Rated 4.8 out of 5 by by Frather Amazingly easy to install...just requires a screwdriver and 10 minutes! I am not handy whatsoever but the installation of these sensors was even easier than previous reviewers wrote. Believe it! April 3, 2016

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Kmeister easy fix to a nagging problem I have a 20 year old overhead door operator that would not allow the door go down. My sensors appeared to be out of alignment because the red light kept blinking. After an hour of frustration to fix the issue with out any success i decided to replace the sensors. It took me longer to drive to the store that it did to replace them. December 19, 2015
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Verified Reviewer Genie garage door infared senors I purchased these to replace a set (20 years old) that failed after I got them wet cleaning my garage. The were easy to install and appear to be a better unit than the old ones. The door instantly started working correctly after I installed these. December 15, 2015
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by BigalSC Good Product Easy to install. Works well with existing garage door opener. Had to make some spacers for the brackets so beam would not be blocked by door rails. December 30, 2015

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by jankdc Works great with an old Genie. Easy to install. Does not come with wire, but you can reuse the old wire. I have an old screw drive opener from the 90's and this worked just fine. I had the old square sensors and this was a fine replacement. Couple of tips: It doesn't come with wire, but for most people reusing the old wire works just fine. The new brackets lined up perfectly with the old brackets. I just reused the old screws and I didn't need to fiddle with it. They lined up perfectly. It was an easy install and should be within reach of anyone. Tools that you will need: screwdriver. Tools that you may need: ladder to unplug the motor (you can also flip the breaker off), wire cutter (any cheap ones will do), wire stripper (you can use a knife in a pinch-careful not to cut the wire), pencil (to mark pilot holes), drill and small bit.

First, be sure there is 110V the the outlet by plugging a radio or electric light into the outlet. The circuit breaker could have blown or the high wind could have lifted one of the power wires off outside. I was called to neighbor's house to find why only half the circuit breakers had power...a tree limb had open-circuited one of the two power lines. Second, if 110V is present, replace the entire power head. Don't invest in parts.
Chain and screw drives are personal choices. If you get the screw drive go for the installer models.(that goes for chain drives too) These are boxed as pre-assembled one solid track. The Genies in stores have had the track cut to fit it in that little carton. These three assembly points are weak areas on the screw, whereras the one piece operator is very strong. Screw drives are also quieter in general. On most Genies the radio control and motor control circuit boards are individual, making DIY repairs less espensive. While you are at it, add a surge protector between the plug and outle…
