How Garage Door Openers Can Improve Your Home Security

As a homeowner, ensuring the security of your home is essential to protect your family and belongings. One often overlooked aspect of home security is the garage door. Fortunately, B&D garage door openers provide innovative features and technologies to enhance your home security.

Automatic Closing

The automatic closing feature in garage door openers can improve your home security by ensuring that your garage door is always shut when you leave the home. This feature allows you to set a timer for your garage door to automatically close after a certain amount of time, preventing it from being left open accidentally.

Benefits of Automatic Closing

Automatic closing can help prevent break-ins by making sure your garage door is always closed and secure. It also offers peace of mind by removing the need to manually close your garage door. If you’re interested in more ways to secure your door, check out our security upgrades.

Safety Features of Automatic Closing

No need to worry about the door closing automatically if someone or something is underneath it. B&D garage door openers are compatible with state-of-the-art safety beams that detect objects in the door’s path, preventing it from closing and ensuring the safety of people and pets.

Smartphone Control

Smartphone control allows you to open and close your garage door from anywhere in the world, improving your home security by providing convenient and secure access to your garage.

Benefits of Smartphone Control Access

Smartphone control access removes the need to be near your garage door when operating it, so you’re less likely to leave it open by mistake. You can close it from anywhere with just a tap. It also offers a secure, key-free way to enter your garage, reducing the risk of lost or stolen keys. For more details, see our Smart Phone Control Kit.

Reduces the Risks of Remote Control Access

Remote control access can pose security risks if not well-secured. It’s important to keep your remote out of sight from potential intruders. Learn more about B&D’s remote controls and how to keep them safe.

Rolling Code Technology

Rolling code technology is a security feature that changes the access code for your garage door opener every time you use it, preventing unauthorised access via nasty apps.

How Rolling Code Technology Works: Rolling code technology uses a complex algorithm to generate a new access code every time you use your garage door opener, making it virtually impossible for unauthorised users to gain access and reducing the risk of break-ins.

Security Risks of Not Having Rolling Code Technology: Garage door openers without rolling code technology are more vulnerable to hacking via nasty apps and providing unauthorised access.

Battery Backup

Battery backup ensures your garage door opener continues to function during a power outage. This crucial feature improves home security by keeping your garage door operational at all times. Consider adding Battery Back-Up to your system for uninterrupted performance.

Importance of Battery Backup During Power Outages
During power outages, garage doors may become stuck in the open or closed position, leaving your home vulnerable to break-ins. Battery backup ensures that your garage door remains operational, preventing this risk.

Best Practices for Battery Backup Maintenance
To ensure the reliability of your battery backup, it's important to perform regular maintenance and inspections, including testing the battery backup regularly and replacing the battery as needed.
