  • Will the included belt work with a Genie Quietlift 2040 unit; (don't need any of the other parts; just need the belt)?

    No sorry the belt for the 2040 and 2040L model is no longer available.  The part number was 36049R.S, so feel free to look at online retailers to see if you are able to locate.  However we cannot guarantee it will be available or guarantee the seller information if you do locate one.

    Thank you.

  • Do you have an extension kit for a 9 foot door and a StealthDrive Connect Model 7155-TKV

    No, the extension kits only work up to an 8 foot tall door.  For taller than 8 foot you would need a Genie professional unit, purchased at a Genie Dealer or a Side mount unit model 6172.  

    The Genie Dealer locator link is below.

  • Do you have a kit for a 3053-tsv belt drive? I have an 8 foot door

  • I have a intelli G 1200 with an 8’ door. I need a replacement belt for it. Is the belt the same for the 7’ and the 8’ extension? I just need the right belt. Thanks

    If you have a rail for an 8-foot high garage door, you would need the 8-foot belt.

    We no longer have the extension kits for the 1042 model garage door openers.

  • What extension kit/ piece parts are available to convert a 7'-0" 3120H-B, belt drive garage door opener, to an 8'-0" door opener? Thanks.

    The 3120H-B model garage door opener is a professional model that would have been installed with a one-piece rail. An extension kit cannot be added to the one-piece rail. You would need to contact your Genie professional dealer to see about a one-piece rail for an 8-foot high door.

    The 7155L-TKV model garage door opener would use the EKTB, 39026R belt extension kit.

    No, it will not. We no longer have a belt for the PMX500IC/B model garage door opener.

The holes in the ends of the pulley assembly should match up with the mounting holes at the end of the rail. Important: confirm the pulley pin is still in place. Fig. 10-11

14. On the other end of the rail, slide the drive sprocket assembly to adjust its position until the tabs rest in the slots in the rail end. Insert two mounting screws and tighten with a 1/4” wrench or socket. Fig. 12.
Note: This is also illustrated in step 1G on the assembly & installation poster.

15. On the door end (pulley), tension the belt by tightening the adjustment nut on the pulley assembly until the belt does not ride on the rail (approximately 1/8” off the rail. Fig. 11
Note: This is also illustrated in step 2 on the assembly & installation poster.

16. Tie the short red release cord to the existing release cord on the carriage. This will allow for the cord to be within reach following installation.
