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 greatest safety concern with the auto garage door opener is actually when it is closing and making sure we never close on a child, including my own.

Biggest safety concern… That the garage door will fall on my kids. A few months ago it actually fell off the rails (luckily car wasn’t in there) and my husband was able to catch it just barely!
Laura Shepherd
I receive emails from DSM. thank you!
Anna

My daughter stuck her finger in the garage door hinge when the door was raising. She got very lucky as it scraped her index finger, but could have been much worse. I am so paranoid now.
Cheri
I “like” Geni and deal seeking mom. My biggest concern about garage door openers is them closing on someone accidentally.

I’m always afraid I left the garage door open. We even got a not on our door from the police once says we need to remember to close it at night…ooops!
Michele
Subscribed via RSS Feed. Biggest concern is we don’t have the sensor turned on and the door is locked from the outside so I have to push the door closed and run before it gets too far down to crush me.
Jacqueline
My biggest concern? Throwing out my back while trying to open our garage door. We don’t have an automatic opener.
carly
My biggest safety concern is my husband leaving the garage door open when he leaves for work in the morning when the kids and I are still in bed. So, each morning after he leaves, I walk downstairs to double-check that it’s closed, even if I’ve heard it. Sometimes they open back up – right?
Michele
forgetting to close/lock the garage door.
