Unfortunately, there are people in the world that will try to enter your home and steal your belongings if the opportunity arises. If you have an attached garage, potential intruders may look for weaknesses in your garage door security to gain access to your home. It is important to ensure that your garage door and opener are offering the best defense against intruders and thieves – here are a few tips to keep your garage doors secure.
- Remote lock. Does your garage door opener allow you to lock your door remotely? While the door should lock automatically when closed, you want the ability to control locking and security features. Newer garage door openers offer smartphone apps that help you manage your garage door security, even when you are not home.
- Revolving security codes. If you have an older garage door remote, it may not have revolving codes that protect you from invasion. Talk to your local garage door service company – they can check to make sure your opener has rolling or revolving security codes that are difficult to duplicate.
- Battery backup. Don’t let a power outage put you at risk. Get battery backup for your garage door opener to ensure your security stays tight when there is a storm or other causes of power outages. This also ensures you have easy access in and out of your garage when there is no power to your home.
Modern garage door openers have incredible features to help keep your home and garage secure. Talk to your local garage door repair company about upgrading your opener to give you more options to keep your home and family safe.
