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

Biggest fear is that someone can get in while I am at work at night. I want my family protected. I have 5 kids and an awesome wife to take care of.

I have had 4 brain surgeries and recently a spinal cord surgery leaving me completely disabled and very very weak…I can’t shut our garage door(we have no opener) for fear of it landing on me…so my childcren try to help me which poses the ultimate second fear of it falling on them! Its unbarable to imagine either thing happening!

My biggest concern is that someone can just walk up and lift it open.. my garage door/opener stopped working a few weeks ago and ever since then I’ve had to get out of the car and manually lift my door open.. I’m always looking over my shoulders making sure no one is walking by.. lol. And getting home later at night is a whole ‘nother issue.. I’m paranoid enough as it is nevermind worrying that someone is watching when it’s dark out! ;)
