When you move into a new home, you are excited as you start to unpack, decorate, and get to know a new neighborhood. But with endless entries on your moving to-do list, there’s one crucial task that many homeowners forget: reprogramming your garage door remote opener. It may feel like a minuscule task, but it’s a step you’ll have to take to protect your new home. Here’s why it is vital.

You Don’t Know Who Else Has Access

Unless your house is new, it is likely that previous owners, tenants, maintenance workers, etc., still have the garage door remote or, worse, still know the keypad code. When reprogramming your garage door, the remote stops your current code from operating your garage door device, which means your garage cannot be hacked or accessed by another person.

Protect Your Home and Valuables

Your garage is one of the most common points of entry into a home and the place where valuables are kept, such as tools, bicycles, and cars. So, by reprogramming a garage door remote, you can decrease the chance of burglaries and only allow people that you know and trust to access your property.

It’s Quick and Easy

Most current garage door openers have an easy process for adding or reprogramming remotes. With a couple of buttons, you can clear the old codes and program the remote to the opener’s new security codes. If you’re not sure how to do that, a pro such as Value Garage Doors can help ensure everything is set up correctly.

Enhances Overall Security Measures

Reprogramming your garage door remote is an additional security measure, similar to rekeying locks, upgrading alarm systems, or installing security cameras. It’s just one more thing that makes you feel a little safer in your new home.

Peace of Mind for Your Family

Your family can rest easy when you know your garage door system is safe and secure. This gives you all the peace of mind you need to make the most of your new home. It’s a tiny step that provides a lot of reassurance.
