Somfy LS40, LT50/60 tubular motor repair – specialist workshop for roller shutters & roller doors
 
Your Somfy tubular motor says:
“I am the classic among Somfy motors – quiet, robust, and reliably in use for decades.”
“At Thomas Reh, I regained the strength to move roller shutters and roller doors smoothly again.”
 
The Somfy classic
A very quiet mechanical tubular motor with simple limit setting via push button. Ideal for roller shutters, roller doors, and special applications that rely on proven technology. This motor series stands for longevity and stability – perfect for professional repair using original components.
 
Advantages compared to buying new
 
 
Sustainable: Environmentally friendly repair instead of replacement – proven technology remains in service.
 
 
Cost-efficient: Repair is cheaper than buying new; no conversion or new motor brackets required.
 
 
Easy re-adjustment: After refurbishment, the limit setting can be conveniently adjusted via push button.
