The Genie 36440A Door Bracket and Hardware is a genuine OEM replacement kit used to connect a Genie garage door opener’s door arm to the top section of a sectional garage door. This bracket provides the secure attachment point that transfers opening and closing force from the opener arm to the door, restoring reliable operation when the original bracket is worn, bent, or missing. Supplied as the factory-designated part number 36440A, it’s designed for residential garage door opener applications and includes the bracket with the necessary attachment hardware as provided by Genie.
Installation typically involves fastening the bracket to the reinforced center of the door’s top section and connecting the opener’s straight/curved arm using the included pin and retainer, following the model-specific Genie installation instructions. It is commonly used across many Genie chain drive, belt drive, and screw drive openers that utilize a standard two-piece door arm. For safe results, ensure the door is properly reinforced at the mounting location, disconnect power before service, and verify the door is balanced by a qualified technician. Use only on door types and configurations specified by Genie; consult the opener manual or Genie support to confirm compatibility with your exact model.
