced?

About once a year. An annual tune-up catches loose hardware, drifting travel limits, a tired backup battery, and worn drive parts before they become a no-open morning — and Arizona heat makes that yearly check worth it.

Need a Sommer Opener Installed or Repaired?

We work on every Sommer model — current and discontinued. Same-day service is our standard.
