How Garage Door Openers Help Enhance Home Security

When it comes to protecting your home, the garage is often forgotten. Yet, it’s also a battleground for intruders. At Portes Garage Door, we realize that your garage is more than just the place where you put the car. It’s a key location in your home where access is just as important as the value inside! That’s why today’s garage door openers do more than just open or shut your door—they act as an extra defense line for your home’s security.

Rolling Code Technology: One innovative feature that has emerged in garage door openers today is rolling code technology. Rolling codes are used by newer systems and are different every time the remote is used, as opposed to a fixed code. This renders your code grabber-proof, making it impossible for gangsters to clone or intercept your signal.

Smart Connectivity: Smart garage door openers enable you to control and monitor your garage using your smartphone from anywhere. Have you left your garage door open and wondered if you closed it? No worries—just open your app and shut it down remotely. You’ll also get notifications in real-time whenever your garage is opened unexpectedly, providing additional peace of mind when you’re out of town.

Automatic Locking Mechanisms: Some high-tech openers now come with automatic deadbolt locks that engage when the door is shut. These are an added deterrent to forced entry attempts. Adding a heavy-duty and sturdy door installed by experts such as Portes Garage Doors dramatically lowers the risk of your residence being a target.

Integrated Cameras and Motion Sensors: Some models now have in-built cameras and motion detectors that perform video surveillance and alert you when something does not make sense. These can be paired with your smart home system or smartphone so that you can watch over your property 24/7.

Battery Backup for Power Outages: There should be constant security, even when the power goes out. For added convenience, the garage door opener features a built-in battery backup to ensure the system doesn’t fail when the power goes out, and it allows the opener to close the door during a power outage.

User Access Management: Smart openers will also allow you to generate unique access codes for various users—whether it’s a family member, a guest, or a delivery driver. You can restrict access times or get alerted whenever the door is used, so you can be in control of who and when remotely accesses your home.
