Do you service older Genie screw-drive openers?

Yes — screw-drive Genies are common in Montreal homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Most issues come down to dried lubricant, worn nuts, or logic board faults, all of which we address on-site.

My Safe-T-Beam sensors are flashing. Can you fix it?

Almost always. Safe-T-Beam issues are usually alignment, a snowblower-cut wire, or moisture in the sensor lens. We diagnose and repair or replace on the first visit.

Are Intellicode remotes still available?

Yes. We carry universal Intellicode-compatible remotes and can program them to any Genie opener made in the last 20 years. HomeLink pairing is included.

My Genie opener is 20 years old — repair or replace?

At that age, replacement often makes more sense than a major repair — especially if the drive components or board are failing together. We give you an honest side-by-side quote on-site.

Do you carry Genie parts on the truck?

We stock the most common Silentmax and ChainMax parts, plus universal Intellicode remotes and Safe-T-Beam sensor kits. Rare older parts may require a next-day return.

How quickly can you dispatch?

Same-day appointments across Montreal are typically 90 minutes to 3 hours during business hours. Emergency dispatch is available 24/7.

What You Can Check Before You Call

Genie openers have a few quirks worth checking first: 1. Look at the Safe-T-Beam sensors near the floor. If either LED is flashing or off, the sensors are the issue — often alignment or a broken wire from a snowblower or bike bump. 2. Test the wall console. If it works, the opener itself is healthy and the issue is the remote or keypad. 3. Replace remote batteries with fresh coin cells, then press the LEARN button briefly and press the remote within 30 seconds to re-pair. 4. On older screw-drive Genie units, listen for a loud grinding when the door moves. That is usually dried lubricant on the screw shaft — we service this on-site with the correct Genie-approved lubricant. Do not attempt to swap the logic board or drive components yourself. Genie parts vary between series (Silentmax vs ChainMax vs Excelerator), and installing the wrong part is a common DIY error.

Identify series and model (Silentmax, ChainMax, Excelerator, or older) from the motor label
