There can be no disputing the fact that garage doors have improved in leaps and bounds over the decades, and they are now more attractive, robust and secure than ever before. With a wide range of styles, colours and materials to choose from, selecting a new garage door that will compliment your home while keeping you safe, has never been more exciting, and many homeowners are opting to upgrade their garage doors. However, while most modern garage doors now have electronic or digital locking systems to help improve security, they can still be vulnerable to some criminals, particularly those who use hacking techniques. Criminals may get a hold of your digital code or know how to manually release the door from the opener.
Here’s how hackers can gain unlawful access to your garage, and how you can prevent that from happening: Hackers and your digital security system: If your garage door has an old digital security system, then you may be vulnerable to hackers who can steal your single fixed digital code, and simply enter your garage, and then your home. New, more modern systems use a rolling or hopping code, which is passed between the opener and its corresponding remote and is altered each time you click the button. Because the code changes each time the door is opened and closed, hackers are not able to intercept it and use it to trespass.
In some cases, sophisticated hackers block the garage door from opening just as the code is being transmitted and record it. Then, at the second attempt, a new code is sent, and the garage door opens. The criminal now has an old code that was generated but not used to completion, and unfortunately, some older garage door security systems might still enable this code to work. Upgrading your security system: This is the simplest and most effective way of ensuring that even the most sophisticated of criminals cannot gain access to your garage or home. With a rolling code system, not only are the codes generated randomly each time the opener is used, but they are encrypted, making it even tougher for criminals to hack their way into the system.
This extra layer of security is vital and will give you the peace of mind that every homeowner is looking for. Garage door repairs: While it’s important to have the newest digital system for your garage door, it’s also important to ensure that your door can’t be physically broken into, so get any repairs fixed as quickly as possible, and have your door and its mechanical components serviced at least every couple of years. Garage door installation has become a much quicker process over the years, and so if you do need to get your garage door replaced, it can be done hassle-free.
