Garage break-ins are on the rise and one of the easiest ways thieves gain entry is using the keypad on the outside of the garage door.
If you have an exterior keypad on your garage door make sure you have a difficult code to guess or disconnect it from your door opener.
Never leave your garage overhead door open when cutting the grass or not in the garage. Never leave your garage door button in your vehicle parked outside. Always close your garage overhead door and Lock your car door and garage man door.
An alarm system is the best way to warn you of an attempted break-in and protect your family and property.
Another way to enhance the security of the garage door is to integrate the garage door with the alarm system so you can monitor the status of the door and open and close it using the Ion Smart Security App on your phone. Integrating the garage door with the security SYSTEM is SMART and you won’t even need the exterior garage keypad anymore … simply open and close the garage door using the App on your phone, tablet or even apple watch.
Another good way to increase the security of your garage is to add video cameras to the inside and outside of your garage. This way you can see whats happening on the inside and outside of your garage anytime.
If you want even tougher security Add a SMART Switch to turn off the power to the garage door opener when you ARM your Alarm system and turn on the power when you DISARM the Alarm system
If you’re going on a vacation turn off the power to your garage door opener or unplug it.
Don’t be a victim, garage break-ins are happening in your neighbourhood right now so lock your doors and take measures to protect yourself before something bad happens.
