5 Tips To Keep Your Garage Door Safe Using Your Garage Door Opener

1. Keep valuables out of sight. If you have any valuable items in your garage, please ensure they're well out of sight of any windows. Thieves are more likely to target homes where they can see valuable items from the outside.

2. Make sure your door is sturdy and in good condition. A flimsy or damaged door is much easier to break into than a solid one. If your garage door needs repairs, don't put them off any longer— get them done before the holiday season.

3. Consider upgrading to a smart garage door opener. Smart openers have features like a built-in phone app that allows you to control and see your garage door status at any time from anywhere in the world. This can give you an extra layer of security against thieves.

4. Be extra careful if you're traveling for the holidays. If you will be away from home for an extended period, notify your security company so they can monitor your home while you're gone. You should also ask a trusted neighbor to monitor things while you're away—just in case.

5. Most importantly, if your garage door is attached to your house with a connecting door, click the "lock" option on the wall button. This will lock the garage door and can be disabled only by clicking on the "lock" option again.

Bonus tip: Give yourself peace of mind this holiday season by scheduling a garage door maintenance checkup before things get too hectic.
