Depending on your garage door height, you may need an extension kit for your Genie garage door opener. The height of the garage door opening is the distance from the floor to the top of the garage door opening.

@ Brent – We do not make extension kits for 10 -foot high doors. If you have a 10-foot high door, you could consider one of our Wall Mounted model garage door openers https://store.geniecompany.com/collections/wall-mount-garage-door-opener-models, or check with a professional Genie dealer about the options for the 10-foot rail models. https://www.geniecompany.com/dealer-locator
Do you make an extension for a 10ft door. I had bought the Aladdin connect model. Model is the 7155-tkv smart
I have a 9’ door and bought the standard Genie Garage Door which fits a 7’ door . So I need an extension kit to accommodate a 9 ’ door .
@Dave – You can view replacement parts for the PMX500IC/B here. https://store.geniecompany.com/collections/by-model-pmx300-ic-pmx500-ic
The 15’ belt has failed on my PMX500ic/b. The shop door is 10’ tall…is a replacement belt available?
Thanks!
