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 concern is the garage door being left open. My opener has been broken for a while and the door has to be closed manually. My teenagers get lazy sometimes and leave it open.

I always get so paranoid about accidentally leaving the garage door open. I have 3 night meetings a month where I leave right as the kids are getting ready for bed, and I always double check to make sure I closed the garage door by looking out my rearview mirror. I’m always afraid I’ll see a kid come running out. :(

OMG! My husband and I just bought a new home and they pervious owners took the opening system with them. We live in Washington State and it rains all the time here. I would be such a blessing to tay in the car until we were in our dry garage. So, a new system has been on our wih list…. As many of you know things can be pretty tight financialy after a home purchase. This would be a wonderful suprise for my husband and keep me dry. LOL. So, please pick us; it would be a great blessing. Thank you DSM!

I like you on FB and I liked Genie. Safety is so important with garage door openers. With small children, I want to feel comfortable that the door will not close on the child.

Our door keeps popping out at the top, worried it is going to fall when the door is open
