The Genie 18295A04 Header Bracket is a replacement mounting bracket used to attach a Genie residential garage door opener’s door arm to the wall header above the door. Positioned at the centerline of the door, this component provides the fixed pivot point that allows the opener’s straight/curved door arm to move the door smoothly through open and close cycles. Identified by Genie part number 18295A04, this header bracket is commonly used across many Genie chain, belt, and screw drive systems that utilize the standard two-piece door arm connection. Buyers seeking a replacement header bracket for a Genie opener or an upgrade to restore proper operation can reference the 18295A04 part number in their opener’s manual or parts diagram to confirm model compatibility.
Installation involves fastening the bracket securely to structural framing at the door’s centerline and connecting the opener arm with the correct clevis and retaining pin per the opener’s instructions. For safety and performance, follow Genie’s mounting guidelines, use appropriate fasteners into solid framing, and install a door reinforcement bracket if recommended by the door manufacturer. No programming is required for this component; it is a mechanical mounting part within the opener rail and door arm assembly. Always disconnect power and ensure the door is properly balanced by a qualified technician before performing any opener hardware work.
