π Tip Tuesday β Is Your Garage Keypad & Remote as Secure as You Think?
Your garage door is one of the most common entry points into your home β and most homeowners never think twice about their keypad code or remote security. Here are a few simple things you can do right now to tighten things up:
π’ Change your default code β If you've never changed your keypad code from the factory default, do it today. Default codes are easy to guess and widely known.
π Never leave your remote visible in your car β A garage door remote sitting on your dashboard or visor is essentially a key to your home. Keep it out of sight or use a keychain remote instead.
π± Consider upgrading to a smart opener β Smart openers with rolling code technology generate a new code every time you use them, making them virtually impossible to hack.
π¨βπ©βπ§ Limit who has access β If you've given out your code to contractors, housekeepers or neighbors, consider changing it periodically especially after work is completed.
π Check your keypad battery β A dying battery can cause your keypad to malfunction and leave you locked out at the worst possible time!
