Match the model before choosing a document

Identifier: 6172. Keep every letter and suffix on your product label when checking applicability.

The 6172 mounts beside the door on the spring tube. Genie excludes one-piece swing doors; the listed capacity alone does not establish installation suitability.

Use the pre-installation measurement document first, then have the door system and mounting arrangement checked against the installation manual. The owner manual is a separate document.
