I reviewed your blog it’s really good. thank you for the information about this blog. I want more information
Hi Sheila –
We would need more information on your BlueMax garage door opener. If this unit doesn’t have safety beams then the remote will not work for you. You can contact us at 1-800-354-3643 for more information. Thank you!
HELP!
Our renters lost the remote for the garage door opener. I need to replace it obviously.
Will your “Genie Universal Series Garage Door Opener Remote” (Model #GU4TG-R, Part Number 40769R) work on a BLUE MAX GARAGE OPENER. This is a model used by many builders in our area of California and (sadly) the one that’s in our rental.
Thanks a million for any help you can give me!
Gratefully yours,
Sheila Simpson
Hi James, as long as the receiver is identified on this compatibility chart, https://www.geniecompany.com/data/products/accessories/manuals/universal-remote-compatibility.pdf then the remote should work for you. Here is the programming video, https://www.geniecompany.com/garage-door-openers/product-support/video/genie-video_universal-remote-control-programming.aspx, if it still doesn’t work after using the instructions from this video, please call us at 1-800-354-3643
