LiftMaster & Sommer Openers

The part you touch every single day — so it should be the last thing you ever think about. Kooler runs two lines that earn that: the German-built Sommer evo+ (the Kooler 2060) and a connected smart line — the Kooler Sentinel, Sentinel 360, and Prodigy 3.

The opener is the one part of your garage door you touch every single day. Push the button on the way out, push it again coming home. So it should be the last thing in the house you ever have to think about — quiet, reliable, and dead simple to use.

Kooler runs two lines that earn that. The German-built Sommer evo+ — we call it the Kooler 2060 — and a connected line we call the Kooler Sentinel, Sentinel 360, and Prodigy 3 (Raynor private-labels LiftMaster underneath, with the myQ app). Both outlast the cheap big-box openers by years. Both pair to your phone. Your Kraftsman sizes the right one to your door and walks you through it before he leaves.

Since 2015. Local and family owned.

The Kooler 2060's secret: one moving part. The motor itself glides a fixed chain — almost nothing to wear out, almost nothing to hear.
The Kooler 2060 · German-built Sommer

A German motor with one moving part. The rest is up to you.

We call it the Kooler 2060, but its real name is the Sommer 2060 evo+ — and Sommer is one of Europe's leading opener makers, serving more than 90 countries. Every unit sold here is engineered and built in Germany to a standard the big-box openers don't even chase.

The magic is in how it moves. Instead of a chain slapping a rail, the motor itself glides along a fixed chain — one moving part, the Direct Drive. That's why it runs so quiet, and why it carries a lifetime warranty on the motor with 6 years on parts.

Here's the part homeowners love: it can come as a bare operator. A great German motor and a button — no frills, nothing you don't need. Or you make it as smart as you want, stacking on phone control, alerts, battery backup, and auto-locking security one piece at a time.

You decide how geeky it gets. We size the right one to your door, set it, and walk you through it before we leave. That's the whole idea — a door opener you stop thinking about.

From bare to geeky · build your own

Add only the tech you actually want.

SOMweb app

Open, close, and watch your garage from your phone — from anywhere. Get a ping the second the door opens, closes, or gets left up.

Battery backup

Power's out? The door still works. A storm never leaves you parked in or parked out.

Auto-locking magnet

Mechanically bolts the motor in place and holds against 660 lbs of pull — a garage that doesn't get jimmied open.

Senso humidity sensor

Cracks the door just enough to air the garage out when it gets humid — keeps the mold and that musty smell away.

Wireless keypad

Punch a code and you're in — no phone, no clicker. Perfect when the garage is the door you actually use.

Extra LED light

More light that comes on with the door. No more fumbling for a switch in a dark garage.

Three smart operators — Kooler-named, pick by the door.

The Kooler Sentinel 360 — powered by myQ, with a built-in 360 camera right in the powerhead.

If you want the connected garage — open it from your phone, watch it from anywhere, lock everyone else out — this is your line. We call them the Kooler Sentinel, Sentinel 360, and Prodigy 3, because we're the ones putting them in and standing behind them.

Underneath, they run the myQ app and LiftMaster's Security+ platform — Raynor private-labels LiftMaster, the biggest name in openers. We install the quiet belt drive on the Sentinels and the space-saving wall-mount on the Prodigy 3. Battery backup on all three, sized to your door, paired to your phone before we leave.

New · the upgrade we're carrying

What Security+ 3.0 actually changes.

Two-way Bluetooth

The opener talks back. Press the remote and it confirms the signal before the door ever moves — no more wondering if it heard you.

Locks out knock-offs

New encryption only pairs with genuine LiftMaster remotes and keypads, so a counterfeit clicker can't pop your door open.

Quieter DC motor

The whole line moved to a DC motor — smoother, quieter starts and stops, and easier on the power bill.

Reach from the road

Remote range jumps to as far as 1,300 feet, so the door's already moving before you turn into the driveway.

  • myQ app — open, close & watch the door from anywhere
  • Built-in camera on the premium belt-drive — see the garage, not just its status
  • Integrated battery backup — runs right through a power outage

How we do it

The Kooler standard, broken down.

