Overhead Door Answers the Nagging Question, "Did It Close Yet?"

DALLAS, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, Overhead Door Corporation, a leading manufacturer of residential overhead garage doors and openers, announces the introduction of Door Report, an advanced garage door remote designed to give homeowners additional convenience, security and peace of mind. The Door Report remote is an innovative accessory from Overhead Door that answers the nagging question, "Did I close the garage door?"

With Door Report, there's no more wondering whether you should turn around and go back to check on your garage door. This unique product provides convenience and security upon departing from home, especially this time of year when expensive purchases are often stored in the garage. Here's how it works: Once the garage door closes, the Door Report remote will emit a beep and flash a green light as an assuring confirmation. If the garage door does not close properly, a warning tone will sound and a red light will flash.

Door Report operates on 915 MHz frequency and communicates with up to three garage door openers via an Overhead Door Network Adapter (sold separately), which plugs into the opener. Its sleek, compact design provides intuitive use and function, but with minimal space requirements. It also features a visor clip for convenient placement.

Because Door Report is a hardware solution, it does not require ongoing fees. After purchasing Door Report, homeowners will enjoy the safety and comfort of knowing the contents of their home and garage are secure, without paying for a monthly technology system subscription.

Door Report only works with Overhead Door's new Odyssey^™ and Destiny^™ garage door openers that feature powerful motors to lift doors quickly and quietly. Designed with safety and convenience in mind, both openers feature a bright lighting system, while select models feature a motion-detection system that activates the lights in the garage.

Both Odyssey and Destiny openers incorporate Overhead Door's innovative DoorDetect^™ monitoring and diagnostic technology, which continuously monitors the operation of the door and reacts intuitively. This technology minimizes noise, wear and tear on the door and improves overall safety. Both openers also offer homeowners many accessory options and are compatible with HomeLink^® and Car2U^® in-car universal remote systems.

Overhead Door products are available through a broad network of more than 450 authorized Overhead Door Ribbon Distributors who provide sales, installation and service to residential customers.
