In our modern age, safety in the home should be a top priority. While most homeowners initially think about their alarm panel, cameras, and smart locks as their first line of defense, a commonly overlooked aspect of home security is the garage door keypad. At Toronto Garage Door Guys, we strive to offer straightforward and cost-effective solutions that enhance the safety and convenience of your home.
What is a Garage Door Keypad?
A garage door keypad is a wireless, weatherproof keypad that easily mounts to the outside of your garage. It means you don’t need a remote or a key to open or close a garage door; instead, you enter your PIN code to do it. It grants you convenient access to your garage and also provides an extra layer of protection.
How Garage Door Keypads Enhance Home Security
No More Lost or Stolen Remotes: Conventional garage door openers are operated by a remote control that you can keep in your car or bring with you in your travel bag, and these can be misplaced, lost, or stolen. Should one of those remotes fall into the wrong hands, they would be a huge security risk. Stop carrying around a clunky remote that goes missing: install a garage door keypad and program out an access code.
Customizable Access Codes: With most of the newer garage door keypads, you can program temporary or unique PINs. For example:
Let a friend or service provider inside without giving them permanent access.
Update the code frequently to improve security.
Generate multiple codes for other family members to monitor use.
No Need for Spare Keys: Lots of people like to hide spare keys around their house, since hiding a spare key is a lot more convenient than calling a locksmith to open your door for you, especially if you live in a small town. A garage door keypad alleviates this issue by offering safe and convenient keyless entry, ensuring you’re never late again.
Works During Power Outages: Concerned you might be locked out if a power failure occurs? Some garage door keypads operate on battery backups, allowing you to access the garage still even if the power is lost.
Prevents Unauthorized Access: Utilizing state-of-the-art encryption and rolling code technology, the latest garage keypad models virtually eliminate the chance of a hacking or code-grabbing breach, thus preventing contact between the intruder and your garage—and your house.
Convenience Meets Security
In addition to being safer, garage door keypads are handy. Whether you’re returning from a run with the dog, carrying groceries, or multiple bags of laundry, proximity keyless (your smartphone is your key) and keypad lock voice commands allow you to put everything away with your hands free.
