The Genie 36446A Curved Door Arm is an original replacement component used on Genie residential garage door openers to connect the opener’s straight door arm and trolley to the top section of a standard sectional garage door. Its curved profile helps achieve the proper door travel arc, promoting smoother operation and reducing stress on the door and opener. Pre-drilled adjustment holes allow the installer to fine-tune the arm length as specified in the opener’s installation manual, restoring correct opening and closing performance when the original arm is bent, worn, or damaged.
This curved door arm is intended for sectional doors on Genie systems that call out part number 36446A in their parts list. It is typically used as part of a two-piece door arm assembly with a separate straight arm. Installation involves attaching the curved arm to the existing door bracket and straight arm using the appropriate fasteners specified by the manufacturer; always disconnect power, place the opener in manual release, and ensure the door is properly balanced before servicing. After replacement, check and, if necessary, readjust the opener’s travel limits and force settings per the Genie owner’s manual. Not for one-piece/tilt-up doors unless explicitly listed by the manufacturer.
