Sommer Offset Bracket — Mounts the Operator Rail Outside the Door Tracks

Moves the operator rail line so it sits outside the garage door tracks instead of between them. Sommer lists it for applications with limited clearance or access — the case where something is fixed directly above the door and the rail cannot run where it normally would.

When this is the part you need

Use it where the obstruction is narrow and directly over the opening: a beam, a duct run, a light, a header detail. Where the whole ceiling is committed, the side mount kit is the better answer, because it moves the rail to the side of the opening rather than offsetting it.

Where the clearance problem is depth rather than position, the low headroom door arm and the GDO connection coupler are what recover the inches. The low headroom guide sets out which combination suits which measurement.

Before you order

Sommer does not publish an offset dimension for this bracket. Send us the header-to-obstruction measurement and a photograph of what is in the way, and we will confirm which fitting solves it before you buy.
