- Direct Drive Technology: traveling motor on a fixed chain — only one moving part for extremely quiet operation
- Self-learning force curve that continually adjusts to Arizona's temperature swings
- 128-bit rolling-code radio at 922.5 MHz — HomeLink compatible

When It Isn't the Opener
Before you replace a Sommer opener, it's worth ruling out the door itself. These three account for most of the calls where the opener turned out to be working fine.
- A broken spring The most common reason an opener suddenly can't lift a door. The opener is fine — it's being asked to lift several hundred pounds on its own.
- A door that's too heavy to lift by hand If you can't lift it manually with the opener disconnected, the counterbalance is out — no opener will fix that.
- How to test the door's balance A two-minute check that tells you whether the problem is the opener or the door.
Features Explained
LED lighting
Bright, long-life LED lighting comes on when the door moves. Uses a fraction of the power of an incandescent bulb and lasts many times longer.
Soft start and soft stop
Ramps the door up to speed and gently slows it at each end of travel. Quieter, easier on the door hardware, and adds years of life to the springs.
HomeLink compatible
Pairs with the HomeLink buttons built into most modern vehicles, so you can open the door from your car's visor or dashboard without a separate remote.
Quiet DC motor
DC motors run noticeably quieter than the older AC-motor openers — noticeable if a bedroom shares a wall with the garage.

Sommer EVO-2110 Installation in Mesa, Gilbert & the Phoenix Area
Thinking about putting a Sommer EVO-2110 on your garage? Here's how Farnsworth handles it.
We source the opener for you
You don't need to track down the Sommer EVO-2110 yourself. We stock and source Sommer openers for our clients and bring the right one to your home.
Professional install, done right
Direct drive openers have very few moving parts, but the fixed chain rail still has to be mounted true. We set the Sommer EVO-2110 up for the quiet, smooth operation it's built for.
Tuned, tested, and explained
We balance the door, set the travel limits and force, test the safety reverse, program your remotes and the myQ app, and walk you through everything before we leave.
Old opener on its way out, or building new? See our opener installation & replacement service, book a visit, or call (602) 935-9766 — same-day service is our standard.
Signs It's Time to Replace Your Opener
A garage door opener is easy to ignore until it strands you. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a conversation:
- Your opener is 10–15 years old or older — motors and logic boards wear out, and parts get harder to find.
- It still uses a fixed code instead of rolling-code security, which leaves your garage vulnerable.
- It has no auto-reverse safety system, or the reverse is unreliable — a serious hazard with kids or pets.
- It's slow, loud, or shakes the whole garage every time it runs.
- It has no battery backup — so a Phoenix monsoon outage locks you out (or in).
- It can't connect to your phone, and you want to check or close the garage from anywhere.
The Sommer EVO-2110 brings smartphone control and modern security — and we can have it installed before you know it. Learn more about opener repair & replacement, or call (602) 935-9766 and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense for your door.
What We Watch For on the Sommer EVO-2110
- It runs on SOMloq2 (128-bit rolling code) security. We make sure any remotes, keypads, or accessories we add are matched to that protocol so nothing gets locked out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Farnsworth install the Sommer EVO-2110 in the Phoenix area?
Yes. We source, install, and service the Sommer EVO-2110 across Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Tempe, San Tan Valley, and the rest of the East Valley. You don't need to buy the opener separately — we stock and bring it to you.
Do you repair the Sommer EVO-2110, or only install new ones?
Both. Whether your Sommer EVO-2110 needs a repair, a tune-up, or a full replacement, Farnsworth handles it. We work on this model regularly and carry the common parts.
My Sommer EVO-2110 is acting up — can it be fixed, or should I replace it?
That depends on the issue and the age of the unit. We'll diagnose it honestly and tell you whether a repair or a replacement is the better value for you — we don't upsell.
How soon can you come out?
Same-day service is our standard, and we'll get to you as quickly as we can. Call or text (602) 935-9766 and we'll find the soonest time that works.
How long is the warranty on the Sommer EVO-2110 motor?
The Sommer EVO-2110 motor is covered by a Limited Lifetime manufacturer warranty (residential use). Parts are covered under a 6-year warranty. Farnsworth honors these warranties on every install we do, and we handle the manufacturer paperwork for you.
Should I install the Sommer EVO-2110 myself or hire a pro?
Hire a pro — and here's why. An opener is only as good as the door it's mounted to. Springs have to be sound and the door balanced before the opener ever goes on, or you're handing all the strain to a brand-new motor. The rail has to be perfectly square, or a quiet opener turns noisy fast. Travel limits and force settings have to be tuned so the safety reversal works the way UL 325 requires. Photo eyes have to be aligned. Programming rolling-code security and smart-home pairing trips up a lot of DIY attempts. We install Sommer openers every day across Mesa and the Phoenix area — we know which torsion setup pairs with your door weight, we catch a fatigued spring before it snaps, and we haul off the old unit. Our install includes the opener, tuning the door and opener as a system, and testing every safety feature before we leave. Call (602) 935-9766 and we'll get it done right the first time.
Do universal remotes work with the Sommer EVO-2110?
The Sommer EVO-2110 uses SOMloq2 (128-bit rolling code) rolling-code security. Any universal remote or keypad you buy needs to explicitly support SOMloq2 (128-bit rolling code) — check the packaging before you buy. If in doubt, bring the remote in and we'll check compatibility on the bench.
