Genie SilentMax 1000 Garage Door Opener – Ultra-Quiet Belt Drive, 140V DC Motor

The Genie SilentMax 1000 garage door opener is designed for homes where the garage adjoins living spaces. It pairs a powerful yet lightweight 140V DC motor with a whisper-quiet belt-drive system, delivering smooth operation and reduced noise during peak household hours. The soft start and stop feature helps create gentle door travel, which may minimize vibrations and wear over time.

For homes with standard ceilings, this model supports doors up to 7 feet tall, and up to 8 feet with the extension kit (sold separately). When you need a quick entry, you’ll appreciate the faster opening speeds—up to 9 inches per second—without compromising safety or reliability. A thoughtfully positioned lighting head provides illumination toward the back of the garage, helping you see what you’re doing as you pull in or unload items.
