Genie uses state-of-the-art technology in its garage door
openers. The Intellicode® remote access security system changes
the security code to one of billions of combinations each time
the transmitter is used, thus making it one of the safest
systems in the world. Its Sate-T-Beam™ infrared beam system can
sense the presence of objects in the door’s path and can thus
prevent damage to equipment. Genie garage door openers can be
installed on both single as well as double doors. They use ½
horsepower and can work on doors that are up to 8 feet high.
Genie garage door openers open twice as fast as other garage
door openers but close at normal speeds. They are very quiet,
