Possible Causes
Limits programmed incorrectly, Door travel changed after hardware repair, Rail length mismatch after extension kit install
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Keep clear of the door while re‑programming limits.
- 1. Verify physical stops: Ensure nothing is blocking the door at the top or bottom of travel.
- 2. Re‑program limits: Use the Sommer programming buttons to reset and then set new open and close positions exactly where you want the door to stop.
- 3. Confirm extension kits: If an 8‑ft or 10‑ft extension kit was added, confirm the rail and travel are correctly configured per Sommer instructions.
- 4. Test several cycles: Run the door multiple times to confirm consistent stopping points.
