Genie OEM 36179R.S Carriage & Lubricant Kit for Screw Drive Garage Door Openers

Revitalize your Genie screw-drive garage door with the Genie OEM 36179R.S Carriage and Lubricant Kit. This replacement assembly replaces worn components and adds a practical dose of lubrication to help your system move more smoothly along the rail. The kit combines the carriage with a lubricant and an emergency release lever, offering a practical update for older hardware.

Designed for older Genie screw-drive openers manufactured from 1993 to 2011, the kit fits a broad range of models that rely on the screw drive to translate motor torque into vertical travel. The carriage engages the screw with precision teeth, supporting quieter starts and steadier cycles as the door travels up and down the rail. The included lubricant helps reduce friction at the contact points, which may contribute to smoother operation over time.

Key features and compatibility

• Replacement for multiple older part numbers to simplify sourcing and maintenance.
• Lubricant included to reduce wear and deliver smoother cycles.
• Works with both magnetic and mechanical limit switch configurations common on older Genie units.
• Emergency release lever included to enable manual door operation during outages or emergencies.

Real-life benefits you might notice

• More consistent door movement with less jolt as the carriage aligns with the screw drive.
• Potential reduction in grinding, chattering, or hesitation during cycles.
• Improved reliability for a wide set of models such as 1060, 1560, 2560, 3560, 3860, IS525, IS550, IS900, IS920 and others listed by the manufacturer.

Quality and safety notes

Because this is an OEM Genie part, it is designed to fit with the brand’s original specifications. Follow standard safety practices when working near live garage doors, and use the included emergency release lever as needed during power disruptions to manually operate the door.
