A lot of people go away this week and stay into the weekend for Thanksgiving to be with family and friends. If you are going to be out of town and not using your garage door we at OnTrack Garage Doors in Somers, NY recommend securing it.
Here’s a few ways to lock your garage door:
1. Unplug the motor unit from the outlet on the ceiling in the garage. This will prevent anyone from using the garage door in your absence.
2. Use the mechanical slide lock on the inside of your garage door (if equipped) to act as a deadbolt lock. We at OnTrack Garage Doors remind that you disconnect the power before using the manual lock to prevent damage to the door or garage door opener upon your return, that is if you forget that you locked the door.
3. Use the “lock” or “vacation” switch on your wall control inside the garage. This will turn off remote control access. Again, we recommend unplugging the unit for better security as described above.
If you have any question or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact us at 914.301.2026. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
