Print ArticleJERICHO, N.Y., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - the smartTOUCH GDO(TM)biometric finger activated garage door opener from bioMETRX Inc., will be featured on The Discovery Channel reality television show, "It Takes a Thief" on Monday, February 12, 2007.
It Takes a Thief is a unique Discovery Channel series that offers viewers something they've never seen before: a home burglary performed by convicted former thieves that is taped as it happens, followed by a lesson in what steps to take to prevent such a violation from occurring again.
Hosted by reformed ex-cons Matt Johnston and Jon Douglas Rainey, It Takes a Thief exposes home-security flaws by unleashing these two uniquely qualified experts onto the properties of people interested in learning just how vulnerable their houses are, if at all. Watch along with the homeowners themselves as the burglars size up, break in, and ransack the home in search of valuables. And in so doing, discover what items are attractive - and why -to a burglar. Then, sit back as the experts give the property a full home-security makeover, reworking everything from window locks to garage door openers.
"This product is one of the most innovative and exciting security products for the homeowner that I've come across in many years. Its simplicity in setup and use makes this product a much better option than conventional openers", commented Frank Santamorena, PSP, Physical Security Specialist, a world-renowned security consultant with ASSA ABLOY, and several popular television programs.
The smartTOUCH(TM) Garage Door Opener was first featured on HGTV's primetime program "I Want That" over the summer. The company is delivering over 20,000 smartTOUCH GDOs to retailers in the next 90 days. The highly acclaimed garage door opener uses finger activated technology to operate the homeowner's garage door.
