ThirdFactor | bioMETRX garage door opener named 'Best In Class'

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

bioMETRX’ MasterLock smartTOUCH garage door opener was named best in class and the most reliable biometric garage door opener after testing in an independent lab. The testing was conducted by Good Housekeeping’s Research Institute. “bioMETRX was aware that Good Housekeeping was performing tests on our GDO product, but we didn’t expect the tests to include competitor products as well,” noted Mark Basile, Chief Executive Officer for bioMETRX.

The MasterLock smartTOUCH garage door opener replaces traditional numeric keypads that are used to open a garage door. It allows homeowners to add or delete up to 20 different users, and works with all manufacturers’ garage door operators.
