Garage Door Security, Part II

Security is near the front of everyone's mind, especially in regards to home security. Here are a few more tips on how to keep your garage secure using your garage door opener:

#1. When you move into a new home, it is adviseable to change the code for you garage door remotes and keypad. This is also important if a remote is lost or stolen. If your operating system uses dip-switch technology, you might consider replacing it with one that has rolling-code technology. Rolling code simply means that each time the remote & the opener communicate, a different code is used. This prevents your code from being "grabbed" by any outside technology and used to operate your door without your knowledge. For directions on how to reprogram your Genie (rolling code or dip switch technology), Multicode, or Hoermann brand remotes & keypads, please visit the help page of our website at: http://www.lestersgaragedoors.com/page8.html.

#2. Do not regularly store your garage door remote in your vehicle unless your car is secure inside the closed garage. There have been recent cases in which a thief will break into a car, steal the garage door remote and come back later when the occupants are gone. We recommend utilizing a keypad or the built in control system in your car (when available), or taking the remote inside with you at the end of the day.
