The Sommer US1501 Swing Door Fitting is an original accessory engineered for SOMMER Synoris (SOMMER Direct Drive) operators to automate swing-type doors. Designed as a linkage and bracket kit, it connects the Synoris carriage to a door leaf so the opener can push and pull a side-hinged or similar swing door smoothly and reliably. It’s a practical upgrade or replacement part for residential or light commercial applications where a standard sectional overhead setup isn’t applicable—such as carriage-house doors or other swing-out configurations—while keeping the advantages of SOMMER’s quiet, direct-drive technology.
Labeled as part number US1501, this fitting is intended specifically for use with SOMMER Synoris/Direct Drive systems; verify compatibility with your operator model and rail before installation. Professional installation is recommended: mount the hardware per SOMMER’s instructions, then program travel limits and force settings on the Synoris opener to ensure proper operation. For safety and code compliance, use only on doors that are properly balanced and freely moving, and integrate appropriate entrapment protection (such as photo eyes) as required. This accessory focuses on swing-type applications and is not needed for standard sectional garage doors supported by the base opener.
