Sommer Side Mount Kit with Low Profile Header Bracket — for evo+ and pro+ Openers
Description
This kit mounts a Sommer evo+ or pro+ rail along the side of the garage instead of down the middle of the ceiling, and adds the low profile header bracket.
It keeps the ceiling free for shelving or a car lift. If you already have the bracket, the side mount kit on its own is the simpler order.
