New Skylink Garage Door Opener Provides Quiet Operation

BRAMPTON, Ontario, Jan. 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Does your garage door opener sound like a jet taking off every time you open and close it? If you answered yes, it's time you switched to one of Skylink's new residential garage door openers.

The Skylink Group -- a leader in wireless technology and garage door remotes -- has launched a series of new Quiet Door Openers. The Easy/Quiet models employ a soft starting and stopping motor operation which prevents that loud jet-sound many homeowners are used to. The Easy/Quiet Door Opener will be rolled-out in three different models, EQ-1511, EQ-1522 and EQ-1722. All models have the following features:

 -- Optimal self learning force, which detects any obstacles
 -- Automatic light dimming
 -- Rolling code technology
 -- Safety Durable chain drive

"The products were designed with the consumer in mind -- not only is it quiet, but it's easy to install and use," noted Philip Tsui, CEO of Skylink. "Skylink is proud to have its name on these two tiers of residential garage door openers."

As a step up from the Easy/Quiet system, Skylink is also unveiling their Intelligent/Quiet models. The Intelligent/Quiet Door Opener will be available in two different models, IQ-1523 and IQ-1723, which employ all the same features as the Easy/Quiet models, plus an intelligent wall console. The console provides a programming interface, timer and vacation locks, an event log which memorizes when the 10 previous garage door opener activations occurred and a diagnostic message display.

"As a leader in home access solutions, we know the importance of providing homeowners with convenience and security. Consumers will never have to climb a ladder again in order to re-program their openers. A garage door opener that safely and securely opens and performs is truly a benefit," added Tsui.

Skylink's Easy/Quiet and Easy/Intelligent Residential Garage Door Opener systems are priced from $159.99 (U.S.) and are available worldwide. Skylink also offers a professional line of garage door openers with a sold rail. For more information, please visit Skylink at www.skylinkhome.com or contact via telephone at 800-304-1187.
