The Genie 36445A Straight Door Arm is an OEM replacement component for Genie garage door openers that use a two-piece door arm assembly. This straight arm links the opener’s traveler/trolley to the curved arm that mounts to the door bracket, transferring the opener’s motion to reliably open and close residential garage doors. It is designed for many Genie chain-drive, belt-drive, and screw-drive models that specify the 36445A part number, making it a practical solution for repairs or refurbishing worn linkage components with a genuine Genie part.
Installation typically involves disconnecting power to the opener, placing the system in manual release, and attaching the straight arm to the trolley and to the curved arm using the existing clevis pin/fastener locations, then retesting and adjusting travel limits and force settings as required by the opener’s owner’s manual. For safety, verify door balance before reconnecting the opener, and test Safe-T-Beam systems and contact reversal per UL 325 procedures after installation. This Genie straight door arm helps restore proper opener-to-door linkage for smooth, consistent operation and is suitable for residential applications where a two-piece Genie door arm is specified.
