Garage Door Security Tips To Prevent Home Invasions
Garage Door Openers
One of the first ways to make your garage door more secure is to have a remote-controlled door opener or key code to open your garage door.
If you can manually open and close your garage door, an intruder can, too.
With your garage door opener, here are a few tips we recommend following.
Regularly change your keypad opener code.
Get the OHD Anywhere® App. This app prioritizes the safety of your home by controlling access permissions and receiving timely alerts for prolonged door openings, late-night activities, or instances when you’re away.
Lights
Motion sensors or outside lighting can help deter a potential intruder from entering your home. Use lights to your ability; place them around the garage door and windows.
You may also opt to purchase a Spotlight, which can be synced to your phone and allows you to control the lights on or off state.
Camera
Installing a security camera near your garage can help deter crime by 50%. Some cameras can connect with your phone, giving you real-time access to what’s happening at your home.
Home Alarm
Setting a home alarm will help alert you and your neighbors if someone is trying to enter your home. This alarm is handy when you’re away or at night when everyone sleeps.
