Genie Parts

Having a Genie garage door opener means keeping your home, your possessions, and your family safe. The garage is a favorite point of entry for intruders, and an automatic garage door opener can increase the likelihood that you keep this area locked and secure. While a Genie garage door opener is one of the best you can purchase, you may need to eventually replace some Genie parts.

Replacing Genie parts may mean the opener itself or it may mean another component of the opener itself. Sometimes a chain can get stuck or rusted or break, and this means the garage door opener won't work at all. Typically however Genie parts will mean the opener itself, a remote for the opener, or a keypad for the Intellicode.

To make sure you get the right Genie parts and that they're installed properly, consider some quick but important tips in this regard. Keep in mind that improper installation or using something other than Genie parts may void any warranty you have on your garage door opener, so keep these tips in mind.

The Right Parts

How do you know which Genie parts are the right parts for you? It's important to check the model numbers of any parts you purchase and ensure that they're compatible. Don't assume that one keypad will work with every model of opener, or that every remote will work with your particular opener. Every authorized reseller of Genie parts should list the part numbers for which each one is compatible, but it's up to you to check those carefully.

It's also good to remember that you only want to use Genie parts on a Genie garage door opener. Trying to use another manufacturer's part may result in damage to your unit overall. It's also unlikely that they'll even work in the first place, so taking a few extra minutes to find the right Genie parts will be worth that effort.

Time to Upgrade

When you need new Genie parts you may want to think about upgrading your system and its components. For example, have you thought about remote control garage door openers that are on a keychain? In this way you can open and close your garage door easily when you go out for a jog or aren't in your car. These are also easier to loan to friends and family when they need to get into your home; if you need new Genie parts consider installing this type of remote.

An Intellicode is also a favorite choice for many and you may want to consider these when replacing Genie parts. With an Intellicode you use a keypad with a code to open and close your garage door, and this too adds to your security. If you need to allow someone else into your garage, you can just share the code and then change it later if needed. So if you need new Genie parts consider upgrading to one of these options for your garage.
