A good winterization plan starts with checking your garage door seals, inspecting parts, and verifying your opener is operating smoothly. Like a lot of spaces within your home, cold weather can put an extra strain on the area, making preventative maintenance especially important.
This season, consider adding smart technology and convenient access solutions to your garage with Genie® accessories designed to make everyday life easier.
Stay Connected with Aladdin Connect®
One of the easiest ways to upgrade your garage for winter is with the Aladdin Connect® Garage Door Controller, which allows homeowners to monitor and control their garage door from anywhere using a smartphone. The system provides real-time door status, remote open and close capabilities, smart scheduling features, and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Whether you're traveling for the holidays or simply want to double-check that the garage door is closed before a winter storm rolls in, Aladdin Connect helps provide peace of mind.
Convenient Access, Even on Cold Days
Winter often means bulky coats, gloves, sleds, snow blowers, and plenty of trips in and out of the garage. The new Genie® Wireless Keyless Entry Keypad (GK2-R) makes access simple without needing a remote or key. The keypad features large buttons, bright backlighting for nighttime visibility, a weather-protected flip-up cover, and secure Intellicode® technology that changes the access code with every use to help prevent unauthorized entry. It also allows homeowners to create temporary PINs for guests, neighbors, or service professionals when needed.
A Smarter Garage This Winter
Preparing your garage for winter isn't just about maintenance. It's also about creating a safer, more convenient experience throughout the season. By combining routine garage door care with smart upgrades like the Aladdin Connect and the Wireless Keyless Entry Keypad, homeowners can enjoy greater security, easier access, and added confidence no matter what the weather brings.
