Garage Door Opener Security, Part 1

Keeping your home secure is a big priority. So how can you know that your garage is secure at night or when you're out of town? Here are a few tips to get you started:

#1. Always keep the door connecting your home and garage locked.

#2. Unplug opener (with door closed and still engaged to motor) or use a vacation switch when going out of town.

#3. If you have an outside keypad, be sure to keep the passcode secret among persons with that information. A temporary pin can be programmed for guests or repair persons to use in your absence. Refer to your users manual for programming directions (for Genie keypad instructions, please visit our website at www.lestersgaragedoors.com under "Help Page" on the navigation bar).

#4. Check remotes and wall button regularly to confirm that buttons are not sticking. If you keep any spare remotes stored in your home, be sure that there is nothing pressing down on top of them. A stuck button can cause the door to operate on its own, which can leave your home vulnerable.
