Put Safety And Security First In TheGarage (NAPSA)—Most people don’t realize the importance of the garage door opener in their daily lives. The garage is most often the main access point into the house, serving as the “first foot” into your homeas well as the “last foot” out. It also serves as a storage area for cars, lawn mowers, tools, toys and a variety of household products. “Recent advances in our garage door opener designs can help homeowners make their garages easier to access and also a safer environment,” says Sally Anderson, Vice President, Marketing Communications for The Chamberlain Group, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of garage door openers and access control products. “Chamberlain’s top priority is to continually look for ways to make our products safer for homeowners worldwide.” For instance, the company’s Protector System projects an invisible light beam across the garage door opening. Anything obstructing the beam automatically prevents the garage door from closing, by reversing the door while it’s going down. This safety feature is particularly important for families with childrenorpets. High-tech criminals who gain access by electronically “stealing” an opener’s access code can be out-smarted by a Security+ Remote Control with rolling code technology that changes the access code every time the control is used. With every push of the button, the code automatically rolls over to any one of over 100 billion codes, never to be repeated. Anderson cites an exclusive Motion-Detecting Control Panel as the firm’s latest safety innovation. “Motion-detecting sensors in the control panel ‘see’ you when you enter the garage. The opener lights automatically turn on hands-free, and stay on for five minutes, eliminating the frustration of fumbling around for the light switch, or the hazards of walking through a dark garage.” In addition to creating safe products, Chamberlain has created a coloring book designed to teach kids important garage safety tips in a fun, friendly way. With the help of a playful character named “Tom Cat,” kids can have fun coloring the “Tom Cat Discovers Garage Door Opener Safety” book as they learn a variety of garage safety tips.
