The durable, Chain Drive 550 garage door opener is also made with a heavy duty chain for many years of reliable operation Review: Big upgrade from my 1990's opener - I purchased this garage door opener to replace a Stanley model from the 1990's which cracked the drive gear housing. Rather than buy the replacement part for $40 plus shipping, I chose to replace the whole unit and I am very glad I did. The install was fairly straightforward since I was replacing an existing system and the wiring was all compatible. First impression: The system is dainty and quiet. I would say the Genie motor housing is half as big as my old opener but my old opener was a big empty box of old tech so that makes sense. Keypad remote is a nice extra and straightforward to program. Took me two tries as I think it didn't register one of the digits in my pin so I had to reset it and start over which the instructions also covered. Install hiccups: (1) You are supposed to tension the chain until there is a 1/4" gap between the chain and the bottom of the rail. I couldn't get anywhere close to this tension without it binding hard so I chose to let it sag a bit lower. (2) The instructions are very accurate and actually pretty amazing and should be applauded. At one point, the instructions direct the user to carry out three steps to connect the chain bar to the motor housing but the first two are for chain drive and the latter is for belt drive. Not even close to a real issue but worthy of an edit in my opinion. (3) You are hereby warned to wear disposable gloves. The bar is absolutely covered in lubricant as is, of course, the chain. Again, you've been warned. So far: I can't stress how much quieter this unit is than my old opener. Sitting on a deck above the garage, we cannot hear it unless we listen for it (garage roof is concrete). No, it is not silent, but it is miles less obnoxious than old models of openers. Warranty: my remotes came scuffed and cut up. Genie was very responsive through their online chat support (phone support has unreasonably long wait times.) It seems that the metal visor clip which ships detached from the car remotes can get in front of the remote and slice into the plastic. Not a deal breaker but after spending a long time installing the opener and the keypad, the car remotes were the last thing I opened so ... oof. In all, I would highly recommend this opener. Review: Good For The Price - This is exactly what was expected from an inexpensive opener. I unpacked it and checked the contents to the parts list to insure everything was there. It was fairly easy to follow the instructions for the basic installation. I took one additional trip to the store for a needed piece of 2x4 to provide a good place to secure the motor unit. Working alone, the installation and basic set up took about 4 hours. I did have a problem (probably my fault) figuring out the written instructions on how to program the wireless keypad, and the universal remote in my Chevrolet Blazer. A call to customer service had a long expected waiting time, but they called back after 30 minutes. The representative then quickly walked me though the correct set up procedure in order to get both things working successfully. The overall quality of the opener itself seems good, but I would consider the keypad and accessories a bit on the flimsy side, especially compared to the components of my old Craftsman 3/4 HP opener. I suppose it's a sign of the times and the manufacturer's cost cutting efforts. I guess time will tell on how durable they really are. ## Features - RELIABLE, DURABLE OPERATION: The Genie Chain Drive 550 garage door opener has a heavy-duty chain drive system that allows for long-lasting durable operation - EASY TO INSTALL: The Chain Drive 550 garage door opener is equipped with a strong 5-piece rail system that easily snaps together with no added hardware required.

The remotes and keypad work through 315/390 MHz which is similar to that of a television remote. No Wifi or bluetooth, or internet for that matter is required. **Q: Is the steel rail included?** A: Yes all you need is included...motor, rail, and two nice remotes and remote for outside too! We have bought two of these and they are soooo quiet! **Q: Does installation of the Gene 550 chaindrive garge door opener include installing the keypad and control?** A: Yes. I left my old wires in place and used them. I did not use the new wires in the box. The keypad was easier to set than most I have set in the past. I love this garage door opener it is very smooth and quiet. **Q: I have one sensor green one sensor red. I swapped them to see if that would work but still the same thing Any other reason why this would be happening** A: You should have one sensor with solid red and other with solid Green light. If the red one blinks, please check if something is blocking your doorway and also check the wiring. If there is no lights on both sensors, please contact customer service at 1.800-354-3643. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big upgrade from my 1990's opener *by D***G on May 20, 2021* I purchased this garage door opener to replace a Stanley model from the 1990's which cracked the drive gear housing.

You can barely hear the opener itself. Even with the chain drive this is whisper quiet. Way quieter than even my own 2005 screw unit. The instructions are very good. You can even download the BILT app which has the same instructions presented in a 3d environment where you can pan and zoom around the hardware for each step, pretty cool. This was installed on an aluminum double wide door that's painted on the outside and has insulation on the inside. Handles it completely fine assuming your door springs are adjusted to the proper tension. The included wire does have a white side and a white/black side unlike what's been said in other reviews. There are instructions for reversing the release mechanism in the extremely rare case that you would need to, unlike what's been said in other reviews. Setting the opening and closing limits is easy as can be. Just be careful programming the down limit as you can put so much pressure on it that the rail will deflect/bow. Only go down until your bottom seal compresses slightly and the rail is still straight. The rail length is a little shorter than some older openers. I was able to use the included angle iron strips to connect into the existing mounting angle iron mounts coming down from the ceiling. No repositioning of mounts necessary. The remotes are pre programmed and it's easy to program a new code into the outside wall mount remote. I also programmed a homelink car built-in remote with no trouble. Overall this thing works perfectly, is impressively quiet, and is easy to set up and program. I'm thoroughly impressed with it, especially considering that it is on the lower end in terms of price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Genie Chain Drive 550 Garage Door Opener, Heavy Duty Chain Drive Opener, Model 2035-TKO - Genie EKTC 8ft Chain Drive Garage Door Opener Extension Kit for Genie Tube Style Chain Rails, Metallic - Garage Door Opener Hanging Kit, Galvanized Steel, Installation Screws Included, Compatible with Most Popular Brands --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/102317312-genie-chain-drive-550-garage-door-opener-heavy-duty-chain](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/102317312-genie-chain-drive-550-garage-door-opener-heavy-duty-chain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
