Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

Have you ever wondered if you remembered to close the garage door? Or have you ever worried about the safety of your garage door? If so, then the Genie SilentMax 1000 garage door opener and its many new safety features will offer you peace of mind.
Not only does the SilentMax 1000 provide intelligent design for the homeowner that wants quiet performance with superior design and conveniences, it also offers some pretty amazing safety features like a comprehensive Safe-T-Beam system that meets or exceeds CSA regulations, an auto reversing system that prevents it from closing if something is in the way, and a superior encryption system that automatically changes the access code every time you use it to prevent unauthorized persons from opening your garage door.
The Genie SilentMax 1000 is so simple to install that my husband was able to put it up without assistance in about an hour. I have to say it definitely lives up to its name — it’s the quietest garage door opener I’ve ever heard (or not heard in this case). I was in the house and had no idea he was already testing it out!

I love the keypad entry system because it means I don’t have to carry bulky keys with me when I go for a walk or to the park, and it’s also great for those rare occasions when the kids beat me home from school. They just punch in our PIN number, and can let themselves into the house.

One of my favorite features is the optional Network Adapter. It’s easy to get distracted when pulling out of the driveway with a carload of kids, so this handy little feature tells me at a glance whether or not I’ve remembered to shut the garage door. The Network Adapter remote will beep and flash green when closed properly or give a warning tone and flash read when not closed properly.
Today, one lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will win a Genie Silent Max 1000 Garage Door Opener prize pack that includes:
- One SilentMax 1000 Garage Door Opener
- Closed Confirm 3-button Remote and Network Adapter Combo

My biggest safety concern with a garage door is that it will open when we are out of town.
Lea
OMG, so scary to think they wont automatically go up if something/someone goes underneither when the door is closing! eek
JUDY
My biggest safety concern would be the garage door closing on me or my car or someone else as they are coming in or going out of the garage.

We currently do not have a garage door opener. So, I do worry that someone will forget to lock the garage door. The Genie would definately help safety and be a much easier!
Diane
My concern for my own garage door opener, is that it is unreliable. It just doesn’t open when it feels like it,l trapping me in the garage. The door is pretty heavy to lift without it.

We always grew up with garage openers so I was bummed when my house’s garage didn’t have one. I think my current set up is probably more of a safety concern as when open it’s held up by a screw I put in place and i I forget it can slam down at random!
Kara
My biggest concern is forgetting to close my garage when I go out or at night!
Jennifer Bolden
My biggest concern is someone getting caught in one. But I don’t have one right now so I desperately need this!
Teresa F
Biggest safety concern is it falling on one of my kids. Thank you.
Jill
My biggest fear is that one of my kids will get smooshed!
Lani
My biggest safety concern that I am currently having with my garage door right now is that I can open but I can’t shut it. The hardest part is when I have to leave it open all morning until I can call my brother blocks down from me to come and figure out what is wrong with it. I don’t like the fact that all my items in the garage is fully exposed to potential stealers.

My biggest concern is having the door open when we’re not home!

I’m always worried that I will forget to close it because sometimes I leave it open so that I can finish a task like taking out the garbage but will get distracted.

My biggest safety concern with garage doors is my little monsters: (age 6, 3.5 and 2!) They aren’t exactly the best listeners! I’m always scared of little fingers getting into places they don’t belong. Also, I am definitely one of those “did I remember to close the garage door?” kind of people. Trying to get the kids loaded up in the car is work enough, I tend to forget the other things!

My biggest safety concern is that someone with come by and open my garage by pushing it in. I know that sounds silly, it’s true.
Vanessa
My biggest concern is that it will close on one of my kids..scary!
Karissa Anderson
I think my main concern of a garage door is the accidental closing on something or someone! I would hate to know that i was in the garage and activate the door and my child or someone else had tried to dart in quickly to get my attention.

My biggest safety concern is that the garage will not close all the way and pop back open after driving away or going inside at night.

My biggest concern is someone coming through with an universal remote and just driving thru the neighborhood trying different codes. Eventually something might open up.
Margeaux Miller
My biggest safety concern is when shutting the door sometimes the littlest thing can trigger it to go back up and by that time we are already gone.

We’re about to build a new house and need one of these. :) My biggest safety concern with garage doors is someone being able to easily break in.