01

German muscle, one moving part.

The Kooler 2060 runs Direct Drive — the motor itself rides a fixed chain, so there's no trolley, no belt to stretch, no chain slapping the rail. One moving part means almost nothing to wear out and almost nothing to hear. Lifetime warranty on the motor. Made in Germany.

02

Bare, or as geeky as you want.

It can come as a no-frills operator — a great German motor and a button, nothing more. Or you stack the tech: phone control, real-time alerts, battery backup, auto-locking security, even a sensor that airs out a humid garage. You decide how smart it gets, and you never pay for tech you didn't ask for.

03

Locked tight, paired to your phone.

128-bit rolling-code security sends a fresh code every single click, and the opener mechanically locks itself against a break-in. We pair the app before we leave, so you get a ping the moment the door opens, closes, or gets left up — and you can shut it from anywhere.

Common questions

Things homeowners ask about this service.

What's the 'Kooler 2060'?

+
It's the Sommer 2060 evo+ — a German-engineered opener we install so often we just call it the Kooler 2060. Sommer is one of Europe's leading opener makers, and every unit sold here is built in Germany. It runs Direct Drive: the motor glides along a fixed chain as the only moving part, which is why it's so quiet and carries a lifetime motor warranty.

Are these openers quiet enough for a bedroom over the garage?

+
Yes. The Kooler 2060 (Sommer) runs a fixed chain — the motor glides along it instead of a chain slapping the rail — so it's one of the quietest openers made. The Kooler Sentinel and Sentinel 360 run a smooth belt drive on a quiet DC motor. Either line, if your bedroom sits over the garage, you stop hearing it.

Can I start basic and add tech later?

+
Yes — that's the whole point of the evo+ line. Start with a clean, no-frills operator and add accessories down the road: the SOMweb app, battery backup, a wireless keypad, a locking magnet, even a humidity sensor that cracks the door to keep the garage from getting musty. It grows with you.

How much does an opener cost installed?

+
The Kooler 2060 — our German-built Sommer evo+ — starts at $924 installed, and that one number covers the operator, professional installation, and haul-away of your old unit. The heavier 2080 and 2110, and the LiftMaster belt-drive, are sized and quoted to your specific door. You always see the price before any work starts.

What's the difference between the Kooler Sentinel, Sentinel 360, and Prodigy 3?

+
The Sentinel is the everyday connected operator — a 1-HP belt drive, dual LED lighting, built-in camera, and myQ. The Sentinel 360 is the premium step up — a 1¼-HP belt drive, a 360° camera, and Corner-to-Corner Lighting that floods the whole garage at 2,000 lumens, with a lifetime motor-and-belt warranty. The Prodigy 3 is the wall-mount: it bolts beside the door instead of hanging from the ceiling, frees up your overhead space, deadbolts the door automatically every time it closes, and lifts doors up to 850 lbs.

What's Security+ 3.0?

+
It's the newest LiftMaster-platform generation, out at the end of 2025, and it's what the Kooler Sentinel and Sentinel 360 run. The remote and opener talk back and forth over Bluetooth to confirm every command, new encryption locks out counterfeit remotes, the motor is a quieter DC drive, and remote range reaches as far as 1,300 feet — plus a camera built right into the powerhead. The wall-mount Prodigy 3 runs the proven Security+ 2.0, which sends a fresh code every single click.

What's the warranty?

+
The Sommer evo+ (Kooler 2060) carries a lifetime warranty on the motor, 6 years on parts, and 2 years on accessories. The Kooler Sentinel carries 6 years on the motor and belt; the Sentinel 360 steps up to a lifetime motor-and-belt warranty with 5-year parts; the wall-mount Prodigy 3 carries a lifetime motor and 5-year parts. And the Kraftsman's Guarantee on our install never expires.

Do they work in a power outage?

+
With the battery-backup option, yes — the door keeps cycling on the internal battery, so a storm never leaves you parked in or parked out. We'll spec it into the quote if it matters to you.

How long does an opener install take?

+
2-3 hours including removal, install, app pairing, and the walk-through. If we're doing door work the same day, we coordinate both in one visit.
