What is the Somfy overhead garage door kit for?
Overhead garage doors have a different opening system than sectional doors.
When opening, the door panel moves upwards, which may require a special connection system to the motor installed on the ceiling.
The Somfy 2400458 adapter kit solves this need through a mechanism with oscillating arms, capable of converting the vertical movement of the door into a horizontal traction movement.
This way, it is possible to connect the garage door to a compatible Somfy motor, respecting the expected opening geometry.
Compatibility with Somfy garage door motors
The Somfy 2400458 kit is suitable for semi-protruding and protruding overhead garage doors that require a mechanical adapter for connection to the motor.
