The Smartlife garage door controller revolutionises control with the push of a button. With the addition of Smartlife, you’ll make your customers’ home a smart one. Here are the top five reasons to convince your customers to choose a Smartlife: 1. Compatible with smart devices Smartlife operates on a simple-to-use, free app-based system (learn more here) that allows you to control your garage door and receive status updates, all from your smart devices. Allowing you to easily operate your door through your phone or tablet, Smartlife gives you a new sense of safety and ease. You can also choose to operate your garage through your smart speakers using voice control to open, close, and find out the status of your door. 2. Share access with others By sharing access with others you are trusting them to operate your garage door, this can be permanent or for a set amount of time. Once the app is downloaded on their phone, all you need to do is to send a message with the access link to the intended user. The sharing feature still keeps you as the primary controller, allowing you to grant access when needed whilst keeping the authority in your hands. This is a great addition for families or businesses that have multiple people using their garage doors. 3. Operate your door from anywhere, anytime As long as your smart device is connected to WiFi or 4G, you will have access to your door wherever you are. This will not only provide heightened security but is a great feature if you’re away from the building and need to allow access to your garage. 4. Keep up to date with the status of your door By utilising the app you can quickly and easily check if your door is open or closed. Smartlife also provides you with real-time notifications when your door is in operation or if it is left open for a set period. Whilst you do have the option to deactivate these notifications, they do offer another level of security, especially when away from your home. 5. Easy to set up and use To set up your controller, all you need to do is to connect the cables included and then link them to your garage door. Once the controllers’ hub is turned on and working with the garage door operator, simply go into the app and connect your smart device to the hub to gain complete access to your door.

Garador Sponsors New Charity Race Garador has played a major role in the West Country’s first-ever Race from the Base charity event. This brand-new event was organised to raise funds for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, and Garador was a key sponsor, providing funding for the charity and also organising a 6 man team to take part in the race. The event started and finished at Henstridge Airfield in Somerset, with three different length routes available. These included a shorter circuit of just 30 km and the most demanding, a 60km cruise race and 100km climb race, which followed a challenging course around the local countryside. The Garador team included staff members Dean Curwen, Philip Wareham, Neil Bond, Steve Cottell, Geoff Babiy and Robert Green who work in Garador’s manufacturing department. The race day was particularly hot and challenging, but Garador’s avid cycling team members completed the challenge in excellent time, opting for the 60km course. Alana Hardy, Fundraising Events Officer at Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance said the hot weather made the race really hard work, but nevertheless, it was a big success. “Money is still coming in, so we don’t have a total yet, but without a doubt, this new Race from the Base went very well indeed. It was a fantastic event and the riders had a great time. “I would like to say a special huge thank you to Garador; we couldn’t run these events without their support,” she added. “We will now definitely be running another event next year.” Visit www.garador.co.uk to view their comprehensive range of garage doors.
