My Genie screw drive is grinding. Do I need a new opener?

Usually not. The screw shaft most likely needs cleaning and regreasing with the right lubricant. It's one of the cheaper repairs we do.

Will a LiftMaster remote work with my Genie?

No. Different manufacturers, different code systems. It takes a Genie-compatible remote.

Do you stock Genie parts?

The common ones ride on the truck. Anything unusual means a second trip, and you pay for the part, not the drive.

Genie garage door opener repair in Alameda

Genie is a separate manufacturer from LiftMaster and Chamberlain, and it runs its own rolling code, so remotes don't cross over between them. If the housing on your ceiling says Genie, it takes Genie-compatible parts.

Screw drive units

Genie put in a lot of screw drive openers around here. They're strong and they last, but the screw shaft needs the right grease. The wrong lubricant, or none at all, makes them grind and stall. Cleaning the shaft and regreasing it is often the whole repair.

What else fails

The carriage assembly, the safety sensors, the limit switches and the circuit board. On older units the wall console can die while everything else is still good.

Remotes and keypads

Genie remotes pair to Genie receivers. A universal remote can work, but only if it supports the right code system. We bring the correct one instead of guessing in your driveway.
