Somfy supplier, installation & repair in Ajman

Supplied, installed, serviced and repaired by Qasar Al Neil Automatic Doors.

Somfy is a French company from Cluses that makes motors and controls for roller shutters, blinds, awnings, gates, garage doors and other home automation. Qasar Al Neil Automatic Doors installs, repairs and maintains Somfy motors and controls in Ajman and across Ajman. We are an independent service company and not connected to the manufacturer.

Somfy roller shutter motor repair in Ajman

Somfy is mainly known for tubular motors that sit inside the roller of a shutter or blind. Typical faults:

  • The shutter stops at the wrong point because the limit settings have been lost or have moved.
  • The motor hums but the curtain does not move: a jammed slat, a seized bearing or a failed motor.
  • The shutter ignores the remote: a dead battery in the handset, a lost pairing or a receiver fault.
  • The motor cuts out after a short run, as a thermal protection trips from heat or overload.

Rolling shutters are heavy and run in tracks that fill with sand, so mechanical drag is often the root of a motor fault. See our automatic rolling shutters, residential rolling shutters and rolling shutter doors pages.

Somfy remote control and receiver

Somfy remotes control one shutter or several in a group. We replace handsets and batteries, pair motors, and test receivers and wall controls. A handset must match the radio system of the motor, so we confirm that before fitting. More on our remote controls and receivers page.

Somfy gate and garage door operators

Somfy also makes operators for swing gates, sliding gates and garage doors, with control boxes, photocells and warning lights. The faults are the general ones for any gate: a blocked photocell, a worn arm or pinion, a limit that has drifted, or a control board damaged by water. Our gate motors page covers the gate side and automatic swing gates shows the gate type.

Somfy installation and maintenance

We choose the motor to suit the weight and size of the shutter, gate or door, set the limits, pair the remotes and test the safety devices. A maintenance visit includes:

  • Cleaning tracks, guides and slats, and checking the curtain for damage.
  • Testing limits, remotes, wall switches and the manual override.
  • Checking cables, connectors and control boxes for heat and moisture.
  • On gates, testing photocells, force settings and the emergency release.

For homes with automation across shutters, gates and garage doors, one visit can cover all of them. You can also read about CAME and BFT gate operators. Book a free site visit and we will inspect each motor and control.

How to choose Somfy shutter motor service

Before a visit, collect a few facts about the Somfy equipment. They let the technician bring the right tools and likely parts, and they shorten the time on site. The table lists what helps most.

Somfy in UAE conditions

Shutter and gate motors in the UAE face 45 to 50 C heat, dust and humid air. Motors that overheat cut out and reset, sand binds guides and slats, and power dips upset stored limits. Clean guides and a correct limit setting protect the motor from extra load.

Somfy spare parts and older units

We check whether a part for your Somfy unit can be sourced before quoting. Where the original part is no longer available, we say so and suggest a compatible replacement, and we do not promise a part until we have seen the unit. Photos of the label and the fault help, and you can send them through send a photo.

Somfy service across Ajman

Somfy service, frequently asked questions

Which garage door opener brands do you fit and repair?

We fit, program and service openers and operators from Somfy, Nice, CAME, BFT, Sommer, Marantec and Hormann, among others, in Ajman, Sharjah and Dubai.

Tell us the brand and model printed on your motor, or send a photo. We confirm whether it can be repaired, reprogrammed or should be replaced, and quote in writing after the free site visit.

Where can I buy a gate motor in Ajman?

QNAD supplies sliding, swing, underground and ram gate motors and fits them in Ajman, Sharjah and Dubai. We choose the motor from the gate type, leaf weight and length, how often the gate is used and the power available, then quote it in writing after a free site visit.

We also replace failed motors, control boards and receivers on gates that are already installed. Motors from Beninca, BFT, CAME, FAAC, Nice, Roger Technology, VDS and Somfy can be fitted. See gate motor supply.

Why does my Somfy shutter stop before it is fully open or closed?

The motor knows where to stop through stored limit positions. If the shutter stops early, the limits may have been lost after a power fault, or the curtain may be catching in the guides, which makes the motor sense resistance and stop. Check for debris in the tracks first. If the track is clear, the limits can usually be reset by a technician. Please avoid forcing the shutter by hand, since a bent slat or damaged guide will cause the same fault again and can harm the motor.

My Somfy remote has stopped working. Do I need a new motor?

Almost never. Try a new battery first. If that fails, test whether another remote or wall switch operates the motor. If something else works, the original handset is faulty or needs pairing again. If nothing works, the motor may have lost power, the pairing may have been lost, or the receiver may have failed. A motor is only replaced when it is confirmed dead after those checks. We test power, pairing and the motor before we recommend any replacement.

Why does my Somfy shutter motor stop after a short run and restart later?

That is thermal protection. The motor stops when it gets too hot, then restarts after it cools. The cause is generally extra load: a heavy or bent curtain, dirty guides, a stiff bearing or a shutter that is too large for the motor. Heat inside a closed shutter box adds to it. Repeated tripping shortens motor life, so it is worth investigating. We check the curtain, guides, bearings and the motor rating, and fix the drag rather than just replace the motor.

Can you service Somfy gate and garage door operators as well as shutter motors?

Yes. Somfy makes gate and garage door operators as well as shutter motors, and we service those too. The checks differ: on a shutter we look at limits, bearings and the curtain, while on a gate or garage door we test photocells, force, limits, the arm or rail and the emergency release. If you have shutters, gates and a garage door at the same property, we can inspect all of them in a single visit and give you one list of findings.

Do you serve all areas of Ajman?

Yes, we install and service automatic doors and gates across Ajman, from Al Nuaimiya, Al Rashidiya and Al Rawda to Al Jurf Industrial Area, Emirates City and Ajman Free Zone. Our head office is in Al Aalia.

Villas, apartment buildings, workshops and warehouses all fall within our coverage, including Al Hamidiya, Al Mowaihat, Al Zahra, Al Bustan, Al Rumaila, Ajman Corniche and Masfout. Call us with your location. See our sliding gates and garage doors.

What is the difference between an automatic sliding door and a swing door for a shop entrance?

A sliding entrance door moves sideways into a pocket or along the wall, so it needs no clearance in front of or behind the opening, which makes it the default choice for narrow shopfronts and mall entrances with heavy foot traffic. A swing door pushes open into the room or the street and needs clear space on the swing side.

Sliding doors generally handle higher footfall better and are easier to fit with an air curtain to keep air conditioning in. Swing doors can look more premium on boutique entrances and cost less to install. We fit both, and for most retail units in Ajman and Sharjah we recommend automatic sliding glass doors.
